A decent place for Banana Leaf Rice. Food was generally good, especially the freshly fried fish. Fish cutlet lacked the fish flavours somewhat. Curries were nice and thick and fish curry and crab curry were tasty. Prices are on the high side which is expected for Bangsar area. Expect to pay over RM20 per head for rice with a meat or fish.

Their ketayap is really fluffy and fill with good amount of coconut. The best in this area. I like their nasi lemak bungkus too, tasty. Tried their rojak the other day and the sauce is a bit different than normal rojak shop but tasty.

Authentic Indian cuisine serving veggie and non-veggie. Ordered banana leaf rice with chicken varuval. The chicken they gave quite a lot for one oerson, recommended to share. Price is expectable since it's in Bangsar. Kudos to the salted fish curry though, very delicious.

Their banana leaf rice is one of the best in KL. Very reasonable price. With a variety of dishes to choose from. A myst-try...

If you're on the hunt for a breakfast spot that hits the spot, look no further than this gem! My go-to local haunt serves up a roti canai bawang that’s nothing short of heavenly. Seriously, I’ve tried roti canai at various places, but this one takes the crown for the best in the area. The flaky, buttery layers paired with the savory onion filling are very good. If you haven't made the pilgrimage here yet, do yourself a favor and swing by. Your mornings will thank you, and your stomach will be forever grateful!
