Background of the Komala's Group

The founders of Komala's are from a family of Restaurateurs who have been in the restaurant business for more than half a century. The Komala's Group started as a restaurant serving traditional Indian vegetarian meals that was founded by Mr. Murugiah Rajoo (M. Rajoo)in 1947. The restaurant has built up a high reputation for its quality, value-for-money authentic Indian food, as well as its commitment to cleanliness and hygiene. It is the commitment to such values that earned Komala 's popularity with the Indians, Malays, Chinese and tourists throughout its 50-year history in Singapore. Komala's, an operating division of The Komala's Group, led by M Rajoo's sons, R.T. Sekar and R.C. Sekar, spearheaded the inception of two new dining concepts of Indian vegetarian food - Komala's Restaurants and The Gangezs. Komala's Restaurants is a fast food self-service concept offering traditional Indian vegetarian food in a western setting.

Inception Of The Komala's Restaurant

R.T. Sekar, envisioned that there is a market demand for contemporary dining experiences of Indian vegetarian food. With this vision, R.T. Sekar and R.C. Sekar, spearheaded the opening of Komala's Restaurants in July 1995. This concept offered traditional food at affordable prices in a modern setting. It harnessed the strengths of the universal acceptance of vegetarian food and the convenience of fast food. The target customers for Komala's Restaurants are teenagers, young adults, families of Singaporean (all races), tourists and Indians.

The vision of the founders was clearly spelt out below

"To Make Quality Indian Vegetarian Food Readily Available Internationally At Affordable Prices."

Core Competence Of The Komala's Fast Food

Food chains mostly created in the West usually do not cater to the taste of those who prefer Asian cuisine. Komala's Restaurants now gives Asians an option of enjoying an Indian meal with the added benefits of fast food deliveries.

The Management strongly believes that this new dining concept will be popular worldwide, especially in Caucasian-dominated countries where there are emerging trends in eating Asian dishes, particularly Indian and Vegetarian food.

The existence of huge overseas Indian communities in major cities worldwide, also provides a ready market for Komala's Restaurants which can make available to them home-cooked quality meals without paying overly inflated prices.
