El CerdoOctober 21, 2015
We would like to congratulate Dining In The Dark KL for being the only 2 restaurants to represent Malaysia and Top 25 in the whole of Asia in Tripadvisor's Best Fine Dining Restaurant 2015. Well done!

Very good food, the specialty is pork (El Cerdo means The Pig) but they have beef as well. Pork steak, ribs and Spanish starters are quite good. Go for the 128 ringgit wine, you won’t be disappointed

Food was good. Pork knuckle came with sauerkraut, salad, and "dumplings". Brown sauce and the memorable apple sauce😂 service was superb, which includes the valet. Def coming back for more 😍

Too bad I was full upon arrival - everything looks and smells amazing! I had the spaetzle with ham & cheese and werner's special - both great! The bartender also obliged with a gin dirty martini!

Me and my wife had the "crispy pork knuckles" and could not finish it (was a very tasty, but big portion). Staff was friendly and always smiling. The pictures on the wall were funny.

The piglet and pork shoulder are the best I tried!!! Must try for 1st timer. Appetizer are awesome too especially bacon and mushroom soup~

Tortilla de patata and janon was good. Ribs were a bit too fat for me. Comparing with complexity of food and prices in Spain, verybexpensive. I paid the same price in authentic japanese resto in Kuala

Delicious oyster Kirkpatrick and the slow braised pork knuckles. Definitely coming back for suckling pig and the rest. Dessert of chocolate dream is the bomb! Excellent service from Jason and James!

the ambience is perfect... the staff are very nice! enjoyed the superb food esp. the roasted suckling piglet, and most of all, thrilled to have performed the plate-breaking activity :)

It's well known for the pork dishes. Apparently their Spanish whole roasted baby lamb leg is awesome too!! Juicy meat with minimal "lamb smell". Fantastic!
Alexander JohanMarch 23, 2017
The small ritual (history of the pig and plate breaking) was added some extra atmosphere to the existing great food. 4 thumbs up(incl.toes😋)

Babi place for pork lovers! Big portion so sharing is the way to go. Delicious marinated ribs & piglet!
Angeline Yu TongJanuary 8, 2016
Suckling pig! So crispy at the outside and so tender on the inside. Archie is the best server! Overall it was a great dining experience.
Ai Phing GohAugust 31, 2016
Amazing pork-y dishes, and super prompt service. Loved the plate breaking ritual... definitely added a dash of entertainment whilst dining in a group!
Amanda WongAugust 22, 2015
Food, service and ambience is great and impeccable. Must order: suckling pig, seafood spaghetti, iberico ribs and cold cuts. Suckling pig abit oily and fatty tho..
Chris LeeFebruary 25, 2016
Food is relatively good and staff is very attentive. Love their spicy pork sausage and pork collar. Delicious!!
Vivian CheahOctober 13, 2015
Excellent service! The food is good too. I've tried portobello as appetizer, traditional mixta paella, as andrew's special. All are great.
Issey ChongJanuary 2, 2016

If u like parma ham with melon, u'll be totally blown away with the iberico ham with melon coz it's way better! The pork shoulder is also a must try!
Matthew Ethan LeeJune 14, 2016
Food is excellent and service staff is good. However lunch serving time is a little long as they says it's under staff during lunch
Mike TanFebruary 10, 2018
Green salsa Iberico baby back ribs was a little underwhelming. The sauce tasted good, but the ribs were chewy. But maybe I’m too used to meaty “off-the-bone” ribs 🤔
Li PaulFebruary 21, 2019
It woah , it a must for those who eat pig ! Try it at least once in life . So good and the meat melt in your mouth .

Cut your suckling pig with the plate provided, and then crash it into a barrel! Dinner theatre at its best!

Grilled Pork Shoulder Fillet is not bad & worth a try 👍🏼🐷

White wine and pear sangria is great. Also try the pork belly pasta. Suckling pig was smaller than expected.

Once in a while is fine. The suckling piggy is really oily for me. But the lamb was good! :) plus point for the birthday service ;)
