Citta Mall

Never once I have not sweat when I visit this mall. Although they have quite a good variety of food choices like Chinese (Madam Lim), Japanese (Tokyo Kitchen), Korean (Mr Dakgalbi), and Western, coming here is definitely not the best experience due to no air conditioning. An almost perfect neighbourhood mall.

Citta Mall is one of the only shopping/​lifestyle malls in the Ara Damansara area. It is probably the first mall in Malaysia that adopted the open concept or outdoor concept. This place is consisted of mostly eateries such as restaurants and cafes. I noticed that they don’t have much retail outlets here other than Macy’s, Times bookstore and so on. To be honest, I find it to be absolutely inappropriate to have an outdoor concept mall in Malaysia, thanks to the countries extreme humidity and scorching hot weather.
However, apart from the inappropriateness of the outdoor concept in Malaysia, this place is filled with a wide range of eateries from Chinese seafood cuisine to fast foods such as Unique Seafood restaurant and MacDonald’s. I actually don’t mind coming to this mall just to have lunch or dinner when I am near to this mall, one of the reason is that their parking is still free at the moment and there is no shortage of parking too!

Have been to this place once before we head to attend a wedding at Saujana Hotel Subang. It was rather hard for me to locate this place using even though I was using the GPS, perhaps I was new to this place. Anyway, this mall is a good place for those who live around that area and they have there mere necessity for a good entertainment.
I was there for a quick meal in Chilis and find that the service is pretty great. However, I realised that the entire mall is pretty quiet even though it was a weekend. The mall is an open air concept but it may not be ideal for Malaysian climate /​weather. Parking is free which was good.
If you are around here, you may drop by to avoid the crowd elsewhere. Pretty nice I would say :)

You can only go to Citta Mall if you know for sure what you need to buy. Not your regular shopping mall, this strip mall has a few great stores too like Times Bookstore, Harvey Norman electrical, Macy’s and other great furniture shops.
Presto is there as well. Though I thought the prices are a little higher compared to other grocery stores, their things can be a little fresher.
Oh and how I love to visit the Kitchen Shop so much. It has everything me, as a cook and baker (hobby and past time) love to own but the prices are a little bit too ridiculous sometimes.
Food. Tons of food places. Nando’s, Papa Rich, Tony Romas and even McDonald’s. Don’t be afraid as you will never starve yourself when you are casually walking around this mall.

Citta Mall is famous because houses a lot of restaurants. Never really know about this mall until my colleague told me that she’s going there to have dinner with her friends after work. There’s a lot of restaurants there.
Being a curious person, I went over to check the mall out. When I got there, I was surprised that this is an open air mall without air conditioner. This concept is very common in overseas. However, I don’t really like the idea of shopping at an open air shopping mall especially with our Malaysian weather. It is so hot and stuffy! I need air conditioner. I don’t find it comfortable to shop and sweat at the same time. To me, I find that the only plus side about this place is that their parking is free of charge.
I seldom go there after my first visit unless I’ve got something I need from there. However, if you are looking for somewhere with lots of restaurants, you may consider going to Citta Mall (worry not, the restaurants are air conditioned!).

This is a mall that not much people know I assume? but there is several restaurant that people would love to drop by and I think this place should be known since there is so many awesome outlets are surviving ever since.
I will only come to this place once in a while since it’s too far from my place but people who are from PJ should really have a drop by over here! there is a restaurant name Unique seafood restaurant :)

I was first introduced to this mall by my fiancé as it is located nearby where he lives.
Ladies, you will surely be disappointed as this is not a shopping mall where you can shop till you drop. Rather, this is a large open space mall for young families to chillax.
It is amazing to see how the neighbourhood mall has grown over the years. Through my observation, the shops are almost filled up which includes quite impressive array of eateries like Chilli’s, Papa Rich, Bubba Gump, Chawan, McDonald’s and so on.
I feel that this mall is catered more for children as it offers various outlets for this target group. A gym for kids, art and language centres are some to name a few.
Certainly, this mall has its interesting and unique attraction point and I am certain it will last long… unlike SS2 Mall.
I think largely it is also contributed by the number of other strong tenants they have ranging from Harvey Norman, Macy’s, Jaya Grocer, Pet Store, Kitchen Shop, Hardware store.

Citta Mall is a very unusual mall. It’s not like other malls where you shop till you drop. Citta Mall isn’t the best place to shop (sorry to disappoint you shopaholics!). The shops there are more to the foodie side. There’s Noodle Shack, Unique Seafood, Chawan, Onde-​Onde and many other good restaurants to eat!
Another thing very unique about Citta Mall is that the outside of the shops (where you walk) is not air conditioned so if you get a little too hot, just go inside one of the air-​conditioned shops. However, I never get too hot as the natural wind is perfect for me.
I feel that Citta Mall needs more shops, especially shops that sells clothing and more fun stuff to do e. g Laser Tag, Escape Room, etc. The good thing is that not many people go there so there’s plenty of parking.
I recommend you to go to Citta Mall in maybe a years time? Hopefully then it will have more shops.

Citta Mall is the neighborhood mall for residents living in Ara Damansara.
The mall is one of the first open air malls in Malaysia and has been serving its customers with variety of shops and eateries.
To begin with, parking is still free since its opening. Although at times, finding a parking spot can be difficult especially during the weekends and at nights.
The mall has several good cafes and restaurants. One of them is Baci Café, an Italian café that serves good pasta, coffee and fresh Italian breads.
There is Pappa Rich, Bubba Bump Shrimp, Subway and also a 24hours McDonald’s.
For entertainment, there’s a mini-​golf centre and MBO cinema. The MBO cinema at Citta Mall is by far the best of MBO outlets.
Citta Mall lacks clothing shops and electronic shops although there’s a Harvey Norman.
I would say Citta Mall is still growing and give it some time, I am sure it will be much more equipped than now.

Citta Mall may well be in my Top 5 list of favorite malls. It is not a typical mall where we guys would go to shop til we drop. Rather, it is a large open space mall for everybody to chill without being bothered.
I think it started opening to visitors mid 2011. I realized that they have quite an impressive array of eateries like Chilli’s, Pappa Rich, San Francisco Coffee, McDonalds, Chawan and plenty others that we may not be familiar with, but set out in such a warm atmosphere. The place still has a few clothing outlets for you to browse around.
I am not sure if you would enjoy the ambiance as much as I do, though, because first of all, Citta Mall adopts some kind of energy-​saving environment-​friendly concept. This is because the building has a good layout where you’d basically be able to see the entire wing opposite of you, the set up is open-​spaced and aired by either the natural breeze or the plenty of fans set on their ceiling.
I saw on foursquare of some people condemning this concept but I guess if it doesn’t fit to your standards, there are way many other malls for you to go. Well, most of them would complain of the heat due to the lack of air-​conditioning at the open areas as it could get really hot. I’ve tried hanging out sitting along the walkways and walking around from 9am-​1pm yesterday but I have no complaints, whatsoever on this concept. Even their travellators and escalators use some smart technology where it only starts to move when you step on them. Brilliant!

Citta Mall is a mall that i really enjoy. I feel that Malaysia needs more malls like this. We’re in a country with tropical weather, i don’t understand why we don’t have more open air malls. I mean if you need air-​conditioning that bad, go into a store, restaurant or watch a movie! Otherwise, why do you need air-​conditioning as you window shop?
That is what i like most about this mall. The walkways are wide, always clean and they even provide easy access for the disabled. And if it rains here, don’t worry you’re well protected by the overhead roof. But you can still enjoy the breeze and fresh air of the rain. This mall doesn’t really have the usual branded outlets that most people want. I don’t recommend coming here if you wish to go on a shopping spree. Citta Mall is more of a shopping centre for leisure and food.
They’ve got plenty of great restaurants here; Wondermilk, Nandos, Chilli’s, Tony Roma’s and many more. They also have a big outlet of Harvey Norman here. You can ever head upstairs if you wanna try out their Mini Golf course, it’s a lot of fun!
It’s a relatively new mall and theres much more to come. Plenty of restaurants and stores are being opened up here. I predict more and more people will be heading here. Not to mention the parking lot! It’s vast, with plenty of parking for patrons. Even if its full, you can just head downstairs to the basement. But that rarely happens.
Overall, i would suggest you come here for a meal or for specific items. It’s not really a mall that you would window shop. But it does have the chilled out vibe to it.
