Everytime, whenever I go to Little India to get some stuffs with my akaliao, Badrun *winks* and my sister, banu dearest. We always step into KOMALAS for late lunch. I still do not understand the reason why, maybe because it is fully air-conditioned. We are regulars there. KOMALAS is a vegetarian indian restaurant which is so popular among asians at Little India. There are more than 2 KOMALAS in Little India if I'm not wrong. I won't say the food is not bad, maybe because we went there to eat like a million times. The food there is indeed very tasty and for indians, it would seem like as if you are eating home-cooked food. It feels home when you eat the food. This is only for the indians.
I would say it is cheap as a student. A student meal would cost about only $4.95 unless you produce your student pass. If not, it would cost more than that.
Those peeps, who want to try the food there, I would recommend the regular meals that we always order.
All the food in the restaurant are nice but our top 2 picks,
The Battura Meal and The Masala Dosai Meal.
Bhattura looks like a space ship but it is only filled with air as it is lightly fried in oil. It's to be had with chenna masala - a tasty gravy made of chickpeas. Squeeze the lemon into the chenna to make it tangy. With every bite of bhattura bite into the sliced onion and green chilli for added taste.
Often referred to as the King of Dosais, Masala Dosai is filled with mashed potato and other vegetables like onion and green peas. The meal also includes a steaming idly and crispy vadai. To be had with coconut chuttney, onion chuttney and sambar.
