The promo dinner at RM15 is still on and worth it Came and try out their promo dinner set Banana leaf, 3 veges and rice free flow, come with one drink and one meat of your choice for RM15.... Craving for roti and fried chicken. Back again as their chicken and fish are all freshly fried. We usually have fried chicken and quail, sometimes fish also. Currently they are having promotion on their banana rice. For RM15, 3 vege and rice which are refillable, one helping meat, be it be chicken or fish etc and one drink..... 4 months ago This place still going strong, however with work force problem, sometimes the service lacking. If come when the place is not too busy then is not a problem. Food still good but prices have gone up, but then cannot be help with our inflation. 4 years ago Good banana leaf rice. Have dhal, fish and chicken curry. Usually will go for their fried chicken whole drumstick, fried quail, fried fish (many types of fish), fried fish eggs. Sometimes will go for roti Canai and thosai...

One of the best banana leaf luncheon you can get. Staffs are very friendly, even the person who carries the tray of one coconut, one carrot and one apple promotes any language barrier in case no one understands that they also serve fresh coconut, orange and apple fruit juice!

Still the simplest & non pretentious banana leaf meal. Quite authentic south Indian dishes. Staffs are friendly & quite attentive. To the management, only suggestion is about time to add some more varieties. Keep progressing.

Went for the 1st time with my good friend from Perlis since he recommended. Indeed the best banana leaf I ever tried in my life. So the second time went with my wife for lunch and now looking forward for the third time and so on. Things just occurred within a week. I hope and highly appreciate if the KCH management could put up a statement or display Halal certificates of their poultry and sheep meet supplier. That will really comfort many of muslim customers. Thank you.

Restoran Kanna Curry House, Petaling Jaya It was one of the best banana leaf Indian food I've ever had. The dishes taste great, especially the Indian green chutney. It's quite special in here. Service is good and quite fast. They have plenty of staff to serve you. However, the environment is not so comfortable, plus the hot weather. Fan was not so strong. So doesn't help much. Hope they can improve on that. Overall, the food is recommended and it's a good place to satisfy your Indian food craving.
