“ I’m really hungry, got a portion of mutton, curry chicken, pucuk manis and an egg sambal. Together with a lime juice drink total cost me RM15. Fairly reasonable, taste is awesome and everything cooks perfectly. ”
“ An authentic Chettinad restaurant as opposed to the ubiquitous Mamak restaurants all over town. Tourists arriving from the Tioman ferry will make a beeline for this place. The usual chicken , mutton & other vegetarian fares. Do ask for the free rasam soup if not proffered. The restaurant is only for lunchtime ”

“ Stopped for a quick lunch after leaving Tioman. Wonderful food full of flavor, and lots of vegetarian (also Vegan) options for us. We also got a cold tea and lime juice, which was equally delicious. Most importantly, the people here made us feel like family! They informed us that all of the veggies are from their own garden, which was such a sweet touch. Would recommend 10 times over! ”
