Naris Cafe

I recently ordered from Naris Café via foodpanda, and it’s one of those café/restaurants that tries to do a little bit of everything well. Their menu spans from Arabic/Nasi Arab dishes (chicken, lamb, even salmon), to Western comfort food like grilled chicken, burgers, pasta, and interesting desserts.  What stands out is that the flavour tends to be solid — people comment that the Nasi Arab and Carbonara are among their favourites. The portion sizes feel fair for what you pay; for example, the “Butter Rice Chicken Crispy” dish gives you a crispy chicken with buttered rice and sides, and most diners feel satisfied.  The dessert selection and beverages are also a plus, especially if you want something sweet after your meal. (They have croffles, kunafa, etc.)  On the other hand, there are a few trade-offs. First, because the menu is wide, there’s a chance some dishes may not hit as strongly as the “signature” ones — sometimes items may arrive lukewarm or flavour doesn’t feel as punchy. Also, pricing is on the mid-to-upper side relative to simple local kopitiams, especially for the premium items (salmon, grilled lamb etc.). The ambience isn’t something I found detailed info on, but as a cafe-style eatery, you might expect casual dining rather than fancy interior.
