Have always patronised this shop at Jalan Kayu for their prata and Maggi goreng, and it has never failed to impress me. The food is consistently delicious and the queue is usually not too long, making it one of my go-to places.
However, during my most recent visit, the Maggi goreng was unfortunately overcooked, resulting in a much softer texture than usual. It was a little disappointing as the dish is normally one of my favourites. I hope this was just a one-off incident, as I will definitely continue supporting the shop and look forward to enjoying the usual standard on my next visit.

Prata was hot but soft, lacking any fluffy or crispy texture. Curry was good. Teh tarik decent. Overall very normal experience, no hint of the “Jalan Kayu prata” legend of years past. IMO not worth coming all the way just for this.

I used to wonder what’s so great about Jalan kayu prata, because I had only eaten at the restaurant located next to the carpark, but recently tried Thasevi for the first time. Even though it’s less crowded and smaller than the other shop, I much prefer Thasevi..
Their Masala thosai was one of the best I’ve ever had! Huge chunks of potatoes and a fantastic side of sambar with whole chickpeas.
Daal and chutneys were delicious and generous amount as well! I found it even better than those I’ve had at Little India..
Also had a double egg prata and it was also piping fresh and amazingly fluffy..
It’s no wonder this restaurant has been in business for 66 years!

Visited Thasevi Food again after more than 10 years, and it was a very satisfying experience.
Ordered the roti prata, mutton briyani and teh tarik.
🥞 Roti Prata
Texture has changed from the old crispy style to a more soft and fluffy type, but I actually enjoyed it. It’s light, not oily, with a slight crisp on the outside and absorbs the curry well. Very comforting and easy to eat.
🍛 Mutton Briyani
Impressive. The mutton was tender and not gamey, with a generous portion. The rice was fragrant, well-spiced and not too oily. A hearty and satisfying plate.
☕ Teh Tarik
Smooth and well-balanced, not overly sweet. Very enjoyable.
Overall, still a solid place for prata and briyani.
👉 No need to compare with the past — it’s still good today. Worth coming down to try.
Will definitely be back again 👍

Kinda like the atmosphere here, but the food is just above average. Since it's 24hrs, it's a good place to hang out at odd hours of the day.
The Beehoon Goreng and Mee Goreng Mutton were quite standard fare and nicely done. The prata was standard, not much of a fanfare here, as was the Thosai. The thosai was kinda moist, which I prefer more crispy. What's interesting though was that they served the chili egg sambal with the thosai which I found unique.
Odd though, tried to feed a stray cat with the kambing and it didn't want it.
