Best place to have roti kanai , for all u Indians wondering what that is, it's mangalorian coconut based gravy with potatoes , try it u will love it. Also home of the best golden fried squids !!!

Erik Cintron

In an area full of similar food in Philly's Chinatown. This was inexpensive with fast service . The Indian pancake was awesome. Had the ginger chicken with scallion . A must do if ur in the area

This is now the best 'salt-baked squid ' (aka salt & pepper squid ) in Chinatown. They call it 'golden squid .' Do not miss this!! Beef rendang & coconut rice just made me wish I could be in Malaysia.

Moe Dexler

Great menu and patient waitstaff that help explain items on the menu. Helped steer me away from making a mistake and put me on something really good instead.

The mango chicken is awesome. A little pricey , though. The rice dishes, which are a lot cheaper, are also really great. Pretty big portions , too.

Yosh Talwar

One of the best Roti Canai in the world, let alone Philly.

If you ever find yourself in NYC Chinatown, check out Nyonya . It's the same exact place as this with a different name. Their garlic chicken is definitely a must try ! Happy eating 
