AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
The single most-praised dish is the "Mas buriha," which Mark Wiens highlights with palpable enthusiasm, while the overall vibe is one of genuine, unpretentious discovery.
“This is mas buriha, a curry composed of thick chunks of tuna fish. You tear up roti onto your plate, pour on the curry, add egg, mix it all together. The curry is really nice, mainly chili, not that strong on other spices, maybe turmeric and chili. You want to be chasing it with some tea. Guaranteed you're going to be sweating as you eat here. The humidity, the spice. The tuna is really good, fresh tuna. Something about the roti absorbing that curry makes it so filling.”
