Some of the best Indian we've had in Malaysia. The naan and roti we're cooked to perfection. Both the chicken tikka masala and the chicken pepper masala were delicious though on the small size, so we also ordered the nasi lemak ikan bilis, which was also really yummy. We both ordered drinks and the bill was only 34 ringgit. Can't wait to come back and try more of their food.

At Yassin Curry House, Tawau, the Nasi Arab is legendary. The fragrant rice, paired with supremely tender, flavourful chicken and aromatic curry/ chilli paste, is an unforgettable feast. It's perfectly complemented by the local cendol, a refreshing blend of icy sweetness that makes the meal complete. A truly iconic Tawau duo.

Great curry house with a huge menu and amazing prices. Great options for vegetarians which you will struggle to find elsewhere in Tawau. We came here for breakfast and dinner because it was so good. Don't miss out on trying roti canai and half boiled eggs a Malaysian deliciousy which never disappoints!
