Best place to eat for NASI KELANTAN CUISINES. People at Bukit Jelutong call it Nasi Kelantan Restaurant and the cuisine really boasts nasi kelantan. Yet ,it is delicious and worth the price. A lot of people during lunch hour. This restaurant is only famous for the Nasi Kelantan. Hence, for the western food not so delicious but still can eat.

Disappointed. Went there for lunch today, out of 6 of us, only 2 meals came in on reasonable time. Another one got her food after 30 mins. No food for others until almost an hour. Not like they need to cook the meal from scratch, as the food were already precooked. Revisit - service has improved tremendously. So I am changing my review based on my latest visit. Suggest to have more noodles menu.

Regular lunch place for us working here the food never disappoints. For service timeline use your common sense, if the shop is full then expect slight delay.
