The Drawing Room

The Drawing Room

4.4(198)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently praise The Drawing Room's afternoon tea experience for its creative presentation, elegant setting, and staff who remember special occasions. Recent visits highlight named staff like Hanni, Eni, and Rohaizad going out of their way for customers, from preparing gift boxes to arranging surprise cakes for anniversaries and birthdays. The themed teas (Botanist's Study, Christmas Hi-Tea) draw particular excitement. Food presentation earns regular acclaim, but taste remains the caveat. Multiple reviewers note beautiful pastries and dishes that don't always deliver in flavour, and pricing is steep enough that a few felt misaligned with the actual taste experience. Staffing can stretch thin during peak times, and one recent caller couldn't get through to make a booking.
