I am writing this review immediately after leaving the restaurant because I am so incredibly frustrated. If I could give this place zero stars for customer service, I would. From the moment we walked in, the experience was awful. The owner was literally sitting right there, never greeted us, and didn’t bother to attend to us at all—just sat there with a sour face. It felt like they didn’t even want us there. We ordered a few items, including the prawn biryani and nasi kandar ayam goreng. The food was nothing to shout about: Fried Chicken: Ridiculously small for what you pay. Taste: Just okay. Nothing special. Drinks: Average. To make matters worse, they didn't even turn on the air conditioning or the fans. We were sitting inside sweating the entire time while trying to eat. The atmosphere was completely uncomfortable. We’ve been to several nearby Indonesian restaurants and cafes, and the contrast is night and day. Those places are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming. This Indian restaurant, on the other hand, makes you feel like an unwanted burden. Not recommended at all. Save your money and your mood, and go somewhere else where customers are actually appreciated.

View on GoogleI had a wonderful experience here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served at the perfect temperature.They use high-quality ingredients in every dish. The beverages were equally impressive—perfectly balanced and very refreshing. On top of the great flavors, the service was quick and friendly. It’s a fantastic spot for a a Indian delicious meal in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended!

View on GoogleOrdered boneless mutton biryani and chicken samosa. Overall delicious especially the samosa. Also the generous portion of mutton and the side curries were fresh and delicious. The rice was a bit dry though, but I guess that’s what the side curries are for. Just a personal preference. Overall, I’d recommend.
View on GoogleLegit southern and northern Indian cuisine combine. The spices are unique, it is rarely used in indonesian dishes. This makes it a new experience for most people. Most of the food had a very strong aftertaste (not for people with weak taste buds). The place is clean and filled with AC. Very hard to find a place parking since it's a very busy street.
