Situated at the corner lot, beside the Olive Tree Hotel and across the main road is Spice Setia. The foods are quite nice, especially the briyani. Price wise, is a bit pricey compared to other nasi kandar places. The staffs are quite friendly and nice. The place is quite small, not very spacious and have limited seatings. Often crowded during lunch time.

I was staying in the hotel near this place for the whole week and turned out I become one of the regulars in Syed The food is good with plenty of options, nasi kandar, biryani, some other Indian styled dishes are available too. The price is reasonable. The uncles serving the food were quite friendly too. This place is open 24 hrs and will get busier during weekend nights.

At last i found a 24/7 mamak place goto. At night, the place is very breezy. So far i've only tasted the roti and naan series. No heavy meal yet. Simple and satisfying. Roti susu was crunchy on the outside, a bit burnt due to high heat but generous amount of condensed milk spread evenly on the roti. Price is cheap.
