Sri Ganapathi Mess (ஶ்ரீ கணபதி மெஸ்)

Fast becoming an open secret, this place is housed in an actual single-storey corner lot home. Head straight to the ‘converted’ rooms (past the friendly grandma with her wok of boiling oil) for your banana leaf fix.

We always come here with a big group for food. Want to enjoy an authentic banana leaf experience? Here is the place I recommend you. Try their chicken , fish , Squid , lots of papadom & refillable vege .

Giri Dev Nair

Authentic banana leaf with quality. Go between 12-1pm to avoid missing out on best sellers! Mutton varuval and sotong curry was excellent. Slightly pricey but worth the quality.

Prem Kumar

Food was really good and fresh. The crab rasam was good as said by many. Chicken varuval was super. Podi mean was nice. Service was acceptable. Recommended!! The crab curry finished though

Anu Ravindaran

Cant stress how amazing their food here is. Surra puttu, fried calamari , local goat curry , fried mutton , crab soup...i can go on and on. Long story short , try it all and you will not regret.

Angeline Chee

Had the chicken tikka , mutton , prawn & fried fish . All very nice. Small signboard, may mistaken as house. We spent >RM70 for 3pax for food only, exclude drinks.

Amanda Wong

Rather authentic banana leaf rice . Definitely need to order the fried onion calamari , ressam, crab curry and fish . Super fulfilling after

Daniel's Daughter

You don't really know Indian food unless you have had some here! Most authentic yet in town . Crab rasam the bomb! Can be a little pricey compared to other Banana leaf rice

Venoth

Decent Banana Leaf Rice Meal . Vegearian dishes were nothing to shout about. However their Crab Rasam , Crab Curry , Prawn Sambal and Goat Intestine Perattal were very good.

Kern

Located in housing area which u can't really find the place without GPS. They only serve authentic banana leafs , I like most of the curry especially crab , chicken & fish .Warning, quite spicy ...

Virata Gamany

Awesome Banana Leaf with local mutton .. Curries are rich with spices and the mutton 's soft and tender... Mutton kodal (innards) curry is also available

AManda HUang

Authentic Indian food in a home. Spicy and tasty. They put a little saffron in their water so don't be fooled if u think it's dirty .

Mutton onion goreng and prawn goreng is the bomb! Together with morru ice to make you cool! Reasonable price for banana leaf .

Mandy Lee

The food is good but nothing too special, probably because I had a vegetarian meal . Seemed like their speciality are more to chicken , crab , lamb etc. I agree the food is authentic but really PRICEY!

Michelle Wu

Rassam, sotong goreng and mutton are as good as said. Service is fast, friendly and efficient! Such a good place for banana leaf rice .

Davendran

Crab rasem is must try.. The food here is very tasty.. Do not miss if you are looking for real Indian banana leaf food..!

Sze En

Fried chicken , crab rasam , fried sotong is nice! Friendly staff ! Recommend!

Subz Chand

Highly recommended banana leaf joint. Must have crab curry , crab rasam , mutton varuval and fried bulus fish .

Sonny Tang

The food is good overall and the prices are reasonable, not like some other nearby banana leaf rice places.

Karthik Raju

Ask for crab curry - the best in the world. Trust me. Same goes for goat intestine - very cool for your body, especially if you'd immersed your throat in whiskey during the revious night.

chingsin

Gotta get the fried onion calamari . Doubt I'd order any side dishes when I saw flies inside the shelves where they keep the food

Lane Watson

Crab resam, fried fish , sharkfin, curry mutton + bru coffee/teh makes an excellent meal

Rooban Raj Subramaniam

Steven yong Weng Hong

What to order when you are here? Crab curry and mutton varruval is a must.

michelle

Hidden gem ! Great food.Friendly staff .

MAC

Fried fish & fish curry is better than mutton curry . Try the basmati rice instead of plain rice .

Faz Kerk

Pour some tairu (yoghurt ) over rice & make the curry more yummy; the spiciness more manageable.

IMAN Sanjiv
