Why Travelers Love PINWHEEL RESTO
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Here's what we tried: Rosemary Grilled Chicken, Butter Milk (Chicken Poppers), White Hazelnut Cake, Lemonade, and a Matcha Gula Melaka Latte. With limited seating, we were lucky to be accommodated. If you're visiting with more than 2 pax, it's recommended to make a reservation beforehand. Taste-wise, it was unique and not your typical Western flavor. Portion-wise, it was decent, but I wish it had been bigger. The service staff were very attentive, but the price was a bit expensive." Found this place through a random google search. Wanted to start the day with good coffee and an instagram-able cafe and Pinwheel turned out perfect! Wonderful food in generous portions and exceptional drinks with extensive options. Service was excellent with timely attention given. Recommend for anyone who’s into cafe hopping and who’d enjoy a good cuppa! Shout out to the Nutella teh Tarik that left a deep impression! Halal Cafe for Muslim patrons 😃 Great restaurant with great food! Tried their seafood tomyum and black pepper salmon pasta! Highly recommend these 2 mains! Their mushroom soup with garlic bread taste sooooo good! Got myself a Matcha Latte, it taste perfect! Last night got myself Fish and Chips from Grabfood app, it was nicely packed and the portion of the fish was satisfying for the price.
