About This Place

Restoran Sri Seenu stands out as a beloved South Indian culinary gem nestled in the vibrant heart of Petaling Jaya, Selangor. This restaurant offers an authentic taste of South Indian flavors that immediately transport you to the bustling streets of Chennai and Tamil Nadu. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a charmingly old-school yet immaculately clean atmosphere, blending spacious indoor air-conditioned seating with a casual outdoor dining area. The environment feels comfortably familiar, perfect for both a hearty breakfast or a satisfying teatime catch-up with friends.

At the core of Restoran Sri Seenu’s menu is an array of expertly prepared dishes celebrated by locals and visitors alike. The Banana Leaf Rice here is a standout — fragrant rice served with crispy fried chicken and richly spiced mutton varuvel, each bite bursting with layers of warmth and homely spices. The Ghee Thosai is another crowd favorite, accompanied by a medley of luscious gravies and crunchy condiments that delight the palate with every dipping sensation. For breakfast enthusiasts, the flaky, crispy Roti Canai paired with piping hot dhal curry is simply irresistible, available at an incredible value of just RM2, making it a beloved morning ritual.

Beverages at Restoran Sri Seenu hold their own special charm. The Fresh Milk Brew Coffee and the famously smooth Pasumpal Brew Coffee offer a creamy, robust richness that perfectly complements the savory and spicy dishes. Of course, no South Indian breakfast is complete without a cup of frothy Teh Tarik, pulled to just the right sweetness and strength, or a classic Bru Coffee Cow Milk, delivering nostalgic comforting flavors that warm the soul.

Regulars praise the attentive, prompt service and the thoughtful touches that enhance the dining experience. One customer highlights the restaurant’s innovative automatic canopy system for the outdoor seating area, which gracefully shields you from the tropical heat or sudden rain showers—an example of how Sri Seenu thoughtfully cares for its patrons’ comfort.

Food lovers will appreciate the affordability paired with impressive quality—a rare combination that keeps visitors coming back. From tempting teatime kuih selection to hearty chicken and mutton curries, every dish reflects the passion and rich culinary heritage of South Indian cuisine. Whether it’s a simple breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or an afternoon tea, Restoran Sri Seenu invites you to enjoy authentic flavors that feel like home.

In every visit, from the first crispy bite of roti canai to the last sip of strong brew coffee, Restoran Sri Seenu creates more than just meals—it crafts memorable dining moments filled with warmth, flavor, and genuine hospitality.

A good go-to place if you want to have thosai, roti canai or capati for breakfast. The typical beverages that you can get here -- teh tarik, Nescafe, bru kopi (brew coffee) and Milo, of course. If you're sitting at a table outside and the weather gets too hot or the rain is coming soon, fret not. There is a canopy that comes out automatically once it is activated. It will gradually glide and open up over your head. The price of drinks are more expensive if compared with other restaurants but the price of food is reasonable. The service is pretty prompt and usually, there is a short wait for your food or drinks to arrive at the table. It's worth mentioning that the toilet is clean.

The food here is delicious, and the rice dishes are especially affordable. I really enjoyed the variety of dishes served during tea-time, including a tempting selection of kuih. I've attached two receipts: one includes the bill for rice dishes, and the other is from a tea-time meal.

Good food, good service and nice environment. The restaurant is a old school set up but it’s spacious and very clean. There’s also a air conditioned dining area and outdoor seating area. Food is very good. The ghee tosai is superb with its many gravy and condi to go with. Mutton curry is also one of the best in PJ. The pasumpal brew coffee here is also awesome. Stuff are working very effectively and price is reasonable. Highly recommended!

Revisit May24: Had roti canai and fresh milk brew coffee on weekday 7am. Was surprised to find a yummy crispy flaky roti canai and piping hot dhal curries. Food came very fast, and there’s already a crowd in the morning. The price is unbeatable, RM2 for roti canai and RM4.40 for Fresh milk brew coffee. Satisfied. Previous visit: Reached around 730am on a weekday and there’s already customers enjoying their breakfast. Parking was still okay, though situated in a housing area. The restaurant was spacious, there’s two spaces available to choose. However, staff weren’t very friendly. Had to walk over the counter to order after waiting for awhile. Food arrived pretty fast. The Chappati was cold however, pretty disappointing though taste was normal. The Appom was freshly made, pretty big and fluffy. The dhal and curries were pretty diluted, slightly disappointing. The chutney was sticky and have a glue-like consistency, pretty odd for me. The Teh tarik was alright, it’s smooth and the waiter followed the order, making it no sugar, so it was not sweet. Overall, it’s an okay meal, not the best one. But the price was darn cheap! Two person for RM10?! Each item was RM2 on average. Would come back to try their banana leaf as they’re famous for it.

It's a nice place to catch up over a meal or tea time with friends. It's not a high-end place. Good to hang around. The food is quite good. The fried items with coffee can be refreshing after a busy day's work. Vege options are there. The service is pretty good as well. They are prompt and helpful. The ambience is good. The place is clean and well maintained. The inner portion of the seating area is better. The payment can be made by cash or QR. Parking is not very difficult. The nearby housing area is there where cars can be parked for a short time.

Come here between the brunch and lunch period if you plan on getting seated at a table here with quick service. The staffers here all try their best all the time which is great although the occasional mid day lunch crowd can still overwhelm especially during the long Friday luncheon breaks. A quick drop in for a snack of their regular plain dosai and some fresh cow's milk Bru coffee was a wonderful pick-me-up just before lunch and the place was still relatively sedate. Service was quick and there were enough crew at hand to move things around quickly almost like clockwork. The stewed lentil dhalls and fresh chutneys are still very very good when eaten with freshly made dosai. Just dropped in for a snack before heading on my way out to town. Highly recommended.

solid good banana leaf rice. has changed names several times over the years, but still pulls nonetheless. also offers full spectrum of breads. paniyaram and uttapam, both in multiple savoury flavours, being particularly good. and three types of chutney, to boot. this place is traditional top perch on street. which has always been competitive when it comes to indian. and folk here generally top out over snootier neighbours.
