Not great if you are vegan

We asked multiple times if the starter and main we ordered contained any dairy product or egg. The staff told us that this was not the case, but they also didn't seem to really understand our question. The dish unfortunately did contain dairy. It was as a side so we were able to "eat around it" but obviously not great if you are vegan. The main garlic "prawn" dish was kinda cool. The mock prawn was made of soy protein and had a texture and bite much alike a prawn. The doosas however were not that great. I would go and find another place if you are vegan since they do not seem to understand the concept.

Pros: Tasty garlic prawn dish

Cons: Not vegan (also not when asking for it), Staff doesn't seem to care

A pure vegetarian place in Brickfield. Food was not great. First time I had food from there. Will not return. (However I’ve been told it was much better before Covid.)

Pros: Pure vegetarian , Vegan friendly , Affordable

Cons: Not much effort with food

Good place for a full feeding!

Surprisingly enough, this was the only veggie restaurant on the main street but still, that's probably because these guys know what they're doing. The place was absolutely packed full of people but we were served quickly and the servers were funny, kind and welcoming. Everything we ordered was tasty and the banana leaf had a lot of components on it. Drinks were also good. Downside is how hot the place was with all those customers. They have fans all around the restaurant but had only turned on maybe two or three of them. Wish we could have stayed longer to try some of the puddings on the dessert counter but we would have melted.

Pros: Great menu selection. Lots to choose from., Solid banana leaf offering., Very attentive and friendly servers.

Cons: Gets really busy., Did not turn on all of the fans. It was hot.

best indian vegetarian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Very good quality of the service, dishes are very cheap and the taste is amazing. We tried unlimited food but the first plate was big enough. So they are generous.

Pros: only vegetarian restaurant

Cons: none

Good Value

Unlimited thali for RM 7.40 is by far the best value veg meal in Brickfields. Great onion utthapam, if a tad on the entree-size side; and delicious whole grain idli. Not the best sambhar or chutneys I've ever had, and the food isn't terribly spicy; but overall, good value South Indian food in Brickfields.

**NOTE** most waitstaff don't really understand the concept of veganism; we were assured that the dessert contained no dairy, when it clearly did.

Pros: amazing value banana leaf thali, yummy (if small) utthapam , whole grain idli available

Cons: waitstaff do not know what dairy products are, very average sambhar and chutney, charges applied to water

Quick and good lunch

We had mock chicken, once Masala and once Butter chicken, both very good. The small portion (8rm) was enough for us for lunch. Very nice as well the hot ginger-lemon lemonade. Restaurant was not full but it was public holiday

Nice food

The food is really good and the place is neat. You can have typical south indian food here. They also serve a wide variety of mock meat, such as mutton, chicken and fish.

Good Pure Veg Indian Grub

In "Little India" area. Really busy place.

Lots of food at lunch buffet. Not exactly gourmet, but if you are hungry, this is the place. Big variety of rice, curry, veg, fake meats, even some deserts.

Pros: Lots of food, fun busy place

Cons: Not exactly peaceful
