Our Story

A calm harbor for
the modern family.

A space we built for ourselves first — where parents can finish a hot coffee while their children play, grow, and explore in safety.

The Founders

Meet Nana & Hui Ru

Naru was born from a dilemma every parent knows: spaces for kids aren't designed for adults, and spaces for adults aren't safe for kids.

As a new mother, Hui Ru found it nearly impossible to enjoy a meal while her young son played. Most spaces were either too chaotic for a toddler or too restrictive for a child to truly "let loose." Seeking a solution, she called her friend Nana to begin a new venture — one that prioritized both the child's joy and the parent's peace of mind.

They found their sanctuary in Bukit Jalil. With its high ceilings and flooding natural light, the space was transformed using Japandi design to create the calm, quietly luxurious vibe parents crave.

Designed with Intention

    Separated Play Zones

    To stop toddlers being overwhelmed by older kids, we split the play area into two dedicated zones — 0–3 years and 3+ years.

  • toys

    Tactile & Safe

    Wooden toys and pretend-play sets — natural materials over plastic, for a safer, more sensory experience.

    Heartfelt Hospitality

    A pork-free, Muslim-friendly space where "finishing a hot coffee" isn't a luxury — it's a given.

"We wanted somewhere we could actually finish a hot coffee — while our children played in a place we trusted."
The Name

Why we called it Naru.

"A safe harbor where families grow."

To become. To grow. The constant evolution of a child's mind, and the nurturing environment we hope to give it.
