Coliseum Cafe is one of the oldest British Colonial era steakhouses in Malaysia located in KL. Now they have a branch in Petaling Jaya keeping with the same menu & style but with a slightly more modern / airy outlook. Decor wise it keeps to the faux wooden tables and chairs with white tablecloth. Rather close together so it can get cramped and noisy when their packed.
The service is typical of the original in KL whereby sometimes they are attentive & quick however at times slow & non responsive. Think that is part of their style. In the KL branch the servers were infamous for having some air about them.
When it comes to food their steaks are quite decent. Their top draw has to be the sizzling steaks. Served in front of you while it pops and boils after the sauce has been poured on the hotplate. They will tie a bib on you before serving so that the sauce doesn't splash on your clothes. They also have nice half roasted chicken. Don't forget to try their oxtail soup which is pretty awesome. If you are not up for Western this place does serve good Hainanese dishes like the chicken chop, fried nice or noodles and even toast.
Wouldn't call this the best steakhouse in Malaysia however it is a nice place to visit every now and then for the old Brit charm.

Used to hear that Tetra has the best briyani around. Sadly when I finally tried the place the briyani is just so so. Maybe their quality has dropped over the years. Average flavour, decent raita, the chicken or mutton choice is just so so as is the dalcha.
They do have a decent selection of vegetarian dishes which were fresh and tasty. Examples being squash, spinach, potatoes & even tauhu. Can't speak much of the other dishes as we didn't try them.
Environment wise its a typical Indian restaurant layout. Reasonably clean with average service. Think there are many other better choices nearby.

Tried this place out for lunch few days back and was left very disappointed. The overall atmosphere & service is good. Typical casual Japanese type of set up but when it comes down to food it starts getting negative.
Had their Tonkotsu Ramen, chawanmushi & mix skewers. Every single one of them tasted bad. I've had better instant ramen versus what they gave me. The broth was weak & noodles hard. Big no nos for a bowl of proper ramen. The chawanmushi barely had anything inside. The skewers were a mix of pork & chicken items but were poorly marinated. Tasted rather bland.
Only saving grace for this place was the drinks. My mango calpis soda & my mate's milky green tea was rich & flavourful. Value wise this place is too expensive for the rubbish they are serving.
Would never recommend this place to anyone. There are so many better outlets out there.

When they first opened many years ago they were good. Serving up all day breakfast with a good selection of coffee drinks. Sadly this is no more. They are now at the bottom especially with the slew of new cafes popping up all over.
Service staff are friendly however takes awhile for food to come. Simple items like bagel with salmon & cream cheese or salmon scramble over toast are tasteless. Not worth the price. Dressing on the side salad is non existent. Their coffee is decent.
Move on & try other cafes. Just not worth the time & money.

We reached Penang in the evening and this was our first stop for tea. The place is packed so some patience is needed before getting a table. Service I would say is rather crappy due to perhaps the crowd. What draws people to this place must be the food which was awesome. We had mostly tea time stuff like pulut, vaade, currypuff, kesari and baaji. Judging from the quality and taste I can imagine the rest would be just as good. They also make good tea to wash down all the food.
In terms of cleanliness I would rate this place similar like most indian restaurants around Penang. Not dirty but not clean as well. Do note it does get noisy due to being a closed restaurant however in my opinion that is half the charm. If you want a quiet fine dining place then obviously this isn't it but doubt you would get as good a selection of food and taste.
