Chettiar's Tiffin Café — Restaurant in George Town

I decided to come here after sitting at Ananda Bawan further down the street at the corner for 5 minutes amidst the crowd and wait staff ignoring me, i decided walk out and came into Chettiar's more welcoming environment.

Not only was Chettiar's Tiffin Cafe welcoming, the customers there seemed smiley in general and smiled at each other.

I had ordered the South Indian Combo (1x Paratha, 1x Idly, 1x Dosai at RM4.50 ) the flavours of all these staples were so good that i ordered a Ghee Dosai (RM3.50) after that.

The Masala Tea was also lightly balanced. Good for those who can't take too much spice in their tea.

The restaurant was tastefully decorated and lit, with aircon and outside areas. Music is tastefully chosen, light contemporary Tamil and Hindi songs. The furnishing was surprising with marble tables and classic heavy wood chairs with etching.

I really enjoyed my visit here.

Third visit update: this time we had vegetable biryani and kokkum chicken dry . Kokkum chicken dry taste like chicken Manchuria, not sure what kokkum chicken dry should really taste like. Both tasted good. We went during lunch time on a Saturday afternoon,and still...

Ordered grab food from this restaurant yesterday and had the worst experience ever. After waiting for more than an hour, the order was still in kitchen and the delivery time kept getting later and later. In between this, I called the rider and I didn’t get any reply and he didn’t pick up when I called him. Later the rider got changed to another person. So I contacted grab and cancelled the order because I couldn’t wait any longer. Right after that, a man from this restaurant called me and scolded me for cancelling the order after the food is prepared and accused me for not being patient. He also said that I only waited for 30 mins. A very bad experience as I waited so long for my food, didn’t get any food in the end and got scolded by...
