Authentic Nyonya Food as found here, particularly I like curry mutton which was really soft not hard at all. With a strong taste of the curry flavor. Rendang Chicken was also a thumb upreally flavourful. We also ordered Pineapple curry fish sweet and sour tasted really open up the appetite. No major complaint on the food served. All are good. The atmosphere is very relaxing with dimmed light. The place was decorated with a lot of old stuff making it a food dining environment. Enjoy our dinner gathering here in this wonderful place.

Been around tasting Nonya cooking and always in search of a great and authentic nonya dishes restaurant. Finally, found this Nonya Treats was actually the top quality AVF real authentic nonya cooking among all those that I've tried in Malacca. The restaurant is designed and decorated in a very simple and traditional way that turk giving you the rustic and homely feeling. Playing all those 60s music, was indeed nostalgic that brings me back to those days we were just kids.. Every dishes was really great with a nice sense of spicy and aromatic that it should be. Will be coming more often to try out other dishes in the near future.

Found this place as was craving for Nyonya food. Was amaze by the interior design when enter, did not expect it look fancy as it external layout. The otak was tasty with fish meat in it. You could also buy their frozen otak. The chicken pongteh must go with rice else abit too salty. End with a cendol, the gula melaka not too sweet tastes just nice.

This quaint little restaurant offers decent Nonya cuisine at a reasonable price, with all dishes boasting authentic flavors with varied use of sambal and chilli in each recipe. While the chicken buah keluak's sauce was somewhat diluted and the sambal kangkong was unimpressive, the remaining dishes we sampled were truly exceptional.

Very nice place explored by chance. The staff is super friendly, location is good and the food is super yummy. They do not serve any non-halal meat but not certified. Tried their fish head curry Nonya style and enjoyed it a lot. Other dishes were superb too. Bought the belacan chilli which was worth it. They make the chilli of their own and tasted very fragrant and unique. Also the friendly lady boss offered us three more type of chilli to try and they were good too. Met another Singapore ???????? elderly couple who endorsed the food since past 15 years of their experiences. I fully agree to the comments and commendable words after being there too. If you are in the vicinity then try out yourself to get your taste buds light up. Will visit them again in the near future.
