Seri Mutiara Restaurant

I ended up eating at Seri Mutiara Restaurant because it was the only place around that let me pay with a card. Usually, I'd give an okayish place like this 3 stars – the food was alright and the service wasn't bad. But man, did it go downhill from there. I got hit with the worst food poisoning ever, spending 6-8 hours throwing up and dealing with diarrhea. It totally wrecked my time in Taman Negara. My advice? Stay away from this place and the hotel that's connected to it. It's just not worth the risk. 0.0001/5 stars.

This restaurant is open to everyone, not just guests from the resort. I paid the 1 RM to cross the river and enjoy nice ambiance without paying resort prices for accommodations. Onto the food, I tried the samosas, the mee mamak noodles, and the chicken sandwich with fries. Every item I ordered was delicious. The portions were generous. If you don’t want to pay so much for food, there are other restaurants across the river, but I enjoyed both meals I had here. I spent between $7-$12 USD per meal and they accept VISA.

The foods we ordered were very bad, rendang lamb from nasi lemak is super sweet, salad very bad taste, pizza crust was so thick which I chose to have the toppings only, so good to have my hubby finished the crust without toppings 🥺 The lime juice supposed to be sour but it’s sweet 😑 We ordered a lamb chop too but the waiter omitted to key in our order. Besides, someone looks like the head there was very rude every time when we asked for our lamb chop. The restaurant was with all Mat Salleh but that’s not the way he should treat customers. Last but not least, their foods are pricey too and definitively can’t survive if it’s in KL 😪

Inside Mutiara hotel. Food ok prices a bit high compare to those on the other side of the river

Much better than the average rating implies. We have been on this side of the river for a few days and especially the dinner is more than OK.. Try preferably the local cuisine, like rendang or satay. They know the Malaysian kitchen well!!

Had only smoothies here. Very good taste, but a bit pricy (15RM each), but because of the location is fully understandable.

Alright food, but generally a bit bland. The buffet is overpriced and so are the drinks, although they were refreshing and nice. The service was also a bit slow and they forgot one of our orders. Would recommend crossing the river for the other floating restaurants instead!

The fresh fruit juice I had was OK but the food, absolutely terrible and overpriced, considering the nice places you can find in the village. Worst Caesar salad I’ve ever had, everything was wrong about it, first of all, bad mayo on top. The location is very nice of course but they really need to change ingredients and possibly, the cook.
