<p>新加坡——由于 “装修” 而长期关闭，Komala Vilas 的未来引发了激烈的猜测，这是一家新加坡最具标志性的印度素食餐厅之一。这个品牌在几代人中成为家喻户晓的名字，其位于 76-78 Serangoon Road 的门店曾接待过新加坡前总理李显龙和印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪，现已关闭近两个月。在 Facebook 群组 “新加坡旅行提示与计划” 中，3 月 9 日关于关闭店面的帖子引发了关于该店是否永久关闭的讨论。一位 Facebook 用户表示，他们 “失望地发现，位于小印度的 Komala Vilas 自 1 月 19 日起已关闭进行装修，但在 Apple Maps 上仍显示为开放。分享此信息是为了帮助他人避免同样的失望”。在同一讨论中，另一位用户表示：“看到这家拥有 70 多年历史的标志性南印度素食餐厅在经历了四代家族经营后关闭，令人感到悲伤。” 在餐厅的 Google 评论页面上，顾客们定期发布更新，表示这家餐厅尚未重新开放。当《海峡时报》于 3 月 17 日访问这家旗舰餐厅时，卷帘门上的标志写着：“我们将于 2026 年 1 月 19 日（星期一）开始暂时关闭进行装修。” 该标志没有说明餐厅何时会重新开放。然而，现场没有任何装修工作的迹象，两个单元内也没有传出任何噪音。对此，《海峡时报》和泰米尔语日报《泰米尔穆拉苏》的询问，前主席及现任小印度商家与文化遗产协会（Lisha）顾问 Rajakumar Chandra 先生表示，他知道关于餐厅的猜测。“已经超过两个月没有任何工作进行，这引发了关于发生了什么的猜测和谣言，” 他说，并补充说，有多人也询问他餐厅的未来。“Komala Vilas 是一家历史悠久的传统企业，” Rajakumar 先生补充道，他表示看到餐厅在过去几个月关闭令人感到不安。Komala Vilas 素食餐厅由 Murugiah Rajoo 先生于 1947 年创立，目前由他的孙子 Rajakumar Gunasekaran 先生（40 岁）经营。几十年来，它成为家喻户晓的名字和旅游景点，以提供美味的薄饼、炸饼、香饭、米糕等而闻名。这家南印度素食餐厅在 2015 年曾接待李显龙和莫迪先生，这一事件被称为 “薄饼外交”。</p>

<p>新加坡著名的印度素食餐厅 Komala Vilas 自 1 月 19 日起因装修而关闭，引发了人们对其未来的猜测。这家自 1947 年以来一直是文化地标的餐厅并未显示出任何装修活动的迹象，这让顾客和当地商家感到担忧。尽管在 Apple Maps 上仍显示为开放状态，但顾客们报告称餐厅仍然关闭。餐厅的老板尚未提供重新开业的时间表，这让许多人怀疑在近两个月的停业后它是否会重新开张</p>

<p>A sign on shutters outside the restaurant said the store would be shut for renovations from Jan 19.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>餐厅外的卷帘门上贴着的标志表示商店将于 1 月 19 日关闭进行装修。</p>
</div><p>SINGAPORE – Intense speculation surrounds the future of Komala Vilas, one of Singapore’s most iconic Indian vegetarian restaurants, following a prolonged closure due to “renovations”. A household name for generations, the brand’s outlet at 76-78 Serangoon Road – which once hosted former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Indian premier Narendra Modi – has been shuttered for nearly two months. On Facebook group Singapore Travel Tips and Plan, a March 9 post of the shuttered storefront sparked a discussion on whether the store has been shut for good. The Facebook user said they were “disappointed to discover that Komala Vilas in Little India has been closed for renovations since January 19 but is listed as open on Apple Maps. Sharing to help others avoid the same letdown”. On the same thread, another user said: “Sad to see the 70+ year old iconic legendary South Indian vegetarian restaurant has shut its doors after probably 4 generations of being family owned and operated.” On the restaurant’s Google reviews page, customers have been posting regular updates to share that the eatery has yet to reopen. When The Straits Times visited the flagship restaurant on March 17, a sign on the shutters said: “We are temporarily closed for renovation starting Monday, 19 January, 2026.” The sign did not state when the restaurant would reopen. However, there were no signs of any renovation works being carried out at the site and there was no noise coming from within the two units either. In response to queries from ST and Tamil-language daily Tamil Murasu, Mr Rajakumar Chandra, former chairman and current adviser of the Little India Shopkeepers and Heritage Association (Lisha) said he was aware of the speculation about the restaurant. “It has been over two months without any work being done, this is creating speculation and rumours on what is happening,” he said, adding that multiple people have also asked him what will become of the restaurant. “Komala Vilas is a long-standing heritage business,” Mr Rajakumar added, sharing that it was upsetting to see the restaurant being shut for the past few months. Komala Vilas Vegetarian Restaurant was established in 1947 by Mr Murugiah Rajoo. It is currently run by his grandson Mr Rajakumar Gunasekaran, 40. Over the decades, it became a household name and a tourist attraction, renowned for serving up delicious thosai, vadai, biryani, idli and more. The South Indian vegetarian restaurant famously hosted Mr Lee and Mr Modi in 2015, an event that was named “Dosa diplomacy”.</p>
