Indian Pakistani Oasis, Pantai Tengah — Restaurant in Kedah

Stopped by after a recommendation from some locals, and kind of want to give it 3.5 stars but that’s not possible.

I wanted to test this place so I went with my go-to Indian meal - butter chicken, plain naan and a sweet lassi.

The good - lassi was good, naan was very fresh and moist, without any burnt edges.

The bad - the butter chicken was disappointing. Normally made with chicken thighs, the meat I had did not taste like breast or thighs, it seemed more like some “leftover” chicken bits (unfortunately, some joints and sinew pieces were there). The sauce itself was plain, there was nothing spicy or tangy about (hint of ginger, full cream yogurt, garlic or something). It felt more like tomato paste with plain yoghurt and some tikka masala concentrate.

Service was great, atmosphere is very lunch canteen feeling (cheap seats/tables). Price was reasonable for the experience, disappointing for the food quality.

Will I try again? Probably not, I’ve found more interesting places...

Ate here yesterday and it was so disgusting we left. Firstly, took ages to get out drinks and then took a ridiculous amount of time to get the food. We had the samosas to start and they were cold in the middle and dripping in oil. I ordered the biryani and cut into it and a giant ant flew out of the dish. The chicken was grey and looked inedible. My husband had the chicken kebab and it looked fine but he couldn’t face eating it after looking at mine so we left. We have travelled Malaysia for the last three weeks and it was the WORST meal...

Pakistan cuisine restaurant with interesting tastes but food is way harder to digest than Indian of the alike variety. Food is rather hot than really spicy, like it is in India. Paratha is also darker and oily than it’s Indian counterpart . Palak Paneer (Cheese in spinach gravy) was very oily, heavy. Big portions on...
