Komala Vilas

Little India & Kampong Glam


This prime-position branch of the Komala Vilas chain is extremely popular due to the wallet-friendly, authentic dishes and generous portions. The wafer thin dosa (paper-thin lentil-flour pancake) is legendary – order the meal and enjoy it served with three vegetable curries and condiments. Complete your feast with a cup of warm masala tea, served in a traditional metal cup.
