    They are currently a popup daytime cafe inside a bar (which only operates at night). Their lease runs out on 2026-05-31, at which point they will decide whether to renew or move to another location. Everything is made in-house. The food had very authentic tastes. There is an opening special of the Nasi Lamak + drink (kopi, teh, teh tarik) for $19.99. We ordered the following: 1. Milo Dinosaur ($6.99). It is Iced Milo drink with undissolved Milo powder on top. 2. Teh Tarik ($5.99). This is an off-menu item, only available when they are not busy. It was airy and slightly sweet - just right. The airiness is due to the tea (teh) pulling (tarik), back and forth. 3. Kaya Butter Toast ($4.99). There was a general amount of Kaya (coconut jam) and little slab of butter. My son had all of it so I didn't get to try it! 4. Nasi Lamak with Fried Chicken ($18.99). This is one of a Malaysian favourite dish. The skin on the chicken was so crispy and the chicken was juicy and tender. The Sambal sauce is slightly spicy and slightly sweet. The rice was soaked in coconut milk and steamed in pandan leaves. There were the traditional anchovies, peanuts, and eggs. 4. Bak Kut Teh (daily special, $28.99). The soup was good. There were several parts of pork in it, including a nice rib and pork belly. The whole dish was delicious! It comes with a bowl of rice and some chilli sauce. The owner/chef is from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He had a stall there for 20 years. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. Review 2026-090

    Iced Teh Tarik

    Went for lunch today and we're seated right away since there were only a few patrons. Water was brought out promptly. Since I was waiting for my friend to arrive, I ordered an Iced Teh, which was brought out pretty quickly. The drink itself was good with the right amount of sweetness and tea flavour. Once my friend came, we were given a few minutes to look over the menu options before having our order taken. They were also accommodating to switch my drink order to part of the meal set. I asked what their Daily Specials were and were told the names, but had no idea what they were, until the server brought over a phone to show pictures and explain a bit more about what they were. One was Roti Canai with Curry Chicken, but I had already eaten that a couple of days ago, so chose to just order off their regular menu. We ordered 3 items, so I think they assumed we were sharing them (even though that wasn't the case), so we were brought share bowls and every cutlery type (chopsticks, fork, spoon, and Asian soup spoons). The Breakfast Set came out first, so I shared some of the Kaya toast, although it wasn't enough to use up even half the eggs. Then the Nasi Lemak came, and the Noodles my friend ordered came out a little after, so we both began to eat then. The fried chicken was a little bit too salty for my preference and was also kind of dry. But the sambal was really tasty and not too spicy. As we were close to being done eating, it got a bit busier with others asking for their bill and new patrons being seated, so we had to wait quite some time before being able to ask for takeout containers (which they charge $0.25 per for) and then our bill. There is a small discount for paying cash, but I just paid by card. Definitely has potential to be more consistent with better service, but it was a decent lunch.

    I love Malaysia cuisine and to finally have one near home just helps to kick off the long weekend! The Kaya Butter Toast was tasty, love the chuck of butter inside. But was expecting to be a little bigger. The seafood noodle, the Tom yum soup was nice. My favourite was the Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken. The sambal sauce was so tasty and the anchovies went well with the rice! The service was nice and friendly even when they are busy today. The ambiance is same as when on/off the previous venue. I will come back for the Nasi Lemark and already thinking about bringing my friends and family to try!

The meal was accompanied by a rice/cabbage portion which was "to die for". All I have to say is that I could not stop savouring the amazing flavours of everything. The grandmother who prepares much of the food gave me a sample of ackee, a Jamaican fruit along with some luscious mixture of cod, along with a nice portion of bread fruit! Accompanying me were friends from Nova Scotia, one being a lady friend who was born in Jamaica. She had only excellent things to say about the meal. The interior of the restaurant was minimalistic, but very tastefully decorated with some neon lights, giving it a very cozy but high-tech ambience. In the future, I would like to try the chicken in brown sauce, which is pulled chicken simmered for hours in a brown sauce, imparting a very savoury flavor. I had the opportunity to try the pulled chicken from the plate of one of my friends, and was very , highly impressed. As I said before, I really couldn't stop eating a lot of the food once I started. That doesn't always happen in many places where I dying. I definitely will be coming back to this wonderful restaurant, and enjoyed the very warm greeting and conversation that I received from the proprietors. The prices were very reasonable, and I definitely will be a regular! Don't miss this newcomer to the St Catharines restaurant scene!

We ordered a platter for 4 to feed 3 adults and 2 hungry kids and we have plenty to spare for leftovers.

    I was looking for a special night out in Hamilton (something I'd never had to do in the past) and…read moremy research took me to an Airbnb experience that was this hidden gem. I'd never experienced anything like Saha in the past (the closest thing would be Urban Acorn Catering) but what Chef Khalil does with Saha is run a pop up restaurant at his own place in Hamilton that serves up a top of the line Middle Eastern Tasting Menu that he makes and plays host along with his lovely wife. We had a 5 course tasting menu, but with Chef Khalil being so fantastic, we ended up with a total of 9 wonderful courses (10 if you count the Arabic coffee to finish). Left feeling very full and just blown away at this delicious and wonderfully intimate experience. I won't go in to very detailed descriptions of the courses, but in all honesty every single one was a highlight, it was very difficult to pick a favourite, for me it was probably the Halibut, with Arabian tapenade that also had crispy chicken skin, I don't think I've ever had a fish dish topped with chicken and it was amazing! The feast for the eyes was definitely his dessert, a pomegranate mouse surrounded by cardamom meringues! Those 2 dishes looked amazing but tasted even better!! Red meat is my least favourite thing to eat, so I appreciated the rib of lamb not being massive, and appreciated it even more that it was a medium rare delight! What really made this evening special was the ambiance that Chef Khalil and his wife sets in their living room, a small intimate space perfect for a romantic night with a nice tall table candle and Arabic music to go with it. Throughout the evening chef would keep checking on us to make sure everything was going great, and talk about the dish we were about to have. He makes everything in house, which really blew me away, considering it was just for 2 of us and he makes such a large variety of dishes! It is BYOW, and I'm glad I messaged him beforehand to ask for his recommendation for what type of wine to bring along, since even my clumsy selection of wine worked out great thanks to his suggestion. While I found Saha through Airbnb I would recommend people just go to it via his regular website to get more info and make reservations too (cheaper than Airbnb).Chef Khalil hopes to open Saha as an intimate restaurant in Toronto next year, and I don't think there is anyone else doing a middle eastern tasting menu, but even compared to the tasting menus of O&B and the momofuku's in the world, Saha truly holds up, and I can't recommend this pop up version enough, especially for the price of close to $100/person (or less if you opt for fewer courses) it's truly a steal! I wish him and his wife the best moving forward!

We were then told that the business will be going through a rebrand with a new name and new menu offerings. For the moment the only thing that has changed is the menu. The exterior and interior is exactly the same. Flavours are very Asian fusion with things like kimchi fried rice and bi bim bap but there are also more mainstream items such as Rigatoni Alfredo with chicken and short rib Benedict. Flavours are still good with decent portions. We were checked on several times so service was good. What was a miss was how the food came out of the kitchen. Food came out sporadically with the last dish a full 10 minutes after the first leaving that person sitting and waiting while everyone else ate. This is still a very popular place. It was almost full for a Monday lunch.

There were long waits for the food, which for a party of four did not all come together. It was also probably sitting in the kitchen. Some of the food wasn't all that warm.. very little was done to make up for this as well. The food and presentation was overall very good, but just not served properly.. If we were to give the place, another chance we would wanna mention to the servers right at the start the experience we had the last time and to make sure none of these issues were to arise again. The ambiance would've been better if it wasn't so noisy and that's without full tables nearby. Parking in the plaza is very difficult, anď time consuming.

We anticipated a chaotic parking situation being familiar with the usually busy Times Square plaza but was very easy to find parking this morning. Beautiful space with modern decor. Always happy to get a booth! We got the chicken and waffle - tender,juicy chicken that's perfectly crispy on the outside. These were served with soft warm waffles and a side of syrup. We got a nice flat white. The braised beef breakfast sandwich was so tasty and went great with the Bernaise sauce (like a deconstructed eggs Benny). Would have preferred the mixed greens on the outside of the sandwich as a side salad rather than in the sandwich. It was served with a decent portion of thick cut home fries, bonus they add yams in the mix! Our first time trying a soufflé pancake. Came with 3 on the plate (not pictured as we started eating before I could take a photo lol). The texture takes some getting used to as it's almost too soft (batter-like) but they were perfectly sweet accompanied by a nice thick chocolate sauce and SMALL pieces of fruit (the banana had a nice sweet crunchy sugary glaze). Wouldve given 5 stars but but the pancake couldve been served with larger pieces of fruit or atleast way more of it. It became more of a garnish than a topping as the fruit were so so soooooo tiny! Overall will be returning to try their soft shell crab options!!

Let me start with pros: it was a neat experience, our server was very friendly, we were with great company and overall had fun together. (We will have fun no matter what!). The concept was a great idea. The only good food was the chocolate mousse dessert! Now the cons: it was WAY overpriced for the experience. People say "you pay for the experience" bull crap! Not only do you purchase tickets in advance for food and reservation, when you go that price does not include drinks or the service charge. Additionally for the price we paid, the food was down right gross. 1. It took us 45 minutes to get a drink. 2. We were over an hour and half in before we got food 2. The rolls they served I'm pretty sure were Hawaiian Rolls with a side of garlic butter 3. The soup, I don't know what the hell was in it but by the time we got it, it was cold and I couldn't even, it it GROSS. 4. You get a choice of beef chicken and we got one of each. The chicken was so salty and insanely dry I could not eat it. The beef was supposed to be short rib, it was pot roast. 5. You had to take a golf cart to get to the restrooms. In the end they bring you a final check we knew would be a service fee and drink charges. I about hit the floor. For what they charged for drinks I could nicely stock a small bar. Beware of "death by fees". We were charged a fee to rent the dome, a service fee, a credit card fee, a processing fee when we prepaid for the dinner AND and another service fee on the final check which by the way was over the entire bill including the prepaid portion. (In which we already paid a fee) In the end the price for 6 people cost more than an all day trip to Epcot at Disney and would have got better food and drinks there. Anywho for anyone thinking of trying this out I highly recommend you don't. SAVE your money and take your friends or significant other somewhere else !!

    A great concept, beautifully executed, great staff and service however for the price we paid (my…read moregroup didn't have to pay for the dome) the dinner was lackluster, it didn't help that the food came out lukewarm to cold, and our red wine was not only cold but all in our group agreed that it was not a good wine, and while we aren't wine snobs, we are able to recognize good wine from bad. We did order the cheapest bottle, but not an excuse by any means. Prior to the dinner, I tried out their pre-mixed negroni cocktail, and while it was a decent negroni, again the cost associated with it was too over blown. I can have a (better) cocktail at some of Toronto's nicest restaurants for cheaper! I think the event gets caught up in grabbing headlines, with a celebrity chef, none of that matters if the food is below par. I got the fish and it came with tiny bones a plenty too. As I've mentioned above, full marks for the idea, beautiful deco, great service but lacking in the food and drinks department. We did attend on their first week when temperatures were still cold, so warmer temps might have made this experience better with our food and wine not being so cool on arrival.
