Restaurant Dhiyaz Curry House, which opened its
doors in April, is one of the newer additions to the growing list of eateries
in the now-popular Bandar Rimbayu area. Located at No. 20, 1/3, Persiaran
Rimba, 42500 Bandar Rimbayu, Kuala Langat, Selangor, it’s a relatively short
drive from our place in Kemuning Greenville, Kota Kemuning. We left at 11.00
a.m. and arrived by 11.15 a.m. on a Tuesday.
Walking in, we
noticed three customers having their meals. The ambiance was welcoming - clean,
brightly lit with yellow walls, and accented with a touch of Indian décor. No
menu was handed out. Instead, we walked to the food counter and, from the
decent spread available at that hour, we opted for two side dishes to go with
our South Indian banana leaf lunch (RM11.90 each).
Service was
swift. Banana leaves were laid in a flash, and topped with four varieties of South
Indian-style cooked vegetables. Then came the rice question - pachai arisi
(white raw rice) or pulunga arisi (parboiled rice)? We went with the parboiled,
which we personally find pairs better with South Indian banana leaf meals, as
it complements the bold and robust flavours.
For the
curries, my husband opted for fish curry while I went for Tanni Saar/Dal cooked
with sweet leaves (TANNI SAAR RECIPE) Shortly after, our side dishes arrived - Fish Podimas/Meen Puttu (FISH PODIMAS RECIPE) (Indian-style flaked stir-fried fish, RM10.00) and Mutton Kuzhambu (PEPPER MUTTON CURRY RECIPE), (mutton
curry, RM15.00).
About 10 minutes later, the rest followed: crispy papadam, a
spicy chutney, moor milagai (fried yogurt chilli), rasam (peppery Indian soup),
and moor (South Indian spiced buttermilk). For drinks, we both had warm water
(RM0.30 each).

veggie dishes.)
A special
mention goes to the generous portions of the vegetable sides and rice - even
though we requested only half portions, plus the unlimited curry refills, which
is standard at many banana leaf eateries. We finished our meal in about 15
minutes, packed up the leftover Fish Podimas, paid RM49.40 in total, and left.

generous veggie portions.)
It was an
experience dining at Restaurant Dhiyaz Curry House, and we’re glad we gave it a
go. A hearty and filling meal that satisfied our hunger. Will we return?
Probably not. With the growing number of eateries in Bandar Rimbayu,
we’re more inclined to continue our food spotting elsewhere. For a total of
RM50.00, it was a decent meal, but we believe there are other spots nearby that
might offer a bit more value or variety for the same price.
