What Antoinette Schaden doesn't like about Chahaya Malaysia:
We were a party of for lunch. The consensus was: The buffet was very limited, the soup almost inedible tooooo spicy. The buffet consisted of a mediocre chicken curry, steamed vegetables, boiled rice, a lentil and beef curry, vegetarian spring rolls and Shrimp...puffs! View all feedback. What Mauricio Kessler likes about Chahaya Malaysia:
If you want vegetarian, this place has an array of excellent choices. The vegetarian menu has close to 20 options. If you want an item from the main menu served as vegetarian, they will accommodate you if it is feasable. The food is very tasty,...the service good and the prices more than reasonnable.

Had really high hopes for this place and all of the dishes were either too salty or over spiced. Beef rendang was like a spicy paste and was barely edible. Roti...
