Our take: Cafeela Roti Prata & Seafood Restaurant, located in the historically significant Jalan Kayu prata stretch, presents a mixed bag for diners.
While some older reviews praise the "excellent" Curry Fish Head and "good" roti prata, more recent feedback points to a decline in prata quality.
We note complaints about plain prata being "very oily and with a sweet glaze" or "tough," and egg prata described as tasting like an "overnight piece." Prices for prata, such as $1.70 for plain and $2.70 for egg, are considered high given the perceived drop in standard.
Service can also be an issue during busy periods, with reports of long queues and uncleared tables, particularly for supper.
The bright, "blinding" LED lights are also a recurring point of discomfort.
The Teh Tarik and consistently spicy curry are mentioned as potential saving graces.
We think this spot is best for those specifically seeking the Curry Fish Head or a late-night supper option, but be prepared for potential inconsistencies in prata quality and service during peak times.
It's a reliable everyday option for some, but not a destination meal for prata purists.
