"This restaurant is located in Bandar Putra Kulai. Exactly the opposite of Kulai Hospital. This is my first visit to this restaurant on 25.2.2024 I would say one of the best Indian restaurants in Kulai. Masala Thosai with chutney and chicken gravy was superb. Thosai, idly, poori & prata are served with thick chicken & fish gravy. Cutting tea has a different kind of taste. You will love it. The price is reasonable. Service was good, Clean and nice environment. Strongly recommended for those looking for an authentic Indian breakfast in Kulai."
