My husband and I dined here on our last day here in Wellington during our wider NZ tour and LOVED it! Authentic and tasty Malaysian food, so satisfying and the staff were really warm and attentive which made it a nicer experience. Will miss this place once we’re back in London! - Aisha

Hard to fault. The staff were impressively efficient...and very obliging. The food was wonderful. We had a very pleasing evening! Would happily come back here. BYO corkage was $8.50 per bottle.

Went to istana today The place , vibes , the friendly customer service were all very very good They asked how was the food and if we do need anything else The food were fine as well but the amounts was too little And the curry served alone without rice and then you need to ask for a rice side That's doesn't make any sense Curry cant be eaten alone and should be served with rice otherwise the meal is lacking and missing an essential part of it Anyway the food is not bad but the prices are high and the amounts are not that much

Good food and taste. We were 4 adults and 3 kids. We had fire vege dish. Prawn dish and lamb dish. Can’t remember the exact names. Pratha or martabak were really nice. With satay chicken skewers. And soft drinks . Overall bill 210$. This was expensive mainly bcuz we went over board with chicken skewers and ordered 5 otherwise the bill shd have been around 175$. Definitely worth visiting. And it’s halal. ======== Visited again Dec 2023. Food and quantity wise still same and good taste but price has certainly increased. 7 adults 240$
