**UPDATE 12 DEC 2025** $14 for mutton rice with chicken liver and 1 veg. When the guy finished scooping the mutton, I thought it was a very stingy portion, so I told him to add abit more. To my horror, the additional scoop is $7. This doesnt make sense as he told me that the original price for mutton (1 serving), chicken liver and veg with rice was ALREADY $7. So how can and extra scoop of mutton be the same price as the whole original set??? DIRTY. WILL NOT PATRONISE AGAIN. MY INITIALS ARE NOT M.A.S I DO NOT PRINT MONEY!!!! March 2025: Apart from the prata and masala dosa, the ready to serve curries and vegetables at the front are rather expensive. They used to have the $6 mutton set (mutton,1veg,1 drink), but now that has gone out the window; perhaps due to inflation. For my meal, I had the mutton with 1veg, 1tauhu, rice, and a black coffee. This amounted to $9.20. This would be a $3.20 increase from the original mutton set meal, but provided I added on a tauhu - let's say that's $1.50 - it's still a $1.70 increase. Flavour wise, it is nothing to shout out about, but it is still serviceable. The dishes aren't particularly pronounced with spice whatsoever and remain just simple. That said, my main critique would be that for this high price, the portion should at least be what it was in the past, and that's not what I got. Unfortunately, the mutton I got was rather measly (refer to pic); about half the serving size of what it was in the past. I don't think the portion justifies the price now. I'm very willing to pay more given that inflation has made everything more expensive, but what I am unable to fathom is how the portion got smaller as the price got higher. My advice to those who are not willing to overspend is to stick with the prata and dosa. The pricing/portion of the curries and vegetables can be quite shocking (not the first time). P.s. The fish curry that was served with my prata some time back was diluted and tasteless. Do consider getting other curries to pair with your prata.

Great place for Indian food. I always frequent here to get my Teh Tarik fix. Service is alright (don't expect too much from it and that's understandable). The food is decent and the prices are relatively reasonable for an outlet in a shopping mall. Their prata is nice but their curry ain't that great. No GST + service charge as well so that's a huge plus point for me!
