"Lyn’s Thandoori, which is named after Mohanan’s wife Lyn, recently received the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, the second year they have won the recognition. TripAdvisor gives certificates to businesses that are ranked in the top 10 per cent worldwide based on travellers’ feedback.
In addition, the restaurant had also received the Sarawak Hornbill Tourism Awards 2011/2012 for Nominee Outstanding Food Outlets Category from Sarawak Tourism Board."
That's according to The Borneo Post, ref: http://www.theborneopost.com/2014/07/20/award-winning-lyns-thandoori-restaurant-serves-up-extensive-menu-of-fresh-indian-cuisine/#ixzz4901C36JYI checked Tripadvisor as well, and found that the reviews were mixed. Anyway, we headed there for lunch after work. Aside from us, there was only a group of Koreans dining there.
Because there were only 2 of us, we only ordered 3 items to share - a Kashmiri Naan, a Kerala fish curry and a mutton Briyani. The food took a while to wait, and while waiting, we enjoyed our drinks with papadams and chutney.
Kashmiri Naan
The Naan was thin and crispy and filled with dried fruits, it was rather pleasant to eat. Quite pricey though, at RM9.00.
Kerala Fish Curry, RM17.00 per portion
We asked for the fish curry to be less spicy. We both enjoyed the play of flavours in the curry, which had a good consistency. Tenggiri or Spanish mackerel fillet was used, and there were a minimal of 4 or 5 bite-sized pieces of fish in the curry.
Mutton Briyani, RM18,00
Finally, the mutton Briyani had a whole chunk of mutton embedded in the rice. S found the flavours of the rice to be too robust for her liking, telling me that it tasted "strange". Indeed it was a little strong in taste, but I found it to be quite delicious! The meat was tender enough to come off the bone easily; eating the meat together with the rice was immensely satisfying.
We paid RM58.20 for our meal, I enjoyed the ambience and service. Will come back.
