Hands down, Cafe Katsuri offers some of the best South-East Asian food and best customer service I have ever witnessed.

The menu is quite wide, offering an assortment of Indian, Malaysian and Thai dishes. Of the various dishes I've sampled, I can't complain about a single one. The best is their lamb korma, which is easily the best I've ever had. Their Thai noodles are similarly delicious. Prices are slightly more expensive than other restaurants, but the food is brilliant. Also, every dish is halal if that affects you.

There is also an assortment of drinks and iced teas, although their coconut juice is by far my favourite, tasting nothing like the terrible-tasting coconut water served in bottles.

The waitstaff are incredibly warm and friendly. I've had separate encounters with three of them, all whom I ended up in conversation with for several minutes, with jokes and laughter apart of it. During the payment in particular, they tend to converse in a very sincere manner, and leave you feeling positive. Before and during meals they are also very accommodating, topping up your glass without having to ask and making sure everything is going well. You will occasionally experience delays receiving food, which I think is a luck thing.

The design of the place is nothing fancy, although most restaurants directly on George Street don't tend to be very decorated. However it's still comfortable, and the food quality more than makes up for it. Don't underestimate this charming restaurant!

Cafe Kasturi is a lovely place to go for an authentic Malaysian meal, with great value for money. The curries are great, as are the entrees, and you will not be able to leave without trying a few dishes...they are too yummy. Don't go pass the desserts, especially if you like durian. Very very nice indeed. A group of friends is great to take there, as there are private dining rooms upstairs.

Approximate cost: $5-20

Tasty food and reasonably priced! The service is good, first night we went there we had our waiter explain where the dishes came from and what they go with best! I don't like the lighting over the tables though, it feels like an interogation room! Overall a restaurant I would recommend!

Service was quite okay; curry and satay are the favourite winner on the table; the portion was quite generous and the ambience is quite okay. Laksa was also good and tasty. Slightly expensive though
