AL-JALAL BY Habib’s Rojak

The recurring complaints are too consistent to dismiss: prata pre-made in batches and served cold, staff reluctant to reheat, and — most damning — pricing that appears to shift depending on who's at the counter.

One reviewer was charged $5 for a plain tissue prata that had previously cost under $3; GrabFood lists the same item at $4.73.

Removing visible price lists doesn't help the trust deficit.

The $7 chicken biryani has drawn blood-visible chicken complaints, the $8 soup kambing arrived without bread, and a $4.50 curry gravy charge for dipping drew sharp reactions.

There are genuine fans — particularly late-night regulars who report hot food and occasional goodwill gestures — and the mutton biryani gets warm mentions with generous portions.

But the gap between best-case and worst-case visits is too wide for a reliable recommendation.

Best suited for late-night regulars already in the neighbourhood who know the menu cold — everyone else should approach with low expectations and verify prices before ordering.
