If you were to buy Indian snacks and sweets in Penang, then head over to Thali-NR Sweet Cafe. This modest stall in Little India boasts of having an array of sweet and savoury Indian snacks, including modernized Indian sweets which are available only in India. The snacks are manufactured locally rather than importing. On top of that, the restaurant also serves some great Indian food such as Banana leaves and Nasi Biryani, and we were impressed by it after tried them out.
The banana leaf rice set is served in a combination of traditional and modern way. Rice is still being laid on a banana leaf, but the dishes and gravies are served in a single steel cup instead of being scooped on the banana leaf. Well, we loved every bits of the gravies here, and the dishes were delicious. If ever we felt the taste became too complicated, a bite of the picked chili will help to cleanse the entire taste buds.
Similarly, the biryani is delicious. We liked the complexity of the spices involved in the biryani rice. It gives an aromatic and distinctive flavour. The piece of sweet served along the biryani is awesome!
Banana leaf set is RM 6.90 while Biryani Set is RM 8.50.
If you are a person with a sweet tooth, then go to the sweet and snack counter, pick some sweets and enjoy it. The selection left us puzzled and had no idea what to look for, as everything seems too new to us.
