It turned... More

I went to the other branch at jalan masjid india, they have one there too. Recommended by my yoga teacher. I love the masala chai there. It refreshes my memory of having masala chai in india. The masala chai you can ask for sugar or non-sugar. As for me, non-sugar will be just fine. They have variety of authentic indian... More

perhaps the only place for people looking for indian veg food. Amazing range of items on the menu till late night. Located close to KL sentral monorail station. Prices are above average and service is efficient.

Lonely Planet calls it "the best Indian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur" and they are absolutely right. We ate there three times during our stay in KL and every time the food and service was excellent. The restaurant is located in the middle of KL's little india and is always packed with locals - the best way of knowing the food... More

This no nonsense clean and efficient vegetarian restaurant is mostly frequented by Indians. Which tells you all you need to know really. There is take away and a counter stocked with tempting Indian sweets. The service is friendly and the food fresh because of the high turnover. The tikka paneer starter is exceptional. The dosas are a foot long and... More

Love the breakfast sets, very tasty and full of flavours.Service fast and no hanging around! The fresh milk coffee or teas a must try.( do ask for no sugar in your drinks and add your own amount of sugar, as they do sweeten your drink with lots of sugar if not stated!) Many varieties of dishes to try. Great place... More
