Not many people which i like :). Roti n thosai so so but the indo mee & maggi goreng telur saja is so delicious. Teh ais n teh O ais a bit diluted. Friendly staff

Another famous indian muslim (mamak) style joint. Get your Indian influenced dishes made by and from india chef/workers. Food is tasteful mamak offerings. Muslim friendly. Nasi Kandar, Fish Head Curry is their speciality at lunchtime, Roti, Dosa, Fried Noodles, etc. Open early every day till late nights. You know the routine....shoutout Annae (tamil for brother) for table service. Nothing to be shy about here. Refer to them all as brothers. Prices are reasonable. Parking can be a problem during working hours.
