2017/07/21 Update: GOPALA IS GONE!!! - Edit
UPDATE: Visited July 21, 2017, found it replaced by an Indian veg/non veg banana leaf restaurant: see photos.
==========================================
Outside of India, not too easy to find Indian food prepared without onion or garlic. So I was eager to try. Went three times (at the new location), and was never disappointed.
Menu includes 266 items and 78 drinks! Offers South Indian, paratha, tandoori, naan, some North Indian, Malaysian, Chinese, burgers/fries, salads. Looking forward to returning: I think I should be able to find something to try!

Food alright but atmosphere not so good - Edit
I went here in December 2016. Food tasted fresh but lacking abit of flavour. Most menu items is vegan although some items in the menu do contain milk. You can request for vegan options. Restaurant is clean compared to other indian vegetarian restaurants. Atmosphere of place and staff that worked there made me not feel very welcomed. Person on the phone was polite though.
Pros: clean restaurant, good food
Cons: not fully vegan menu, unpleasant atmosphere

Nothing special - Edit
Common Indian restaurant. There is no Chinese and western food, just only Indian. No air-con. I know better vegetarian restaurants in this area.

Fabulous Variety of food. - Edit
We had a long day and needed a meal, this was a short walk from our Le Meridian hotel. The variety was great and so was the meal. A very pleasant english speaking guy serve us our food and there was no problem in asking for less spicy food, they asked!
The satay was really nice and so was the mee mammak? Intending to return for a 2nd visit tomorrow.
Pros: Inexpensive, Near to hotel

Excellent variety - Edit
I've dined here a few times and I've not been disappointed. Great choice of Indian/Chinese/Malay/Western dishes, although as some reviewers have already mentioned they do have a tendency to push you to order the specials. Last time I had the mock fried fish sambal with rice. Great flavour and very spicy, which was pleasing as some veggie places don't add enough chilli heat for my liking. The thali plates are also good but not filling enough for me.
There's an air conditioned room if you want to cool down but the ceiling fans in the main area make it cool enough for most.
Pros: Good selection of dishes, Clean and comfortable, Reasonably priced
Cons: Over-emphasis on the daily specials

Hole in the wall with good tali plate - Edit
Hole in the wall off a side street off Jln Tun Sambanthan 4 (close to the JLn Tun Sambanthan monorail and KL sentral). Has standard tali plate with increasing options for more curries. Inexpensive, tasty, a bit spicy. Have eaten there twice without getting sick.
Pros: good food, inexpensive
Cons: environment

awesome vegetarian foods - Edit
gopala's always been my favourite vegetarian restaurant everytime i pay a visit to nearby temples.variety of foods plus the hospitalitity from the waiters make me to dine again and again.best foods i've tried so far would be nasi lemak, mushroom fried rice, kashmir rice and kampung fried rice.even the environment is quite nice plus reasonable price.it's basically a hare rama hare krishna's restaurant, so needs no worries on purification of the foods.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, good value

About Gopala - Edit
Although it is open for breakfast and lunch, offerings are limited. Opting for dinner solves this problem. Ask for a waiter who can speak English and stress that orders placed by different individuals at table should be served (more or less) simultaneously. It's not much fun watching (and listening) to another person at table finish his meal before you have even been served. If you want traditinal South Indian fare, seek clarification before placing your order
Pros: dinner menu is good
Cons: Orders placed arrive at different times, Waiters who can't speak English

Fun, convenient, tasty - Edit
I enjoyed the heck out of this place, while it's true that there may be better South Indian food to seek out in KL, this place is fun and has a nice atmosphere... it's open late (till 1 a.m.) and has a very spiritual vibe going on, lots of families, religious people and activities happening late into the eve - at least the times I was there.
Can't say too much about the food as I only had a few dosas which were average or above-average, but I'd still definitely recommend giving the place try.
Pros: nice atmosphere, open late, nice food
Cons: not the best Indian in KL

Disappointed by this Indian restuarant - Edit
I was really disappointed by this Indian vege restuarant - you can find plenty of better, tastier Indian vege food elsewhere in KL. The service was frustrating and the staff obessed with 'upselling' everything - from the air-cond room to the daily 'specials'. The waiter wouldn't even listen to what we wanted to order. I found the food a little average - tasty enough but no better than other Indian restuarants I found elsewhere. I find it hard to recommend this place.
Pros: Air con
Cons: Pushy staff, Average food
Excellent - Edit
This is a really great little restaurant in the backstreets of Brickfields about one minute from the monorail station.
The restaurant is divided into two sections, aircon and non aircon and both are atmospheric. Lovely music from ISKON is played while dining and staff are friendly, unobtrusive and efficient.
We ordered thali sets in the aircon section and both the quantity and quality were top notch. The food is authentic and karma free and was absolutely delicious, washed down with lassi. The total price of such a meal was very reasonable and good value indeed and now that I have found such a fabulous little Indian eatery, I'll be back there whenever I am passing through KL Sentral. Highly recommended.
Pros: The food, the comfortable aircon section, Decent staff
Cons: None that I saw

Yummy "Satay" - Edit
You must try their "Satay"..really delicious and also their hot spicy "mee goreng". In fact we were a bit disappointed cos we cant find any Indian mee rojak around that area. Hope they will offer that one day.
Pros: friendly staff, reasonal price, clean
Cons: No Indian mee Rojak
