A cozy corner cafe with a warm interior and nice staff. Visited at dinner time and tried their spicy tomato salmon spaghetti as recommended by many, no regrets because I couldn't get enough. The sauce was delightful and I'm sure to come back for it. The beef lasagna's flavour reminded me of curry puff filling which was quite interesting, although just a bit bland. They're very generous with the beef and slice so it was quite filling as well. Their portion of iced butterscotch and vanilla lattes got us through a nice dinner, a good chat session and the rest of our Saturday night. I recommend!

Important to note first: They open around 12.15-12.30pm on Sunday even though their website says 12pm. Bana Bana exceed my expectations. I ordered the Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce. Usually, lemon butter sauce from other eateries is too buttery for me and I will get sick of it fast. But Bana Bana's one is lemony and bright. I slurped up all of it. My friend had Shaksouka. She said it was "not bad". For drinks, I had Teh Tarik. It was good too. I was very pleasantly surprised! Had the Waffles with chocolate ice cream for dessert. They were so generous. They gave me 3 waffles and a big scoop of the ice cream! You can genuinely taste the chocolate in the ice cream and it was bittersweet which I really love. If you're not a sweet tooth, I think can ask to leave out the caramel and chocolate sauce. After eating, my friend and I went upstairs to play some games. (Note that you have to pay an hourly/two-hour rates for this.) I really love the cozy and intimate setting. There are a lot of games to play with too—Cluedo, UNO, Exploding Kittens, Monopoly, Nineties Charades, and others. Also, A*** for the music. Novo Amor, Bon Iver, The Paper Kites, Amy Winehouse, etc etc 😘🤌 The staff are friendly and warm. You can tell their service is human-centered. May Allah increase your rezeki, guys! Allahumma Amin :-) Will definitely come here again, inshaAllah!

🥧 Food & Taste: Was extremely disappointed that because they had some private event going on on the second storey, their kitchen was closed to the public for ordering any other food on the menu so we were kind of forced to pick out something from the counter shelves which were mostly baked pastries. 🥴 We had the shepherd’s pie, chicken lasagna and cheesecake and all of the items were not good. Shepherd’s pie was extremely cold from being left out on the counter and not heated even though we dined in. The chicken lasagna was extremely oily. The cheesecake texture was weird as it was dry and tasted more like gelatine than a soft moist cheese cake. 📍 Place: The place is located next to the main road so it is pretty accessible. 🤵🏻 Service: Quite slow. 💰 Price: Standard cafe pricing. 🐣Waiting Time: Quite long considering that all the foods we ordered were already cooked and left on the countertop so they just had to be heated in the microwave before serving.

Good experience at this café. They only do takeaway and the staff were happy to fill the container I brought. Great shared seating space upstairs. Would recommend the pain au chocolat and mac and cheese. There was a 2 for 1 sale on the mac and cheese as they were closing early to prepare for an event 👍🏼

Awesome food and bakery that is delicious. Great service from Nabilah. The pizzas are a must try and lasagna and pasta. Cakes too. Good place to chill with a cuppa.

I came during weekday afternoon, there were not many people around. Ordered the chocolate muffin cupcake, and a flat white. The chocolate muffin cake was warmed up pretty well, and it was not too sweet, just the way I like. The flat white was normal. Ambiance was okay and pretty calm. Nice place for me to complete my writing work for a short while.

was not crowded on the weekends and didnt realise u could eat on the level 2 of the shop itself, really wished the aircon was colder. food was surprisingly affordable for its standard and also the can drinks was 1.80$ the lamb chop was really just a chewing simulator, im not a often lamb/steak eater so i wouldn't know if the food was meant to be super chewy

bro paying $12.80 plus gst plus service charge for this kind of food. The crispy chicken 80% was floor and 20% meat 😂. The food portion was so small and overall should have trusted the 1 star review. Very disappointed and not coming back again👎

Went there to have dinner. Food was sumptuously delicious 😋 😍 There was a second level, but we chose to sit at the bottom level. Decor was nicely done, too.. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. The service was excellent. Staff members were friendly and polite, too. Portions was just nice for one person. The oreo cheesecake was really yummy 😋. We'll definitely come again.

Wanted to try something new and decided to give this place a try. The spicy kicap with beef was good but it was bland but looks rather healthy. Not sure how it was meant to be eaten? Mix it all together? Then there's also the spicy salmon pasta. It was just okay. Average. Nothing amazing. We went around 5pm and it was empty. There's plenty of seats upstairs.

Went for lunch with my sister and her boyfriend. We ordered the vegetarian Aglio Olio (Mushroom), Chicken cheesy baked rice as well as the Grilled salmon. The sauces were good. We spent about an average of $15/pax. Ambience was very peaceful and the aesthetic in that cafe was nice too. Highly recommend! Their desserts looked good as well, however yet to try. Will try again the next time I go back:))

definitely overhyped on TikTok… food was mid for the price paid. amount of vegetables given was so sad and unjustified for its price. grilled chicken was also hard and had very little meat. there was also service charge tho the service by the staff weren’t the friendliest. really nothing special about this cafe

I think they’re Aglio Olio is really delicious. But what I disliked was the service. Perhaps they were lacking staff, but our food took really long to come out (30 mins-ish). The cashier also didn’t seem like she wanted to be there … but at least the vibes were good
