    While it seems like a good running restaurant, we ordered onion uttapam, dal wada, mango juice, tea, and soup. The onion uttapam was prepared in a really pungent oil (suspected reheated), which was hardly palatable. Soup was also average.

    The tastiest Indian food I've had in a while. The gravy was amazing. The food was clean. Our bill cost less than expected.😊🔥

    Prices are reasonable, the food is very much tasty, the staff is very supportive in serving you. I've been here many time to this place (previously known as Rahumanias) since 2010. and it's one of the best vegetarian places I've been to. I recommend this place if you are finding a moderately clean and tasty indian vegetarian feed. Very Quick service.

    I am not recommended this place anyone. Very bad customer service. Waiters are very rude and even mangers not care about customers. What I feel that they want money …money ..money.. If they get money after providing quality service. That is fine. Here What I got is far.. far.. below the expected standard. Their main target customers are poor and frustrated National Hospital visitors. So, they are not expecting regular customers. That is why they just provide junk food and low quality customer service. I will never visit this place and not recommend to anyone. If you want quality Indian food please visit Wellawatta area. There are many good Indian restaurants.

  • 5/5 AQEEL M. 3 years ago on Google
    They have been maintaining the same standard ever since I bought from them few years back.....the taste and the quality is the same...their potatoe masala is amazing...the ulundu vade when it's just out of the kitchen , best in town ..do make sure to try out their ghee masala dosa too.. The food here is definitely different from the other vegetarian restaurants around and the prices are also similar to other local outlets , a must try

  • 5/5 haresh e. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best vegetarian Indian food restaurant in the area. Unique Indian flavours. Place is cozy and sometimes crowded but take away is always available. Can't give much credit to the cleanness in some aspects but how they manage is fine with me. After all, I'm into the tastes rather than to the place.

  • 1/5 Bhanuka Malinda R. 2 years ago on Google
    I have placed an order via pickme food and Malar cafe has sent only half of the order and charged fully from me. (So any one can understand the issue is with the restaurant not with the delivery rider) No any solution from Malar cafe just agreed as their mistake only. Very poor customer service and really disappointed about their service. Never buy anything from there and never recommend to anyone this place.

If they can't deliver the hot beverage in a proper manner they should stop that.

    I think they make one of the tastiest ghee masala tosas in colombo. Every bite was crispy n buttery. If you got a ghee tosa craving this place is a must to go…
