My husband and I are based in London, but we recently organised our wedding dinner in Malaysia (where most of my family is based). We initially went to Saujana to look at other restaurants and venues for the dinner, but we chanced upon the Charcoal...Grill Restaurant right before we left and immediately fell in love with the cosy and casual (but classy) setting of the restaurant. We met with the restaurant manager, Mr Mahesan, who was incredibly organised and helpful from the minute we met him. We only met him twice before the wedding - the first time on the day we went to visit Saujana and the second time a week before the dinner and him and his team pulled off the organisation of the wedding perfectly! The venue accommodates 150 people indoors comfortably and the dinner service (buffet) was priced very reasonably and included dishes like fresh prawns and oysters, sashimi, a variety of local dishes (including a full dessert spread). The service was impeccable and everyone was always within reach of a member of staff who provided service with a smile (no matter how late it got). Although there was a bit of a line when the guests went to get their food for the first time, the staff managed to organise the guests and get the line moving efficiently throughout the night. Everyone was so busy talking to each other in the line, the wait was completely bearable. Everything from the stage and backdrop to the mic and speakers were provided by the restaurant. I had my wedding playlist downloaded on my phone and planned to plug it in to the sound system that night but completely forgot about the iPhone audio jack adapter and was panicking about it 30 mins before the start of the dinner, but within 5 minutes of letting Mahesan know about this, he managed to borrow one off his colleague for the rest of the night just for us! We received so many compliments from the guests about the food and venue (my husband and I were so pleased about this because the buffet dinner concept was very different to the conventional sit-down Chinese wedding dinner), but everything went so smoothly. My husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing during the entire dinner and it was all thanks to the amazing service provided by Mahesan and his team at Charcoal Restaurant, Saujana Hotel. 100% would recommend to anyone who wants a low fuss yet super classy wedding dinner in Malaysia! To the team: Thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts for handling all this so beautifully for us!!More

I've dine in with friends whom staying in Saujana hotel for today breakfast. The buffet breakfast spread was really good and fantastic. It was my second time of dining here. Together with all staff was very polite and make me very comfortable. I would like...to HIGHLIGHT one thing which i don't like at all was, service been given by one of your staff named Linda (correct me if I'm wrong). Which was completely unprofessional and rude with other guest! Not even a smile and pointing or directing the guest via pointing finger!. I'm not so sure of what kind of service standard was that! Such attitudes and behavioural will impact your restaurants reputation. Thanks.More

Had the BBQ buffet on Saturday. The satay was heavenly and they had loads of meat and even sashimi. However, if you’re not a big fan of meat in every serving, skip it. Would recommend the restaurant to put in more variety of BBQ items...such as maybe Japanese style chicken innards and fish, dimsum with BBQ meat, pasta with smoked duck/beef perhaps? Couldn’t really see certain dishes like satay or ice cream servings as lighting at the buffet spread was dim. On the other hand, the service was excellent! Booked a quiet and romantic table a month beforehand and it was awesomely fulfilled. Thank you Subra and Mahesan for the great service! Would definitely try out the other theme buffet nights!More
