Had a wonderful vegetarian lunch here. Rice with jackfruit curry, large slab of chilli tofu and some sauted cucumber. All served with a lemon water. Staff were very helpful identifying the vegetarian dishes on offer. Bargain at MYR 10.

I absolutely loved my food experience at Alaf's Cafe. The owner was so kind, joyful and helpful. He was patient in taking me through the dishes and explaining each one. I tried a bunch of different curries and hoped to go back and try more but unfortunately ran out of time. I would've love to try the hottest fish curries and BBQs too. For now, I had most if not all of the vegetarian dishes, some fish curry, soy chicken and spicy squid. The food taste was excellent. I would highly recommend this stop to anyone who loves malay cuisine or who would like to try the different local dishes.

Alaf Sejahtera Cafe serve authentic Malay food. There are many dishes but I go simple today with my favourite curry chicken and ocra. (bendi) or so called ladies finger. Pricing very reasonable. Car park just in front of cafe at roadside. Looking at the volume of food they sell demonstrates that their business is very good. The crowd keep coming now.
