Step into Heritage Central Café and prepare to have your taste buds *and* Instagram feed blessed! This cozy hotspot in the heart of Kuching isn’t just a café—it’s a love letter to Sarawak’s culinary heritage, served with a side of modern flair. Very cosy restaurant. The staff were good and friendly. The price and the food selection were good. The taste was decent, and the food presentation is nice.

I had nasi aruk ikan terubuk masin for my first visit to this place. So in brief, my review for food presentation is 4 of 5. For taste and flavour 4 of 5 and cleanliness is 4 of 5. Definately will visit again in the future and try another menu.

I ordered 2 chicken with fried rice and another set, lamb with fried rice thru Grab food. Not only it’s very very delicious but it’s super worth it. The chicken is grilled to perfection n the lamb is also grilled to perfection! Such an offer at RM9.90 including drinks, I can’t find anywhere that offer such a value for money meals. Taste 5/5, value 5/5!

Very very nice and quaint place for a lunch date. Good mix of local & Western-inspired dishes. Great price despite being at the centre of Kuching, with a great great view and ambience. The food was quite good as well. Would recommend.

Found this cafe while we were sightseeing nearby area the other day & came back again the next day because we were interested to dine in at this restaurant. The restaurant ambience was ok, seating area with Padang Merdeka view but the partial area was a bit dark because the dining area is attached to the gift shop & maybe it was closed on that day. The upper hanging light did not turn on & it could be better if they turn it on to make the dining area ambience more attractive. Food & drinks served well. Laksa Sarawak was well presented & delicious. Only got issues with Assam Pedas fish & we already made a complaint & they responded & attended it well. Kudos & thank you to the restaurant team for being responsible on the food issue. Overall this is a good place to dine in.
