comfy place to have you indian food fix - Edit
Just had my lunch here. Ordered their thali set (original size) and wow it was huge! Taste-wise it was good, although ive had better indian dishes before. Comfy place as it is clean and semi airconditioned. They prefer cashless transanctions.

I’ve had ghee tosai which was very good, the portion is big and the price is cheap. I’ve had also a very good mango lassi. There is free drinking water. I’ve also had some of their sweets which are really special and sooo sweet. Nice place, authentic

Not impressed - Edit
I wanted to give this place a chance since there were several good reviews, but to be honest it wasn't worth it. I had a thali: the food tasted fine, but was luke warm/cold, and I did wander when it had been cooked... This restaurant should be a pretty straightforward thing where you choose which dishes you want to have in your thali, but the staff made it all very complicated. Communication was difficult and they were not engaged/interested at all. I also think they might have overcharged me, but it was impossible to discuss... Disappointing.

Vegetarian Not Vegan - Edit
This is a really good vegetarian restaurant. I dont know why certain foreigners go inside indian restaurant and ask for vegan. Vegan is not indian. Vegetarian is indian. So please respect that when you go to an indian vegetarian restaurant.
Read morePros: Food is served fast
Cons: None that i can notice

I think, vegans respect indian restaurants, thats why they go. Why vegans go indian restaurant? Because indian cusine the best. Just try to avoid dairy product, and ask. Win-win, vegans can eat, restaurant will have more income.

Because many Indian dishes are actually vegan or can easily be made such. It has not hi g to do with lack of respect, its actually appreciation of the Indian cuisine!

Good thali - Edit
Really good thali. Totally recommend! Unfortunately it was really hard to be understood when we asked for vegan desserts. After some minutes they understood what we wanted and there was only one vegan sweet :(

Delicious and great value - Edit
The Special Thali has 5 veggie dishes, one mock meat, 3 soups, rice, chapati, poppadom, and a coconut sweet plus a choice of hot/cold tea/coffee. As others have stated the veg dishes were not that warm but the rice was piping hot. This was delicious and great value for money - very filling! Sweets very tasty too and all labelled with ingredients so can choose vegan ones. Waiters understood vegan very well.

I had the express Thali which was a really huge and filling portion. I think it was 5.50 so a total bargain! This included rice, a selection of curries, poppadom and chutney. Service was quick.

Cold food - Edit
The food was cold (like others already wrote) and looked like it was standing around for hours, which might be possible, because the guests can see the food standing around. The only warm thing was the water. And the food didn't taste good.
Read moreAnd the staff (like 5 people) were looking at me all the time, like they wanted to mug me.
It was only 8,50 Ringgits, but there is better food for that money on Penang.
I would give 1 star but HappyCow don't let me :(
Pros: Everything is vegan (they say)
Cons: Cold food, Warm water, Not feeling comfortable

Amazing prices - Edit
Ordered the Madras Thali for 7.90 RM. Had 8 different dishes, plenty of rice plus a poppadom and chapati. Tasted great too, just one or two dishes that were a little bland. Would definitely return though. Make sure to specify vegan.

Don't go! - Edit
I had veg thali set there with biryani rice, which was the worst biryani I ever had. The side dishes very tiny cold servings. The waiter heated up one of them in the microwave. No way sir! Oily, tasteless, expensive food. One of my worst Indian food experiences.. Sorry!

Just OK - Edit
The food was OK here but nothing really that special to any of the other places around. I appreciate that they seem to understand vegan and have some signs up specifying that you can customize your order to be vegan.

Great service, decent food - Edit
We went here yesterday , it's right in the heart of little India and was really busy. They have an assortment of thali meals ranging from express which includes about 4-5 dahls and veg curries with a chapsti up to a maharajah thali which had god knows how many, like 12/13, which cost 13.90. I got the madras thali which was about 8RM and this was enough to fill me. I specified to the waiter that we didn't want yoghurt. A younger chap who was the guy making the dishes came over and asked us if we were vegan as we said we didn't want yoghurt, which was really good of him and surprised me that someone would take the initiative to ask that. I assume he then only put in the dahls and curries that had no milk in. There's also a sign in the restaurant saying any food can be made vegan on request. Only thing I didn't like was one of the curries, it tastes like men's aftershave or deodorant, but I think that's Sod's law, you either like some or u don't. You can do a pick n mix / buffet type thing. Will be back to try their tofu mix veg sizzler.
