"Food is amazing as always. What they should consider to improve is during peak hour (lunch) as the line is long and they only have 2 staff. Should add number of staff during peak hour as the long is getting longer each minute."

"Saya sangat berpuas hati setiap kali makan di Bumbu Babah Melawati Mall. Makanan sentiasa sedap, freshly served dan portion pun memang berbaloi. Suasana restoran pun selesa, rasa tenang je bila makan di sini. Saya juga nak puji salah seorang cashier, mungkin nama dia mikail sebab saya dengar staf sebut nama tu (abang hitam manis yang pakai cap terbalik). Servis dia memang terbaik ! Sangat ramah, mesra, cepat buat kerja and sentiasa senyum. Sikap dia buatkan pengalaman makan dekat sini rasa lebih welcoming and menyenangkan. Staff macam ni memang susah nak jumpa sekarang, sebab kebanyakkan nya cashier sekarang muka bengis and always moody. Terima kasih Bumbu Babah kerana kekalkan servis yang bagus. Terima kasih juga pada cashier mikail yang friendly tu, keep being awesome !"

"I visited Bumbu Babah at Foodcourt Melawati Mall yesterday for iftar with a friend. We had notified the staff about our arrival time (around 7 PM), but we arrived a little earlier, around 6 PM. Unfortunately, our food was served well before we arrived, and by the time we picked up the food at the counter, it was no longer warm, which was disappointing. That said, the overall taste of the food was still good, so I can't fault the quality too much. The price range offered is affordable. The portion of the food also quite good. However, I was a bit let down by the timing of the service, as it impacted the enjoyment of the meal. Hopefully, this can be better managed in the future for a more pleasant dining experience."
