REVIEW: Good Garden themed cafe in Johor Bahru, Malaysia: Eden by Wizards

If you're a cafe enthusiast exploring Johor Bahru, Eden by Wizards is a name that likely rings a bell. Although this well-known cafe is situated a bit farther from the JB checkpoint, the journey is well worth it. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the expansive, garden-like holding area that sets the tone for what’s to come. The space offers a refreshing escape before you step into the cozy dining area, where the ambiance is both modern and inviting.



Eden by Wizards is celebrated for its inventive fusion of Western and Asian cuisine. Their menu is a delightful mix of flavors, blending familiar tastes with creative twists that keep you coming back for more. During my visit, I had the pleasure of trying two standout dishes: the Ocean Trout Mentaiko Pasta and the Wild Mushroom Soup.

Ocean Trout Mentaiko Pasta: A Creamy Umami Delight

The Ocean Trout Mentaiko Pasta is a dish that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds. The spaghettini is cooked to al dente perfection, providing just the right amount of bite. It's coated in a rich, velvety mentaiko sauce that delivers an umami-packed flavor that lingers pleasantly. The sliced ocean trout is tender and flaky, adding a savory contrast to the creaminess of the sauce. Topping it all off is a perfectly cooked free-range egg; when the yolk breaks, it adds a luxurious silkiness that enhances the entire dish. The seaweed and furikake sprinkled on top bring a delightful crunch, rounding out each bite with a burst of umami.


Wild Mushroom Soup: Earthy and Luxurious

The Wild Mushroom Soup at Eden by Wizards is a comforting bowl of earthy goodness. This creamy soup is a blend of wild mushrooms that infuse each spoonful with a deep, savory flavor. The addition of truffle oil elevates the dish, imparting a fragrant aroma that complements the richness of the mushrooms. It’s the kind of soup that wraps you in warmth with every sip, making it a perfect starter or even a meal on its own.


My visit to Eden by Wizards was nothing short of delightful. The combination of their garden-like waiting area, inviting ambiance, and exceptional fusion cuisine makes this cafe a standout in Johor Bahru. The Ocean Trout Mentaiko Pasta and Wild Mushroom Soup were both incredibly satisfying, leaving me eager to return. I can’t wait to explore more of their unique menu offerings and once again enjoy the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes Eden by Wizards such a gem.
