About the restaurant

Our journey began in 2022 in Malaysia with our first restaurant nestled in Bamboo Hills, offering an unparalleled all-you-can-eat experience featuring A5 Wagyu. Our commitment to delivering the freshest, most affordable A5 Wagyu has resonated with diners, paving the way for our expansion.

In 2024, we proudly introduced our second location in the iconic Twin Tower of Kuala Lumpur. Here, guests enjoy a complete culinary journey with a sushi bar, teppanyaki, and yakiniku, all of which have garnered overwhelming praise. Encouraged by this success, we are thrilled to announce our next chapter at Seri Pacific Hotel.

I’ve never been to a restaurant this amazing—even in Japan! The atmosphere, the food, the service—everything was absolutely top-notch. It was so good that I completely lost myself in the experience and, to be honest, forgot I was the organizer of the welcome and farewell party. I got so caught up in enjoying the place that I failed to make seat changes or create space for the newcomers to connect. I regret not doing more to help them feel included—but that just shows how incredible this restaurant was. Highly, highly recommend it if you’re looking for a place that leaves a lasting impression. Next time, I’ll try to be a better host… if the restaurant doesn’t blow me away again!

Havza has beautiful food and drinks combined with the island's best view. Service was prompt and friendly. Both the food and Lenton Brae wines were delicious. My wife and I had a lovely sunset meal. I particularly loved my seared scallops. I highly recommend Havza.

This is the second time at Rechabite and the second time we have had the set menu. This time we had the wagyu steak chefs special menu and it didn't dissapoint. The food was awesome and perfect amount. We were full by the time the dessert came round. The desert was outstanding and the wagyu steak was melt in your mouth tenderness. We will be back but may try options off the menu rather than the set menu, just for something different. 😊

Great professional but friendly service. Food is terrific and such a good "vibe" to the place. One of my new favourite places to go.

Subiaco

About the restaurant

Within a beautiful Subiaco heritage building, a new neighbourhood wine bar has entered the scene on Hay Street. In the 1920s, the building was home to a provisions merchant owned by husband and wife Emily and Charles Lums. Their shop, EA Lums & Co, was a place for locals to grab quality ingredients from a family-owned shop.

With the appointment of Nick Young as Head Chef, Lums offers a brand new, vino-friendly food offering.

Nick’s resume boasts a wonderful mix of fine dining and funky neighbourhood eateries including Wildflower, Must, Bivouac and Lallah Rookh. With extensive time spent working in rural luxury resorts and Margaret River wineries, Nick brings a passion for fresh, local produce, heirloom varieties, preserving and fermentation.

The Mahogany Inn Sunday experience is so great! My daughter and I went for lunch last Sunday. We were drawn to the patio because the music was so good. We thought it was a band as we walked down the driveway, but it was a dj with an amazing sound system, and he played the absolute best music. So many old rock n roll songs from the 60's & 70's. Not heavy, just perfectly rocking. The salt and pepper calamari were excellent and the chips were crispylicious! The scallops were fresh and yummy, although the strawberries on top didn't do it for my daughter, who is a chef. All in all, it was the most pleasant afternoon and the staff were friendly and efficient. We became members because we are definitely going back.

Great location. Good atmosphere. The food was good (the Shared Platter). Only issue is having to wait in very long lines for a glass of wine. Possibly should be table service for those people who only want a glass of wine from the menu and are not interested in chatting to the servers about the different kinds of beer on offer.
