Very popular restaurant, make sure to book in advance. Cannot fault any of the dishes ordered. They made a mistake on one of our dishes & that dish was given to us for free which was a generous gesture. Young girl serving our table upstairs was polite & efficient. Bonus: no weekend surcharge nor credit card surcharge.

Delicious South East Asian cuisine We got the last table for four after numerous attempts at making a reservation and were therefore looking forward to the visit with anticipation. The food was delicious and the service reasonably good given how packed the venue was. Be warned that the sizes of the dishes are pretty big. Despite our reservations, we ordered an additional dish on the advise of the waiter and found that we had way too much food. The dishes were tasty and authentic, the highlight of course being the Malay salad that the restaurant was named after. Made with really fresh "greens" and topped off with a nicely balance hot, sweet and sour dressing, their Kerabu was delicious. The dishes we ordered were reminiscent of the local food found on the border of Malaysia and Thailand which makes sense why a restaurant named after a Malay salad would be list under Thai cuisine. Kerabu is certainly on our recommended list if you are after good authentic South East Asian cuisine.

A number of fun items on the menu..the flavours were tangy and uplifting. Entrees are fun to share and the mains were well priced. The chairs are a bit stiff but overall a good experience.

Update: 06/01/2023 I went to Kerabu with a friend again. I felt like having fish this time and asked recommendation from the staff there. She recommended Gulai Ikan as I said I would like to have something more like Malaysian style. The fish was very well cooked with nice curry flavor. Again in large portion. Initially, my friend thought $45 was too expensive for a fish dish, but after he saw the portion and had the food, he is 100% convinced it’s value for money and he’s listed Kerabu as the restaurant he will take his mom to. - original- Loved Char Kway Teow, chicken Satay and duck curry. All in large portions. The staffs were nice and friendly. Will go there again!

It was very busy in spite of the other restaurants nearby so it is best to book. Service was efficient and friendly. We shared 5 entrees and each was delicious with the curry puffs and the prawn thingy (see photo) being the standouts. Green Thai chicken, fish, beef and seafood for shared mains and we were full. BYO helped keep the cost down to $100 a couple including tip. Worth a visit.
