    Chicken Kari
    Jessie K.

    New (and only in the area) Malaysian place in Scarsdale village, opened 3 months ago according to our waiter. Decor is very cute, went late on a Friday evening and there was plenty of seating. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Roti canai was yummy. The Milo tea isn't really tea, it's basically what I think is maybe an Asian version of nesquik? But the price was reasonable for the serving size. Ended up with leftovers! I haven't had much Malaysian food so I don't have a comparison, but I think it's excellent that this place opened in Scarsdale village. The chicken Kari was flavorful, a bit thinner/more soup-consistency than what I traditionally think of curry (Indian, Japanese). It also came with a healthy serving of rice. The roti was also yummy, not as fluffy as other roti I've had, which isn't bad, just an observation. It could also be due to different cuisine styles rather than being restaurant specific. I'm hoping that the community will be willing to try something new for their palate that might not be like the typical Italian, American fare that you find around here--it's definitely worth it. I hope that this place does well!

    Kid-friendly!

    Delicious food and a welcome addition to Westchester! Food is very tasty and reasonably-priced. Came here with two kids under 6 and they both ate happily and like horses. Service is super friendly and warm. No frills, but perfectly comfortable. Will be glad to come again.

    Beef Ginger & Green Onion

    I was excited to try this place after it came highly recommended. We went early on a Friday night and were lucky to get in as many others without reservations were turned away. It's a small casual place with not many tables. Felt like it was going to be a real find. Then the food arrived. We ordered the beef with ginger and the mee goreng. Both were flavorful but overly salty. It was good but nothing special.

    Nasi Goreng without shrimp. Delicious! Very fragrant.

    Ordered delivery from this place; got the Nasi Goreng. While I think of this dish as Indonesian, it was absolutely delicious! The flavor was very good, and it had tender pieces of chicken too; I loved the spices. Will be ordering it again tonight! I'm also looking forward to trying the other dishes; though I will say I would like to go there rather than ordering it for delivery; as with a lot of places, I'm sure eating it fresh from the kitchen is better than having it sit waiting for the pickup. Highly recommend!

    I loved this restaurant, the food is flavorful, fresh, and extremely authentic and the staff was especially amazing and friendly. The chicken Nasi Lemak was beyond tender and the portion was more than enough for two. The roti canai was also very good. The sambal was excellent, also very flavorful. It was a great marriage of cuisines Definitely get a drink, they use fresh mint and fruits in some of them!! The prices were so affordable.

    Got chicken in red curry. Somewhat skimpy on chicken for price. Lumpia (fritters) were delicious and dipping sauces good. Will try again.

    We ordered chicken satay, iced longan, char kuey teow, and beef Hor fun. The chef is from Malaysia and we strike up a good conversation.

    I might be biased in this review because Thai food is my absolute favorite cuisine but what's good…read moreis good!!! We had noticed this place after having dinner at Red Hat and I made it known I wanted to eat here for my birthday and my birthday wish came true! The restaurant is 2 floors but the 2nd floor is where to be. They have this wonderful balcony that puts you with a beautiful backdrop for your meal. For our meal we opted for the lunch special which comes with choice of soup or salad and a classic dish entree. I got the Green Papaya Salad and Green Curry with chicken and my mother got the Kao Tum Soup and the Ginger Scallion entree with chicken. Since it was our first time here we had to also order a few more appetizers to try so we got the Chive Cake and Asian Cauliflower as well. The chive cake was lightly crispy and had a smooth chewy texture that was delightful. The cauliflower was tossed in the tangy sweet and sour sauce but still maintained its crispness on the outside and yet perfectly cooked on the inside. The green papaya salad was outstanding! I love the sourness, saltiness, nuttiness and freshness. My mouth is watering just thinking of that dish. The soup was a wonderful clear stock but tasted of the delicious aromatics it was steeped in. The green curry is always my go to and with good reason. The green coconut broth is so flavorful and a slight hint of spice that coats the chicken and vegetables perfectly. The rice is like a sponge for that delicious sauce. The ginger scallion was also soooo good. The sauce had this charred flavor that was amazing. Our drinks were also just as good as the food! My mom got the lychee Thai iced tea and I got the Tender Coconut. I was definitely not expecting to have the whole coconut in my glass so that was a fun experience! The iced tea was the best of both worlds and not too sweet. After I had finished drinking all the coconut water, they went ahead and cracked it so I could eat the coconut meat so that was a nice little dessert after a fabulous meal!

    Sambal Thai & Malay was an absolute treat from start to finish! You know when you take the first…read morebite of something and immediately realize, "Oh, they know what they're doing here"? That was basically our entire meal. The Larb Kai Salad was incredibly fresh, bright, and packed with flavor--the perfect balance of savory, tangy, spicy, and refreshing. The Massaman Curry was pure comfort food: rich, creamy, beautifully spiced, and the kind of dish you just want to keep going back to for one more bite. And the Pad Lee Maow was absolutely delicious--bold, savory, perfectly seasoned, and full of that wonderful wok-fired flavor that makes the dish so addictive. What really stood out was how much flavor and care there was in everything. Nothing tasted generic or thrown together. Every dish had its own personality, and you could genuinely taste the love that went into the food. The view and ambiance were just as incredible as the meal. The atmosphere made everything feel that much more special--relaxing, beautiful, and perfect for enjoying a great meal. It's the kind of place where you want to sit, take your time, and really enjoy the whole experience. There's something special about a restaurant that can make a meal feel comforting, exciting, and memorable all at the same time, and Sambal absolutely did that for us. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next. If you love Thai and Malaysian food--or just really, really good food--do yourself a favor and give Sambal a try. We'll definitely be back!

    Haiku has a great lunch menu! I usually order my go-to, the lunch sesame chicken, but this time I…read morewanted to switch it up and tried the sesame shrimp with white rice and broccoli. It also comes with soup or salad, and I always choose the salad. The food was fresh and tasty, and the restaurant is clean and pretty spacious inside. Service was okay--my server didn't check in until I was almost finished with my meal--but overall it was still a pleasant experience. If you work nearby and have a lunch hour, this is a great spot to grab a quick bite and even squeeze in a little shopping since Haiku is located in a shopping plaza with LOFT, Chico's, and a sneaker shop. You can easily be in and out in under an hour.

    We have been to the other location over on Mamaroneck Rd in White Plains. We love that place so…read morenaturally it will be hard not to compare. For starters this place is smaller and feels a little bit more crowded in on one another. The food however was very good. I think there is a slight language barrier today because I asked for my Crispy Shredded Sechuan beef extra spice but they left out the heat and made it extra crispy. Nothing that some hot sauce didn't cure. But it was excellent. I'll know better next time to make sure that they get my request correctly . This is not an inexpensive meal. One soup, two entrees, two glasses of wine and a beer - just around $120 with tip. Well worth it. I'll be back when I'm not closer to the other location.(more room)
