I had my husbands 30th birthday celebration here. I’m so glad I discovered Drift in the nick of time. Manager Mel was super helpful arranging everything and the chef came up with a great menu. Not to mention the staff attending to us in the Privi room, who were super helpful!

“Awesome Food and Service”
Great menu. Steak, lamb shank, béarnaise with wasabi — a touch of brilliance. Chat potatoes — truly wow. Baby back pork ribs — succulent and full of flavour. This is a must try. Service friendly and efficient…..wine list on par.

“Drift in you won’t be disappointed”
Strongly recommend paying a visit to this lovely restaurant. It was recommended to us and we are very pleased we took the advice. Nice location, understated interior that works well and sets the ambience. Pleasant and informative staff and excellent food. Can’t wait to go back next time we are in KL. Thank you for the evening.

“Worth the high rating”
I went with some expectation given the good reviews and true to what is being shared, this restaurant lives up to the high rating. The menu may not be extensive (just one page) but every dish that we tasted was excellent. The ham and cheese board, ravioli, salad and mains were well executed. The churros is one of the best I’ve had in years. Nice selection of wines too without burning a hole in your pocket. Kudos to the staff as well. You people are great.
So, if you’re celebrating a team win or looking for a unique team building activity, look no further than Drift Dining and Bar. Let us take care of the details.
