Erika Binosa Tucked away inside a pretty hotel, Halia has some of the most delicious, authentic Malaysian food I’ve tried! All three dishes we ordered (curry laksa, shrimp mee + rending (I think)) were delicious. I got a lemon ice tea and it was really tasty too, not too sweet but very flavourful, you can taste the fresh lemon! The staff were really friendly and nice too. If you’re coming here in winter, stay a little further away from the door since it can get a little chilly- that’s all! Great experience. Found it through a food influencer called @samaspeaks_

Yus Ali I had come here yesterday evening for dinner with my partner, I’ll give you a run down of the restaurant and the value for money and quality of food: Price: £9 per person, this allows you to eat as much as you want for around 2hrs. 2/5 stars Service: hardly any service, just main counter where you pay and get a plate with cutlery from. So I would not say much of a service, 1 cleaner who is also taking plates away from tables once you leave. 1/5 stars Food quality: by looking at the food from the outside it looks pretty decent, when we attended the food buffet counter I found some of the food to be warmish and not hot enough, the selection was not massive but had some of the usual things you would find in a Chinese takeaway but missing quite a few basics too. There were also no deserts or fresh fruits which would have probably helped the shops selections. 3/5 stars Overall I can’t give more than 3/5 stars for this place but felt if I could give 2.5/5 stars this would be a better reflection. I probably wouldn’t come back here unless things changed and there were more selection going on considering the amount of food places within a 2 min walk.

Terri Elsberry Horrible Customer Service and Unauthorized Substitution I had an extremely disappointing experience with SteakStones. After ordering the SS002 set, the company emailed me saying it was out of stock and asked if it was okay to replace it with a different product. I replied the same day and clearly stated that I wanted the original item I ordered and did not authorize any replacement. They sent the replacement anyway. From December 30, 2025 through January 7, 2026 I contacted them repeatedly asking how they planned to resolve the issue. Instead of offering a solution, they kept insisting their Terms & Conditions allowed them to substitute my order - even though I had already declined the substitution before it was shipped. When I again asked how they intended to fix the situation, they told me I could return the item to an address in the United Kingdom, with no prepaid label or reasonable option offered. This placed the entire burden of international return shipping on me for an item I never agreed to receive. Under U.S. law, merchandise sent without the recipients consent is considered unsolicited, and the recipient is not obligated to return it or pay for it. I never received the product I paid for. I have already filed a dispute with my credit card company and a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. This is some of the worst customer service Ive ever experienced. I strongly recommend avoiding this company. 1/8/2026 UPDATE: AN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION COMPLAINT SUBMITTED 1/8/2026 as follows: I submitted a 1‑star review to SteakStones.com website on January 7, 2026 after responding to an email the company had previously sent requesting feedback on my purchase. The review successfully posted to their website, and I have a screenshot from early morning on January 8 showing it publicly visible at that time. However, later this morning it had been removed. After receiving an appalling response from SteakStones regarding my review, I saw that it was no longer publicly available. I also have a screenshot documenting its removal. In further support of misleading practices, on Trustpilot—an independent third‑party review platform where consumers can publicly share verified experiences with businesses—I and others have posted unfavorable reviews. On that same platform, it appears the company posted a 5‑star review on their own behalf on December 15, 2025. The review states: “SteakStones does not Trustpilot -- SteakStones use Loox for their reviews as they are a much better company than TrustPilot, who insist that they start any company with 9 3.5 star reviews. Please view all the delighted and authentic customer reviews on our website.” I have a screenshot of this review as well, and I have flagged it to Trustpilot for removal because it appears to be written by an employee or representative of the company, which violates Trustpilot’s policies. SteakStones appears to be selectively deleting unfavorable reviews on their own website while simultaneously attempting to counteract negative feedback on third‑party platforms by posting self‑serving, misleading 5‑star reviews. These actions create a distorted and deceptive impression of customer satisfaction and prevent consumers from accessing honest, balanced information. Because the company actively solicited my review by email, responded negatively to it, removed it, and appears to be manipulating reviews on external platforms, this behavior suggests intentional review suppression and deceptive business practices. I am reporting this because consumers deserve accurate and complete information when evaluating a product, and companies should not be allowed to manipulate public perception by removing legitimate negative reviews and posting misleading positive ones.

Roy Paul Valamkottu "I recently celebrated my first wedding anniversary at Babu-G, and it was a lovely experience. We decided not to go for the buffet and instead ordered dishes that suited our love for spicy food. The food was absolutely amazing, with a delicious taste that exceeded our expectations. My wife and I enjoyed every moment, and it truly made our anniversary special. Thank you for providing such a memorable dining experience!"

Khanh Nguyen What a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The staff are personable and service could not have been better. While the food obviously tasted amazing, my favorite part was seeing how flawless the service was. It was like watching them gracefully dance through the room to a symphony that only they knew, and honestly was beautiful (I might even say moving!) to be a part of that experience as you enjoy the delicious bites. We also opted for the wine pairing and I really appreciated the notes taken to customize my experience/preferences yet still complement my dinner. Would love to come back again!

Jack S Always love to come here - visited today and had pork and celery dumplings and they were great! Recommend the spicy noodles also!
