Reviews Summary
Pampas Steakhouse at Old Malaya is lauded for its romantic ambiance set in a heritage building and its exceptionally well-cooked steaks. Diners frequently praise the courteous staff and the stunning views of KL Tower. However, some reviews mention inconsistent service experiences and the inconvenience of valet-only parking.
"We were here to celebrate my birthday today. We chose the set for two. The food was really good. Our first course was Seared Salmon with Pesto, it was so fragrant when they served the food and the taste also turn out very good. I had soup of the day, beef soup, it was taste. Our mains, Black Angus Tenderloin with Rosemary Jus, very tender and juicy, the sides also taste superb. Dessert was mango mousse, delicious. And and, their lava cake, very very good. Prity was our server, she's so friendly and gave us good advice on the mains. She also helped us to take pictures from every angle. We enjoyed our dinner very much.
Overall, very good experience."

"Took my family out for my birthday.
Had the mixed grill steaks and the Tbone.
These steaks are HUGE. The mix grill was way more than 300g. I’m not complaining.
Only bad thing was the lamb chop, it was mostly fat.
The service is top notch by the servers. They treat you like 5-star.
Complimentary bread and water is served.
We ordered my steak medium rare (which it was). I just think they didn’t cook it in a very high heat. But the searing was still good.
My other ordered medium (but they gave her medium rare as well).
We got a dude of cream spinach which was delicious.
The great thing? Their portions are huge. The side spinach could feed 4."
