Kafe Olla sits quietly along the village road in Kampung Janda Baik, serving as a casual stop for those craving authentic local flavours wrapped up in a laid-back kampung atmosphere. This cafe is not your typical coffee spot but rather a small-scale makan place specializing in fresh river fish dishes that local diners keep coming back for.

Famous for its Patin Goreng and Talapia Goreng, the cafe focuses on serving freshly fried fish paired with spicy sambal kicap, a simple yet rich combination that appeals to those who appreciate straightforward, home-style cooking. The fish is noted to be fresh and well-seasoned, best enjoyed hot straight from the wok with a side of plain white rice or nasi campur options. Other staples like Patin Tempoyak and Char Kueh Teow Lala round out the menu, reflecting classic local tastes.

Visitors often come in the late mornings to avoid the lunchtime crowd, which swells especially on weekends when groups of bikers make this a convenient pit stop. The atmosphere is clean and simple, fitting for a relaxed, no-frills meal where the focus is really on the food and rural setting rather than decor or fanciness.

Kafe Olla’s location near the village and its affordability make it popular with both local families and travelers passing through. It works well for those looking to refuel with hearty, familiar Malay fare in a practical setting without fuss. If you’re someone who enjoys fish dishes with a spicy kick, and a taste that leans towards the slightly more fiery side compared to other local spots, this is a solid lunch choice in Janda Baik.

I would usually go to Rumah Makan Riverside whenever I crave for patin tempoyak. Last time when I was at Janda Baik on weekdays, and as Riverside was not operating, I was suggested to go Kafe Olla instead. The level of spiciness is for me upgraded version from Riverside which I like. I dont have any regrets when i chose this place to have my lunch last time.

I love the food and ambience of this place. And the place is very clean. Turns out its near our house. For 6 orang makan, I ordered 2 Patin Goreng, 1 Patin Tempoyak and 2 Talapia Goreng. The must have is their Patin Goreng. Fish was so fresh, well seasoned and makan panas panas with rice and sambal kicap!! We even tapau extra to bring home. I also had some gulai rebung cili padi, ulam and sambal belacan. Air Limau Ais pun sedap. I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to go back for their Patin Goreng!

Nice food and ambiance. Went here a lot of times with my family for their freshly fried tilapia and patin paired with spicy sambal kicap (the MVP). Have to wait around 15 minutes for them to fry the fish. A lot of lauk to choose from, daging masak lemak, ayam, patin tempoyak, and veggies. Come around 10:30am for a smaller crowd. A lot of bikers stop by here during the weekend.

One of the best place for lunch in the area as they serve the best Patin! Ordered both Patin Goreng and Patin Asam Pedas, we love both of it! Kedondong was great as well. Clean environment and nice service. Will return again!
