Asian Tadka indian restaurant — Restaurant in Langkawi Island

Overall A Poor Food, Over Expensive

This is going to be the most difficult review for me to write. I have never written such a review for any place till date, as far as I remember.

This review is Exclusively For People Looking For Indian Food.

What Went Wrong? Everything

I saw the Google review and took my family to this place but the first thing I noticed or understood was that the restaurant is pretty new and doesn't have any experienced staff.

The reviews seem to be completely written by friends and family. This is misleading. And I want the readers to check the poor ratings and reviews first to get a fair idea.

I ordered Veg Noodles and Paneer Manchurian and to my surprise, the restaurant manager could not understand what Manchurian is and suggested us to take Veg Jalfrezi. Final outcome, the Manchurian was nothing less than a oil filled Veg Gravy with Paneer.

Noodle was not even sufficient for a single person.

I asked for Fulka Roti and it turned out to be thick and big size roti, as big as a paratha in India. So if you are expecting a basic Tava Rati, I urge you to order 1 roti first and then order the remaining portion.

Overall, the restaurant needs a lot of work and I must tell you that the food is not anywhere close to the very basic Indian Food.

The chef has a long way to go and I suggest readers to wait till the restaurant reaches a fair bit of Reviews.

Went here after comparing other nearby Indian restaurants, expecting food that warrants a 4.6 Google rating. Unfortunately, not only was the food mediocre, but quite pricey for the small portion sizes.

The shrimp masala had only a handful of tiny prawns, the lamb biryani was predominantly rice, and the beef in the beef masala was comprised mostly of bones. Other than the cheese naan, the food left a lot to be desired for what was paid.

Service was not much better, with our plates of food actually being served to the table beside us who had arrived after my family, before the staff quickly realised their mistake. The staff themselves were uninviting and disinterested. And now while I respect the family traditions of a restaurant, there was an older lady sat in a big chair in the corner of the dining room with a stern look on her face, surveying the restaurant. This to say the least was slightly confusing and uncomfortable.

Overall, the 165 ringgit we paid for 3 plates of average, unauthentic Indian food with two sides of naan was very overpriced when compared to other restaurants in the area, and unjustified given the serving sizes. Highly recommend looking elsewhere if craving Indian cuisine, or simply looking for...

The Chicken Roll was fresh and generously stuffed, with tender chicken pieces, a slight smokiness, and just the right amount of spicy kick without overpowering the flavors. The paratha was soft yet crispy, making each bite satisfying.

Next, I tried their Tandoori, which was beautifully charred outside while staying juicy inside. The marination had the perfect balance of spices, and a squeeze of lemon on top made it even better. It came with mint chutney that complemented the smokiness really well.

Lastly, the Chaat was a delightful surprise. Crisp papdis with tangy tamarind chutney, fresh yogurt, and a sprinkle of sev made it refreshing, sweet, tangy, and crunchy all at once. It was the perfect light ending after the heavier dishes.

The service by Fiza was quick,and she was polite to understand the need and provided options, checking in if I needed anything without hovering around. The vibe was casual and clean, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal alone or with friends.

Highly recommend this place if you’re craving affordable yet flavorful Indian street-style food in a clean setting. I’m definitely coming back to try their...
