Nestled in Hulu Selangor and approximately an hour’s drive by car from Suria KLCC (where the Petronas Twin Towers stand) lies the sleepy town of Batang Kali. Known for Loh Mee, hybrid orchids, waterfalls, and as a transit town to Genting Highlands, it has developed quickly due to newly opened businesses, the new influx of skilled labor, and the development of housing areas close to completion.

We started based with a belief that good Indian food should be enjoyable and appreciated by all classes of people, and serving food needs to be done with the utmost responsibility from the moment it is procured up to the moment it is served to the customer.

The business has been operating for almost 1 year 4 months, as of December 13, 2023.
