I was puzzled when my son, Farouq & his best half, Nadja and their son, Daniel invited my wife, Zarina, me, our two children Zana & Fariz for family lunch at AMANE but I heard it as ARMANI - the luxury high-end fashion house and streetwear in conjunction with public holiday to celebrate His Majesty King of Malaysia's birthday on 1st June, 2026. I know items like Armani t-shirt are popular for casual looks can be bought directly through online platforms. As not to look stupid or sound outdated spoilt the family mood for lunch outing, I just kept quiet & obediently followed them. Upon reaching the destination …
Located at Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) in Kuala Lumpur, AMANE is specializing in massive, 60cm XXL New York-style pizzas made exclusively with 100% halal-certified ingredients. The restaurant features an eye-catching, bright orange facade and is run by a Japanese entrepreneur named Shola. I observed the concept of high-quality, thin-and-crispy New York-style slices combined with Japanese culinary precision. Slices are served individually & are famously “bigger than our face”. The menu is curated & supervised by Chef Tsubasa Tamaki, the culinary mind behind Tokyo's highly acclaimed Pizza Studio Tamaki. (https://www.instagram.com>kyaho<)
The name AMANE evokes a welcoming, universally appealing vibe or a pleasant, harmonious sound for a gathering place. Zarina and I found this cool F&B outlet is highly suitable and comfortably fun with kids for our family lunch. It explicitly caters to families with kids & grandparents, like both of us, offering a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere centered entirely around large, shared food experiences. Its unique serving style and flavor profiles make it family pleasing.
We understand AMANE at TTDI, has outlined a dynamic future development strategy focused on menu innovation, community event hosting, and multi - location expansion. As a newly launched flagship location supervised by world-class culinary experts, the brand is prioritizing quick and friendly evolution based directly on local customer feedback. Following successful community pop-up turnouts, the management announced plans to scale-up their brand.
