Bhai Jaan's — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

I want to give five stars. The experience was fantastic. A few small things pushes it down a bit, but we definitely look forward to returning.

We came in a recent evening and had a variety of dishes.

The Palak was easily the best I'd ever had before, despite being quite salty and a bit heavy on the extra fat.

Similarly, the Pulao was delicious, but again somewhat saltier than our tastes.

The Pakora were great and the Gol Gappa were amazing. I was a little confused about the serving style for the Gol Gappa. It seemed like the liquid should be inside? The regular red sweet sauce was great. The sour green sauce was impossible to eat with how sour it was, and I love sour.

The garlic naan was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

The Kashmiri Chai and Masala Chai were delightful all around. The Kardak Chai was great, but I would have loved a bit stronger spicing in addition to the strong tea.

The Mixed Lassi was perfectly balanced. Absolutely wonderful. The Jus Epal was fresh and refreshing in a way that many places struggle to do right.

The Gulab Jaman (I keep trying to spell this Jamun instead) was the exact right level of sweetness. My wife in particular often finds it too sweet elsewhere, but this was perfect.

The housemade rusk biscuits are a wonderful spiced flavour and I strongly considered getting some to take home.

On the service side of things, the server was amazing. One server for a packed restaurant with I think two large parties and he was managing expertly.

We did get our drinks long after the food, for the most part, but any delays of that sort were quite understandable, and the overall timing was still quite impressive.

%%%%%

The restaurant was quite full but was well-planned out. It felt a little tight but not crowded. Pretty much on point for cosiness, and the design was great.

%%%%%

All in all, an amazing dinner with a small handful of very minor things to fix.

@bhaijaansmy #kotadamansara 📍This Pakistani and North Indian restaurant gotta be on your radar!

🌟They use fresh, good quality ingredients delivering dishes with delightful flavours and most of all, non greasy, makes for a healthier delicious experience. All the dishes are make to order, so it takes awhile to be served. The four founders from England are passionate and dedicated in delivering the best dining experience for everyone.

🌟Started off with Gol Gappa crunch, that’s a little party in the mouth, you craved for more! 🌟Achari Chicken with tender chunks of meat bathe in spicy, a tad tangy sauce. 🌟Not to be missed is the Cheese Naan stuffed with mozzarella cheese, that’s airy, and addictive (most of the time is too greasy). 🌟Roghani Naan that gives a delightful chewiness and sesame aroma. 🌟Chapli Beef Kebab perfectly grilled, a lil crisp on the outside, moist within with delightful savoury mouthfeel. 🌟I also enjoyed the Tandoori Platter with Chicken Seekh Kebab, Fish Tikka, and Chicken Tikka Boneless that’s my favourite, all came in lightly seasoned with smoky aroma. 🌟Mutton Biryani is impressive, the meat is fork tender in fluffy rice hidden beneath lies harmonious symphony of spices to be mixed. 🌟Kashmiri Chai is light with nutty taste served with delicious crunchy cake rusk. 🌟Mango Lassi, the best lassi I had, made from fresh mango purée with natural fruit sweetness, creamy, is brilliant! 🌟Pistachio Kulfi that’s insanely decadent, creamy, bursting with nutty goodness but not overly sweet, Omg! You will love this place .

I am a lover of biryani rice and decided to give this Pakistani version a try today

Ordered the chicken biryani RM20 which comes in biryani gravy to be mixed with biryani rice. The rice texture was firm and fluffy which absorbed the biryani gravy loaded with spices filling your mouth a satisfying taste of northern style spices. Hints of tomatoes, cumin, coriander exudes with each bite. You can tell the waiter the level of spicy hot level of the biryani gravy. I chose medium hot spicy and the tingling spice worked up to my nostrils and head. What a rush. The chicken meat portion was generous but I found it too dry for my liking. I wish the next time I visit the chef can make the chicken meat really tender to melt in your mouth. I was pleasantly delighted to have a few pieces of super tender mutton in my biryani.

I added the masala tea to go with my meal and it came with a free cake rusk. The cake rusk was awesome bursting with a nice blend of aromatic brown sugar. The cake had a grainy texture with air pockets which gave a scrumptious experience. The masala tea was too strong. I felt it needed more milk or they need to improve the blend to give the right kick taste

Overall, the biryani rice was delicious experience and will order the tender mutton version in my next visit

The staff are very friendly and service is...
