"We were staying in Bayview hotel and we were hungry so tried this Indian restaurant. My expectations were very low as never heard about this place before. But the food was amazing, portion sizes were big, flavours were oozing and staff members were super friendly. We were so hungry that didn’t get a chance to click picture of the food. But we tried there thali, banana leaf, bhajiya, pakaure. Everything was amazing and masala tea was one of the best in Malaysia."

"I'll recommend this restaurant, as the food and environment are nice. Service crews are friendly too, if you want to have a presentable Indian cuisine, this place is just great for you. Weekdays is just nice, sometimes weekend will be packed for celebration. So perhaps you can pre-booking. They do serve set-lunch, while ala-carte for dinner."

"They recently moved from Gelugor, one of the best authentic North Indian food available in Penang. The chef and staff are from India and they use pure ingredients to cook and tastes like food at home."

"Food was OK (nothing special). Price reasonable. Cozy and nice. But the staff don't fully comply to what customers needs. Before I place my order, I have already ask the staff if I can request for chicken thigh since I don't like chicken breast and they say can be done. But they still served me chicken breast!. When I ask the staff, they told me "we only have breast!". A bit dissatisfied with that answer."

"One of the best Indian foods that I ever tried. I went there for Rotary event as a guest, the food was in buffet style. The sauces are quite delicious especially when mixing with naans. The chicken was quite tasty. The Masala Tea was not so sweet and had some special herb taste if not mistaken. I will definitely come again."
