"The food it is nice and ordered normal dosa, butter dosa, side dishes like fry chicken, sambal prawn and tofu sambal. The tofu sambal was sweet and those who can’t take spicy you can try it. The coffee was awesome but it is sweet. If you don’t want too sweet please let them know. The service is abit bad and overall the food is good."

"The reviews down there are very bad but this is my very honest review on food I have tasted. I tried ghee thosai and it was good ,while my family ordered coconut milk appam, goreng2,kottu parotta and all tasted good. The fastest service with friendly staffs eventhough they had quite a number of staffs. I will definitely visit this restaurant again when I am in tampoi and not forgetting foods are at affordable price !"

"Quite a new restaurant. Went couple of times. The food taste I would say good compared to many restaurants in Johor Bahru but there is still lot of room for improvements especially on vegetarian items. My wife liked the Pani Puri. Parking is ample in front of the restaurant. I really liked the staff(supervisor I believe) who is very pleasant, always friendly and with good attitude. Only part I was little unhappy during the 3rd visit was for Banana leaf meal, additional rice was charged again separately and despite vege choices left not much(was 2 only) at night still charged full amount. Suggest to look into the flaws as opportunity to learn and improvise. Staff: Location: Ambience: Taste: Money: COVID19 SOP:"
