Found this newly opened cafe which sells a good range of indian food. We tried the a few range of Tosai (the unregular ones) Loved the Beetroot Tosai, Podi Tosai & Pudina Tosai was tasty and crispy, while the Mysore Masala Tosai was just ok (taste exactly the same as normal Masala Tosai) The Karupathi Coffee was really awesome and aromatic, a must try when anyone visits. Ambience : 9/10 (Loved the 90's music) Taste : 7/10 Price : 7/10 Service : 9/10

Food is good, karupati coffee is recommended, the hiccup is too hot inside perhaps an exhaust fan will help ease the heat

Such a wonderful experience! Had lunch today at this newly opened spot in Malacca and I must say it truly felt like a home-cooked Indian meal. The food was delicious, satisfying, and full of flavor. I was so full and content after the meal, just like after eating at home. I really loved the variety of vegetarian options they offered, which is a big plus point. The cutting chai was also simply amazing. What impressed me the most was the reasonable pricing for such tasty and fulfilling food. This is definitely one of the best places in Malacca for Indian home-style lunch. The ambience of the café was beautiful and cozy too. Overall, I am very happy and I wish the team all the best and lots of success. I will surely be back!
