The Gulai House - Padang Matsirat

Our dining experience at Gulai House was truly exceptional. The satay was the best we've ever had, and we also enjoyed the deeply roasted groupers with Malay-style sauces. Our server, Afiq, was incredibly professional and friendly. The restaurant's ambiance was also lovely. We often find Malay cuisine to be delicious but overly oily; however, the food at Gulai House was not heavy, and we experienced no heartburn after the meal. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to savor high-quality local cuisine.

Although I am not a fan of traditional local dishes, I found the fusion menu at this restaurant to be a refreshing change. My group and I were on the full board package, so we decided to venture out and sample some of the unique offerings. However, we did have some confusion when ordering. Oops!

This rating is especially for Malaysians. The garlic naan was too dry. Panneer Makkani butter paneer) wasn’t soft enough but the gravy was good. Chicken dish is expensive for only 4 pieces. I have spent more than this in other luxury restaurants and received better portion that can feed 2 people and i was satisfied. However, the staff and hospitality given was 10/10 just that the food is not up-to my expectation as a Malaysian i can get more tasty food elsewhere.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented.

Beautiful environment, good eating!
