Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Karu's Indian Banana Leaf Restaurant is a long-standing establishment, known for its extensive menu that spans both South Indian banana leaf meals and North Indian dishes.

We note its consistent quality, with many reviewers praising the generously portioned Rava Thosai and Onion Uttappam, as well as the tender Chicken Masala.

The Mutton Biryani is frequently highlighted for its fragrance, and the free-flow top-ups of vegetables and curries are a significant draw, adding to the perceived value.

While the food is generally well-received, some feedback suggests that while good, it might not always stand out as the 'best ever' for those with extensive Indian food experience.

The fish head curry, for instance, has received comments about freshness.

However, the overall experience is positive, with prompt and friendly service in an air-conditioned setting.

Parking can be limited, so public transport is often recommended.

We think Karu's is a reliable choice for a satisfying Indian meal, especially if you're in the Upper Bukit Timah area.

Best for those seeking a comprehensive Indian dining experience with good value.

What customers say

Karu's Indian Banana Leaf Restaurant is highly regarded for its authentic Indian cuisine, offering both South Indian staples like thosai and uttappam, and North Indian dishes.

Customers consistently praise the generous portions, tender meats like chicken masala and mutton biryani, and the value for money provided by free-flow side dishes and curries.

While generally positive, some find the food good but not exceptional compared to other Indian restaurants, and there was one mention of a fishy fish head curry.
