Steven's Tea Garden


Founded in 1976 by an Indian couple, Steven's Corner is a mamak restaurant located in Overseas Union Garden, off Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur. Steven is the nickname of Silan, a member of the family. The original stall sat on a shop corner, hence the name Steven's Corner. It started as a small, humble stall selling only roti canai and mamak fried noodles. Over the years, Steven's Corner has grown in size and number, a result of sheer hard work of its owner and the support and patronage of its loyal customers. Determination and conviction helped the restaurant chart its own direction and establish its own unique business model. The foundation was laid long ago for future growth and expansion.

In 1985, Steven's Corner was registered as Sri Komalah Restaurant and extended its business hours to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In 1997 Steven's Corner opened its second restaurant in Pandan Indah, Cheras. This was followed in 2007 by a third restaurant in Setapak.

Steven's Corner imports its own spices. With secret recipes passed down from generation to generation and its own innovations, it has been able to introduce its unique, trail-blazing menu. A mamak cuisine craze that swept the land helped establish Steven's Corner as a modern, conspicuous culinary icon. Steven's Corner is also the first mamak restaurant in Malaysia to offer wireless broadband Internet connections.
Today, Steven's Corner wants to bring mamak cuisine to every corner of the country. For this purpose it has been registered as a service business with the trademark "Steven's Tea Garden". From now on Steven's Tea Garden will launch chain restaurants throughout Malaysia, thus realizing its ambition to grow into a bigger, stronger brand that will serve the Malaysian food lovers for a long time to come.
