Syazwan VS Awadeen- Indian Season

New Year and new places where Fan food and I never been to together.


Last year, we have never review on Indian restaurant but doesn't mean that we didn't eat Indian dishes at all but it is more to takeaway rather than dine in. However, Indian season has kick in this month and we went to 2 Indian restaurants in the capital that must be write in here.


We went to Syazwan cafe & catering and we had ordered Briyani chicken rice, Beef rendang, plain roti and sweet & sour prawn. Let me starts with Briyani rice; the spices in the rice is just right for me, good portion of rice, chicken and pickles but no boiled egg. The rice is abit hot for me but not to Food fan, so I guess it depends to individual.


The beef rendang sauce was good just like local rendang hitam but this one has sauce and I am not sure about the tenderness of the beef but I believe it was ok as Food fan did not complaint about it.

Sweet sour prawns was delicious; we can taste the sweetness of the prawns flavour in the sauce and more importantly is the prawns are fresh.


To roti fan, if you are looking for fluffy texture roti then you should go to Syazwan.. incredilbly nice compared to other Indian restaurants in the capital.


Now, let's go to Awadeen restaurant. We ordered the same except the sweet & sour prawns because they don't have it. The Briyani chicken rice was no much different from Syazwan except it was not hot and it has boiled egg. The portion wise much lesser than in Syazwan but even so Food fan still prefer Briyani at Awadeen.

First thing cross into our mind when we tasted the beef rendang was it taste like canned beef rendang. Obviously, we still prefer in Syazwan so as the roti. Although it was less oily but the texture was not light.


We still choose Syazwan over Awadeen not only because the above factors but also they do varieties of Indian dishes including the sweeet desserts such as Ladoo/Laddu and top of everything my favourite Vaade (hope i spell it right)...
