Welcome to Warisan Tarom Cafe, a charming haven nestled in the heart of Johor Bahru at the Kompleks Yayasan Warisan. This delightful cafe is not just a place to grab a meal; it’s a culinary journey that celebrates the rich flavors of Johorean cuisine.

As soon as you step into Warisan Tarom Cafe, you’re enveloped by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that evokes the comforting vibes of a traditional kampung (village). The rustic decor, combined with the mouthwatering aromas wafting from the kitchen, gives you a sense of returning home, making every visit feel special.

The menu is a treasure trove for food enthusiasts, particularly those with a love for Malay breakfast. A standout dish, as mentioned by satisfied patrons, is the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng - a perfect way to kickstart your day. Imagine fluffy rice steamed to perfection, paired with a crispy fried chicken that is both juicy and flavorful. This dish, celebrated for its heartiness, is often recommended for breakfast, capturing the spirit of Malaysian morning fare.

Other must-try selections include the Soto Lontong, a savory soup with fragrant spices and tender lontong, and the Mee Siam Berkuah, bursting with bold flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing. Nevertheless, true culinary delights await with the Tempe Goreng and Jemput-Jemput, particularly enjoyable when dipped in the signature Sambal Tumis. The Cucur Pisang, a crispy banana fritter, is also a crowd favorite that won't disappoint.

Don’t just take our word for it! Customers have expressed their admiration and loyalty to Warisan Tarom Cafe. Hisyam Darwis praised the authentic hospitable service, declaring the Nasi Lemak a breakfast essential. Firdaus Isa, who has been a loyal fan since 2008, highlights the cafe’s commitment to maintaining the original flavors that keep him coming back. Dr. Pratheepa Dhas also applauded the stunning food and excellent service, reinforcing the café’s reputation as a staple for Malay cuisine in Johor Bahru.

One of the best times to visit is before 9 AM, as Rasyiqah Raqi noted, to ensure you get to savor the freshest offerings, as some favorites tend to sell out quickly. With every bite at Warisan Tarom Cafe, you’re not just enjoying a meal; you’re participating in a rich cultural tapestry, celebrating the flavors and culinary traditions of Johor.

Whether you’re a local or a traveler exploring Johor Bahru, make Warisan Tarom Cafe a stop on your culinary adventure. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience that brings the heart and soul of Malaysian food into every delicious bite.

Nice hospitality, nasi lemak ayam goreng is a must to start your day. I think it’s only for breakfast. Very kampung vibes. I love it

One of the best cafe for breakfast in johor bahru. The serve all good food of johor from soto lontong nasi lemak yummy ayam goreng. Of course the highlight of this place is the tempe goreng, cucur pisang (sinfully delicious) and jemput-jemput with their signature sambal tumis. Ive been to this place since my early days in JB back in 2008, they still maintained the taste.

Had a wonderful authentic Johorean breakfast here. The lontong is really nice, and the mee siam berkuah is a must try. The ayam goreng was flavorful and juicy. The lempeng and jemput-jemput were amazing and fluffy. You have to order with the kakak at the window. Try to come before 9am because the food tends to sold out fast.
