Dasha 👻 ShigaevaMarch 28, 2015The place is always crowded and service is slow sometimes, but the prices are low and portions are big. Try the kebab mix which us brought in an hot pan and get the best mango lassi ever.Upvote34DownvoteUpvoted Jan 28
M N AminOctober 4, 2014The tandoori chicken is *really* good! So moist and flavourful. Their claypot briyani is different but OK! The "badam kheer" (fresh milk cooked with almond) is good.Upvote22Downvote
Men A WataFebruary 1, 2016Bloody tandoori chicken. Really delicious but better use fork and spoon if you don't want redness in the hand. Price relevance with the taste. MarvelousUpvote32DownvoteUpvoted Feb 22
Maxon PugovskyMarch 10, 2015Butter Chicken (better boneless) is one of the must tries among Penang's delights. And it is especially delicious here. Don't forget some naan with it. Yami!

Aqilah AhmadJune 20, 2015Wanna try something different? Try their chicken milani. The sauce is creamy and cheesy. Plan ahead as this restaurant is always full especially on the weekends

Stefan LesserApril 19, 2017It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's excellent. Make sure you sit on the upper floor, the kitchens seem to be different and it's nicer away from the street.UpvoteDownvote

Martin WeigertMarch 9, 2017I know it's ironic to say this, but after a week in this city & after having tried many authentic places, I found this one to be too touristy. Does look too nice & polished probably.UpvoteDownvote

Sirin SallehNovember 9, 2015Chicken beriyani claypot is delicious but for beef beriyani is a bit tough. For the environment, its a bit hot but it is nice.
