Very good food, the specialty is pork (El Cerdo means The Pig ) but they have beef as well . Pork steak , ribs and Spanish starters are quite good. Go for the 128 ringgit wine , you won’t be disappointed

Food was good. Pork knuckle came with sauerkraut , salad , and "dumplings ". Brown sauce and the memorable apple sauce???? service was superb, which includes the valet. Def coming back for more ????

Me and my wife had the "crispy pork knuckles " and could not finish it (was a very tasty, but big portion ). Staff was friendly and always smiling. The pictures on the wall were funny.

Too bad I was full upon arrival - everything looks and smells amazing! I had the spaetzle with ham & cheese and werner's special - both great! The bartender also obliged with a gin dirty martini !

The piglet and pork shoulder are the best I tried!!! Must try for 1st timer. Appetizer are awesome too especially bacon and mushroom soup ~

Roman Sidoroff

Tortilla de patata and janon was good. Ribs were a bit too fat for me. Comparing with complexity of food and prices in Spain, verybexpensive. I paid the same price in authentic japanese resto in Kuala

Delicious oyster Kirkpatrick and the slow braised pork knuckles . Definitely coming back for suckling pig and the rest. Dessert of chocolate dream is the bomb! Excellent service from Jason and James!

리야 아레바로

the ambience is perfect... the staff are very nice! enjoyed the superb food esp. the roasted suckling piglet, and most of all, thrilled to have performed the plate-breaking activity :)

It's well known for the pork dishes . Apparently their Spanish whole roasted baby lamb leg is awesome too!! Juicy meat with minimal "lamb smell". Fantastic!

Alexander Johan

The small ritual (history of the pig and plate breaking) was added some extra atmosphere to the existing great food. 4 thumbs up(incl.toes????)

Babi place for pork lovers! Big portion so sharing is the way to go. Delicious marinated ribs & piglet!

Angeline Yu Tong

Suckling pig ! So crispy at the outside and so tender on the inside. Archie is the best server! Overall it was a great dining experience.

Amazing pork-y dishes, and super prompt service . Loved the plate breaking ritual... definitely added a dash of entertainment whilst dining in a group!

Food, service and ambience is great and impeccable. Must order: suckling pig , seafood spaghetti , iberico ribs and cold cuts . Suckling pig abit oily and fatty tho..

Matthew Ethan Lee

Food is excellent and service staff is good. However lunch serving time is a little long as they says it's under staff during lunch

Mike Tan

Green salsa Iberico baby back ribs was a little underwhelming. The sauce tasted good, but the ribs were chewy. But maybe I’m too used to meaty “off-the-bone” ribs ????

Karen
