Pineapple grill is lovely. Anyhow cleanliness of this place should be improved. Chairs and tables are not properly cleaned as bread crumbs and food from previous customers were still covering the chairs (I wiped it myself). During covid time it should be wiped with disinfectant solutions. Floor were oily. Felt slippery when walking on the floor (wearing normal sneakers). Please clean the floor regularly. With this price (RM80+ per pax) ...it should be cleaner.

Delicious and wonderful as ever.. Covid-19 SOP in place. Dine in allowed for fully viccinated customers who have taken two jabs of the viccination.

Better than hotel buffet. All meat cooked really well. Lots of side menus as well.- 1 point cause have to order drinks separate. Should at least have some basic free flow drinks for free

We had a double birthday celebration for my youngest son, and my daughter in law, and they suggested this venue...it turned out to be a great choice, as the experience here was amazing! There were a lot of patrons, as the meat buffet dinner was an excellent idea for iftar, the only setback was, everybody wants to eat at the same time...but, luckily the Covid SoP was thoroughly observed, and the staffs did serve the variety of veals and meatloafs directly at our tables, so we felt quite comfortable and convenient, without having to move about too much...I especially enjoyed the barbequed duck, lamb and seafood combo, while the children tasted a bit too much of everything!! We even had our melted ice cream cake, and some good news to share among our family members..I would highly recommend this steakhouse to all my friends!!!😋😋😋👍👍👍😊😊😊

The dining tables were arranged around the see through BBQ kitchen. The ambiance was relaxing. The staff were friendly and were prompt with the unlimited BBQ servings. They offer fresh BBQ meats for their buffet lunch such as beef sirloin, beef medallion, lamb chops, smoked duck, smoked fish, chicken wings, bbq squids etc. The BBQ pineapple was excellent. They will entertain guests with special request for their favourite meats. The buffet spread has fried rice, noodles, spaghetti, stir fry vegetables, potato wedges, soups, salads, breads, with desserts such as fresh fruits, ice cream, cakes, etc. The good range of food servings will surely keep any diner fully satisfied.

We ordered from the alacarte menu. The steak is the best I had in KL. Everything about this restaurant is great except for the fact that theres a huge smoke cloud inside the restaurant, and the waiters were not so attentive. Overall everything else is great.

Buffet cost RM129++ and it does not include drinks so do take note. Meats were delicious however some of the meat item were cold and some of them were hot from the fire 🔥 The Smoked Duck, Black Pepper Beef and Cheese beef were my favourites.

My colleagues invited me to have dinner at Samba. They painted a very beautiful picture of different type of steaks at Samba. I went with a lot of expectations. Different variety of fish, rice, beef and salad are on available. The steak was supposed to be the high point take some time to reach you. So you have to wait and droll. Not all servings were tender and juicy. My personal opinion is that Samba is over priced. And they should increase the size and speed of servings.

I really like the service. Especially the cooks who were serving the meats to your table. Foods are generally good and taste as it should but some meat menus is overcooked and dry. Some were nicely grilled such as the ribs and the ducks. With the price tag as pricey as that, they should be more careful with the meats. The dining area is clean and comfortable with much space. Toilet is outside the steakhouse at around 20 meters. Shashimi, aushi feels fresh. Seafood also meet the croteria. They also offers quite a variety of dessert.

We had the lunch buffet for 2 on a public holiday. There was a good spread over the buffet, the highlight was of course the meat selection and they all tasted great! Dessert selection was okay. However, smoked duck breast was listed as one of the choices but when we asked it was not available that day. Since we’re paying the full price for the buffet, I was a little upset that it was not available as i was particularly looking forward to that.They bring the meat selection straight to your table which is great because its fresh n warm, and tasted delicious. But towards the end, there was a break of 15-20minutes of waiting time before an item was brought out, until we asked them for more. They responded well and served us when we asked.Overall it was a great meal with a few hiccups.

At the early time when I visited the restaurant, they served me the BBQ meats which were the left over from the afternoon. The left over BBQ meats were dry and very salty. After a few round of the left over BBQ meats, I was served with freshly grilled or BBQ meats. The BBQ duck meats and the BBQ pineapples were great. I will visit this restaurant again not at 6.00 p.m., maybe 8.00 p.m. in very near future because I can have all the freshly grilled and BBQ meats after 8.00 p.m. which I had experienced. Oysters must be cleaned properly or change a supplier. Anyway, overall experience was something worth to explore yet, not the best BBQ so far in Malaysia. There are rooms for improvement.

Had the lunch buffet at RM69++, it includes 6 types of meats: sirloin, black pepper beef, chicken wings, dory fish, chicken sausage and duck breast. Besides, there are 40 types of dishes: clam, broccoli 🥦, brazilian food, salad 🥗, dessert, fruits, and etc.All 6 meats taste good, and i like the black pepper beef and chicken wings the most 👍😋But I’m disappointed with the mushroom soup and dessert. The soup has very strong of black pepper taste, cause no taste for mushroom. While the dessert is not attractive and for the jelly dessert, it is hard.Also, there is no sashimi and oyster served during lunch buffet.

We went for a la carte meals. Really enjoyed the ribeye steak. They got it cooked perfectly medium, very tender and very tasty. The beef short ribs were also excellent. These were also extremely tasty. The short ribs were also more flavourful and slightly fattier. The lamb rack was a little on the tough side, but I was pleasantly surprised there was mint sauce. Enjoyed the fries and mashed potatoes most out of all the sides.Service was extremely attentive and kind.

This is a Brazilian style barbecue buffet. It is located in the fourth floor of Avenue K shopping mall. They offer five different type of meat.The duck meat was soft and tasty. The salad bar has very good vareities and decent selection of dressing. The main course section was also great and tasty.  soft drink is included in the price. Normal prices, Fridays to Sundays 119 rm. for other days its 95 rm. The ambience is nice and there is a section for smookers over looking the street. You can make a reservation,but during weekdays you dont need to if you cant as the place is nearly empty. Highly recommended

Always wanted to try here. The food was okay, nothing too special. The servers were nice to accommodate with most requests quite quickly. Except for the server who was in charge of drinks, he seems pretty fed up and tired so our drinks came late. In the end I dislike the concept of servers coming to our table with different meats. We came as a group and they didn’t share a menu so I didn’t know what meat were being served. I became full from “waiting” for them to bring out each meat. The concept is not for me

First time having steak and grill buffet, superb delicious, they make it medium rare as per my preferrence. The best is pepper beef!

I gave 2 stars because we were seated at the balcony area and it had a nice view of the four seasons and klcc. Everything else is a disappointment.If youre a meat lover and love this type of cuisine, please dont waste your precious RM120++ per pax here, instead go to Carnaval in Damansara Jaya (near Atria mall).1. Much smaller (hence better and faster rotation of the meat)2. Much cheaper (rm95 per pax, and even have light eater price option)3. And most importantly, way better tasting meat and pineapple! (honestly!)

Good food. The place offers Buffett as well as Ala carte. The overall environment is good and fancy and in reasonable prices. We were lucky to go really late at the closing hours and as a result they gave us a seating not in the main restaurant hall but outside in the balcony area which we like the most as in the background you could see the Suria KLCc and Petronas towers. We ordered chicken chop which was really delicious and they also offered complementary soup and bread which was too good. A must go place if you are tired of fast food chains and looking for one fancy dinner.

It was great!Plan to dine one buffet n one ala carte, but the ala carte price is about the buffet price.Buffet is RM70 (weekdays with 6 types meats offer)Ala carte cheapest is RM30 for chicken grillAla carte meats around RM60++Buffet for weekend is RM129 with 15 types meats offerOther than meats offer, the buffet is worth too. A lot of options you can choose from. Desserts also nice. Just prepare empty stomach so u can taste n fit allIts worth it! 😋😋

The lunch set is pretty cheap. We cannot finish it. For RM28 you can get an actual steak cut, with your grill level preferences. The additional drink will cost you more though. I was charged RM10 for an iced lemon tea. Can opt to warm water if you dont want to spend another 10 bucks for fancy drink: it is free!

Review №81

Disappointed with the lunch buffet spread and taste of the meat. Sirloin steak wasnt seasoned enough though the done-ness was spot on. Duck breast was too salty for me. Black pepper beef was a little chewy and was slightly below average and slightly overcooked in my opinion. Grilled dory was overcooked and dry.The chicken sausage, grilled pineapple with cinnamon and chili squid were the stars of the day. Very disappointed there wasnt free flow of drinks. I wouldnt mind even if it was just free flow plain water knowing that grilled food makes you thirsty. Other than that, nothing to shout about. Will probably return.

Super amazing fresh bbq buffet!! How it works is servers will go from table to table with freshly barbecued meats and you can tell them what/how much you want. The meat ranges from beef, chicken, fish, and even grilled pineapple. Yummy!! The servers are super friendly. The buffet spread is also very wide and everything tastes amazing. Ambience is great. Definitely coming back here during my next trip to KL!!Tip: I highly recommend the char siew barbecued chicken and grilled pineapple. You get free-flow soft drinks, but Id recommend not drinking too much so you have more space for food ;)

Its a little pricey where at times the buffet price does not include drinks which is a bummer. Staff are nice but they always seem overworked. Very nice of them to give me a free cake to celebrate my wedding day though! That made all us happy and thanks to the cashier lady who got patient with me when my grabpay kept failing.They serve oyster which is a favourite for a lot of us! Some Japanese dishes are there as well including salmon. The meat dishes are okay, I especially liked the prawn. The rest of them, seems to be grilled until they were kinda dry.
