Oct2022. I had breakfast buffet here as it was included in our stay at Doubletree Melaka. The food was OK and there was the coffee made on the spot by their staff on trolley that came to our table. We could choose among a few...types. They have the whole range of foods, ie. Western, Chinese, Malay & Indian. I did enjoy my breakfast there. FrancisTLim.More

Thank you very much to all the service crew at Makan Kitchen from the reception to the chefs at the various stations for their amicable service. The service crew were quick to clear the tables for a clean dining experience. I would like to offer...my kindest compliments to Mr Fazzuan for making my mother and mine for the very warm welcome at Makan Kitchen as he is extremely friendly and attentive to us and also to other guests in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection of food and we enjoyed the quality and the selections of it.More

I was truly impressed by this restaurant. Enjoyed the breakfast particularly. The scrambled eggs were done in the way I like best and the Streaky Beef was yummy. Oh, and the Teh Tarik was delish! The one that elevated our experience was Mr Zabli. That...smile ... he always attended to us cheerfully and was preemptive of our needs. He should be given a medal!

I celebrated my birthday yesterday at Makan Kitchen with family and friends yesterday evening 2 August 2019. Party of 8. Grace of Makan Kitchen organised a wonderful table with a great view for me and a free birthday cake and gave me a good discount....The evening International Buffet was delicious with plenty of variety including my favourites: Oysters, grilled King prawns & quail,and sushi.Grace told the chef that I liked butter cake and icing so he make a beautiful and delicious cake for me. The service from the staff was wonderful and the restaurant had a nice ambience. Thank you Grace, the chef and all the staff for your wonderful service. My guests and I really enjoyed ourselves at your restaurant. Most had not been to this restaurant before and they were very impressed with the restaurant and the food. If anyone is celebrating their birthdays, ask for Grace to help organise things for you.More

limited range for breakfast buffet. For the price of RM60 per pax, there are obviously better options around in Melaka town. Service was also not on par with proper hotel dining outlets. Staff not attentive enough to look out for customer needs. Stand at unammed...noodle counter for 5 mins, before someone walked to me. Should make it a self serve counter, if you dont have enough staff to man it.More
