Highlights at Café Ilang-Ilang

Café Ilang-Ilang has an elegant and modern interior that’s warm and inviting. There are days that it’s packed, but it never feels too crowded because the dining area is so spacious. The ample space between tables offers some degree of privacy and having a conversation without having to raise your voice too much is not a problem. The extra space also makes it easy to get between your table and the buffet.

There's a wide selection of international cuisine with quick refills and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Sample their salad station, cold cuts and seafood station, burrito and shawarma station, and bread and cheese station. What we liked here is that no request is too big for the chefs, as long as the ingredients are available. The central location of Café Ilang-Ilang, along with relatively easy parking, makes it a convenient spot to get to. It can get very busy on weekends, so we recommend booking in advance.
