Cafeela

It was FT's birthday and we were having about a dozen guests at our place. After some deliberation, it was felt that having some Northen Indian cuisine from Cafeela would be a refreshing change. So PT and I drove down to Jalan Kayu to order and pack back the food.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. When they heard that the food was for a party, the waiter who took our order assured us that he would add extra curry for the guests to soak up the Naan. In fact, we returned with 2 large containers of Fish Head and Mutton curries as well as extra packs of chicken curry and dahl.

The spread did look impressive when we finally laid it out on the dining table. Here's a list of what was ordered: 3 different Murtabaks ($10 - $15), assorted Pratas ($1each), Garilic and Butter Naan ($1.50 each)Prawn Salad, Raita ($2), Tandoori Chicken ($20 for whole chicken), Fish Head Curry ($18), Mutton Curry ($4 per portion), Briyani ($4.50) ,

Have a closer look at the butter and garlic naan. Slighty chewy but extremely aromatic and highly addictive. I could just eat it on its own.

The tandoori chicken was moist right up to the bone and delicately seasoned. We ordered a whole chicken and I was pleased to see that a rather large bird was served. What I enjoy about Cafeela's chicken is that you can eat as much as you wish without feeling 'jelak'.

Here's the mountain of Murtabak that we ordered: mutton, remix (mutton and chicken) and combo (seafood).

Some sinfully oily curries  The Fish Head Curry, at an $18 promotion, was a steal.

Extra servings of Mutton Curry, robust and gamey.

And finally, fragrant Bryani rice.

For dessert, we had extremely  lemak homemade gula melaka egg tarts - deserving of a blog all to itself.
