Our take: Al-Jalal by Habib's Rojak sits at a genuinely uncomfortable crossroads — a mamak stall with a recognisable name and a menu that looks the part (biryani, roti canai, thosai, tulang) but an operational track record that undermines it at almost every turn.
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.

What customers say
AL-JALAL BY Habib's Rojak draws sharply divided opinions, with a significant majority of reviewers expressing frustration.
The most persistent complaints centre on inconsistent and inflated pricing — one customer was charged $5 for a plain tissue prata despite it previously costing under $3, and a $4.50 curry gravy charge drew accusations of daylight robbery — alongside pre-made, cold prata served even during off-peak hours with staff reluctant to reheat.
Food quality issues are also frequently raised, including a mee goreng food poisoning report, undercooked chicken biryani with visible blood, and incorrect or incomplete takeaway orders.
On the positive side, a loyal group of late-night regulars praise the mutton biryani and chicken biryani specifically, with one reviewer noting generous extra mutton portions and another appreciating the consistent hot food during night visits.
Around the Web
I finally enjoyed the chicken biryani here at CCK AVE 7. They help to cut the chicken too. Bought the tulang for $10 but it was not tender and the gravy too little. Only realise when reach home. Will come back again for the biryani 😀
