Murugappa Chettinad Restaurant — Restaurant in Singapore

The mark of a good Indian restaurant I believe is not necessarily its size, but the experience, ambience and the service provided by its staff. Along those lines, some of the experiences I've enjoyed have been in small to medium sized places which I've sought out which have been scattered throughout the many districts located in and around Singapore.

Located in the busy district called Jalan Besar on Upper Dickson road this interesting and really pleasant restaurant can be found.

The restaurant seems to be unmindful of these basic concept.sustainability is possible only when they take some efforts to improve. Food needs to be cooked with love & responsibility.That is where their success would reach its summit. Totally...

This is a hole in the wall restaurant. Good food and home cooking taste. Very reasonably priced and the service was good. One thing that disappointed me was they moved people around ( while eating) from one table to another to cater for a larger group of people. After lunch I was having tea and I had move too.
