Curry is so good

The Curry was soo tasty and the Thosai was good too. Just the sauces for the Thosai could've been thicker for my like.
The Chocolate tarte was good but i'm pretty sure not self-made. So, a bit overprized. Unfortunately there are just a few vegan options of sweets and cakes.
Overall it was nice, staff was friendly and i would come back.

Simple, clearly labelled vegan

Small menu with efficient ordering system, but photos don't match what you get very well (the actual dish is bigger). Has vegan deserts.

My favourite Thali in town

Amazing vegan Thali, my favourite in town!

Nice portion size, fast service.

The ordering process is a little bit inconvenient, since you have to use your phone and scan the QR code, or at least we had to. It would be easier if you could just order directly by speaking with the many waiters. Old school, I know.

It is towards the end of the busy street in Little India, so the location is a little bit far from the MRT station, but that area is worth a visit anyway. So for a tourist it's not an issue in my opinion. And also, they are available for delivery online.

Apart from that, I love this restaurant. The service is fast, the portions are big and everything tastes amazing.

My favourite is definitely the Vegan Thali. It includes one "soup", that has a very unique but absolutely delicious taste. Although all the other little curries are great too. Also, I appreciate how you can get more Sambar without extra charge.

Pros: Amazing Vegan Thali, Free additional sambar

Great Local Food

I unfortunately only had the opportunity to eat this food via delivery (the ubiquitous Grab). I had the Nasi Lemak Rendang, which was awesome. I hope to get the opportunity to eat there in person next time I’m in KL.

Delicious Indian Food in Little India

We came here for breakfast on a weekday and it was not very crowded, so the food came out quickly. The Tosais (marked vegan) made for a lovely breakfast.

Authentic Malay/Indian cuisine with lots of vegan 🌱 options

I already had marked the little Indian district on my map 🗺️ and was pleasantly surprised that this Café was here.
You order vid QR code. On another review I saw that someone asked for coffee with soy milk 🥛 - so helpful! It wasn’t on the menu so I asked and they had to go back and check but we’re able to do it.
My photos show that I clearly had no idea what I was ordering but it tasted ver good. I simply went with something I never had before and is vegan.

I had the vegan mango 🥭 cake 🍰 to go - which was just scrumptious! I don’t think I ever had mango jam as a filling and really like it!

The lady working here is really the loveliest!

Everything in the menu that is or can be made vegan is clearly marked! When we first entered we asked about vegan and the lady working here showed us the options and assured us it could be made without ghee. She even said they carry soy milk for vegan ice coffee, tea etc. The food itself was amazing, full of flavour! Also very cheap (around 13 MYR for a thali).
You just can’t miss this place, true gem!

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options , Sweet lady working here! , Cheap and fresh!

AMAZING FOOD!

There was a variety of options. I'm not sure if it's vegan but vegetarian for sure. The food tasted Amazing, beyond amazing! Exactly like home-cooked meal. The desserts were so good! Generous quantity and I loved dining with the rama nama songs/chants. This defines HEARTY MEAL.

Great food and cakes

The soya rendang was delicious and the cakes has all so far been great too. Cakes are a bit pricey but it’s still worth it as they’ve got great variety and their location is perfectly located in Brickfields.

Such a good experience

We loved our meal at Nadia Vege Cafe!
First of all, it is very easy to find. On Jalan Tun Sambanthan, look out for the Nadia Dental Clinic - the cafe is located in the same building at a side entrance.
Once inside and seated, we told the waitress that we wanted a vegan meal. It was lunchtime and only the thali and three Malaysian dishes, including Nasi Lemak, were available, and we chose the thali.
The chef (and owner?) came to us and checked back with us that we were vegan and ensured us that she would cook a completely vegan meal for us. She brought it to us after a short time and explained every part of the thali to us.
The food was truly delicious and rich in variety!
Apparently, vegan meals are not marked on the menu, but if you talk to the staff, it is not a problem at all to have a vegan meal here. We felt so welcome and it was great to see that they really understand veganism and do not see it as an inconvenience.

Safe place for trying out Indian and Malaysian vegan foods

Upon entering around 2.30PM a Sunday, the place was quite packed. A good sign considering the number of restaurant in that area.

The menu did not provide any information about vegan dishes... but the waiter knew exactly what being vegan means and told me which dishes I could safely order. I chose the Soya Ocean Nasi Lemak. It was served about 5 minutes later, which, considering how crowded the restaurant was, seemed really fast to me (but the again, maybe everyone had already received their order).

I'm not a Nasi Lemak conoisseur, but I definitely enjoyed my food.

Finally, upon paying the bill, I had a nice conversation with some of the staff (or the owner?) and they told me the menu was planned to be updated with vegan related information.

A very positive experience. I'll be back.

Pros: Very good service, Cheap food, Quite comfortable
