"I have eaten here a few times in the past 6 years during my every visit to Kulim. The taste has been so consistent. Like usual, had to wait in a long queue to take food. It's really worth the waiting time. Price is also inexpensive. Do visit and dine when you are nearby there."

"A small indian restaurant with plenty of good home cook style dishes to try out. The restaurant is small with very limited siting place. Dish choices are plenty. They serve breakfast and lunch only. Friendly and promptly serving customers. Avoid peak hours like lunch time at 12, the queue will be very long and one would end up dissapointed if no sitting place available. Dishes finishes up quite fast. Best time to go there is at 11am for lunch and 8am for breakfast."
