Chappati.Com is a contemporary Northern Indian restaurant that is located at Jalan Kemajuan in Section 13, Petaling Jaya. For those who know Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant and Restaurant Fresh Unique Seafood 23, Restaurant Chappati.Com is located in between these two very popular restaurants.
From the main road of Jalan Kemajuan, that is after you turn right at the traffic lights just before Jaya33, if you go straight you will be able to spot clearly Restaurant Chappati.Com on to your left. There is jockey parking at a rate of RM5.00, which is very reasonable hence, heading there wouldnt be much of a hassle.
The restaurant will open to the public at the most appropriate timing which is on February 14, 2013, being Valentine's Day. The official opening will be on February 13, 2013, and it will be attended by the who's who in town.
Chappati.Com is anticipated to be the most talked about Northern Indian Restaurant for it will serve a variety of cuisine from Northern Indian, to fusion and western food with a touch of Punjabi flavours!
Restaurant Chappati.Com is the brainchild of four business people - siblings namely, Harmesh @ Harry and Sanjit, and their mother Madam Updesh Quar, who are the founders of Hasheel Sidhu Services, a well-known company which has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. The fourth partner is Sunil Sachdev, founder of Classic Floral Services, an event planner and decorator, and formerly from DiGi.Com Bhd.

I decided to pay a visit to the place again as they were carrying out another food tasting and this time I asked for something different to try. I started the evening with Masala Lassi, which was very thirst quenching.
I had the Masala Lassi, which for a tall glass cost only RM8.00, with Masala Papadam (crispy papad topped with spicy salad). The combination to have both at the same time may not be a good idea for some as both are very spicy but i truly enjoyed it with my eye all teary. The experience, nevertheless, was a wonder. Masala Papadam is a very tasty Indian starter. And it is a good way to also have a lovely conversation.
Next came the Paneer Makhani (cottage cheese butter masala). This traditional Punjabi Paneer can't get any better! It was rich and creamy and had strong taste of tomato puree. It went so well with the Lachha Paratha (a crispy Paratha) that I decided to have instead of the usual naan breads. But I recommend that you have both the Paneer Makhani and Lachha Paratha while they are still hot. There is no reason for it except that hot is better.
And this time, I didn't want to have too much to eat so I decided to call for the Masala Tea which, very sincerely, was the best I have had in ages. The tea and masala concentration was perfect. And if i remember clearly, the Masala Tea sells for RM4.00 which is a good reasonable price for such a fine product!
The restaurant was serving other dishes that included Chicken Tikka, Khaman (a Gujerati special), Amritsari Fish, Jeera Rice, Fish Briyani, Penne in Arabieta Sauce, Tomato Bazil Bruchetta, Mattar Paneer, Dal Makhani, Palak Paneer, Lamb Chop and Baked Vegetables Au Gratin.
Chicken Tikka is small pieces of boneless chicken baked using skewers, in a clay-based oven called a tandoor. Khaman, which was something new for me, is a food common in Gujarat state of India made from gram flour.
The mouth watering Amritsari Fish is basically fried fish prepared with lot of spices and is a popular street food of Amritsar. This fish dish is a great appetizer or side dish to complement the main course.
The key to a successful restaurant is its service, speed, quality and consistency of the food, cleanliness and how people friendly it is. In my personal opinion, Restaurant Chappati.Com has it all. The waiters, mostly from India and Pakistan are all energetic and friendly, ready with a smile. But still, give the restaurant a chance to prove itself. It is still new although the people behind it have more than 30 years of experience, combined!
Having reviewed restaurants and cafes for about 10 years, I have yet to come across any Northern Indian Restaurant that has a 5/5 rating and I do hope Restaurant Chappati.Com would be the first to be accredited with such prestige.
Chappati.Com is a Malaysian-born brand and as such, I do believe that it has great potential to grow, serving customers with fine quality food for many years to come.
