About Sai Cloves

Unfiltered Malaysian street dishes and South Indian comfort cooking meet on Belmont’s High Street strip. Forget tame suburban curries—diners come here for the blistered roti canai, fragrant fish head curry, and crisp masala dosa paired with vegetable sambar and coconut chutney. Midday brings no-fuss three-curry combos ladled straight from the pots, while regular tables fill with plates of spicy nasi goreng and pulled glasses of teh tarik.

  • Malaysian and South Indian Specialties: South Indian masala dosa, fish head curry, and flaky roti served alongside street-stall Malaysian staples.
  • Curry Lunch Combos: Midday combo plates featuring three curries with distinct heat levels offer quick, no-frills value.

Why Choose Sai Cloves

Why diners choose Sai Cloves for authentic Malaysian street food and South Indian curries in Belmont

  • Uncompromised Malaysian & Regional Flavours

    Sai Cloves prepares regional street dishes like Nasi Lemak, roti varieties, and spicy curries without watering down heat or traditional profiles.

    Not dumbed down for westerners, this would not be out of place in the back streets of KL.

  • Authentic South Indian Favourites

    Patrons rely on the kitchen for traditional South Indian specialities like crisp masala dosa served alongside coconut chutney and vegetable sambar.

    Our most favourite and only place to get Masala Dosa in town! Consistently delicious, served with a coconut chutney and veg sambar

  • Nostalgic Comfort

    Visiting brings a reassuring sense of nostalgic comfort through long-standing recipes that transport guests back to childhood street eats.

    The Mee Goreng here is technically what made me fall in love with mee goreng as a kid, so theres a lot of nostalgia there too.

Before you head over

Practical guidance for ordering, timing, and dining at Sai Cloves

  • Customise your lunch combo

    Check lunchtime combo options for multi-curry sets where you can select specific meats and heat levels suited to your spice tolerance.

  • Factor in delivery wait times

    If ordering delivery through third-party platforms, plan ahead as actual preparation and arrival times can take significantly longer than the initial portal estimate.

  • Dress for casual and outdoor seating

    Expect a straightforward, casual space without formal dining frills, with staff offering outdoor heating when the weather turns cool.
