Kapitan Tandoori House Macalister Road — Restaurant in George Town

The first time we came here for lunch, and we both had the tandoori naan set. The tandoori was delicious and so well flavoured. It had a nice spice kick too. The service weren't great - they weren't rude at all but just very busy and to be fair we went during the lunch rush.

Guys!, please avoid this shop at any cost. My bill was around 44RM. I suggest, find another...

objectively good north indian fare, and the best meal within walking distance of the hospital. the palak paneer, masala bendi and other vegetarian selections are about as good as it gets. ditto the various breads. try the kashmiri naan if you're in an adventurous mood.

the butter, tandoori and tikka chickens are a good change of pace. you don't need to be a carnivore though, especially in this place.

the fly in the ointment is the parking, which is a mess. your best bet is to park in the hospital parking structure, which has...
