Raj's Banna Leaf - Semantan

First came in my mind, the resto I used to in Brisbane and Guangzhou,Shanghai, Beijing or Chinas’ Banana Leaf Restaurant chain per se with the singing waitstaff. Let’s leave that to another page.<br/ <br/ Well, it’s a brunch treat. Hahaha, dishes in banana leaf? Incredulous... but it’s for real! First time so I’m so excited to dig in. Though my belly is screaming for some toast, a bowl of muesli or an omelette as it’s kinda early, have to try and be thankful for the treat and the grace. <br/ <br/ Service was quick and it suddenly the place became so crowded. Oh, just ate quarter of the rice, it’s delicious but too heavy really too early for rice. Dishes were sapid(though I’m still thinking in which particular authenticity the food belong- as not particular authentic cuisine, tending towards a generic Indian/ Malay)and nominal fare. I will not hesitate to have another meal here again.

Should plan your visit carefully cause the place are quite packed and you would have to turn several times to find a good parking spot. but 5/5 for the food

Considered the newest of them, Raj has some serious competition when it comes to banana leaf rice. Nirvana and Devi's have been around for so long that it certainly would take Raj a lot to even be considered as an option. At RM 8 each, you get the standard fare of rice (1 choice only), a vegetable, fried gourd and cucumber salad with 2 pieces of appam (I know because 4more would cost your 40cents). Maybe it's been a while since my last banana leaf meal or the rain was adding to my hungriness that I felt Raj was a worthy contender to some of the best banana leaf restaurants in the Klang Valley.

Good place to try traditional tamil dishes . We had masala onion dosa and milo iced milk . Chatni and sambhar was also delicious. Chicken 65 was also good .

Busy busy place. We got a banana leaf, roti canai, Teh tarik and a masala dosa. I didn't really enjoy the banana leaf but it was quite interesting to see. <br/ <br/ The banana leaf is beautifully laid out with all the toppings and side dishes. Roti was ok. My favourite was the masala dosa. The dosa itself wasn't crispy but what saved it was the delicious filling and the coconut chutney. Definitely worth getting again.
