Made this our daily eating place. Tried a few others - including Sri Brinchang next door, but got food poisoning there. The roti canai and chicken tikka sets are the way to go.

We stayed in Cameron Highlands for 11 days and tried most of the places to eat in town. Kumar's is one of the better ones. Decent value for money particularly for the thalis and the naan set meals. Lassis are good too. Service is variable depending on who you get, but when you're on holiday it's nice to have a... More

We were in Tanah Rata for a long weekend & as my friend had stayed there before she knew the best places to eat, and longstaying guest in our hostel also recommended Kumar's. I wasn't disappointed. We ate there most nights and as a result tried most of the food on the menu. The staff were always friendly and the... More

An very average meal of Tandoori chicken, which we have eaten many times in Indian restaurants throughout Malaysia. I considered this not to be up to standards we have experienced previously. However, there is a defecit of decent restaurants in Tanah rata so I would imagine this restaurant rates as OK in the area.

After reading reviews we decided to try it for our selves and the staff and the food was great. Many of the local guests had the laugh of their life while we were looking at our food ... until we received the cutlery, which not all guests in the restaurant used :-). We ordered 4 dishes - one spicy and... More

The food is good, varied and not expensive. However behind their big welcoming smiles they were routinely overcharging me so then it was not quite as cheap! This happened more than once. A local later told me they do it to tourists not their regulars. Same happens next door at Sri Brinchang. Prices are clearly marked in their menu's so... More

Nice restaurant on the main street in Tanah rata. The service is quick and friendly. We had some nice Rendang and tandoori chicken with some rice and naan. The food was very tasty. Very good value for money.

Loved it! Yummy Naan, fast service, right amongst the busy crowd and realising we were actually sitting in a cloud. It was great :D
