Thurkah’s Banana Leaf Restaurant

Thurkah’s in Taman Melawati has been around for ages and is a favourite amongst the locals there. It’s a banana leaf restaurant but with prices definitely lower than those famous ones in Bangsar. Packed in the mornings particularly, this is a fine example of a ‘muhibbah’ restaurant as you will see all sorts of people dining here. I once ate here when there was a whole table full of people who had just come from bootcamp. I guess they must have been treating themselves after a hard workout.
The food here is tasty; the roti canal definitely one of the better ones I’ve eaten. The dhal is nice and thick unlike in some places where it is practically like water. My favourite dish here is the Chicken Varuval and I order it without fail every time I eat here. The spices, the tenderness of the chicken… I am salivating just thinking about it.
If you are in the area and looking for good banana leaf food, give this place a try.
