Oh boy this place offers huge value. The food is super tasty, portions are generous and the atmosphere is very local. I had a rice meal . I want to go again.

Try the Masala Dosai for a filling vegetarian meal . The dosai is crisp and the accompanying dishes have the perfect dose of spice. A piping hot cup of masala tea would complete an awesome meal.

Cheen The Curious

Consistent class act. Have been our enjoying our meals here for over 30 years! Just order your favourite. Ours are thosai (masala , paper or ghee ) & onion uttapam

Shamsa Abdulrahman

Masala Dosai (good for 2) & Manchurian Gobi with Naan 👌🏼 expensive compared to the same food & quality in Dubai but authentic & really good!!

Russell Darnley

An excellent South Indian vegetarian restaurant operating in Singapore since 1947. Inexpensive . Busy between 12.30 - 1.30pm. Be prepared to share your table. Masala Dosai is outstanding.

Jason Kung

Masala Dosai, Bhaturra & Veg Curry are amazing. Best South Indian I've tasted in Singapore. They have multiple branches with the same name. Order tea with less milk for a just-about-right milk tea .

David Suescun

We had the Rice meal and other assorted dishes: delicious! I really enjoyed the flavors, very fresh and tasty, not too spicy .

Anett Illés

We tried out paper masala dosai and mysore masala dosai , both choices were generous portions and had excellent taste. Masala tea is amazing, milky and spicy at the same time.

Cheen The Curious

Vadais. Dal (or kadalai) vadai ($1.90). Mixture of toor & chana dal beans. Donut-shaped medhu vadai ($1.80/pc, $3.20 as a set of 2) is made from urad dal

If downstairs is full, go upstairs! Waiters are really lazy and not so motivated, try something new from the menu, everything I tryed was delicious ;-)

Johan Nex

We ordered Vegetarian biryani and Dosai Masala meal. Big, delicious, spicy portions. Not table ware. Eat with hands. Makes a great experience.

Cheen The Curious

Mysore Masala Dosai ($7.20). Enjoyed this new find. A different masala filling; very aromatic

Asha J

We ordered paper masala thosai , mee goreng , spicy gobi (cauliflower ) and mock chicken 65. All the portion sizes were great and everything was satisfactory.

Cheen The Curious

Masala thosai. Just the right thickness & crispiness of batter. The curry , chutney & sambar are dope!

Cheen The Curious

Spinach vadai was sizeable and filling as a snack !

Paul Farrell

Masala dosa are amazing, but everything was great. One of the best Indian and one of the best vegetarian meals ever.

Russell Darnley

Without doubt the Mysore Masala is my favourite. Unfortunately it's not available on Sunday's or before noon, make it 1.00pm to be sure.

Itamar Kubovy-Weiss

Incredibly good food. Had the biryani upstairs and it was divine.

Martin P

Good indian veg restaurant (Western point of view ). Proce range 3-12$ max including a delicious mango lassi . Dosai are impressive in size and format :-)

Suzanna Shantini

All their dishes are awesome. It's worth e price. My favorites: Paper Thosai, Paper Masala Thosai , Poori, Idly, Briyani Meals & Vadai! Not to forget, Filter Coffee ! No no no, Bru!

John Booth

A taste of India, authentic veg Indian food . Thali is very filling and the masala dosas are very good also.

Fantastic indian food . Great ingredients and a huge amount of value for the buck!

Marta

To be honest, if you are not fun of india food in general, this place will not change it. But it was interesting experiance to eat with locals :)

Sabharinath Bala

Kothu parotta is very good. Authentic South Indian sambar and chutney available, unlike the 'adulterated' ones in other restaurants .

Felix B.

Dosas are great. But the rice plate too!

A Swiss

Sooo soooo tasty!!! Loved the rice meal .

Cheen The Curious

Vadai and various fried snacks now priced at $1.50. Spinach vadai $1.80

Cheen The Curious

They hv started introducing disposable plastics☹️: cups for water, and serving bowls for sambar/chutneys

Poonam Lalka

Feels home good food. Value for money !

Dolores Loudermilk

Charming old school interior upstairs. Good dhosas and coffee .

Simon Wüthrich

Very authentic food. In business since 1947 – they sure know what they’re doing 😋

Serious Eats

Order the thosai meal served with three vegetables .

Cheen The Curious

An institution along Serangoon Rd. Founded by Mr. M Rajoo in 1947

Pavel Shimansky

Make sure you double ask the waiter whether the dish is spicy or not. Because we asked him 'no spicy ', but eventually everything was spicy . A little bit disappointed.

Natalya Mykhalova

Here is the best curry I have ever eaten!

Russell Darnley

South Indian vegetarian . Everything is excellent.
