May 13th 2013, my boyfriend and I invited two of our friends for dinner in this quaint place and being Malaysians, we weren't expecting much (being accustomed to good food). We ordered sup ekor, paku pakis goreng, beef rendang (must try), fried egg, Ayam Masak Merah (could have been less sweet) and mango kerabu. Absolutely divine! The performances started before... More

cozy environment, good food, traditional dancers show was a bonus, very clean toilet!, we went there for a small school reunion of 40 members, and it was done successfully, hotel staff and manager were very friendly and helpful. highly recommended if you're looking 'the not so expensive but yet great food, a little privacy and affordable restaurant'.

Returned to this restaurant with colleagues after some 6 months. I remembered it for its great beef rendang and was truly satisfied once again. Rendang is a spicy meat dish rich in spices and cooked with coconut milk. The beef rendang at Songket was tender with the right amount of spices and dryness. Service was also very good, attentive and... More

The Dancers were very good and we enjoyed our evening, thanks to wine and high spirits. But the food was pretty terrible. Even the basics: Satay, fried rice etc, were pretty much inedible. We still had fun.

We have been to Songket Restaurant on Christmas Eve. It was a fine dinner, with delicate and tasty meals. We really enjoyed the traditional dancing too. The service was excellent, it was really great and I would definitely recommend it.

All good! Food reasonably priced. Serving size is for two. Nice ambience. Friendly waiters. Cultural dance is too long.

Had a really delightful evening here - the staff are genuinely friendly and this place definately deserves its high ranking. The... More
