Good sentiments about Morso after we tried it out for dinner. They have the typical western / Italian fare. What stood was their mixed platter with an assortment of few dishes - chicken chop, lamb chops, meatballs, sausage, salad, and a serving of pasta (to be topped up) to go along with. One shortcoming was the amount of sinew in the meatballs…so ensuring quality of ingredients would be welcome. Other than they a small selection of pastry/desserts. Their Pavlova was unique and worth a try. Staff were friendly and we mostly saw larger groups dining there and even a birthday celebration being organized. Location is at the far end of Uda and its easy to find a parking space. Overall, a positive experience.

First time with mine blowing taste & experience. The shell-out for 2 was amazingly delicious & good price RM75! Portion was huge with fried sambal seabass & omelette. We requested to replace cockles with something & they obligingly said ok! Highly recommended & there are also other dishes for non seafood lovers.

The food was okay and the place is comfortable, but the quality can be a bit inconsistent some dishes were great, others average. Prices are slightly high but portions are big. Good spot for group dining or birthday celebrations. Hopefully they improve food consistency because the place itself is nice.

Saw this high-rated cafe on google review, and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, the rate is not a faulty! This cafe is owned by Malays, but they sell western food, shellout and minority of arabian food. They do sell cakes and balloons too, so kinda a great place to have a small birthday celebration at here, very convenient! The ambience was good, very chilling and comfortable. The service was superb as well. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. As for the food, we ordered ayam mandy set and lamb carbonara pasta. Both were heavenly tasty! And their desserts were outstanding too! Unbelievably, they provided both good food and good service at the same time. The dining experience was absolutely great. Would definitely revisit to explore more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday at The Morso, Bandar Baru Uda! The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious – we tried the Creamy Tomyam Pasta, Chicken Chop, Lamb Chop, Calamari Rings, and cakes, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The drinks were refreshing too, especially the fresh juices. Portion sizes were generous and worth the price. What made the experience even more special was how smoothly the restaurant accommodated our birthday celebration. The cake presentation was lovely, and it really made the moment memorable for us. Overall, The Morso is highly recommended if you’re looking for great food, a welcoming environment, and a place to celebrate with family or friends. We’ll definitely come back again!
