Mama Knows @ Fedelia Beach Garden Cafe sits right by the seafront in Cherating, offering a casual restaurant experience that pairs well with the laid-back beach vibe of Kuantan’s east coast. Located within Villa de Fedelia, this spot naturally draws both locals and travelers looking to enjoy a meal with an ocean view, especially in the cooler parts of the day when the sea breeze adds to the atmosphere.

The setting blends relaxed beach charm with an intimate garden cafe feel, making it a comfortable place to linger over food without feeling rushed. The outdoor seating areas catch the coastal breeze and open views, creating a spot that seems designed for longer meals and conversations, whether with friends or family.

Food-wise, the menu spans a variety of flavors that lean into regional influences, notably Malaysian and Burmese styles, which makes for a diverse selection rather than a narrow focus. While the cafe doesn’t define itself narrowly within a single cuisine, dishes like chicken and mutton curries come recommended by regulars for their rich flavors and hearty portions.

The overall vibe is unpretentious but attentive, with a team known for warm hospitality that enhances the low-key atmosphere. It’s a place where the staff’s friendliness and laid-back approach make the dining experience feel more personal—something appreciated by both visitors and locals alike.

Best times to visit are late afternoons or early evenings when the temperature dips and the cafe’s outdoor setting becomes especially inviting. It’s also a good spot to relax after exploring Cherating’s beaches and nearby attractions. For those who appreciate quality regional dishes served in a breezy environment while soaking in seafront views, Mama Knows offers an easygoing, flavorful experience.

Absolute gem of a cafe by the beach in Cherating… Dishes were packed with flavour and generous portions too. Must try is the mutton curry and Burmese green curry!! And with super staff and host you won’t be disappointed having your meal here.

A seafront restaurant in Cherating. The atmosphere is great and quite chill. The food selection is fairly varied, and both the taste and price are acceptable.

Perfect spot to dine and soak in the best view in cherating beach. The menu was great and the team at mama knows made the experience even better. Loved the chicken and mutton curry dishes! It's a must try. It'll be a waste to stop by cherating without visiting this restaurant. Thanks to sathish and his team!

I didn’t manage to take good photos, but the restaurant has a great view and such a lovely atmosphere. I could never find truly delicious food in Cherating, but this place was hiding all along! The location is great, and the food is really, really good. On our first day, we tried all the famous cafés and restaurants, but the squid we had here was the freshest and tastiest of all! If you’re having trouble finding a good place to eat, you should definitely check this one out!

Such a great spot! The food was delicious, the vibe was chill, and the staff were kind and welcoming. Loved the music too—just a great place to hang out by the beach. Definitely coming back!

I must say: trust the review and it will never go wrong. We had a scrumptious dinner here. Our order: mutton curry set, stir fry sotong, fried rice. Everything taste superb. I agree that this should be a place you can't miss if you are in Cherating. Not forget to mention their Kambucha. It is fermented well and so smooth. The service is friendly and the ambience is relaxing.

We were warmly welcomed by the nicest and most outgoing owner – such a lovely personality! Mama Knows is the place to be in Cherating, with stunning beach views and the sweetest little cat hanging around. Don’t miss out on this gem of a beach café!

Seafront restaurant with a speakeasy, laid-back vibe and delicious food (especially the mutton curry!). Defo the place to be in Cherating for dinner and drinks - plus a fantastic view. Both Sathish and Khalid are excellent hosts.
