I think the food is authentic with the Indian spices. I'd recommend the snapper biryani and the chicken roast as I am impressed most with the taste. Price wise is slightly steep. Their service are good! The staffs are very attentive and they always standby besides the table and ready to assist. Personally would think tat it's easier to talk if they can slow down the background music. Overall it's an good dining experience and it's a Muslim friendly (but with alcohol) restaurant.

We decided to give this place a try to celebrate Christmas Eve, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, well-priced and well-portioned. I must say that the restaurant knows how to bring the best flavour out of the dishes without having to resort to over-engineering the ingredients and without having to convert traditional food into a fusion/mixed cuisine. Kudos.

Love the appetizers - Dahi Puri (RM19 for 4 pcs) and Dosa chicken tacos (RM14 each). The dosa is large size and after eating that, we were already feeling full. We also ordered - Chicken roast - RM40, expensive for such a small portion and this came with a thick gravy, not bad Seabass briyani - RM150.00, not spicy and very tasty Dal spinach - RM25, very nice Sweet appam - RM10. Can give this a miss, cannot beat those from Aliyaa. Overall a good meal, and service is good too.

Group of 5 ladies. Overall environment was good, nice ambience and decor. Staff was attentive and made good recommendations on how to pair our orders so that we get a wider breadth of tastes and variety. We ordered the Kerala mango prawn curry, spinach, fish, fried chicken and brinjal. Portions were quite small considering the price point. Overall taste was good but not outstanding. Personally, I was a bit disappointed with the prawn curry as it was not spicy enough and the prawns were very small. Have eaten much better version in less fancy Indian restaurants. We finished the meal with sweet appam as our dessert, which was quite nice. Wish I could give 5 stars for the food as we came here for that, but 4 is what it is right now.

I came here with family and cousins for a birthday dinner. We are about 20 pax and they gave us a private room. It was well maintained. The staffs were very friendly and attentive too. Love their food and the taste was amazing. The price was slightly expensive but worth it.

We came over for Friend's birthday. Ordered few type of dishes and we like them especially the Pani puri. My favorite definitely their mango curry. I didn't know that you can make mango into curry. We were seated outside, it was cozy and the staff is attentive to our needs. The only annoying part was the bird on the trees next to it. Definitely going to visit this place again soon. Oh ya, it's better if you make reservations before coming over, otherwise it's usually full house

Food was reaalllyyyy good, we enjoyed every bite. Definitely will recommend coming in a big group to try out more dishes. We had: 1. Chicken roast 2. Prawn moilee 3. Spinach dhal 4. Mushroom pepper fry 5. Deconstructed samosa 6. Vaazhaipoo cutlets 7. Mango lassi 8. Bru 9. Brown sugar appam 10. Egg appam All 10 items were 100/10.

Lovely lovely lunch options and really satisfying. Everything tasted just nice and well-prepared. The appetisers like Corn Kure-Kure Fritter and the Kerala Style Pani Puri were delicious, crispy to get the taste palates revving up. The pappad platter was a nice surprise, with 4 types of chutneys. The fish mollie, trivandrum fried chicken, dhal spinach, raita and poni rice, a beautiful combination of flavours. Will certainly return to try the briyani, breads, and deserts. Do make an advanced booking as the place gets full during lunch. We didn't have space for deserts and their array of interesting cakes. Next time!
