What User doesn't like about Vel Indian Kitchen And:
Food was good only bad dish was the lamb chops which had good flavour, but for the price they were too thin and were very burnt. Also the service was not good, there was only 1 guy taking the orders, serving the food and cleaning tables. The starters took about 20-25 minutes to arrive, which is too long for the dishes ordered. At least two people are needed at the front- not just one. View all feedback. What User likes about Vel Indian Kitchen And:
Through a very long measure the best South Indian food we had outside India or Malaysia. A meal here is like an evening trip to the Indian districts of Kelang or Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur. The aromas are rich and authentic and the staff is hospitable and attentive. Excellent to all numbers. View all feedback.
