The best tandoori chicken and briyani rice we've eaten for a long time! It was a little out of the way, so we took a taxi there - it's worth the trouble getting there. We had 2 servings of tandoori chicken, briyani, butter and galic naan, spinach and fish masala - and these cost us less than MYR50. It was... More

Just come back from an rtw a few months ago and looking back on it Pak Putra was probably the culinary highlight. Went back twice in three days in Melaka. It is seriously up to the hype, and although its not in the immediate vicinity of the main drag (jonkers), you absolutley have to go if you like Indian food.... More

This really is the best Indian food I've ever had and for the price it's just amazing. Worth seeking out, not too far from Jonker street and always packed.

Very cheesy and moist cheese naan, delicious! The garlic naan is also quite good. The Tandoori chicken is also moist and flavorful and the big serving of briyani rice goes well with the curry!

If you have cravings for naan and you happen to be in town, look no further. They serve naan that melts in your mouth and varieties of other north Indian & Pakistani cuisines and of course the Tandoori Chicken, a MUST TRY !!!

Well worth all the rave reviews, the nan bread is gorgeous, try the potato or the cheese. We have eaten there several times now, the staff are always excellent as is the food and the cost is amazingly low.

Just back from eating at Pak Putra's for the first time..hopefully, not the last. What a great taste sensation! We ordered chicken tandoori thigh and drumstick, spinach curry, yoghurt mutton curry with plain naan and mango lassi. Everything was delicious - the tandoori was so moist and full of flavour, and the two curries were also superb. There was plenty... More

I was introduced to this restaurant by Couchsurfers. I don't really eat much mamak food (muslim indian food) but the food there is great! Everything is fresh, naan so fluffy, curry so tasty and light and the tandoori is to die for. Ask them for their recommendation! You can't go wrong with it!

This has got to be one of the best tandoori and naan places, not only in Melaka but also in Malaysia. The chicken tandoori was cooked perfectly, a good blend of spices that permeate into the meat and cooked into a juicy and moist pieces. The various variation of naan offers dines choices but the best is the cheese and... More
