We thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. The dum mutton was super tender and delicious. The staff recommended chicken on a hot plate and if you like the wok smell, it will be a palatable dish for you. Fried cauliflower was also a good recommendation but if you don’t like fried food, do give it a miss. The papadam served was fragrant too. For the chicken, I would recommend you skip the dum chicken and go for the chicken Bryani instead as it also comes with few side vegetables. I find the dum chicken not overwhelming and prefer the bryani version. The place is well ventilated, spacious and cool. Service was friendly especially an elderly service lady who was smily and approachable. Definitely one of my favourite Indian fare restaurants.

A true hidden gem! The food was delicious — especially the dum briyani, mutton ribs masala, and sambal quail eggs. Everything tasted hearty and authentic, with a warm, homely touch. What truly stood out was the exceptional service — the owner and staff (mostly elderly) were incredibly attentive and kind, making it feel like a comforting meal at a relative’s home. One small note: I’d personally recommend going for the dum briyani or white rice with dishes, as the regular “briyani rice” was more like plain colored rice and lacked the richness you’d expect. Highly recommended overall for both the food and the heartfelt hospitality. Strong 8.5/10
