Amazing tasting food, ranging from curries and biryanis to superb sides. The price of the food is very reasonable too compared to other restaurants in the local area. This place gets very busy from early in the evening (for good reason), so make sure to...plan your time here. Service is quick an friendly. Highly recommend!More

Really good Indian/Sri Lanka food. They also have vegetarian options. The cheese naan is really cheesy. The staff and the owner are very kind and helpful. At night you might have to wait for a table but it is worth it.

The cheese naan is of course the first thing you should order. We took the Sri-Lankan set and a few drinks, it was really good.

At £1-2 a dish, this is a bargin. Expect basic good Indian food. Staff were v friendly and service quick. Tandoori chicken was cooked perfectly (& dyed red as it always is by the spices it's marinated in). Lassi was nice, and the fresh made...Masala Chai excellent. Naan was good, but the Thosai breads a bit boring (even with dips). Toilets were clean (as was the place in general)More

We ordered tandoori chicken, mango lassis and the “unicorn” combo. The chicken looked fake red, tasted eh and was bloody at the bone (undercooked). We did not eat it. The lassis were unappealing and we did not drink them. The dosas were advertised as coming...with sides (see picture from the menu.) t They did not. Instead they came with a dipping sauce from a can. We picked at the pretty dosas… but found them to be oily. We did not eat them. This restaurant was awful. Really the only bad meal we had in Kuching. If you want a super cheap meal and don’t care about quality, this is your place.More

The food especially the Naan was extremely delicious and price is very reasonable. Always full and people are willing to queue to enjoy the fine dining in this popular restaurant. Ordered the triple extra extra cheese naan with 1kg of cheese and the taste was...WAAALAAA!!! Very nice. Kids love it very very much! Definitely a must visit place. I am going there again soon. 🍽️❤️🫰🏻More

Arrived about 11:00am. Place was busy but still had 1-2 tables free. By 12pm, the crowd had built up. Customers would need to queue to be seated. Popular with groups. Ordered the Sri Lankan Appam Set - consists of 4 appams (2 original, 1 with...soft boil egg and 1 with melted cheese) and 3 dips. Also had the masala tea. Masala tea is made with condense milk and you have the option to not stir the tea you do not want it sweet. You could inform them in advance you do not want condense milk as well. Restaurant setting is simple and good ventilation. Payment is by cash/debit card/credit card/e-wallet.More

We were recommended to eat here and try the famous Cheese Naan. It's a very popular restaurant, we had to queue for a table, but not very long. Staff and owner very friendly. Food delicious and portions generous. Highly recommend.

Very odd idea of Sri Lankan foods. The line suggests this is a very good restaurant. The food was a very odd representation of Indian food from random corners of the sub continent with little respect for the difference and balance of the spices. Cheesy...Nan bread made with processed cheese slices seems to be the signature dish. Atmosphere was convivial. We asked for vegetarian but halfway through, what we thought was a peculiar sambar turned out to be a chicken soup. Prices mid range for kuching. They do a good dosa but no filling. We left laughing.More

We had banana leaf chicken briyani that cost RM16 per portion. Sky juice cost RM1. To us it's very expensive for such meal. We can get half the price in KL.

I just got back from this restaurant. My colleagues had lamb shank briyani and banana leaf lamb briyani, while I tried the beetroot thosai which came with 3 types of chutneys. Comments for both briyanis- briyani itself tasted bland while the gravies were sour. The...thosai was just ok while the chutney were utter disappointment. I only taste I got was sweetness in the 2 chutneys and hint of chilly in what looked like coconut chutney. I can accept that the onion chutney could be meant to be sweet but what about other flavours? Perhaps its the local flavour preferenc to eat non spicy food, and more towards sweet and sour. However, the name and the menu was quite deceiving, considering that it listed Indian cuisine. A disappointing Indian cuisine experience.More

Perfect for what you need to pay. Clean, nice waiters, quick service, good food. Prices are really cheap and the food is simple, but fresh and tasty. If you are on a low budget (Western budget 😉) you are eating here for free. Just awesome...👍More
