The place looks a lil rundown , but the food was absolutely delicious!! The green curry chicken, the prawn varuval and the fried bawal fish was super good, and the squid sambal was pretty decent. Ask for their sambar and rasam too if they have it.

It's the worst banana Leaf meal i have ever had in my life. I never imagined this would be the banana leaf meal. The rice has been partially cooked. The side dishes do not taste that well. The reception staff (Thin Lady) is extremely unfriendly.

the food was very delicious and freshly made. the staff was extremely friendly and helped us choosing what to order. ask for boneless meat, because otherwise the meat is too boney. big recommendation!

It was disappointing for me. Panni Purri was alright, I have had better, but this was not all bad. The disappointment came from the Claypot Rice.. it was soggy and bland, and the chicken was not well cooked. Wouldn't recommend it.

I really like it here and have visited for lunch and dinner. I tried the roti cendi, vegetable curry and mango lassi. My friend had the banana leaf chicken set. Our food was freshly prepared, served in a furnace hot clay pot and tasted divine. The guys working here always greet me warmly and are happy to see a returning customer. Highly recommended!

Banana Leaf Set with Chicken
Update 9/2023 :
Looks like the ownership has changed. Service was not good and very slow. They made the order wrong twice. Taste not as good as before. Maintaining the original review to provide context to what it was and what it is now.
Again, this is my personal view only. Do try on your own.
Original 9/2022:
Short version if you don't want to read my essay :
• excellent food
• accommodative - got my off menu tofu sambal since I'm a vegetarian
• cherry on the cake is the excellent customer service of the 2 girls manning the front. Makes you feel like you're eating at home.
Now the essay :
Now this is truly a hidden gem. They are new entry to the F&B landscape of Pantai Cenang, opening just couple of months ago.
My friend and I decided to give the place a try after being recommend by the cool boys of Kalut bar, which is just few foot steps away.
My friend had chicken Claypot rice, that too was rated as excellent by my ever picky friend, when it comes to food. I was offered off menu option given that I'm a vegetarian. The friendly girl staff offered few suggestions to make something out of tofu.
So went with her suggestion of tofu sambal with cabbage stir fry. To my amazement, the tofu sambal came in sizzling Claypot with all the hissing like a Texas rattlesnake 🤣🤣.
Cabbage was stir fried with tofu, which by itself was alright. The highlight however was the still hissing tofu sambal. It's not your standard tofu sambal, was a different style.
But spicy it was, i had to wipe off tears from rolling down my cheeks and save the embarrassment of being judged not capable of handling the heat.
Don't get me wrong, I love spicy food and it will look like I was not enjoying the food with glassy eyes. The truth however, is quite the opposite. I immensely enjoyed the food, it was a knock out of the park.
Combination of their version of tofu sambal and cabbage stir fry was an excellent combination.
What topped it however was the service. I'm telling you the girls serving customers in front are going to bring this place to greater heights. They are the true embodiment of MH (Malaysian Hospitality). They were like constantly checking on us if we needed anything else such as appalam, etc. The standard restaurant will give you 1, then if you ask more then you'd probably get away with another. But these girls were like giving us 2 everytime we asked for appalam, no hesitations.
I truly felt like I went to a close relative's house and was served food cooked by family.

Very good food! The curries have a lot of flavor and are packed with spice(you can adjust to your preference). Portions are a good size, I couldn't finish mine. Fast & friendly service. Great value for the prices, walk out of your resorts to try this little gem.

Vegetable Curry and Roti Canai
Absolutely amazing banana leaf dinner, so many flavours going on with 3 different sauces, 3 different vegetable types.. I added chicken to it (you can add any kind of meat or tofu as banana leaf is vegetarian). Fantastic for vegetarians.
Great staff, friendly and accomodating. Can sit inside or outside.
Also tried Chicken Varuval, a southern Indian dry style dish, amazing flavours, really delicious.
Definitely highly recommend.
