The food was pretty solid, however the staff was being very rude. I ordered a curry rice set with extra rice. I told the staff that the rice was a bit dry as the curry sauce given was a little too less, and tried to ask if they could provide a bit more sauce to balance it out. She rolled her eyes at me while frowning, telling me that the curry sauce was finished. It's 3 PM in the afternoon and she said it's FINISHED?? If she had said it nicely and with a better tone, I probably wouldn't have written this review. If it was chargeable, I wouldn't mind paying it as the food was really pretty good. Instead, she told me FINISHED, NO COOK. I think management needs to take a closer look into their staff's attitude before they start to ruin the brand itself.

The chicken was raw, and they also forgot to include chicken in the curry chicken meal, which I had to request.

I bought the mee rebus chicken classic, but it came without the shredded chicken. The meatball was hidden below the noodles. All previous times I bought it, the shredded chicken and meatballs were on top of the noodles.
I complained to the staff via WhatsApp, and they claimed it was not supposed to come with shredded chicken. However, the menu clearly showed it was supposed to come with shredded chicken when I ordered it that day. After my complaint, they apparently used a sticker to cover the shredded chicken part on the menu. This is very dishonest business practice. They charge a premium price but then lie to customers and don't even bother replying to complaints.
From other users' reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who experienced this issue. This will be the last time I buy from this brand, and I will definitely not be recommending anyone to try it.

freaking disappointed given buzzer and waited for 20min yet food still not served, when we approach
Freaking disappointed. We were given a buzzer and waited for 20 minutes yet our food was still not served. When we approached the counter, the staff just realized and started to prepare the food right away. The food tasted awful, not to mention their advertisement of Michelin Guide food.

Not the first time I've received over-charred/burnt chicken, but it's certainly the first time it's been rubbery and slightly raw inside.

A decent option for those looking for Halal food in Tengah. The food quality is consistent with their other outlets I've patronised. I would prefer to request no sambal if ordering a set where sambal is already slathered on the chicken.

The nasi lemak here is absolutely amazing! The rice is perfectly fragrant with coconut aroma, soft, and fluffy. The sambal has just the right balance of sweetness and spiciness, giving every bite a kick without overpowering the dish. The crispy anchovies and roasted peanuts add a nice crunch, and the perfectly cooked egg ties everything together. A truly authentic and satisfying nasi lemak that feels homemade with love. Highly recommended for breakfast or any time of the day!

If you’re a fan of Nasi Lemak, Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang at Tengah is a culinary delight that you simply cannot miss. Touted as “The World’s First Michelin-Rated Nasi Lemak Hawker,” this place truly lives up to its reputation.
The signature Ayam Taliwang is the highlight—perfectly grilled chicken that’s tender, smoky, and infused with bold, spicy flavors. Paired with their fragrant coconut rice, sambal that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy, and crispy ikan bilis, every bite is a burst of flavor.
I was also impressed by the variety on their menu, offering something for everyone—from classic Nasi Lemak options to indulgent modern twists. Their attention to detail and quality ingredients set them apart from the rest.
The service was prompt and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. With its well-earned Michelin accolades, this spot at Tengah is a must-visit for any foodie craving an authentic and elevated Nasi Lemak experience. Highly recommended!
