Nice selection of vegetarian food

This is a good option for those in the area.
I dined here twice during my stay in Kuala Lumpur, and enjoyed my meals both times.
The vegetarian nyonya nasi lemak was delicious, as was the cashew 'chicken' rice. The ginger tea was great, but I found the 'sirap limau' to be too artificial-tasting for me. Vegan options are unclear, so check with the waitstaff to be sure.
Prices seemed on par with similar restaurants around Kuala Lumpur. Overall it is a nice place to dine.

Pros: Good variety, vegetarian store attached

Cons: Vegan options unclear

Great food, I'm definitely coming back

I visited Cameleon vegetarian restaurant several times on my last trip to KL in 2009. It's good to be back after 17 years.

This time, we enjoyed their, vegetarian rojak, assam fish sauce curry rice, nyonya nasi lemak, and finally for dessert, their delicious pandan pancake. Also got fresh lime juice with plum and hot honey lemon on the side.

I personally really enjoyed the rojak and curries. Some dishes were quite spicy. You may want to check with staff or get a drink depending on your comfort level. The waitresses were very friendly.

I wish had more chances to visit this place and try more dishes on their menu.

In addition to the vegetarian restaurant, they also have a section selling vegan & vegetarian mock meats, snacks and curry pastes.

Delicious noodles!

I need to stop eating alone, so I can try more dishes when I eat out. I really like Cameleon, an all veggie and mostly vegan Chinese/Malaysian restaurant. I ordered the black pepper udon noodles, and it wasn’t the most photogenic dish but it was packed with flavor. I can’t justify ordering more than I can eat when dining alone; I’d love to come back and try out more dishes. For a while, I was the only diner at the restaurant (I arrived around 6pm on a drizzly weeknight). One other solo diner and a family of four came in before I left. With food this good, I’m disappointed that it’s not more popular.

Good food but a little pricey

This place must be super popular because it was packed. We managed to get the last table! Dumplings were a little greasy and stuffed with some kind of mock meat. The nasi lemak was tasty but a little stingy on the mock meat. Good gravy though!

Came back a second time. The mutton curry is super good, and the claypot rice was extremely comforting and savoury.

Big variety of vegetarian options, vegan options labelled

Good food and friendly service. Most dishes can be ordered as S/M/L which is nice. It’s not the cheapest but food was good and lots to choose from. I recommend the dumplings, golden mushrooms, sticky rice and honey ribs. Just ask them about spice levels.

Pros: Lots of mushroom options, Friendly staff

Cons: Slightly run down area

Delicious but a little expensive

I got the chilli chicken, which was very nice and the vegan chicken was unreal.
My partner got the chicken sausage rice which was also decent.
The fried dumplings were the star of the show.

A Rainy Night in KL Mean One Thing…

Takeaway! Having spotted the extensive menu on offer here, I couldn’t resist sampling what they had to offer. Once I bit into the cashew bao, I knew I’d made a wise decision. This was first of many wonderful flavours I would encounter as I worked my way through my feast: the siew mai had great texture, both the soups (the wonton and the mushroom crab) were light, but not lacking in depth, the claypot chicken was fantastic and the bbq charsiew was exceptional. Finally, the lotus bao was a fine sweet treat to end on.
Certainly worth a look-in, either as a takeaway or at the restaurant itself.

Increíble

El no pollo al limón está buenísimo. Tienen unos bollitos rellenos de judía que son increíbles. Pregunta si algo lleva leche o miel. Casi todo es vegano.

Great mock meats and service

Really good options - Malay, Chinese. Tasty mock meats and really nice, fast service. Not the cheapest but reasonable for KL. The sticky ribs were really good.

Pros: Lots of options , Tasty mock meats, Great service

Cons: Not the cheapest, Quite heavy food (probably MSG?)

amazing delivery food

I got this for delivery on my first night in Kuala Lumpur and didn’t regret it. Everything was so good and it was cheap. It was hard to pick menu items cause everything looked so good. I really recommend the bao and any of the veggies.

The fresh soymilk was great too.

Was ok

Might be a reflection of the particular food items we choose but we found it to be quite bland and overpriced

Small portions. Huge menu.

Small portions and not much vegetarian meat in the meal. Most dishes were between 16-33 ringgit, so I don’t know why it only has one $ symbol. I had the noodle dish, and there were only 3 pieces of vegetarian meat. We were both still very hungry after the meal. The flavor wasn’t very memorable for what we ordered to be honest, but the menu is extensive, so I’m sure it all depends on what you get! There are soooo many options, so it’s worth a visit if you want to try something new or see something specific on their menu you want to try. Many vegan meat options, so that’s always fun. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would maybe go back to try the dumplings, but I wouldn’t order our dishes again.

A little too sweet

There is a huge section of dishes, however I found it just a bit too sweet. I got mushroom meat in black pepper sauce and the sauce was quite sugary.

Lots of fake "meat" choices

A place I would recommend if you like meat replacements. My gf and I shared the Honey Spare ribs (picture) and the Thai Style Grilled Chicken, both were very good.
