About

Meriah, the Malay word for lively, evokes animated conversations and an exuberant atmosphere, but at this restaurant the scene culminates in the vivid experience of bursting flavours condensed onto a plate. Opened in late 2023, the restaurant is nestled on Level 1 of The Exchange TRX and introduces a fresh chapter of culinary exploration for Serai Group.


Meriah is the latest concept from Serai Group, a family-run hospitality company with over three decades of experience since 1990. Now operating more than 20 restaurants across Malaysia, Serai Group is known for creating memorable dining experiences through diverse concepts that harmonise tradition and modernity. As their newest flagship, Meriah brings contemporary Nusantara dining to the heart of Kuala Lumpur's most prestigious business district.

Nestled in The Exchange TRX, Meriah by Serai Group is a Malaysian culinary gem that promises an exciting gastronomic journey, showcasing a fusion of flavors from Southern Thailand to the Indonesian Archipelago. Instagram The menu is a culinary odyssey through the best of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, filled with aromatic curries, smoky delights from the grill, and the savoury allure of classics such as short rib rendang. 

Signature dishes include the Meriah Platter, a feast featuring pandan ginger rice, ayam goreng berempah, short ribs rendang, potato chips berlado and pickled cucumber. The Nasi Ambeng, a traditional Javanese communal dish, arrives as an individual rice platter loaded with ayam masak lemak, sambal telur puyuh, fried tempeh with sambal, sayur urap, bergedil, paru berlado, silky eggplant with fried anchovies, and serunding ayam. The Nasi Bebek showcases spiced fried duck with gulai telur itik, sambal and ulam, while the Mee Kari Udang Galah features giant freshwater prawns in rich, aromatic curry broth over yellow noodles with tender chicken, tofu puffs and quail eggs.

Western-inspired fusion dishes add contemporary flair to the menu. The Rendang Linguini features tender boneless short ribs cooked in rich rendang, tossed with long beans and shimeji mushrooms. The Samrot Prawn Linguine delivers bold Thai-inspired flavours with succulent prawns, while the Grilled Lamb Shoulder presents tender New Zealand lamb marinated in Nusantara sauce, paired with golden fries and pickled cucumber.

Seafood selections include market-fresh Fried Garoupa and Steamed Seabass, alongside charcoal-grilled favourites such as Sotong Bakar. The Meriah Crabmeat Omelette, though noted by some diners as needing refinement, remains a signature offering. Classic sides like Pucuk Paku Belacan and the mamak-style Meriah Mee Goreng round out the diverse menu.
For dessert, the Meriah Banana Fritters arrive crispy and golden, while the Chilled Mango Sago provides a refreshing tropical finish. The Meriah Cendol offers a traditional sweet treat elevated with quality ingredients and elegant presentation.

With a stellar rating of 4.8 stars from 1,473 Google reviews, Meriah is well-loved for their delicious fare paired with lush ambience and top-notch service. The restaurant's contemporary cosmopolitan space at The Exchange TRX creates an inviting atmosphere for family gatherings, business lunches, and celebrations, with private rooms available for intimate occasions accommodating up to 12 diners.

Accessible via MRT TRX station, Meriah combines convenience with culinary excellence in one of Kuala Lumpur's most vibrant dining destinations. The restaurant welcomes family, friends, co-workers and international guests to experience the spectacular regional fare of Southeast Asia in a stylish, modern setting.
