What recent reviews say

Kedai Kopi Dulu Dulu draws repeat visitors for its fragrant nasi lemak, well-balanced sambal, and strong kopi ais. The kitchen handles soups and braised meats with care. Weekend crowds slow service, and feedback on owner-staff interactions is split: some praise friendliness, others report sharp tones when seating rules are breached. Takeaway is restricted on weekends.
