Truly great dining experience. The atmosphere is of course fantastic inside the Botanic Gardens. But the food as well as the service are at the same high level so while it's definitely not a cheap restaurant it was well worth the price for the occasion.
Nice ambience with unique fusion food. However, portion is a little too small.
Do not suggest to dine in aircon or non aircon section since this is my first visit. After our meal then we realised that there was an aircon section. Disappointed.
The Food is good and the ambience is nice. All staff is very friendly and attentive. Welldone
The food is extremely delicious, and the staff is very courteous. Was a great romantic dinner date with my other half.
Nice ambience, we ordered food which were the specialty of the restaurant, which were ginger infused or based, and was great. Wait staff, Zim, was pleasant, knowledgeable and has a good sense of humour, which complimented my trip there with my wife.
Great service, great food and memorable experiemce for my family as we celebrate my aunt's 70th birthday amidst lush greenery at the one of a kind Singapore Botanic Gardens!
Nice ambiance and great food quality at reasonable price. Highly recommend the Chili Crab Spaghetti (mildly spicy) and the Pork Loin served Chinese style in a bowl with rice (juicy but un-char and cleaner taste than roast pork). Service was excellent!
Interesting, beautifully plated and delicious food. We were seated outdoors on a cool evening so there was a nice ambiance. The staff were very attentive and prompt with personal service. Good for a special occasion or just for a night to chill with family and friends.
Celebrated husband's birthday. Food was nice and peaceful atmosphere. Good service too !
The food was fabulous. Staffs are helpful and friendly. In addition, its a cozy, natural and comfortable environment to dine in. Definitely will return again. :)
. delicious food with a special creative twist ... like always great service with a personal note ... has improved very much beautiful setting in lush green serenity with nice music (sometimes even life) ... definitely to be repeated and additionally ... the fans can be switched off on request ... very convenient for our necks ... .
The service staff was great. It was my wife's birthday and they helped arranged candles and even used chocolate to write happy birthday on the plate they served the cake with. They did this inspite of me getting the cake from another place.
STAFF VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. FOOD VERY GOOD & REASONABLY PRICED. AMBIANCE STUNNING! WHAT A TREAT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO EACH OTHER WITHOUT COMPETING WITH MUSIC!
It was very disappointed lunch. The services was good but the food menu was not stunning. The presentation was casual and not special at all.
It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my daughter. We brought our own designer's cake and came to the restaurant early. The staff was kind enough to keep the cake so we don't have to lug it around. Food wise, it is pretty decent quality (don't expect any Michelin Star and you're fine) but price is on the higher end but sort of within our expectation. Really like the halia mocktails especially the one with the ginger bulb as key ingredient. Well, Halia is part of the Raffles Hotel and that's where Singapore Sling was born. We are well attended to by the staff and services are prompt. Perhaps the one thing I don't quite appreciate is the use of the wooden plate and "chopping board" for serving and dinning as accommodating a few on the table is a challenge. Overall, quite impressed with the restaurant, the ambient. Highly recommended.
very attentive and knowledgable staff made the already great food and beautiful surroundings even better.
The atmosphere is green and calming. The food was good, we had the kampong chicken and the their singapore chilli crab spaghetti (one of the house specialities). Both very tasty.. but the dessert, banana fritter style, which was also the house speciality, really let the rest of the meal down. I am always suspicious of a meal which is dressed up to look like what it is not - in this case, a garden. None of it really worked together, and each on its own was a little bland and boring. The staff were attentive. The wine prices were a little steep - prices for wine in restaurants appears to be going down, but not here. A vin ordinaire sav blah at $90 - I think it is time Singapore grew up and stopped pretending that the government taxes are responsible for this customer rip off. I would eat there again, and avoid the dessert. And probably the wine.
Awesome service, nice ambience & delicious food! Overall great experience!
Great service and attends to your needs. Keep up the good service!
Food was excellent, service staff are very friendly. Very interesting dessert.
Our waiter was knowledgable and very nice. We had a great time
Nice food over there. Staff there are very approachable. Thumbs up for the restaurant.
Nice Ambience and very good customer service. The staff actually address you by name. Food is nice. But some food ietms are abit pricey. Definitely will visit again.
It was a pretty atmosphere and food was good. I'd be back when at the gardens.
Service was impeccable! Must try for a good and relaxing meal at the gardens! Service staff tries their best to remember all customers names as well. Which makes the experience even better
This is my second time at Halia.As expected,the food was great.my friend tried the Risotto,I tasted it and I think that needs lots of improvement.other that that all is fine and we have a great time.
Lovely ambiance, great area, just drive yourself because cabs cannot find it.
We were celebrating our anniversary and the service was fantastic, and food quality was not bad. Ambience was slightly noisy with kids in the dining room.
Highly recommend the chicken dish, tenderest and best chicken ever. Also exceptional ambience
Great service, atmosphere and value. I visited Sunday dinner. Jazz band was awesome. I had to wait my friend 1 hour, but never got bored because of that. I recommend to go walk around into Gazebo. It would be extremely romantic.
Great service from the waitress, especially May, who was attentive to our needs, checking on us to see if we are ok with the food and drinks..
The food was fantastic and beautifully presented even thought the servings were a tad Small. The staff were friendly and the service was superb. :) we had a great time!
Good ambience right in the middle of lush greenery. Food quality and taste is passable.
I had a lovely meal at The Halia - Botanic Gardens. Food = superb, and they were very friendly. Nice house wine and beautiful setting! Highly recommend for a special occasion.
Excellent service. Romantically dim lights but with casual friends might be rather too dim. Enjoyed the food and a wide ranging menu. Suggest to consider shared dishes if in a big group.
Great outdoor atmosphere, after a beautiful walk through the Botanic garden. Efficient service and accurate staff.
The service is great. Greeted politely by waiters. Was there for a little birthday celebration for a friend. They had a birthday message written on the dessert plate. Food was great. Will be back to try others on the menu.
excellent as always - food ambience and service . we went with some friends from Australia for lunch and they were so impressed. sometimes Monday lunches in restaurants are flat after the weekend - not the halia :)
Lunch at the Halia consisted of a beautiful setting, delicious food and great service. Recommended to all as part of a visit to the Botanic Gardens.
Overall a wonderful experience! The service was excellent! However a little bit disappointed with the change in menu. It was better under the previous management.
The music and the ambience are excellent! The variety of food shoud be bigger, though. The taste of food used to be better. Service is as good as always.
Great location and beautiful restaurant. Good was lovely. Service good.
Service slow, food was average but v nice setting and atmosphere.
Good food, excellent service but some mosquitoes control would've been perfect
Very pleasant restaurant.Must try the ginger confit for desert,it was delicious.thr staffs were friendly and overall we have a great lovely dinner.
The environment and atmosphere were excellent. The staff were very friendly and professional. Food was inspirational, and the ginger flavor in most of the menu was just nice, not too heavy.
The setting is beautiful but the music was so loud that having a conversation was a challenge. Service was good but a bit disorganised with three different people asking about drinks within three minutes. The food was good especially the desserts which were delicious.
Nice atmosphere and surroundings. A bit warm outside though. But the live band is great
Lovely setting, fabulous fusion style menu, lovely staff and a great ambience, what more can you ask for eating in the gorgeous botanic gardens followed by a lovely walk home.... Excellent ( some lovely cocktails too)
