One of the best restaurant in the town, staff is super friendly, polite, and very hardworking. Am pure vegetarian so staff themselves volunteer to wash all utensils b4 cooking for us and in fact showed us utensils after washing. So will recommend to all vegetarian people to visit without any worries.
Thank you for wonderful food and to all staff.

Delicious authentic Indian cuisine. 😋😋 I got the combination platter for MYR 13.90 and it was not only delicious but also so fresh and filling. My boyfriend got the chicken tikka masala (15.90) and said it was the nicest he has ever had.
We just arrived in Asia so we were nervous/ apprehensive about trying ‘new foods’ but this was perfect. Would definitely recommend, staff were lovely also.

Nice sympathetic waiters, told me it was better to choose because I hadn't tasted Indian food before. The dish is delicious – butter chicken with rice
You can sit inside, you can sit at tables outside overlooking the green slope. There are authentic neon signs inside. Nice to be here! I'll try again in time to try something else.

Stayed three nights in Tanah Rata and was recommended here by the reception lady at Rose Crest Hill Hotel and oh my god. I’m glad she did. We came here 2 out of the 3 nights we stayed here because it was incredible. The combination meal for 13.70 was such good value and the paneer masala was unreal. Lovely staff and even more lovely food! 10/10!

The spot is amazing for Indian Cuisine. Their Chicken Tandoori & Butter Chicken is very delicious. Their Chicken curry and Dal is fantastic too which was served with Roti Canai. Their staff is very helpful and co-operative as well.

Amazing Indian food with great service. They have South Indian food as well which is a big bonus for many South Indians who prefer South food.
The price is also very affordable.

Great place to eat. Very tasty and attentive and friendly staff.
It rained on the second day so we spent the whole day here. We drank lots of tea, drank delicious fruit shakes and had a little snack every now and then. We tried lots of different things from the menu. We were treated like kings. Thanks to the boss and the whole team.

We went for dinner and had a really good time with great dishes.
The food is freshly made and you can choose from Indian and Malay food.
From our point of view: one of the best restaurants in Tanah Rata.

Super spot for real authentic Indian cuisine. Fast service, unreal flavours. The guy at the tandoor is a master of his craft. The naan was a particular highlight with the three sauces to accompany. Super value for money too!

What a find! How this place is not on trip advisor I have no odorat. Food is excellent, staff very friendly and helpful, reasonably priced and easy to find in town. It’s not fancy but it’s excellent and great value! One dinner and breakfast already with rotis and soups and curries and more plus hot ginger (only place in town) and we will be back again.

We loved the food here. Mixed vegetables, the aloo ghobi. The naan came with mint, dhal and curry on the side. It’s not much to look at but the food is phenomenal. We went twice and would have gone more if we had time ❤️ Tried other Indian in the town which were nice but this surpassed the rest.
