" The gluten-free options here are a huge plus. I had the beef curry and enjoyed it, though I did feel the rice was a bit under seasoned. The thought of it being cooked right at the table keeps the whole experience fun. I would say it’s worth a visit, even for those watching their diet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and a great experience! I loved the food and the sizzling sounds when it arrived at the table. I had the traditional beef pepper rice, and it tasted great with the garlic soy sauce. However, I found the portion to be a bit small and wished there was more meat. The staff were helpful and attentive, which made it even better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had to try the seafood curry after hearing such good things. It did not disappoint. Fresh seafood cooked just right on the sizzling plate. The only downside was the oily feeling I got after the meal. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was fitting for a casual dining experience. I'd likely return but might choose a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was quite fun! Cooking your food right in front of you is engaging and interactive. I ordered two meat curry with fried egg, and the flavors were spot on. However, the overall portion felt a bit lacking given the price point. The service staff were very courteous and kept the ambiance enjoyable. Although it wasn't perfect, I would love to visit again to try more items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepper Lunch is an exciting place to dine! The food is prepared on hot plates right at your table, which is a real crowd-pleaser. I enjoyed the curry beef, but I found myself wanting more variety. The downside was a bit of a long wait for the food during peak hours. Still, I would suggest it to friends who haven’t tried it yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a huge fan of the Pepper Lunch concept! The ambiance is lively, and there is something really cool about watching your meals sizzle right before your eyes. The food itself was delicious; however, I did feel the portions were on the smaller side, especially after shelling out a decent amount for my meal. If you're looking for an exciting dining experience, this is definitely a place to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a big fan of Pepper Lunch's concept and enjoy the interactive cooking experience. The food itself was decent but not outstanding. I ordered the chicken curry and got crunch with every bite, but the chicken tasted a bit frozen. Service was superb, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is commendable. I would give it another shot on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
