Flavorful Indian banana leaf - Edit
Very cheap Indian place, fast and friendly service. They filled up my plate a lot.😅 That was nice but I was so full at the end haha.
Read moreThey know what vegan is and were very helpful. Even though the food is not fresh, the taste was still really good. I highly recommend!😌

Middle ground - Edit
Lunch in Selvam to try out the banana leaf Indian curry.
Read moreBetween us we got a dosa and a banana leaf daal - didn’t taste particularly freshly prepped but flavours were tasty.
There’s loads of meat everywhere in this place too. Dead birds being offered to tables 🤢

Gutes indisches essen - Edit
Schwer zu sagen was genau vegan vegan ist und was nicht. Wir hatten Reis auf einem Bananenblatt serviert mit 3 Gemüsezubereitungen (2x Curry, 1x Salat) dazu noch sehr leckere beilagen wie Fried cauliflower & Mock vege chicken ( schmeckt erstaunlich echt & scharf!)

Was ok - Edit
I have never met a dosa I didn’t like. But today, that changed 🙁 it was cold, sweet rather than tangy and sour and the chutney lacked heat. This is an entirely personal response tho LoL. The place is clean, friendly and I may go back and try idli instead.
Read morePros: Veg and vegan options , Great price
Cons: I personally do not like the dosa batter😄

Nice Indian meal - Edit
We had some rice and curry on a banana leaf for a very cheap price. People are nice, bit crazy in the busy hours.

Nice Indian food - Edit
We ate here three times in three days. On the third day we were considered locals and allowed to help ourselves to extra sauce, but you have to work for that right!
Read moreWe had the banana leaf thali, masala dosa, and vadai, all really tasty but you'll need to ask for extra chilli if you like your food spicy.
Priced for locals, you can eat well for two people for under 20rm.

Indian fast food - Edit
Selvam is a simple restaurant serving a small menu of very cheap South Indian street food items as well as the famous banana leave curry. I am not sure whether the banana leave curry is always fully vegan so you better ask. Went there twice because it was good, conveniently located and is incredibly cheap. You don’t need much time to eat here, and it has fast food atmosphere. So if you are looking for a place for a nice evening out this is not for you. It's perfect for a quick, cheap filling meal.

The Real Deal - Edit
Good food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their Friday 9 veg banana leaf lunch special is really good and a great deal. Went back several times while in Melaka. It was always busy when we were there. Nice people working there. Prices are cheap too.

Good value for money - Edit
Liked the banana leaf curry! Good portion size for little money. Also the breakfast options are soooo cheap, but tasty. Good value for money, in my opinion!
Read moreI was a bit worried about the hygiene at first, but I decided to give it a try because of the good reviews. Happy to say I did not get sick (& my stomach gets upset quite easily so ;)).
Pros: Cheap, Vegetarian friendly, Good portion size
Cons: Not super cosy

Delicious and cheap! - Edit
5 stars from me (it won’t allow me to give 5/5 because they serve meat). The curries were delicious & I loved how it was served on a banana leaf. My meal was 9RM (6RM for the banana leaf curries plus 3RM for extra veggie).

Indian - Edit
I like to grab coconut candy here on my way.
Read moreOther wise they have pretty regular local Indian food. To eat vegan here you need to know the food or ask lots of question.
Pros: Vegetarian friendly , Cheap , Easy

Good, but better nearby - Edit
Tried to get the Friday veggie special I heard about on Google, but didn't know it was time limited to went for the banana leaf instead.
Read moreDespite the menu saying 6 ringgit, my partner and I ended up paying 8 each. Not sure if it was a mistake or scam; she's bad at math so we didn't notice till after leaving.
There's another place on the street immediately west of the river which costs 6.50 and they will bring you more rice and papadam as you go if you like. If you're only going for the curry, go there.
Pros: tasted good, has vegetable specials
Cons: overcharges, specials once a week and brief

Good Indian restaurant - Edit
I took the banana leaf dish, and it was very tasty, with a lot of choices.
Read moreThe price is normal for Indian food (or a bit lower), even if this restaurant is a bit touristy. Better to go on a week day, when it's not too full.

Cheap Banana Leaf Restaurant - Edit
Indian food, which is always great. Banana leaf concept, great roti canai as well (make sure they don't use egg). Several vegetarian and vegan options, just let them know up front. Super tasty and hardly costs anything.
