Betel Leaf Restaurant – 14 November 2017

In front of the restaurant

Go up the staircase and you will see this

This restaurant was established back in 2009 and has been doing very well until today. A lot of people including foreigners and expatriates will know that this restaurant serves very good Northern and Southern Indian curry dishes and don’t mind paying a bit more for the dishes here. It’s not my first time here as I’ve been here several times and not even once has the food disappointed me. I will gladly come back here again and again. This time I was here to have a farewell lunch for my colleague.

This restaurant is situated along the busy street of Leboh Ampang. This restaurant occupies the 1^st floor of the shoplot. The service of this restaurant is fast and waiters and waitresses are friendly as well.

We ordered the following:-

Vaalai Po Vadai (5 pieces) (RM10.00). This was our appetizer. One bite and you will be asking for more. Best to eat it while it’s still hot.

Brinjal Masala (RM7.00). It looked very spicy when this dish came, but it’s actually not really spicy.

Butter Chicken (Boneless) (RM15.00). This is definitely one of my favourite dishes and I really recommend this dish. The boneless chicken is quite soft and tender. The curry is super creamy and nice that after we had finished the boneless chicken, we are just enjoying the curry on its own (like drinking soup).

Chettinad Mutton Chukka (RM18.00). There was not much curry on this dish but the mutton is soft and tender as well.

Turkey Briyani (RM20.00). The rice was good with pieces of turkey inside.

Kashmiri Naan (RM7.00). If you like your bread to be slightly sweet, then Kashmiri Naan will be your choice. Raisins are on top of this naan, so when you dip it into curry, you can still taste the sweetness of the raisins.

Pudhina Paratha (RM5.00). This was also one of my favourite. Paratha with pieces of mint, simply nice.

Kulfi (RM5.00). This is a traditional Indian ice-cream. You will only get one scoop of the ice cream and it’s nice.

Although this restaurant is situated on a dirty, noisy polluted street, inside is totally different, quite clean and not noisy. If you intend to drive, parking will be a problem. You may need to find parking nearby and then walk to the restaurant.

Overall, for the above we paid RM100.70, shared among the 3 of us. If you go in a group, the price will be reasonable. But if you are alone or just 2 person, then be prepared to pay more and definitely there will be left over food. We will definitely be back again and we highly recommend this restaurant.

22 December 2017 - My farewell

My colleagues decided to bring me to this restaurant and these are what we ordered:-

South Indian Vege Meal - Thali (RM12.00). I would recommend this as a started to Indian food, if you wish to try a bit of here and there on the curries, etc.
