The food is amazing, is definitely worth travelling from Singapore for this. The customer service is amazing. The shell out, thiruvilla sappadu are amazing.having their brownie, RVC and Kesari are the best way to end my lunch.
Went here randomly for dinner and had the Thiruvilla sapade with chicken and fish curry, plus a mango lassi. The curry was tasty and not too spicy—just nice. The price was reasonable and worth it for the portion and taste. The place also had a calm and pleasant environment.

I had a fantastic experience at this Malaysian curry restaurant. The flavors were rich, bold, and deeply authentic — every bite was a beautiful blend of spices and tradition. You can really taste the heart and heritage in each dish. The variety on the menu was impressive, offering something for every palate. The curry was perfectly balanced — not just spicy, but flavorful and layered. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, creating a relaxed dining atmosphere. If you're looking for a true taste of Malaysia, this place is an absolute gem. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Worth to try .. very friendly owner and staff .. really impressed with the menu too many choices , there is western , thruvilla sapade mutton , chicken , shell out , crab rice set , all types of briyani .. we ordered thruvilla sapade chicken per pax just only rm21.90 with 2 type of vegetables cabbage and cucumber raita and papadum the portion is given like for 2 pax , the curry is just nice not much spices but it will be better if the gravy is thick as mine abit watery .. for the lamb shank briyani the portion is huge the meat is very tender and flavorful, the lamb shank gravy is so thick and good .. love the tandoori chai .. definitely will recommend family and friends ..
The food was simply super. I tried their bamboo prawn briyani, kulki sarbat n ghee ice cream. I really enjoyed the prawn briyani a lot... so yummy 101/100 Ghee ice cream something new which first time I tried. The ghee taste not too strong, more to milky taste. Something interesting to try. Their service also good and fast! Overall everything is good about this shop. Definitely will be back again!
Overall, the food at this restaurant was super good and we loved every bit of it, including the dessert. The portions were generous, and the ice cream was a must-try. However, we were quite disappointed by the cleanliness of the environment. There was a sprayer used to clean the mirror left in the eating area, which was off-putting. Additionally, we found that most of the time, the waiters stayed downstairs, causing delays when we wanted to add orders. Despite these issues, the customer service was good.
