Sheela's just up the road from Federal Villas. What a find, great Malay food on an evening! Sheela is such a great host, always making sure her customers are happy with the food and happy in general. One night when we were at the restaurant Sheela's car got wiped out in front of the restaurant, Sheela I hope it got... More

One of my favourite dining places in Langkawi. Tasty food (which you can ask to spice up, according to your preference...in my case, I love it superspicy), friendly and efficient service, cosy ambience, with a very welcoming owner. We ordered local dishes, drinks and desserts. All quite tasty, and serving sufficient foran adult group of 4 and children of 2.... More

One of the few romantic places to dine in Langkawi. Lovely atmosphere and garden setting with good food to boot. We didn't try their western items but went for the malay cuisine. Loved their asam and spicy fish (snapper) as well as prawns masak lemak. We also tried their satay which was yummy. Tender skewers of meat with tasty peanut... More

First things first, this place is slightly tricky to spot since its located among many other restaurants by its side. I did not found a sign indicating the operating hours as well so when I passed by it once at around 5pm and there doesn't seem to be anyone eventhough the gate was open. Once located, you will find yourself... More

My daughter's new husband is from Malaysia and has a large family. His mother booked Sheila's for a reception. What a great place for us to meet the family. Beautiful outdoor garden setting. The food was an amazing buffet with lots of options. Staff was great.

Whoever needs a fine romantic place for dinner come to this Sheila's garden.It is one best place to try local Malay cooking and some western.Just be alert of the mosquitoes but the staff always try to keep them away. My favorite was the Chicken curry similar to Thai Masaman and also the satays was better then i had anywhere before

My whole family loves this restaurant! We had all dishes throughout the menu, and we are amazed how original both local and western varieties are! My husbands favourite is THE LANGKAWI DELIGHT with baracuda fish. My on (3 years old) eats the Children's Spaghetti Bolognese, Schnitzel and Chicken Satay until the plate is empty every time we come.

Set in the heart of Pantai Tengah this restaurant is offers a great mix of food. The location is mainly garden bound so make your you bring your deet, if you forget they have plenty to hand and after 8pm the Mosquitos disappear. A wide ranging menu to meet all needs including children, you have a great selection of Malay... More
