Mohana Bistro

visited this restaurant yesterday with my wife and son for a banana leaf meal. While we were expecting a decent family lunch with a typical price range, we were honestly shocked when the bill arrived, the total came up to RM98++ for just the three of us. That’s way above what most Indian restaurants charge for a similar meal? What truly surprised me was the pricing of individual items — RM23 for a single slice of fish and RM19 for a portion of chicken keema. These were just standard servings, nothing extraordinary in terms of size or taste. In fact, the food itself was quite average, and certainly not worth such steep prices. I’m writing this not out of anger, but out of genuine disappointment. As customers, we don’t mind paying more when the food, service, and experience truly match the price. But in this case, it just didn’t. It felt more like being overcharged than enjoying a quality dining experience. To the management: please don’t take this review lightly or brush it off like just another complaint. If you value long-term customers and genuine feedback, I urge you to reconsider your pricing and improve the value you offer. At this rate, I honestly don’t see myself returning, and I believe many others would feel the same once they’ve had a similar experience.

I recently visited Mohana Bistro and had a mixed experience. We tried the vegetarian meal, and the veg chicken was absolutely superb – definitely a 5/5 for that dish. I also ordered the cheese naan, but the cheese was barely there, making it hard to distinguish from plain naan – I’d rate it 2/5. The paneer butter masala was a bit on the sweeter side, so I’ll give it a 3/5. The snacks, karipap and kara bondah, were quite enjoyable, especially with the sambar and chutney. A big shoutout to the staff (an anna, not sure of his name) who went out of his way to bring us the sambar and chutney at our table at the back. His effort truly stood out, and I’d give him a well-deserved 5/5. The bru coffee was nice as well, but I’d recommend asking for less sugar if you’re not into sweet drinks – I’d rate it 4/5. However, the pricing was a letdown, especially for the paneer butter masala, which felt overpriced for the portion size. I’d give the pricing 2/5. The atmosphere was another downside – it was very crowded, cramped, and hard to get a table since I went on a Sunday evening. We also had to wait quite a while for the waiter to take our order. Overall, the food and service had their highlights, but the pricing and atmosphere pulled the experience down. I’d give it a 3/5 overall.

We came here for lunch last week, and it was an excellent experience overall. The food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. They served a lot of side dishes, which really added variety and value to the meal. The highlight for me was definitely the Bru cow milk coffee which is rich, creamy, and a must try for coffee lovers! Although the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food and the great dining experience make it worth it. Highly recommended!

Had banana leaf meal. Ordered mutton varuval and it didn’t taste at all like varuval. Left the whole balance portion just like that. Will share the bill which didn’t state varuval. When I told the cashier that I ordered varuval, he said “it’s the same thing sir” to which I said the dish was not nice at all. Been a regular here whenever I plan to have Indian food. But not anymore.

My honest review...The food was 2/5... Extremely too expensive for a plate of small portion chicken. Moreover the chicken dish was tasteless and hard..I was shocked to see the bill...Over pricing....

Disappointing Experience , Not Worth the Price Had a very bad experience at this restaurant. • The food quality was poor , especially the fried fish, which had a strong, unpleasant smell. • To make things worse, they gave us the wrong order. • There were only 2 of us, and we had just plain water – yet the bill came to RM 98! • When we raised our concerns with the waiter, he simply smiled and walked away, offering no explanation or apology. Truly disappointed. Definitely not returning and wouldn’t recommend to others. A place that charges premium but delivers below average service and food quality.

Day by day, the quantity of mee goreng is decreasing. Used to love their mee goreng but it’s not longer the same quantity and quality. Please justify the amount paid and the quantity. This will be the last time walking in to this shop.

The worst ever nasi daun pisang food quality I ever had. Not recommended at all. Their taste not as what the menu wrote. Price is ridiculous. I am a nasi daun pisang fan. Have been eating in most of the cities in Malaysia. Sorry to say this is the worst ever I have taken. I am very sincere in commenting. I cannot compromise as far as the taste and quality of the food. If you have nasi daun pisang pls serve those curry that should be for nasi daun pisang. I gave 1 out of 10 because the only thing I like was their chutney n Raita Vadai. Others are not as what I expecting to be serve for nasi daun pisang. Portion too big. Should be serve single portion. If someone like that curry they can add on . But with the big portion when the taste is not what you expecting then it will be a waste. Normally Indian curry will always look tempting and should taste as what the curry suppose to be make you to order more later. But here I was shocked. Not tempting at all and the taste totally out. As far as for price it is not as what they serve you. People don't mind paying extra if the quality, taste is there. Need to get better chef I think that can cook the right way that suppose to be serve with nasi daun pisang. One example I can give is payasam. First time seen white colour payasam. Not tempting at all. May be there is this kind of way of cooking but for me payasam should be yellow or golden colour should be look tempting to take. They need to change the way the are cooking and the presentation of their food. But definitely I am not going there anymore. If incase I go there may be just for a cup of tea. That's all .
