NESTLED on the vibrant streets of Jalan Kasah, Medan Damansara in Kuala Lumpur, Tiki Taka is a culinary gem that has been serving up Spanish-inspired delights for the past seven years. Recently, we had the privilege of sitting down with Mathuraiveran (Madhu) Marimuthu, chief executive officer (CEO) of Small Plates Venture Sdn Bhd, the restaurant’s owner, to delve deeper into the journey of this remarkable establishment. Alongside Madhu, Chef Umar, the Head Chef, and Md Riday Islam, the Head of Bar, have also joined the team, sharing the dream of making Tiki Taka one of the best restaurants in town.
Madhu, an accountant by profession, stumbled into the world of F&B as he initially sought to assist a friend with Tiki Taka. However, what began as a gesture of friendship soon transformed into an enticing opportunity that he couldn’t resist. Despite his background not being in food and beverages, Madhu devoted himself to the restaurant’s success, making it a daily commitment to explore ways to enhance the dining experience for patrons.
