Visited this hidden gem in Ipoh with my family last Monday, and it was a truly memorable experience. The ambience was cozy and welcoming, but what made our visit really special was the exceptional service by the staffs. Susan, a wonderful lady, made us feel like we were guests in her own home. She was so attentive and kind, going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. She even shared the beautiful history of the restaurant with us, which added a personal touch to our meal.

The food was delicious, and the warmth of the service made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

뭔가 굉장히 고풍스러운 느낌의 펍 레스토랑입니다.
나이 지긋한 전문적인 직원분들이 그런 느낌을 더 강하게 느끼게 해주는 것 같아요.
음식은 양이 많은 편이어서 나눠먹기에 좋고, 맛도 훌륭했습니다.
특히 Fish and chips 랑 Crab 요리 맛있었어요.

Durbar FMS is truly a nostalgic gem in Ipoh. I had the Chicken Maryland, my wife enjoyed the Hainanese Chicken Chop, and my son went for the Fish and Chips – each dish was delicious, hearty, and carried that old-school charm you don’t find often these days. The flavors brought back a sense of comfort, almost like stepping into a different time where food was simple yet full of character.

The ambience of the restaurant was just as memorable as the food. The vintage décor, colonial-era touches, and warm atmosphere made the dining experience feel like a journey into the past. It’s rare to find a place that balances great food with such unique character, but Durbar FMS does it perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ipoh who wants more than just a meal – it’s an experience.

Food was great on its own but was made all the more better with excellent service from Susan. Her stories of the history of FMS and little tour of the mezzanine made the dining experience all the more memorable. We especially loved the chicken starter dish (can't recall the name) and fish and chips. Chicken Maryland was rather special. Pity we couldn't try the bomb Alaska (item not served) and the crepe suzette was too big for our party of 5 after our full meal.

P.S. I enjoyed the many thoughtful little details that went into decorating the place; preserving the architectural heritage of the place and the spirit of a bygone era. The wooden covers to hide the AC units are really clever and tastefully designed!

Un lugar especial en Ipoh, con historia propia y con una propuesta de fusión occidental y china que funciona de maravilla. Todo estaba delicioso. El ambiente es acogedor y el servicio excelente: Susan, nuestra camarera, fue encantadora y muy atenta, lo que hizo la experiencia aún mejor.

I gave s three star service although the food tasted ok because they do not have any concept of serving western dishes course by course.

We ordered soup, salads, sides and main dishes for 9 pax. Soup was served, mushroom soup was served hot and tasted good. Oxtail soup had too much herbs in it so does not sit well with our palette. When we were halfway done with soup, the garden salad and salad nicoise were served and we accepted it. But before we knew it, all the sides and main courses like pork chop, fish & chips, classic chicken, maryland chicken and two other steaks were served at the same time! We had to stop them from serving another two tenderloin as the table was so filled up!

I commented to servers that I felt the pace was as quick as Mcdonald’s! Servers were wonderful people but serving was just too swift. We arrived at 6.15pm and before 1hr, all food had been served.

I have never came across an issue like this while eating western food in many parts of the world. The whole experience made me feel so rushed and I could not feel relax despite smiling faces and wonderful service rendered by Kevin and other servers.
