4/5 Deevagaran N. 1 year ago on Google
Went
with
a
rather
large
group
of
relatives
on
a
Friday
night.
The
place
was
surprisingly
rather
empty
except
for
a
couple
of
occupied
tables.
We
realised
that
we
called
the
wrong
branch
to
book
our
tables
as
there
is
another
one
in
Iskandar
area.
Luckily
the
staff
were
used
to
this
and
the
restaurant
was
not
too
full.
SPACE
&
SERVICE
The
service
staff
were
very
accommodating
and
put
together
4
large
tables
for
us.
We
were
seated
in
a
large
central
space
while
I
did
notice
other
well
designed
spaces
for
smaller
groups.
The
staff
were
very
patient
with
a
large,
boisterous
and
rather
picky
group
like
ours,
so
kudos
to
them.
FOOD

The
Good
The
advantage
of
having
a
rather
large
group
of
diners
with
you
is
that
you
get
to
sample
a
wide
array
of
food,
as
long
as
you
steer
clear
of
the
family
politics
of
course.
The
highlights
of
Vanakam
India's
dishes
are
their
breads
and
side
dishes.
The
naans
were
a
highlight,
soft
with
little
chew
to
them.
The
regular,
garlic
and
butter
naan
are
recommended.
Their
panneer
butter
masala
was
a
perfect
compliment
to
the
naan.
Dont
forget
to
try
their
Chettinad
Chicken
curry
as
well.
Another
highlight
was
their
tandoori
chicken,
especially
the
Afghani
Murgh
which
is
tandoor-oven
roasted
chicken
soaking
in
creamy
cashew
and
milk
sauce.
It
was
heavenly.
Their
masala
chai
is
also
something
you
should
try.
FOOD
-
The
Bad
Funnily,
the
most
disappointing
dishes
of
theirs
were
the
briyani.
Everything
from
Prawn
Briyani
to
Mutton
to
Chicken
tasted
EXACTLY
the
same,
and
the
briyani
rice
were
of
the
shorter
briyani
grain
variety.
As
we
tasted
each
others
briyani,
we
realised
they
all
tasted
the
same.
A
special
mention
must
go
to
their
Mutton
Briyani,
as
it
was
rubbery
and
hard
to
chew,
something
that
you
don't
expect
in
an
Indian
restaurant
as
you
expect
fall-of-the-bone
soft
meat.
I
also
tried
their
egg
omelette
with
cheese.
It
was
just
a
plain
omelette
with
mozzarella,
but
for
RM9,
it
was
a
little
too
plain
and
it
would
have
benefitted
from
maybe
some
chopped
mushrooms,
coriander
and
onions.
FINAL
THOUGHTS
I
would
like
to
recommend
anyone
to
try
their
food,
as
being
located
in
a
predominantly
Chinese
neighbourhood
of
Mount
Austin
seems
to
be
working
against
them,
as
the
place
seemed
rather
empty
on
a
Friday
night
even
though
the
food
is
quite
good.
If
the
restaurant
improves
on
its
briyani
then
I
am
sure
I
can
give
5
stars
the
next
time
I
visit.
