This cafe has been on my list for a while, mainly for its beautiful strawberry cake which didn’t disappoint. I would love to try their other cakes too, like the pistachio raspberry and mango pomelo. Their food was surprisingly pretty delicious too. We tried their bestseller - salmon mentai pizza, and the unagi kabayaki don. If you are feeling more adventurous, you could go for their fusion fare like rendang chicken don or Sichuan mala beef pizza. Overall, it’s a cosy cafe with chill vibes - perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying some family time.

Dropped by Arest Café Damansara with a few friends to hang out, and we’re so glad we did! The place looked like a great spot to chitchat and relax, and it truly was. The environment is cozy, and the seating is super comfortable!!!! perfect for spending quality time with friends. We tried their Strawberry Fine Cake and wow !!!one bite was all it took. It was incredibly soft, light, and gone in seconds ....seriously, what an experience! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out. You might just find your new favorite hangout spot.

The food here was quite good, with portions that were reasonably satisfying. Prices leaned a little on the higher side, but not unreasonable. The environment is inviting and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to dine. One thing to note, though—if you’re seated upstairs, the service can be less attentive compared to the ground floor

Originally, I was going to try the black sesame cake, but it was sold out, so I temporarily changed my mind and tried the chocolate cake. It was unexpectedly good. The chocolate was very rich and slightly bitter, not very sweet, but maybe the cake had been in the refrigerator for a long time, and it was a little dry and not very moist. The black truffle pizza amazes me. It is delicious and the crust is thin. Environment is also very relaxed. I will visit again next time.

A relatively new outlet in Damansara Uptown. Cafe nicely decorated but tables are quite limited. A little difficult to make booking as was told they were fully booked for lunch on a Sunday and requested that we walk in. After some pressing, they accepted our booking for 4 pax. Service is good and fast. Food is hit and miss. We loved the thin crust pizza. The pasta was good but the mala chicken noodles was way too spicy despite our request to make it less spicy. The shark meat Don was not nice as the shark meat was obviously frozen and not fresh. The assam pedas wasn't great too. The cakes looks good but we only tried the mochi as the rest was too heavy for us after lunch. Parking is always a challenge around uptown so it's best to park at Starling Mall and walk over. Update Came back in Sep25. Ordered the rice bowl and fish & chips. Food was better than the first time. Wanted to order the mochi dessert but unfortunately was sold out.

The restaurant has a pleasant ambience with good music and vibe. The Salmon Mentai pizza was tasty & crunchy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I requested to switch tables when other guests left, and they were happy to assist. One staff noticed I looked a bit hot & messy after the spicy Mala noodle and kindly offered water, really a thoughtful and warm gesture. The cake was decent, though I felt it was a bit overpriced.
