Restoran Karai Kudi Ganesan Mess (Banana Leaf Rice) – 8 September 2017

Such a long name for a banana leaf restaurant. Also, it was not really easy to find this restaurant as there are so many along the busy street of Leboh Ampang. This restaurant is on the 1^st floor of an Indian prayer shop. Once you see the sign, you need to walk up to the 1^st floor and you will see a crowded restaurant. We were fortunate that we were able to find a table and seats during their busy lunch hour. 

Entrance to the restaurant. Just walk up

You sit down and let the waiters know what you want, i.e. banana leaf, white rice, Indian rice or Biryani rice. If you choose banana leaf, they will place a banana leaf in front of you, scoop out 3 types of assorted vegetables, Indian/ white/biryani rice and a poppadum, with complimentary water or you can order your own drinks at a reasonable price.

Inside the restaurant. As you can see, not many tables and chairs

Then, they will bring the chicken or fish curries to you and serve you small dishes of meat, fish and eggs. All you need to do is choose your plates.

Choose your plates

I decided to order chicken and omelet. I was also given complimentary Rasam.

My meal, 3 sides vegetable dishes, 1 chicken and 1 omelet

Rasam

Poppadum. Normally you will only be given 1. If you want more, you need to request.  

Dried chillies ( you need to request for these) if you need your food to be spicier

The whole meal together with syrup only cost me RM13.00 and it’s so worthwhile, with tasty Indian food that managed to fill my hungry tummy.  

A waiter will come over to your table and give you the bill. He will assess what you have ordered.

After your meal, bring your bill to the cashier and make payment

The service in this restaurant was good and fast. Waiters are quite attentive. 

I suggest that if you want to come to this restaurant, don't drive. Just take the LRT and stop at Masjid Jamek, exit from the station and walk towards McDonalds. After McDonalds, you will come to a T-junction, turn left and continue walking until you see the name of the restaurant.
