I often dine at Syed Cafe at SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, and the service has always been warm and welcoming. A special mention to Kumar and Rafi, who are consistently friendly, engaging and attentive. They always take the initiative to check on customers and serve everyone with a genuine smile. This kind of hospitality feels increasingly rare in the F&B industry, so it really stands out and makes every visit more enjoyable. Thank you, Kumar and Rafi, for always making us feel welcomed. Keep up the excellent service!

Food portion is large but our spaghetti is oily. Prawn are big and fresh. Also the pineapple rice is recommended. Staffs are friendly and food serve quick even on the crowded Saturday dinning time.

Just had dinner here, and oddly we just found this place while searching around for certain dishes. Saw that the reviews here could point to hits and misses, but guess it was hits for us. The restaurant really has a menu thats spans many cultures, but of course leaning more towards I believe Arab and Turkish roots. We landed on Dum Mutton Briyani, Butter Chicken with Rice and one of my kids was spoilt for choice as he wanted to try many of the Turkish items but in the end, got the Mousakka with lamb (like a lagsana). I also got the Kalaki under the omelette section which the manager explained was like an omelette with pleasant gravy within. I must admit we loved all the dishes and I really like the papadum that came with the Briyani which was not the typical kind but thicker and crunchier. In the end, it was really filling for all of us. The only gripe I have was that the kopi I got was really sweet, too sweet for my liking, thus would have to get siu dai in future. Service wise, the staff were all attentive and the manager was friendly. Even when I went to ask for some utensils, the waiter wanted to bring over to my table, but I told him it was ok. We were early around 5, so crowd wise, there were still ample tables. So all in all, a good experience and would definitely be back.

Strictly a BREAKFAST review for Syed Cafe Exclusive at SAFRA CCK ah. Don’t come for me if your lunch or dinner experience different 😂 First things first… ambience? SOLID. 4 stars mainly because this place is peaceful, no crowd, chill enough to make you feel like you retired early and life finally makes sense. Good place to lepak with friends and family. PLUS THEY OPEN AT 7AM. Which honestly shocked me because nowadays every restaurant selling “breakfast” opens at the exact timing normal humans already finished breakfast and halfway to depression at work 🤡 Now the confusing part… The Brioche Egg Benedict and Croissant Florentine came looking like they attended witness protection program. The menu photos and the actual food were not even cousins. I swear I thought I saw ham in the Egg Benedict picture but when the food arrived, even I started questioning my eyesight and life choices. Taste-wise… not really my thing. The spinach in the Florentine had that bitter taste that makes you suddenly understand what adulthood feels like. Also the Ice Lemongrass . Makes you question your own existence. Suddenly I forgot what lemongrass tastes like. The glucose syrup overpowers the taste like your Mum’s scolding, creating depression for days. BUT. THE MASALA TEA. Broooooo. That tea felt like a soft reset button for life. Perfect holiday morning vibes. Sit there, sip slowly, stare into the distance like you’re the main character in a Netflix series. AND THE REAL MAIN CHARACTER: THE RAVA THOSAI. This one… this one deserves its own SAFRA membership. CRISPY.LIGHT.ADDICTIVE. One plate is NOT enough. I repeat. NOT enough. I was halfway through the first piece already mentally preparing to order second round. Whoever made that rava thosai cooked with love, experience, and probably black magic. Honestly if you go there, skip the confusion and head straight for: Masala Tea & Rava Thosai Everything else? Up to Allah and your own risk appetite 😂

We came here because of the many glowing reviews and the steady stream of patrons walking in, so we thought it was worth a try. The menu is extensive, with a wide range of Western, Thai, and Indian options. We were in the mood for both seafood, western and Indian food, so we ordered the $59.90 seafood platter with mandi rice. I shall not review about the carbonara that I ordered as western cuisine is definitely not their speciality (I should have known better) To be fair, the price felt reasonable for a seafood platter. Aesthetically, the dish looked fine at first. But when we dug in, we were disappointed with the quality. The tiger prawns were overcooked to the point where they were hard to peel, and we barely got any flesh from them. They didn’t taste fresh either. The soft shell crab was very small, and unfortunately quite salty. The platter came with a few different gravies, and since the café is known for Indian cuisine, we had high expectations. However, all of them were too salty for our taste and didn’t really complement the seafood. We are not the type to waste food so we had to grumbly eat them but had to leave 2/4 prawns untouched. The café is clearly popular and does attract a crowd, which is impressive. Sadly, the food didn’t live up to the hype for us this time. We hope the kitchen can look into the seasoning and cooking of the seafood, as the concept and pricing do have potential.
