Restoran Jaya AGD Jalan Gottlieb – Affordable Indian Food

Restoran Jaya AGD is one of the brightest and most cheerful restaurants on Jalan Gottlieb that sells affordable and tasty Indian food.

Compared to other Indian restaurants, this eatery at the corner shop lot draws regulars to its tasty food.

The menu is simple, but there are many curries, Tandoori, naans, roti, Chapati, Thosai, cakes, ice cream, toast, and eggs!

List of Restoran Jaya Outlets

There are several Jaya Restaurants in Penang.

Food and travel go hand in hand, so I make it a point to try as many restaurants from the same brand before deciding on my favorite.

While many of my friends tell me the importance of trying new food and new restaurants, I like to spend time at my favorites.

Restoran Jaya (Jalan Tengah)

The first Jaya I visited was Restoran Jaya, Jalan Tengah, and Bandar Bayan Baru, where I would go tapao Thosai and curries.

I used to drive all the up to Bayan Baru to get my Thosai and curries.

Please don’t ask me why I would drive 15km to buy dinner.

The simple answer is that my family and I like food.

After discovering the outlet here, I sometimes drop by to pick up some Thosai and curries.

I’ll pick up some Roti Bengali at Patchee Bakery nearby to eat with the overnight curry for lunch the next day.

Restoran Jaya AGD Sdn Bhd (Seberang Jaya)

I would go for their banana leaf rice with decadent curries and that Onion Raita.

There is onion raita and Indian Onion Raita to go with your Biryani so well that you’ll remember it for years after you had it.

While you can make it home, there’s no hard and fast rule for a budget-friendly condiment.

It can be made in less than 5 minutes with only five ingredients: onions, yogurt, green chilies, salt, and cilantro leaves for garnishing.

There are a few essential ingredients that you already have in your pantry.

The perfect Onion (Pyaaz) Raita needs only sugar and salt to taste.

This condiment makes your Biryanis, Kebabs, and Butter Chicken sing!

Restoran Jaya AGD Sdn Bhd (Penang Road)

Whenever we attend a workshop at Cititel Penang, one of our natural eating spots is the nearby Kopitiam or Jaya Restaurant across the road.

A convenient car park is next to it if you’re driving by, but it can be expensive after the first hour.

The Jaya Restaurant is clean, and the service is fast.

One of the items we tried I enjoyed was the dry Mutton Curry.

Ever since I started walking in the Botanical Gardens, I would go to Restoran Jaya AGD on Jalan Gottlieb for my meals.

I was pleasantly surprised the first time I went with Mala – after a workshop at the Penangpac.

I enjoyed the new food experiences.

The food was great; we had Thosai and Bru Coffee.

The service was efficient and friendly.

It was a clean, safe place to hang out at night in a pleasant environment.

After that visit, I returned to try various items alone and with friends.

There is plenty of Variety at Restoran Jaya AGD

Aside from the good, tasty food, I like the variety.

Depending on how busy the restaurant is, the servers are quick, and food is served quickly.
The staff is good, and they do not waste time on chit-chat.

Sometimes, they may appear a little slow, but they check on orders from Food Delivery.

Several motorcycles are parked outside, waiting for the kitchen to prepare the meals.

Breakfast /Tea Sets at Restoran Jaya AGD

While many think that traveling the world for food is what food bloggers do,

I beg to differ.

It is a combination of finding the restaurant or eatery that makes the best recipe for my favorite dish that appeals to me.

Kothu Parotta Chicken

The noisy dance and the sound of stir-frying Kothu Parotta from a distance will tempt you to order the snack.

Kothu Parotta is a popular South Indian street food delicacy sold at small restaurants.

They make it with Roti Canai, shredded into small pieces, and stir-fried with cooked Chicken and Curry.

Kothu Parotta is cooked on a large cast-iron pan, chopped, and mixed by repeatedly pounding the Roti and Chicken with heavy iron spatulas, which gives it that fantastic sound.

Rava Thosai (Dosa)

An absolute favorite is the Rava Thosai, which is made from a thin batter of sooji, rice flour, maida, and water.

They make the best Rava from a buttermilk batter spiced with onions, green chilies, herbs, and spices.

They then pour the batter on a hot cast-iron skillet for that netted effect.

The dosa is cooked to golden crisp and served hot.

Rava dosa is usually served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and chicken curry.

If you want a luxurious version, try the Rava Masala Dosa, which has the Potato Masala filling with bits of carrots and chickpeas.

Tandoori Chicken and Garlic Naan

Penangites may swear with the Tandoori Chicken from Kashmir Restaurant or Restoran Kapitan (Chulia Street) – but I find the dish at Jaya to be equally good.

Watching the Chef make the Tandoori was mesmerizing and entertaining.

The Grilled Tandoori Chicken is succulently juicy from being marinated in a yogurt and lemon spiced marinade.

The taste is smoky, and the flavors of garam masala are a perfect balance when eaten with Garlic Cheese Naan.

Sometimes, the Chicken is a little undercooked, so check and send it back to the kitchen if you prefer it to be slightly overcooked.

I feel this is too heavy when taken with a Salty and Sweet Lassi most of the time.

Recently, Pepe and Bunny introduced me to Cheese Chapati.

Chapati

Last night, we ate at home, and I craved some decent Chapatis.

Chapati is a basic unleavened bread made without yeast.

It comes with only three simple ingredients: Atta flour, water, and salt.

The Chapati is pale-brown and gritty in texture.

Every family household in India prepares a batch of fresh chapatis daily.

They cook the best Chapatis fresh.

While you can spread your favorite pickle or chutney over them, the best is with a dollop of homemade ghee.

Chapati Mushroom Roll

I like this Chapati Roll filled with curried sliced tinned mushrooms.

Sometimes, I have this as a light dinner with two vegetarian side dishes.

Cheese Chapati Add RM2.00

All that is needed is some processed cheese slices in a folded Chapati that makes a great roti.

Restoran Jaya AGD Tasty and Fresh Food

The food at Jaya is freshly prepared.

Other restaurants have ready-fried meats and seafood.

At Restoran Jaya AGD, marinated Chicken, fish, prawns, and squids are ready to be deep-fried when you order.

The assortment of ready-cooked dishes, with each one tasty and freshly cooked.

Every time I go for dinner, I see the kitchen sending out freshly prepared and stir-fried vegetables.

I am not a Nasi Kandar fan; I prefer Chapatis and Rotis.

I usually order my meal to be served banana leaf food if I take rice.

Restoran Jaya AGD Review

Few patrons realize that the upstairs (first floor) is available for quiet dining.

You can fill your plate in Nasi Kandar style and bring that up to enjoy it in air-conditioned comfort.

It is less crowded and spotless.

The washrooms are on the first floor and are spanking clean, dry, and smell fresh.

Your taste buds and budget will love you for it.
