KNS SURIYA EATING HOUSE

Non hygienic environment it seems. Menus are very smelly and wonder why the staffs can’t feel that! Almost vomitted upon flipping those menu pages. Expensive food like restaurant price but the standard is very poor and bad quality. Tried few hot drinks and all of them were just diluted sugary drinks without any coffee or tea flavor!

KNS SURIYA EATING HOUSE: Lively Atmosphere, But Service Falls Short (3/5 Stars) Rating: • Ambiance: 4/5 (Lively atmosphere, good for a quick drink) • Service: 3/5 (Inconsistent service, staff seemed impatient and agitated) Overall: 3/5 Donkey and I were cycling home late one night when we passed by KNS SURIYA EATING HOUSE, and Donkey felt like having some tea. We decided to stop in for a quick drink. The place was lively, even at around 11 p.m. However, we weren't impressed with the service. The staff seemed a bit impatient and agitated while they were serving us, and the attitude wasn't as good as we expected, especially during payment. After reading the Google reviews, we noticed that other customers have also mentioned the service being inconsistent. We also noticed that some customers have mentioned that the food is too salty or not very good which we didn't get to try. If you're looking for a place with a lively atmosphere and you're not too bothered about the service and food quality, then KNS SURIYA EATING HOUSE is a good option.

Was at KNS Suriya Eating House for dinner around 7.45pm today. Ordered indian rojak (2 pcs potatoes, 1 fish cake, 1 tauhu). The potatoes tasted off; it was like sour and just not right. Asked the indian server to come over and told him about the issue. He went to the rojak rack and tasted a piece of the potato himself. He nodded and agreed that it had turned bad. No follow up, no service recovery and he did not remove the balance of the potatoes on the rack. The 2 pieces of potatoes which we ordered were left untouched other than those that we have tasted and spat out. Went to settle the bill. The short indian guy had the nerve to charge $10 for 1 plate of mee goreng and the rojak. He did not say anything about the potatoes. When I brought up, he says "ok, $9". I asked if they are still offering those spoilt ones on the rack and he answered "ok ok..." and walked away. Really bad attitude! I agree with some of the reviewers that the hygiene and service level of this place is left to be desired. Also, I had a few previous experiences when I was almost scammed by the food bill. You have to double confirm with them when making payment, ask them to list the items and prices. As my experience may have dire consequences eg food poisoning, it would be appropriate for me to write to the relevant authorities to check out if their food is fit for consumption. I will never visit this place again!

KNS Suriya… where to begin the night started when my friends and I were playing and intense game of mahjong, someone suggested “should we go for milo tower?” “oh! don’t mind!” “where got prata shop near here” “hmm…there’s kns suriya very close by but I’ve never tried” our serangoon resident suggested. “oo okay, are they open and do they even have milo tower?” we decided to look them up on google, and tried calling the number to ask if they had a tower. *no response* “oh… their phone isn’t even plugged in LOL…” we decided to look through some google reviews where we chanced upon a raging 1 star review by a certain J. Lim. we were warned. intrigued, we decided to venture out to the backstreets of serangoon. after walking a gruelling 5 minutes, we arrived at KNS suriya. at first look, the place seemed clean. it was bright, the tables and floors were clean and the walls looked nice! we took a seat and realised that KNS suriya has been around since 1995! congrats guys! next, we took a smell at the menu, apart from a very faint smell in certain pages, there was nothing out of the ordinary. we called the staff over to order our food and he did not smell at all! what was J. Lim on about!!! smell-wise, everything was great! we were on a good path. next came the prata and milo. milo dinosaur was decent, and the prata was actually pretty damn good! we were impressed. the bar just got raised and we were set to give a solid 5 stars for our newfound supper spot. “wait, J. Lim said that they scam the prices because they’re a scummy business. we should calculate how much we should be paying” my friend suggested. we calculated a total of $14.90 for the food we got. “ok i go pay first” i suggested. heading to the counter, i was about to pull out my wallet to pay. “$18.40.” silence. shocked pikachu emoji. my heart sank, my jaw dropped, my vision blurred and my head started to spin. i could not believe it. even after everything, we were scammed of the prices. J. Lim was right. this was a scummy business with scummy business practices. “uhh…” i stuttered as i backed away slowly. “eh bro it’s 18.40 eh…” i whispered. “no…ron no!” my heart was racing. this 5 star establishment was immediately demoted to 2 stars in my heart. my friends got up and went to ask the staff. after a quick chat about the prices, we realised that the prices they charged weren’t the prices reflected on the menu. milo dinosaur was $4 instead of $3, prata was $1.40 instead of $1.30 (they charged 1.40 for individual pratas, and even though we ordered out pratas together, they served them separately…) my friend started to converse in tamil, hoping that the staff would charge us the prices on the menu. “come, come in and see the receipt” the staff suggested. as my friend stepped into the counter/ kitchen area, she caught a strong whiff of what seemed like post-drinking/ pre-clubbing puke, a vile scent that infiltrated her very nostrils. a second friend stepped into the kitchen, and was instantly knocked back by the same scent, an almost evil, sinister scent. a third friend creeped closer to take a whiff, and she almost fainted from the scent. “one star….” we murmured amongst ourselves. in the end, we managed to get the price down to $15.20. we paid for the food and left, wildly astonished at the absurdity of the night we had just experienced. we agreed we would never visit KNS suriya again, no matter how good the prata was. it was truly a roller coaster. 1 star for KNS, really lived up to their name.

Came here on a Sat morning at 9am. Surprised that it's not crowded. Maybe it's the last weekend of the year and people are still away. Service is OK, they are quite responsive. The tea (teh tarik, teh halia) had a little too much water in it. So the tea tasted weak. My teh halia tasted more ginger and only a hint of tea. Masala thosai was OK. Lots of potatoes, can taste some spices. The chutney was a little watery. Prata was OK. Also had garlic naan, not much garlic taste but the texture was good.

My friend and I dined at KNS Suriya Eating House having been told the food was good. The food was very good. However, be warned, this place engages in food fraud!! They have misleading pricing practices and overcharge their customers. We referred to the menu provided and calculated that our total bill should be $18.30 based on the listed prices. However, when we proceeded to the cashier to make payment, we were charged $19.00. They’re very sly about it too. We questioned making payment at the start but they refused. They seem to only overcharge a small amount so unless you actually calculated the price of the meal you would not notice the difference. When we raised the discrepancy with the cashier, they informed us that the "new" menu had updated (and higher) prices, despite the old menu with the lower prices still being presented to customers. No updated pricing was displayed, and no verbal notice was given before ordering. We were handed a disgustingly dirty “new” menu, stored on some shelf above the cash register. No such menus are found on tables. We were left with no choice but to pay the higher amount, especially as there were several large men standing nearby, making the environment feel intimidating. Also FYI, this conduct constitutes an unfair practice under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act as the restaurant failed to accurately inform customers of the actual prices before purchase, thereby engaging in misleading conduct. But the amount overcharged is so little it isn’t worth engaging with CASE, hence this places has been left to operate unethically.

Prata is cold. Order with egg but came with plain and insist order is correct. Don't come. Man take order is not friendly.

Hands down the best indian restaurant in Singapore ❤️ all the bad reviews could never make me hate you, Suriya!
