De Oratore Sdn Bhd (JIBRIL)

Founded in 2015 by four university students, we focus on delivering sophisticated dining experience to the mass market. We see the big problem — food is either too expensive when it’s good, or its taste is subpar when it’s cheap. JIBRIL Restaurant Group is founded to fill that gap, a well-decorated speakeasy restaurant, food and beverages that are addictive, yet affordable to the mass market. During the final semester of law school, we decided to take the risk and opened up Sangkaya SS15, a coconut ice cream shop. Because the crowd were massive, and we received our ROI in 1.5 months, we moved the business to a new building. However, because the building is larger than our previous stall, we decided to open a restaurant behind the coconut ice cream shop. Considering Subang Jaya is a market that loves unique concepts, we decided to go with a speakeasy restaurant, yes, with a secret entrance.
