"Tamarind Cafe Baba & Nyonya is situated in ITCC shopping Mall at the front lot near the Nasi Ayam restaurant. Came for lunch with my husband. We are vegetarians and there aren't any vegetarian restaurants around ITCC. We were glad that this restaurant are okay with us customizing the menu. The space is quite small and sometimes when coming here, the tables would be full. There are outside seating areas but people often pass there so it can be very crowded. If you want to eat here, come during off peak hours, which is around 10am or 2pm when I come here. The atmosphere is quite stuffy and smells mix of food due to poor air ventilation in the cafe. So when you come out of the cafe, you will smell like food The menu offers variety of malays/Baba Nyonya Cuisine. To be honest, I don't think the menu is that wow. Its just a regular menu that we usually eat in any restaurants. They got Nasi Goreng, Mi goreng, Wan Tan Hor, Tuaran Mee, Sayur tauhu, telur goreng etc. Price wise ranges from 8++ it is a standard mall price. The food portions are satisfactory, and the food are quite delicious here! I am a fan Although, we can customize the menu to vegetarian (Change to egg, tofu and vegetables). Sometimes we get waitress that don't really understood that we have to explain But its okay because most the time, we do get waitress that are quite understanding and friendly. The owner was very nice and understanding too! Overall, I will give 4 stars for this cafe. One less star due to poor air ventilation The service here are good, foods are delicious and if you don't mind smelling like food then I definitely recommend anyone to come here!"
"Delicious foods, relaxing ambience and friendly staffs... Recommended."
