The food was good and tasty. The service and waiters are friendly. Lastly the price is reasonable. They are other dishes besides only chicken rice which to me is a plus point

The best halal chicken rice within 50 miles radius IMHO. The peanuts in the hot soup melts in your mouth. The chicken is delicious, soft and tender. Beats the chain chicken rice brand restaurants you find in shopping malls by miles. And FYI, the owner dress up like his staff to fool you. He even serves the food himself at times. Someone who is passionate about his business is always a good boss.

Honest review: 1. Food - One of the most tastiest mee curry I've tried. It might be in the spicy side for some but I considered it to be balance. Plus point to their sambal. The portion is worth on its price. The nasi ayam are tasty, me and my kids love it. The serving portion is acceptable for its price. 2. Service is good, waiters are attentive to special requests like less sugar in drinks. Cashier and waiters are friendly. 3. Parking space would be more than enough, I guess becase we arrived late in the afternoon around 5pm. Parked near Bank Islam. Noon time or rush hour might be a parking challenge. 4. Overall. It's an underrated restaurant with quality food and value for money. Dine in with family of 5, and wish to be back again.

Went for a late lunch. Quite packed though. Service was fast. The Nasi Ayam was excellent especially the rice and sauces. Spicy. Ordered their Mee Hokkien as well as Mee Wantan. Both were delicious. Price wise, I can say are affordable if compare with the portion sizes. Overall, I like this place. Tasty dishes.
