Whenever i craved for Indian food, i would search for affordable ones with clean environment. Sorry to say, but i'm abit skeptical when dine-out at Indian restaurants. Not being prejudice here, but i don't trust the hygiene standards when the restaurant is run by Indians/Bangladeshi/Nepali. This explains why i m so unadventurous with Indian cuisine, but once I found a decent place, I would stick to it.
This restaurant at Jalan Puchong would be one of them. Looking at how clean and neat the place is, i m assured that their kitchen wouldn't be that bad.
During my first visit, i tried their claypot curry chicken with banana leaf rice. It was a set meal. The curry chicken is cooked till soft (almost fall off the bones)...so, that's fine. Overcooked is better than undercooked. This dish is packed with spice....definitely must eat with rice to tone down the spiciness.
It wasn't that fiery hot, but the curry & spices kick in when eaten hot.
Give it a good stir to cool down before eating, otherwise it would burn your lips.
Here's the full set with rice, papadam, a hard boiled egg and 2 vegetarian side dish (potatoes and acar).
This set costs RM19nett. It came with a dessert.
On another visit, I had the tandoori chicken rice which is served with cucumber salad, dhal curry and mint chutney. There is also a hard boiled egg and papadam.
During my third visit, I decided to try their claypot mutton curry. Generous servings of mutton which were cooked till soft. Unfortunately the mutton was abit gamey.
Nevertheless I still finish the mutton...The price for this mutton curry set meal is somewhere RM23 or RM24nett.
As for dessert, i had sago in coconut milk once, but if the original dessert runs out they would serve ice-cream instead.
So far, i have not experience any stomachache or discomfort after eaten such heavily spiced meal in this restaurant, so i guess the level of spiciness is still tolerable.

LOL! I also share the same sentiments as you regarding hygiene especially after watching viral videos that have been circulating on social media.
The place looked neat and clean. Most important is hygiene. My friend and her son and son's girlfriend were hospitalised over weekend for food poisoning. Eaten in a restaurant prior that. Really unfortunate.
I like Indian cuisine but can't have often. Sinful. Lol.
Did you visit their kitchen? Perhaps you would want to visit fatty Mixed Rice kitchen too. The cooks may not be local in the chapfan eateries in Sri Petaling.
PH: yes, those viral videos, it may not serve justice to all other eateries but is enough to put me off to visiting most Indian restaurants.
Rose world: too much spice for my body to handle if have it too often, i can't either.
Mun: My judgement on the restaurant hygiene is not based on whether the workers are locals/migrants but rather the cleanliness of the surroundings/utensils/handling of food.
I'm not a health inspection officer, so that isn't necessary to visit their kitchen. These days, I hardly go to Fatty mixed rice nor any chapfan stall ever since i saw someone sneezing/coughing right in front of the dishes. Local chapfan is totally out of my choice now, unless it is handled by the seller (like in SG) with a glass panel separates the dishes from being exposed to public.
