I am not sure when this restaurant started but I first went there in 1991 prior to the renovations that led to a bigger restaurant some years later. The older, single shop lot was quaint, crowded and even simpler, but it was already a favourite....There is no pretence of this restaurant being anything more than what it is: cheap and cheerful. Good, dependable food at good value.More

Really loved the chapati with the varieties of self service food items. The chicken sambal was so good, went well with the chapati. The tea was superb too. Just a problem with parking.. busy street with narrow lane. There was a nearby place to park...but that guy charged us RM7 per hour and requested RM20 as deposit. Not even a proper parking spot. May need to improve on parking spaces but besides that , the place is great to eat. The laddo was good too. Must try placeMore

In this restaurant you can help yourself to chicken, beef and fish, all served in Indian gravy (with several types to choose from). (The exact choice of meat and fish can vary depending on the day and the time of day.) Rice and oven-baked flatbread...(referred to locally as "roti canai") are available anytime, though. Everything tastes excellent. Last but not least, they make awesome candy. Prices aren't high, and aren't low either. For a generous helping of several kinds of food, expect to pay 14 RM. For a small plate and a cup of tea, the price will be around 8 RM. The restaurant opens at 8 a.m., so it's a good place to have either breakfast or lunch.More

The hotel was opposite our hotel and not very appealing to the eyes, hence we just went in for a tea. Having a good experience with with the tea and the friendly/quick service, we tried dinner that day which was yummy. The overall prices are...also very reasonable. Sweets are also very tasty there. It is run by a sardarji and has authentic punjabi food. We went to the same place for all meals post the first visit. Home away from home :-).More

I was recommended this place as the best for Indian sweets and got a box to take away 20 ringget of a selection of the best. Food looked quite good too, tandori making breads. Food, they say, is better than the interior.

Justifies it's name, the taste is purely Indian and the dishes are made the Indian way. For a person searching pure north Indian food in KL, this is a paradise. Their paneer and aloo gobi is really delicious and the sweet lassi needs a special...mention. Tempting food ..can't wait to go here while in KL. Take away also possible so can eat in your hotel too. Owner is Indian so understands hindi. Their sweets are really tasty especially the Mysore Pak and the gulab jamuns unlike the aromatic smelling sweets in most of the south indian restaurant in KL. Easily gettable by LRT, just near to Masjid Jamek LRT station.More

They've been around for more than 30 years and consistently serve up some of the best chapatis and curries. Never been disappointed.

Visited the place for some good punjabi food and they didn't disappoint. The Kari, Cholle and Daal were all on point. Very traditional and authentic just the way you'd expect it if you were in Punjab. It's a very basic setting and being a popular...restaurant amongst locals, the waiters are often rushing around. Don't wait to be attended to - make yourself be heard and seen. They need to fix up their cleanliness & hygiene game. Evidence of grime around sinks and generally a little dirty around the restaurant. If you can see past that then you're in for a decent meal. I would go again (my wife who is a clean freak, won't).More

It's a serve yourself type place. The naan is made fresh if you order one. My meal of tandoori chicken, naan, and 3 veg was 12.50. That's the same price as I paid for a much smaller, less yummy meal at a much more famous...place. I'd come here again, no problem. Don't be put off by the appearance of this place. It's good.More

The restaurant is not known for its ambiance or celebrity chefs but it is very authentic and very popular among local people. I was taken there by a local fellow while we had a little photowalk around various parts of KL. I'm not expert on...Indian food but this one was very tasty. Their rice biryani was one of the best I ever had. If I were the whingeing type I'd might complain about the heat that was radiating from their cooking station where all the Indian breads were baked. A meal for two including teh tarik, bottles of water and some sweets for desert was RM27 which is very good value in my book.More
