The food is very good. One of our party was a little disappointed that his main course was not as spicy as he had anticipated, but still thoroughly enjoyed it. The manager made very good suggestions as to what is best accompaniment for each dish, he was spot on. The portions are very generous. Two of us couldn't finish and they happily gave us containers to take away the leftovers. Staff were really nice. Our only criticism is the very slow service. For most of our meal there was a group of about 8-10 people and our group of 4. So not busy. However we still enjoyed every bite.

It was a very nice meal. A 4 out of 5 because the Groupon deal isn’t quite as described (or clearly described as we might have missed some small print). The £24 for 2, 2-course meal was as described although as a veggie I had no choice - there was just 1 veggie starter and 1 veggie main course. The meal ‘needed’ a side dish that’s not included, there’s also a 10% non-discretional service charge, plus a £2 a head surcharge for going on a Friday evening (that I could understand if they were busy, but it was more than 1/2 empty). The included glass of wine is basically just a 1/2 glass (v small) and you can’t exchange a non alcoholic juice for a fizzy water. By the time we had finished our 2-course meal with modest drinks was over £45. That’s still not bad, but there’s no need to pitch such a low price that isn’t realistic. Indeed, the £24 for 2 almost put us off for being too cheap. A very friendly experience and tasty dinner, but marred by unnecessary chiselling. PS plastic menus and live candle don’t mix! 😂 (see photo)

As locals to the restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised with the decor and the general feel of the place. We came with the intention of trying out the new burger menu. The menu was a good size with a good amount of options on it. We went for the chilli cheeseburger, Mac mummy burger and chicken burger with sides of garlic skin on fries, skin on fries and tato tots (the owner proudly declaring that they were the only place in Warwickshire that sells them) The food arrived quickly and was presented well, the Burgers were freshly made and the patties were hand made. The meal was very tasty and we all polished off our plates. Very good quality and value for money, we shall definitely be back. On a side note, the owner was very charming and attentive.

Have to say, we purchased a Groupon voucher for two people, two courses. Choice of starter, main or sweet, with a glass of wine each or a soft drink. For what we paid we weren’t expecting too much. But we were very pleasantly surprised. Both starters and mains were hot, very tasty and portion size was more than enough for us. Wine was not too bad either. The chap that served us was attentive and polite, didn’t have to wait too long for each course. Over all, very impressed.

I sat in the restaurant and had Pohpiah Goreng, followed by the Captain's Curry (extra hot), Nasi Limau Kunyit rice and a Roti Canai (bit like a paratha but slightly sweet). I have to say it was absolutely delicious, couldn't fault it. The service is friendly and attentive. I have to add that I was concerned about the poor reviews, but my experience was exemplary. I would highly recommend eating here.

Raffles Malaysian Restaurant is a spectacular place to visit and they serve the most delicious and authentic Malaysian food. I would especially recommend the chicken satay as a starter as it had a unique sweet flavour and full of lemon grass with a fresh peanut sauce. Another amazing dish that I tried out was the Captain's Curry and it was a nice thick coconut based curry and it was simply delightful. You should try out the fantastic range of tasty dishes available at Raffles Restaurant. I will definitely come back during my next business visit with my colleagues to try the other dishes available.

Where do we start…. I don’t think I have been that disappointed in the food and service in a very long time, The starter 4 tiny Pieces of frozen pork & prawn Siu mai advertised and pork and prawn dumplings. Mains: Both curries completely taste like full on Sri Lankan food, lacking any Malaysian authenticity what so ever, clumpy rice ( have videos) frozen parantha ( advertised as Roti chanai. Constant loud Tamil language chat from the kitchen, banging, grinding, drilling with an actual drill manager walking around whistling! While we sat there for 45 mins I seriously would haven’t even eaten here if I was paid too! Best buy was when we were asked to pay for service, when we got 1 second into explaining he called the chef who explained that rice was authentic Malaysian sticky rice .. having been to malaysia 4 times and eaten Malaysian and Asian food many times I’ve never had lumpy, clumped, old basmati rice 🤣 MANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE AVOID ITS A SHAMBLES WILL BE POSTING REVIEWS ON MORE FORUMS

We treated ourselves to a Groupon Malaysian afternoon tea at this little hotel. We were the only ones there. Eventually the prosecco arrived and we enjoyed many traditional and a couple of English treats. Our favourite were the satay, the layers Malay bread and the curry chicken puffs. Then with our hot drinks we enjoyed steamed bao buns with custard filling and macaroons. Hubby had a lovely little pineapple tart but I was full. They let me take rest home. We enjoyed our unusual afternoon tea and would definitely recommend with a Groupon voucher. We did pay the service charge of 10% as on the whole service was ok.

I bought the Groupon deal for my mum for Mother’s Day. The first reservation in April was cancelled, they rang & told me they had a private party so I rearranged for this evening at 6pm. My mum and her partner arrived at 5.30pm to be told they had a private function but could come back at 8.30pm! … Really??? I had no correspondence from them at all about this despite them telling my mum they had emailed me! I have checked my spam etc & have nothing! Needless to say I am requesting a refund. The disappointing thing is my mum said the man at the restaurant didn’t seem bothered at all. Hence why I am writing this now. So thanks for disappointing my mum again & you rubbish communication, I hope Groupon remove you.

My first time leaving a review but for good reason! I would be surprised if our meal was cooked by a chef, a strange combination of under cooked, over cooked, and just odd combinations of ingredients. Sadly now back at the supermarket £30 lighter as the food was genuinely inedible. Prior to ordering my partner advised that she’d heard ‘mixed things’, I thought why not have a gamble, please don’t make the same mistake as me!

I had an issue with a Groupon Voucher which I was unable to use. Although I had booked a table for technical reasons we could not use it on the night. Groupon assured me that if Raffles emailed me to confirm that we had not used the voucher they would issue a replacement. Although in my original email I quoted the Groupon text, Raffles (Kenilworth) have refused to email me to simply confirm that I had not used the voucher on the planned date and that was it - end of story. I like Malaysian food, and have eaten in the 'real' Raffles in Singapore but have no intention of setting foot in this one!

We used a Groupon to visit here - first time, and it was fabulous. The food was great - we chose the curry pasties, and the dim sum - which were superb. We both chose the special spicy chicken curry - again, lovely. We added extras to our meal choosing desserts which were fresh and very good. the one thing that really stood out was the service. impeccable. so attentive, without being overbearing. the waiter even came back to check the temperature of the dicer was ok! 1st class.

I saw Raffles Malaysian on Tripadvisor reviews. It sounded lovely and worth a visit. I asked a local girl on reception at my hotel if it was good. She said it was not and that She would not recommend it. I was in two minds but decided to give it a chance and order a take away. I phoned and was told it would be ready in 30-40 minures. Quite a wait. Down I went. There were two tables occupied with no food on their tables. I was asked to wait in an adjoining lounge. This was empty and obviously unused, quite dingy and tired. After 50 minutes I went back into the restaurant to continue waiting. The same two sets of seated customers where still there. I asked one party if they had had food yet. No was the answer. Obviously a problem in the kitchen. After 60 minutes my take away came out. I was due 15% off on my food but the sole waiter gave me 20%. The food. I had a King Prawn fritter starter and a KP main with rice, a veg side and a roti bread. Everything was awful, hardly edible. The main I had had no KP's but what I think was a soft, gooey tofu. The rice was congealed. The whole meal was unappetising. I binned most of everything. Probably the worst take away I have EVER had. Do yourself a favour and avoid Raffles Malaysian in Kenilworth. I wish I had!

Having made a special visit to Kenilworth on Wednesday in the hopes to talk to someone in the restaurant about menu options for vegans and also a two night stay in the hotel, I was disappointed to find no one anywhere in the hotel. No one on reception, no one in any of the rooms I was able to walk through. I did call out loudly but no response. Not a good start. I did however see a menu and find extensive choice for vegans. I decided to take a chance and I booked a Groupon deal for a meal for two, and phoned this evening to book a table. I was told that they could not serve me any vegan options as they limit their menu for Groupon deals. This makes no sense as the vegan options were cheaper/same price as all other options. The man rudely said he can do nothing and hung up before I had finished talking. I have requested a refund from Groupon and will not come to this restaurant now on principal alone.

Never having been to a Malaysian restaurant before, we weren't sure what to expect. However, it was a delightful experience. The food was excellent - the Rendang daging (Beef rendang) was particularly good - and we liked the table d'hote pricing: one could have one, two, three or four courses for set prices. Service was first class: the service charge was automatically added on to the bill, but we gave extra because of that service. Overall, we'd encourage anyone to try Raffles.

I had the Murtabak starter which was described as “crispy”... it wasn’t but it was very tasty. My husband had Tim Sum which he declared were excellent. My second course was Udang Baker Kering ..succulent jumbo prawns. Our mains were Pepper Lamb and the Captain’s Curry... all highly recommended. The Singapore Sling cocktails went down well also. Service was excellent and the staff were eager to please and attentive even when a party of 40 arrived for their special buffet.

All of our party enjoyed the food and we will definitely revisit. It is so nice to visit a restaurant which serves such tasty dishes. Service was excellent and servers were very attentive. They do put a service charge on the bill so beware of this. We asked them to remove it which they did with no quibbles. We prefer just to leave a tip rather than pay a service charge as you are never too sure if the servers benefit from this additional charge.

The Raffles Experience is great value with a Singapore sling, 1/2 bottle of wine and 4 courses plus coffee for less than 40 quid. Worth the extra 5 minute walk for a an alternative spice hit the Indian places in town.

Great restaurant inside the hotel. Excellent food, staff and service. Hidden gem which we are so glad we found. Will be revisiting in the very near future. Prices are very good value for the high standard of food. Can highly recommend. Car park at rear.

Lack of music and ambient sound means you’ll have to be on a table of great conversationalists OR be prepared to listen to conversations at other tables. If you want great ambience or a social atmosphere then this is not the place for you. If you want great food, attentive service and value for money, then this is pretty much perfect!

Food and service to a very high standard. We have been going to Raffles (and Coconut Lagoon) regularly since it opened and they were always very busy, lunch and evening serving food to a very high standard. We have now been twice in four months and the place has been empty, but still high quality food and service. We must not lose this establishment!

Having spent 6 weeks working in Malaysia in 2016 and falling in love with the food, I was very keen to try the restaurant. Having raved to my family about Malaysian food and trying to emulate some recipes at home, I was happy that they would finally get to try the real thing. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The satay chicken skewers were very dry. The beef rending was good, the nasi goreng was quite disappointing too. The nasi goreng’s that I had in KL and Penang , and the recipes I have made at home had fried egg on top but the one from this restaurant had omelette on it, which I felt took away from it a bit. The meal was expensive for what it is, and my family weren’t very impressed. Our few days away were planned around visiting the restaurant, which unfortunately I feel was a mistake.

Very good food and excellent friendly service just a bit too quiet for a Saturday night.

Visited with family. Charged almost £20 per person for 2 course meal and got tiny portions of basic, uninspired food. Charged 10% service charge for the trouble. Will not be returning

We had previously often visited the Raffles when it was on the High Street so we decided to try the and ew version. We found the variety much reduced, but we still managed to find options we liked, even for my husbands no carbohydrate diabetic diet. The only issue was that on a Monday night, there were few dinners and there was a big gap between the starter and the main while the chef took his break. Overall good value for money and with a limited but interesting menu.

Our first visit since it moved to its current location. Food as good and interesting as ever and we'll furnished and decorated. BUT what has gone wrong.....Raffles always used to be really busy and buzzing...but it was virtually empty and consequently a bit glum Let us hope this was an unlucky night

A return visit to Raffles for us and pleased to say that the quality of the dining experience was just as good as previous visits. Authentic and tasty Malaysian food and great service too.

Not just Karak Chai aka Strong tea, there are a host of things served. Hot chocolate is also good. You can also feast on appetizers and light meals. The ambience is quite good.

Exceptional tasting food and great service, would highly recommend this restaurant for experiencing Indian cuisine. Book prior to visiting the restaurant as it is packed.
