15 September i Go For the Dinner Menu Last Page Have Written chicken And Mutton Buy Halal But There

On September 15th, I went for the dinner menu. The last page had written 'chicken and mutton' and mentioned 'buy Halal'. However, there was a cleaner boy who served my group's food and then also served beer. I was very angry because if you can serve beer, then you cannot serve beer. Today, I did not see the manager, so I could not complain.

I visited the restaurant on Friday evening, 29th August 2025, and unfortunately had a very poor experience with a waitress wearing a pink churidar top. I wanted to order the Veg North Indian Combo 1. Initially, the waiter taking the order confirmed it was available. However, the waitress in the pink churidar top, who was eating at a nearby table, signaled with eye gestures that it was not available. This left us confused about whether to continue dining at the restaurant. Later, the cashier informed us that the combo was indeed available, except the biryani was not. I requested to replace the biryani with fried rice, and she agreed. However, when the food was served, we were surprised to receive biryani instead of the fried rice. This is not the first time we’ve faced such issues. Each time I visit the restaurant with my fiancé, the same waitress in the pink churidar top behaves unprofessionally and makes the experience unpleasant. I kindly request that she be reminded to provide better customer service, as her behavior is making us hesitant to visit a restaurant we otherwise like.

Edit: Since the time of my review (see below), I've stopped eating here. I usually have dosas, and their batter is frequently over-fermented, making the dosas very sour. Their chutneys are served ice-cold, as though they've been stored in the freezer for a week. I also experience severe acidity and bile after consuming their food. They are definitely cutting corners and serving unhealthy food. Avoid at all costs. (Original Review): A decent restaurant for South Indian food. They make excellent dosas, which are served with delicious sambar. However, the chutneys are sometimes stale and can seem like yesterday's defrosted stock. I've had stomach upsets a few times after eating here. It's a South Indian establishment; don't order North Indian food like roti, naan, paneer masala, etc. If you are vegetarian, make sure to specify several times that you won't be eating your chapati with chicken gravy. This place is usually frequented by meat-eaters, and the waiters tend to assume all their customers are the same. The ambiance is below average. The restaurant is usually crowded and noisy, but the staff do the best they can.

As a Singaporean Chinese, I ordered the non-veg combo set ($16, after tax $19.18), which was so-so for me. This set came with biryani chicken (the chicken was a little shrivelled and small), yoghurt with fresh veg (nice), rice (too much considering the portion), naan, and butter chicken. I liked the plain naan dipped in the butter chicken sauce. However, the butter chicken gravy was sweeter than what I usually have at other Indian stalls. The ball dessert was way too sweet for me, but that's the norm for them. Overall, I think it's a good set to try a variety of Indian dishes. My Indian friends seem to find this brand decent and would frequent here. It's pretty expensive after taxes. I would visit here once in a while. Good service.

I was very disappointed with this place. The items are seriously overpriced for what you get, and the quality did not justify the cost. On top of that, there’s a service charge even though you have to queue and order at the counter yourself—hardly any service is provided! Overall, it felt like paying extra for nothing, and I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

8am. It was quiet. I got a set meal. The staff were not friendly. The price felt overrated, especially when two Indian customers came, looked at the prices, and left without ordering, which I think says a lot. To me, the food was just okay. It wasn't quiet as other guests were talking loudly until I played a video on my mobile loudly.

My daughter was craving Indian food, so we ended up at this restaurant. To be honest, I was hesitant at first due to the mixed reviews, but we decided to give it a try—and I'm glad we did! We ordered aloo puri, onion uttapam, and a few other items, and the food turned out to be really good. My wife and daughter both enjoyed it. I think some of the negative reviews might stem from people ordering the wrong type of food. If you go for dishes like dosa or anything they can prepare fresh in advance, you'll likely enjoy it too. I haven't tried the dishes others have complained about, so I can't comment on those. But based on our experience, it's a good restaurant and worth a visit if you're in the mood for Indian food.

A good restaurant overall. As Europeans, we are not very spice tolerant, but the spice level here was fine – spicy, but not too spicy. The staff were nice, and the ambience felt good. I particularly enjoyed the Indian music being played. Overall, a good experience.

Great place for authentic Indian food. Dined in using the FAVE voucher for the discounted $15 set, the Anjappar Popular mutton meal. Nice ambience and food taste. The cracker was unfortunately not crispy. Only the mutton was hot upon serving; others seemed to be served at room temperature. The staff were friendly, but they didn't really understand our questions, though they might nod their heads and say OK. You may need to come with a friend who can speak their language to communicate better. Otherwise, the food is pretty authentic, on the spicier side. May come back again if I'm at this terminal.
