“ Parking might be little tricky and packed. Otherwise everything is the top notch. If vegetarian options,we always done in here travelling from Butterworth. ”
“ Overall, the taste of the briyani rice is good. However, the tosai is a bit too oily, though it still tastes nice. The mango lassi is very thick and delicious. The Garlic Naan is so good, highly recommend and to try. ”
“ Great southern Indian vegetarian and vegan food, which is extremely clean and fresh. No grease at all. Shop is also clean and staff very friendly and helpful. It’s a nice place to spend time, you can definitely spend some time to relax there too. Apart from great dosas they also have upattham, buriyani, samosas, curries and some other dishes. The chutneys are great and their daal too. This shop is so cheap that it’s hard to believe. Their servings are huge and cost around 5RM-10RM per dish. ”
“ Amazing and cheap vegan indian food! The staff was friendly but communication wasn't that easy We asked for a squeezed fresh orange juice, we got promised one and then received a blended one The chairs could be more comfortable and it was really loud All in all still 5 starts because of the great taste and the cheap price ”
“ Dropped by recently after quite a while — happy to find the food still tastes just as great as I remember. It's a classic South Indian vegetarian spot that serves consistently satisfying meals. The hospitality is decent, and the waiting time is quite reasonable. If you're in the mood for a traditional South Indian breakfast or meal, this place won't disappoint. ”
“ Delicious and authentic Indian food, the price is on the higher end compared to other similar stores. The staff is not very attentive, it took several attempts to get their attention. ”
“ First time visiting this outlet. Tried the special of the day, momo. Didn't quite like the momo skin. Had the special biryani and Bombay thali. Biryani was nice. Naan that came with the thali was a bit dry. Filter coffee was nice. Masala tea to me, was ok. ”
“ First time visit to this restaurant. Compared to the other indian restaurants I went before, the vegetarian food they served is the best i had so far. This restaurant was used to a Michelin guide restaurant for year 2023/2024. However, it seem like there is no more Michelin title for this year 2025. Perhaps it might be a good thing for this restaurant to prevent overcrowded by tourists ”
