A family-run cake and noodle cafe in SS 2 with strong praise for carrot cake, cheesecake, and housemade pan mee at low prices. The space gets hot and lacks air-con, which limits comfortable lingering, though staff earn consistent compliments.

Kafe Ruuma @ 3 Damansara

4.0(210)✓ Verified

Kafe Ruuma draws regulars for its nasi lemak ayam and spacious food-court setting within NSK Kota Damansara and 3 Damansara malls, with fried chicken praised as better than fast-food chains. Staff behaviour remains the pivot point: several reviewers report rudeness and inattentiveness, while others praise friendliness. Food execution gaps-drumsticks with hollow meat, raw vegetables, missed special requests-undercut what reviewers recognise as decent value. Wait times of 15-20 minutes even during quiet hours frustrate diners seeking quick bites. Coffee and drinks score consistently low for quality. The kafe presents as an acceptable resting spot for mall shoppers wanting Malaysian comfort food without high expectations. Nasi lemak at RM 6.90-7.80 and parking advantages (RM 1 for 3 hours on weekdays) appeal to regulars. Service tax added to displayed prices and an unwillingness to adjust sweetness levels on drinks irk cost-conscious and fussy customers. Recent one-star ratings cite staff attitude as the main reason for not returning.
