I really love the palak paneer, chicken beriyani and chettinut chicken, do order them! Waiter is kind enough to recommend us the popular food. Didn’t like the naan tho

Great South Indian dishes. North Indian dishes were not completely authentic and had a South Indian swing to it, but still delicious. Best dishes I’ve had were hariyali chicken tikka, paneer butter masala and rasmalai. Mutton Rogan Josh was too watery and wasn’t authentic. Naan could have been cooked for a longer time in the tandoor. Mutton sukka was very bland and underspiced.

Had a nice meal with super quick service during our recent trip to JB. The pepper fish varuval is a definite must try and the prawn classic was super soft and flavorful. Totally worth the money, and best of all, it was light on the stomach and digested easily.
