👍 We liked the food and the friendly owner. Definitely worth a visit for some basic breakfast. We recommend to take dosai and sides separately and don't go to deep into all the different types of bread. People often mention Indian, breakfast, restaurant, friendly, dosa, good, service,

    if I could give it a 0 star I would. worker was sort of nice but couldn't understand me cuz I was talking English. so he asks "can you speak tamil?" I said no I can't. he became so bloody rude after that. this is not india ya. don't act as if I need to know tamil. as an Indian that cannot speak tamil in Malaysia. it is not a problem. rude worker,I just went to buy palkova. that also not worth to buy. too oily. horrible.

    You can get authentic Indian food here. There's pricing on the wall, so don't worry. It is mostly crowded, it means the food is good and affordable and even the locals will go to dine there. If you don't like tight spaces, you probably could take away the food and take it to the sea side. But for me, I just dine in the shop and enjoy the environment. It is an old shop but it is clean. If you don't know what to order, just use Google map to check the menu. Lol.

    It is one of the best tasting indian foods. Came here for breakfast. Mess like feel. Service is superb. Foods are coming out fast. The only downside is the lack of seating a bit congested. 9.0/10.0

  • 5/5 Nirupan N. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing food and all dishes are made fresh to order. We had paper dosai, chicken kothu, poratha, tea and ice Milo. Staff are friendly and service was really fast. Highly recommend this restaurant when in Georgetown.

    Morning once there are open about 7.30am i packed my tea and Indian snacks. Tea was good same goes for the snack. Next day came for lunch and its good too. Only drawback is its not spacious. So be prepared

    I went here several times during my stay in Georgetown. The food tastes great and is excellent value for the price you pay. For lunch it's a buffet system and you can take what you want and someone will come around to see what you took and give you a bill accordingly. The staff were friendly as well.

    Traditional Indian restaurant. This place is very busy in the morning. I bought a mahasala onion dosa which was very flavorful. Just 5 MYR and you have breakfast. Lots of vegetarian options.

    A reasonable-priced, friendly and clean place to have vegetarian and non-veg food.

    We get Authentic Indian food here. Prices are reasonably placed and taste is good. Overall happy

  • 5/5 Jackie C. 5 months ago on Google
    This narrow canteen styled restaurant is a South Indian restaurant to the backbone. Serves authentic Thosai (dosa), Idli, Vadai during breakfast period. Feel the vibes sitting next to random people whilst enjoy delicious foods. Not fancy menu, but surely up to your choices. Price is cheap and staffs are friendly.

    Dosa is crispy and you can enjoy it with the free curry (three flavors) serve at the table. Masala tea is strong in flavor in ginger, both panas (hot) and ais (ice) one are great!

  • 5/5 Neill K. 4 months ago on Google
    I love this place. Just grab a plastic chair at a table and try the masala Dosa (after 4pm). Yum

    Fantastic South Indian fare! VFM. Great waiters and humble owners. Will definitely visit again when I’m in Georgetown!

    Sooooo generous on uthappam or thosai (dosa) sauce! Been comparing many restaurants from Johor Bahru to Langkawi + Thailand and Krsna restaurant win the contest by far!! !Hare Krsna!

    Food was okay, before 4:30pm I believe it is only self service which is when we went, and majority of the food was all cold. Might be best to come after 4:30pm. Prices were okay

  • 5/5 Jayesh P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a tasty breakfast of Masala Dosa and Masala Tea. It's a very casual atmosphere and the staff are cheerful and relaxed. Recommend it for a breakfast once you get bored of the usual breakfast fare in George Town.

    Food is absolutely delicious! My only complain is that they do not typically have dosa until 4 PM in the afternoon :(

  • 5/5 david c. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice tasty south Indian food served on a leaf. Typical meal won't go above 10RM. Dosai are the main dishes here.

  • 2/5 Kenny G. 4 years ago on Google
    I used to adore and make Krsna a must while in Penang. They had the best banana leaf thali and atmosphere, packed with locals. Sadly, times change and Krsna is not what it used to be. The restaurant has been remodeled, losing a bit of it's rustic feel. Sadly, the banana leaf thalis are no longer available. My uttapam was average, friend's chicken thosai enormous...too large in fact. It could have fed two people. With a drink, price was 13.30, quite high for simple Penang Indian fare. Even more upsetting was the wall menu which listed the food at a much lower price. I won't be back as the street Nasars are much better and cheaper.

    My fav..... Idli n vadai mix with sambar n hot bru coffee.... Superr combination.....

  • 4/5 Gugan K. 5 years ago on Google
    Good selection of South Indian cuisines / menus. Menus prepared instantly and with fresh ingredients. Cooks are well experts in their preparations. Overall the restaurant is clean and waiters are polite and accommodating. The space are limited, so you got to be quick especially during rush hours. So plan your visit accordingly.

    I ate a chicken curry that was really good.

    Delicious and cheap food with friendly staff who will help you order. Seems there are different curries available at different times of the day, but the staff will advise you. Also had a a good sweet lassi.

😠 I reached at around 2:30pm and still need to queue till 3:00 pm. Disappointed with the food because the deep fried fish roe and fish are hard rather than crispy. The gravy is also so so only.

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
