Bar.Kar KL Restaurant - Best Restaurant In KL

Decor is tasteful and classy, but the ambiance is not. Seated at the chef’s table, guests can constantly hear kitchen crew taking and replying to instructions on their ear pieces - many occasions on trying to get guests to leave at scheduled times. The open kitchen is depressing to watch, with a tense atmosphere. Suggestions and feedback were met with "yes, but" responses. Food was rather disappointing. All the proteins ordered were not fresh, from the uni, oyster and scallops, to the beef char siew. Only the musk melon and asparagus dishes were good. Servers do not have the polish nor the attentiveness expected of a fine dining restaurant. The restaurant leaves much to be desired.

Came for a good experience and was definitely not disappointed. Deep, our server was friendly and very knowledgable. Explained everything so well. The chefs are made up of a group young men - so happy to see them putting their talent to good use! Benjamin is a good recommender who offered us a special taste….so thank you. KUDOS to the BAR KAR team. Well done!

We sat at the open fire table for my dads birthday dinner, food was delicious and came quickly, drinks took a while but they gave us a free dish to compensate, one minor thing was the kitchen expeditor was so pissed since the start and he kept cursing and we had to watch him curse and be mad which was giving negative vibes, but also entertaining at the same time. The service was good, but not the best. For a restaurant recommended by the Michelin guide , I did expect better. People go to restaurants to be taken care of, to be greeted with smiles and good chatter, unfortunately we didn’t have much of that from the staff. They were very serious the whole time and were focused on just making and serving the food ,in our eyes at least. Other than that my family had a lovely time.

The food and service were spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed uni toast, 21 DAYS AGED BBQ ANGUS SHORT RIB, Berg rice, and grilled squid. The tastes were wonderful and we savoured every bite. It was a lovely experience to celebrate my birthday here with my family. The service was amazing as well. Would love to return with friends and family!

Overall, my dining experience at Barkar was pleasant. The food was tasty and of good quality, though not particularly impressive. The service could be improved, as the staff’s explanation of the dishes was not very clear. However, the atmosphere was fantastic – I really loved the restaurant’s design and overall vibe.

Such a beautiful restaurant with a great ambiance! Noor was very professional in explaining all the dishes, and his service made the evening even more special. I’ll definitely recommend this place to my friends. My girlfriend was so happy celebrating her birthday dinner here.

Great foods with slight hint of Malaysian cuisine. Steaks were lovely, I loved the clay pot rice and Uni toast! Our servers were Jervee and Kate, we had great lunch experiences. Thank you so much
