The Grinz Seputeh is an exceptional dining destination that redefines the Mediterranean experience in Kuala Lumpur, housed within a strikingly repurposed bungalow at Bukit Seputeh. The transformation of this 18,000 square-foot residence into a vibrant restaurant and event venue has created a charming and versatile space perfect for alfresco dining and private events. The Grinz offers guests a beautiful blend of indoor comfort and a breezy outdoor atmosphere, set amidst a tranquil and leafy neighborhood, making it an ideal place for those seeking a peaceful escape in the city.
The venue offers ample space to accommodate up to 150 guests in its expansive alfresco dining area, which is perfect for evening events like casual dinners, cocktail parties, or even informal corporate functions. The Grinz also caters to more intimate gatherings, with three private function rooms that can accommodate between 8 and 12 guests. Whether you’re looking to host a birthday celebration, a product launch, or a small business gathering, The Grinz provides a perfect setting with the versatility to tailor the space to your event needs. For those planning larger-scale functions, the minimum spend starts at RM7,500++ for a three-hour event in the alfresco area.
While The Grinz Seputeh is ideal for hosting events, it also shines as a restaurant. The Mediterranean-inspired menu takes you on a culinary journey through the flavors of Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, and other Mediterranean countries, offering everything from hearty lamb stews to fresh seafood dishes. The menu features a delightful array of dishes, including their signature spaghetti with crushed pistachios, spinach, and chermoula, topped with ricotta and a drizzle of chili oil (RM35), and potato gnocchi with clams, zucchini, and Pecorino Romano in a white wine sauce (RM38). The restaurant is known for its emphasis on fresh ingredients and high-quality cooking techniques, ensuring that every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail.
A standout dish at The Grinz is the Pan Roasted Grouper (RM58), a testament to the care the restaurant takes in sourcing and preparing its ingredients. The restaurant does not use frozen fillets; instead, they purchase whole fish and fillet it in-house, ensuring freshness and quality in every bite. The grouper is served with a flavorful beetroot stew and cilantro oil, and it’s so well-seasoned and pan-roasted that you can enjoy it without the need for additional sauces. The fish’s firm texture and juicy flavors make it an unforgettable dish that encapsulates the essence of The Grinz’s commitment to quality.
Aside from the main courses, The Grinz also offers a variety of charcoal-grilled meats and vegetables, ideal for those who appreciate a smoky, charred flavor. This includes options like succulent lamb chops, grilled vegetables, and other Mediterranean favorites, all prepared on the grill to enhance their natural flavors. The restaurant also provides a selection of appetizers, salads, and light bites that perfectly complement the more substantial dishes, making it a place where diners can enjoy a complete Mediterranean experience.
For private events, The Grinz offers a comprehensive set of facilities to ensure the smooth running of your gathering. This includes a stage (8 feet wide x 6 feet deep) for speeches or presentations, a PA system, and a projector and screen for multimedia presentations. The venue’s capacity to host both large and small events, coupled with its beautiful setting, makes it an excellent choice for those looking to combine a memorable dining experience with a successful event.
Parking is available for up to 30 cars, but due to the venue’s location, it is highly recommended that guests use ride-hailing services for convenience, especially when attending large events. The Grinz is located just off Jalan Syed Putra, directly opposite the renowned Glasshouse Seputeh, making it easy to find despite being slightly tucked away from the main road.
Since its opening, The Grinz Seputeh has quickly become a favorite among diners seeking both a serene dining atmosphere and top-tier Mediterranean cuisine. While there are still some kinks to work out as a new establishment, the restaurant’s beautiful ambiance, high-quality dishes, and exceptional service make it a solid choice for both casual dinners and grand events. Whether you’re in the mood for a quiet dinner or planning an unforgettable celebration, The Grinz Seputeh offers a stunning and comfortable environment where great food and lasting memories come together.
