Mahila

"Malaysian restaurant Mahila, located in Noe Valley, has closed due to a “failed negotiation” with the landlord of the building at 1320 Castro Street." - Erin Perkins

"After only offering takeout for the bulk of the coronavirus crisis, three weeks ago Azalina Eusope decided to welcome guests back into the dining room at Mahila, her small Malaysian restaurant in Noe Valley." - Luke Tsai

"Other restaurants, like Mahila, Azalina Eusope’s Malaysian Mamak restaurant, are taking a wait-and-see approach to see what happens with local COVID-19 case rates." - Luke Tsai

"She tells Eater SF that she’d been counting on being able to open both of her restaurants for indoor dining on July 13, mainly as a way to build up her revenue stream — takeout alone hasn’t been enough to prevent her from having to dip into her personal savings just to keep the restaurants afloat, Eusope says. She also has a third location — a new Azalina’s outpost — in the Tenderloin that’s ready to open, but will have to be put on hold." - Luke Tsai

"This Malay spot in Noe Valley serves fantastic sweet potato puffs with onion chutney, spicy turmeric noodles with shrimp, and coconut roti covered with mustard seeds, peanuts, and greens. The space is small (we don’t recommend going here with more than four people), but it’s a great place for a midweek date or a casual catch-up." - Will Kamensky
