How we Started

Adelphi Group was founded by Roy Chiew, Renee Gan, and Jimmy Boon with a vision to elevate the dining scene in Kota Kinabalu through their passion and dedication to hospitality. Starting as a small, humble cafe in 2015, Adelphi Cafe quickly gained popularity.

David Lee from Inch Coffee later joined the management team, enhancing the restaurant's beverage offerings and helping it evolve into a renowned destination for great steak and wine.

In 2019, they opened Pound inside Jesselton Mall, right next to Suria Mall, which quickly became a local favorite for Western cuisine, specializing in pizza and steak. It’s also become the first restaurant in the area to offer dry-aged beef, making it a treat for steak lovers.

By 2021, Adelphi Group launched Jojo at Sutera Avenue, across from Imago Mall. Jojo has since become known for its signature Bistecca steak and Napolitana pizza. These two standout dishes keep our regulars coming back.

In 2022, Adelphi Cafe rebranded and became Kinsly Restaurant, a beloved neighborhood gem in Damai. Known for its distinctive charm and ever-evolving menu, Kinsly offers a dining experience like no other. Perfect for those seeking a unique culinary adventure in a warm, inviting atmosphere for gatherings.
