This isn't just for the tourists, it was full of locals too. The tables are long and seat a dozen or more, so you might be sat next to others, but probably with a chair between you. The menu is massive, hard to choose. Starters were huge, much too big for one, would have been fine to share. Main courses... more

Everyone orders the curry fish-head, a dish that always comes up to our expectations. As usual, we opted for the "Large" platter! Both Mutton dishes were delicious: the Masala came out better than the Mysore which was a little too dry and salty. A good place to bring overseas visitors who will enjoy the tasty local food as well as... more

One of the best curry's I've ever had. You are served your meal on a banana leaf, and according to friends there is etiquette to this, the way you fold your leaf after you have finished indicates if you have enjoyed your meal or not. The dishes were full of flavour, not just hot. The lime sour and the laksa... more

We were expecting it to be a South Indian vegetarian restaurant. Though the South Indian Thali dish was featured on the menu, it was not available. Food was mostly North Indian - if one can call it. Terrible taste, flat.All was served on Banana leaf!. North Indian food is not served on banana leaf.Tables and toilets were dirty. more

Food is generally okay - nothing fantastic. The only outstanding dish was the curry fishhead. Service can be chaotic - so many waiters hovering around you but none seem to really understand what it is you need! It is not the cheapest place to eat curry fishhead. There are many other cheaper and better options in the area. more

The food was good. But service was poor. A Singapore Indian friend of mine recommended it for the fish head curry. Unfortunately I did not try this. But the courses we tried were between average and good. Nothing was great. And the staff were just plain unfriendly. I guess they treat my Singapore friend better though... more
