Vanakam India Eko Botanic Johor Bharu — Restaurant in Iskandar Puteri

2 March 2025

Today, we dined at Vanakam India Eco Botanic and were once again delighted by the exceptional experience. I savored the Konggu Naadu Chicken Briyani, while my wife enjoyed the Konggu Naadu Mutton Briyani. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of the Konggu Naadu region.

To our pleasant surprise, we were offered a complimentary Konggu Naadu Paayasam for dessert. The texture and taste were simply mind-blowing—a perfect sweet finale to our meal.

The service, as always, was impeccable. The staff were respectful, polite, and highly attentive to the needs of their guests. Their dedication to providing an outstanding dining experience is evident.

Without hesitation, we award Vanakam India Eco Botanic another well-deserved 5-star rating.

………………………………………………………………………… (4months ago) I have been a regular at Vanakam India Eco Botanic, and I must say, it never disappoints! The variety of food on the menu is incredible—there’s always something new and delicious to try. The flavors are authentic, and every dish is crafted with care.

Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant for anyone who loves great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely keep...

This was my 2nd visit and have brought along my family of 4 because i loved the food the first time round and it really did impressed my family as well. Some notes and good reviews in point forms The briyani is good for sharing for 2 pax (do not let the mini bowl fool you, it packs quite alot of rice so we ordered 2 briyani to share among 4 pax which is of good portions) My go-to dish would be the gobi manchurian which my dad enjoyed very much, whats even better are the dishes are cooked upon order - we ordered other vegetarian and malabar fish curry dish and they were all piping hot which deserves five stars for that (please keep this up, as you know Asians love hot-scalding food!) Because of the piping hot food, my family enjoyed every dish that was served, the malabar fish curry sauce was very memorable. I also love the huge menu of items to choose from, will definitely return the next time round just to explore the menu further! The place has ample parking around the area and it gets busy during lunchtime, but to receive great piping hot food - i'll gladly...

My first time here, a very bad experience. The food taste was one of the worst indian foods i tried in Johor. I ordered Fish tikka, it was 1 small fish mashed into few small pieces. The Aloo Gobi i ordered, had mostly potato inside as it had to be balance with the cauliflower and had to be dry cooked but full of gravy. The butter chicken was also overly powered with extra herbs and it had a strong taste of cinnamon herb only. And the worst orange juice i drank, it cost rm9.90 per glass but all i tasted was plain water with sugar in it. All in all, the food was totally out when comes to taste and prices. All the dish pricing is overly charged for the quality and taste as well as portioning. Currently i would NOT recommend anyone that wishes to enjoy good indian food in Johor. The owner of this place should look into the quality, pricing, and what is being served thoroughly. Dont make people pay and provide such type quality. The pictures i attached is the “orange juice” and the so called 1 small fish that was broken into...
