Tried Janda. Hits and some misses. Chicken Satay & Beef Rendang were excellent and spot on. Stir fried rice noodles (Kuay Teow) were unexpectedly swimming in a peanut sauce and sadly very overcooked.  
They were absolutely swamped though (assume because of the excellent recent review) so wonder if quality was affected by that… would definitely go again and try more things, menu was full of interesting sounding dishes. 
 

Is it necessary to book at Janda on a weekday evening?

Went to Janda last night - it was a toss up between this and En Root and Janda won the toss! We booked on the day and it was pretty rammed, so booking advisable. Review to follow, but yes, we enjoyed it. Bit noisy because it was full.

Yep I would definitely advise booking Janda. It was rammed and we even had to wait a bit for our reservation.

I see the Janda Diner Times review made it into last week's Week magazine - see photo. Useful to see the summary of the review.
