Malayan Cafe - Jaffna

Below average just a normal restaurant. So why the hype? Nothing in this restaurant worth the praise given in the reviews.

This restaurant is a must-visit if you want to experience a traditional lunch served on a banana leaf. They have the best Jaffna masala dosa and offer a typically Indian atmosphere. The restaurant is located behind the bus stop in the center of Jaffna. I highly recommend it for its delicious food and quick service. I will definitely be back next time!

This establishment, located in Jaffna town, is often regarded as one of the few places known for its culinary offerings. However, it is unfortunate to report that the quality of the food provided falls significantly short of expectations. Furthermore, the restaurant itself suffers from a notable lack of cleanliness and hygiene. Evidence of this can be seen in the presence of food scattered on the floor and inadequately cleaned tables. Even when patrons request that the tables be cleaned, the waitstaff only perform a subpar job. Regrettably, it appears that this establishment lacks a proper understanding of maintaining a clean environment. The overall state of the premises is dishearteningly dirty. Considering these factors, it is difficult to recommend this place, and based on the poor food quality and unhygienic conditions, it deserves a rating of 1 out of 5.

Bought Bhonda and Kadalai Vadai. Was freshly made and hot at purchase. Very tasty. Loved by all. Reasonably priced. Fairly clean and very busy site.

Visited the place for dinner with my wife but sadly the experience we had was not what we expected. The place was recommended by a few friends and had good ratings on different platforms as well. When we ordered the food, they said they don't have it. We didn't know that the food was already made for dinner, and they don't do to order. I guess this place is a better choice for lunch than dinner. Can't comment on the food since we didn't have any so better luck next time.
