Restoran Shanmuga Bhavan — Restaurant in Malacca

This restaurant like any other "average Indian restaurants" open for business with little or no clue about food preparation, handling and hygiene. The premises is untidy, not welcoming at all. The food is average and the service is average. If you happen to be in that area and you want an Indian meal then this place is okay with average tasting food and a average range of food varieties and if you not particular about a lot of other things only to satisfy your hunger then it is okay. Before consuming any of the cooked dishes check if they are still fresh. As the owner nor the staff care about the freshness of the food to be served to the public. The kitchen area is messy and the bathrooms are not cleaned regularly. Sometime you have flies flying around and when you inform the workers or owner they will tell you that the flies are a normal visitor or that is seasonal or because they are plantation around so the flies are breeding. So much for that. So be careful what you order and consume. The safe bet would be the hot meals. A fried rice or noodles. On another note when using the fork and spoons please check if they have been properly washed. That my review. Thank you and...

Environment & Ventilation The seating area is well-ventilated with multiple fans, but due to the nearby cooking area and direct sunlight, it still felt quite hot. This added to the discomfort, especially given the humid atmosphere.

Hygiene & Cleanliness There are some concerns regarding hygiene. The main chef did not wear gloves, which raised questions about handling ingredients in such a warm setting. On the positive side, the server auntie, who handled drinks, was very well-prepared with gloves and an apron. She was extremely kind and always had a cheerful smile, which made our experience pleasant.

Food Options The restaurant offers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, catering to different preferences. They also have canned drinks available, though the selection is somewhat limited.

Overall, the drinks and hospitality were highlights, but a more comfortable environment and better hygiene practices in the kitchen could improve the...

Yesterday I went to this restaurant, we ordered tosai for 3 people, nasi lemak for one person, after 10 minutes we got thosai for 2 people, and nasi lemak without fried egg which I did order. When we asked where is one more thosai and fried egg, they behave like don't know, another woman I think owner or employee.. The woman asked what your people eat I want to make Bill, I told them eggs and thosai haven't been received yet,You just tell what you eat, don't talk about eggs or tosai. I say once I get all I will let you know, if not miscalculated, She say "athu no mukiyum Illa, just tell yena sapathenga, this is the manner of restaurant people, I'm still patient, without me arguing, I'm complaining here because of the lady behavior to irritated.food awesome that's why give 4star and need more improvement ,atmosphere and service terribly disappointed, bcoz of their bad service total athmosphere look...
