What recent reviews say

Bimba fills a gap for people wanting a decorated cafe that genuinely welcomes dogs indoors. Staff actively encourage unleashing pets, the space feels cool and relaxed, and most visitors leave impressed by generous portions and low prices: a dinner set with drink for RM13, or big breakfast with curry mee. The consistency stumbles occasionally: one guest waited 15-30 minutes between dishes while another praised fast service, and a plate of noodles arrived heavy with processed meat where the menu photo showed vegetables.

The second-floor location in SS2 draws birthday celebrations and weekend couples. Coffee and drinks (Assam boi soda, mango/rum cocktail) appear genuine strengths. Cleanliness and fresh ingredients come up repeatedly. One note: a small minority report service lapses and food that misses expectations, so manage expectations on your first visit.

Roast duck is the draw here: reviewers praise its tenderness, aroma, and lack of off-flavours, with char siu wontons running a close second. The owner and lady boss earn consistent mention for friendliness. Yet service has rough edges. Dishes arrive cold despite requests, some menu items underperform (bland curry and wonton soup), and table management leaves guests frustrated. One reviewer waited half an hour only to have a stranger seated at their table without consent; another arrived at 7:30 p.m. to find staff refusing service despite the 8 p.m. closing time still in effect. Food quality anchors the 4.4 rating. The curry chicken draws specific praise as "above average" and "high standard"; milk tea is described as fragrant and smooth. But consistency falters. Wontons and duck noodles come cold. The signature Cham (a rice noodle dish) scores "barely okay" from one reviewer and "very bland" from another. Staff training appears uneven, with one review noting they "need more training." Closing times confuse customers.

Rekindle stands out for its premium alcoholic cakes: reviewers rave about the peanut butter banana and Kahlúa tiramisu slices, praising the balance of flavour and freshness. Staff greet visitors warmly and service moves quickly. The SS2 space feels spacious and calm on quieter visits, ideal for meetings or solo work. Popular items vanish fast, and the growing crowd noise can undermine that quiet vibe. Prices have climbed notably: slices run RM19 or higher. Chairs lack comfort, and complimentary water has ended. Reviewers still rank the cakes worth the cost, but the venue's appeal depends on when you visit and what you order.

Most visits yield praise for warm service, appealing decor, and affordable food in SS2. Main dishes like lamb chop, salmon pasta, and loh mee draw repeat visits, though pizza quality varies and portion sizes disappoint some.
