Updated on 23 Jan 2026. Crispy hot prata. Comfortable place to eat Just open so we give it a try. Prata is hot and yummy. The curry is good. Having air conditioning makes dine in more comfortable. Service was fast. The apple juice was rich and not diluted like most prata place I have ordered. Overall, great experience.
Hafiz
Aircon and comfortable seating with nice design. Make us willing to seat and relax for long time. 1. The Naan and chicken masala is so good. The chicken is grilled, so tasty and tender. Simply melt in your mouth. 2. Bomb prata also thick and delicious.
