The menu highlights bold spices, authentic aromatics, and traditional cooking techniques reimagined for sharing among small groups. Signature offerings often feature complex sambals paired with expertly seasoned protein dishes and fragrant rice preparations. Guests encounter a fusion of cultural traditions that emphasize texture and deep, layered seasoning profiles across every small plate. The environment prioritizes a focused culinary experience where each dish represents a specific regional influence from the Indonesian archipelago.

Satu Lagi is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine and its status as a dedicated gluten-free establishment, which many diners appreciate for its inclusivity and high quality. The vibrant, tapas-style sharing menu features standout dishes such as the satay, fried oyster mushrooms, beef rendang, and pandan crème brûlée, often accompanied by well-crafted, original cocktails. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as cozy, stylish, and lively, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite loud and seating may feel close. Opinions on value are mixed, as some guests find the portion sizes small relative to the price points, yet many others view it as a worthwhile gastronomic experience for special occasions. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, although there are occasional mentions of pacing issues or inconsistencies during busy periods.
Food was delicious - spiced well, aromatic, & even visually appealing! We're a group of 10 & had the group tasting menu which was a LOT of food & fun, haha!
The food is fusion which makes it more interesting for me & my friends. Some people might like that, but the purists might have a different opinion. It was a busy night when we came & our server struggled a few times to check on us (but she was nice & friendly), so it's ok. We're understanding people & know how challenging it is to work in the restaurant industry. Overall a great vibe!
Incredible cuisine ! I never write any reviews on Google but Sagu Lagis deserved a 5 star on every level.
For Cocktails i advise the Pan Dan Rice, trust me you you have never tasted something like that before.
The food is also absolutely delicious can't wait to come back & try new things !

The food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was so flavourful & well prepared, & the courses were perfectly spaced out.
Starters: highly recommend the tempeh & beef skewers, the fried mushrooms, & the tofu.
Mains: the rendang & the green beans are a must. The sauce that the clam stir fry was prepared in is also superb. You have to get rice on the side (both types are great but the turmeric one is fantastic).
Special mention for the pandan crème brûlée (still thinking about a day later) & chili mutiara drink (fresh & perfect for the summer).
Service is fast & attentive, & the staff is all very warm & welcoming. The ambiance feels elevated without being overbearing, & the restaurant itself is beautifully designed & warmly lit.
Perfect place for a small group to share plates & grab drinks. Book in advance & ask for a table by the window in the summer, booth indoors in the winter. Their terrasse is also lovely too if you're lucky to catch it in the warmer months.
The food was incredible! The blend of flavours was truly exquisite brought me back to my time in Malaysia! Wonderful cocktails full of flavours that I never would imagined in drink form. The service was magnificent & hasty & a special shoutout to Kim for preparing the drinks efficiently & beautifully. The atmosphere was truly terrific & I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for innovative asian cuisine. Thank you so much Satu Lagi, this experience was wonderful!
Everything was simply amazing. The food, the service, the drinks, the vibe... Especially the bartender, Kim, made us incredible drinks. Can't wait to go again!
I came here with my husband for dinner & we ordered the rendang & kangkong belacan-both were delicious & full of flavour. The service was attentive & we enjoyed sitting outside. The only small thing I'd point out is the sambal. As an Indonesian, I found it very mild compared to what I'm used to back home. It still tasted great, but I missed that extra kick of spice. Overall though, a wonderful dining experience & we'd be happy to return.
Tout était délicieux: surtout des pleurotes croustillantes & boeuf Indonésien, absolument succulents. Le saké Lucky Cat, contrairement à son apparence de la bouteille, il est agréablement délicat. Le staff est souriant & courtois. L'ambiance de la terrasse agréable sur l'avenue du Mont-Royal piétonne. Merci
Très belle découverte sur l'avenue Mont-Royal, nous y avons mangé un souper léger, mais j'y retournerais avec plaisir pour un repas plus copieux. Je recommande fortement les pleurotes frites. Chaque plat avait une touche d'originalité & la terrasse est très agréable.
