Best Malay Restaurants in KL

Chubit's Village Cafe serves Malaysian kampung favourites like Nasi Ayam Goreng Kunyit, Nasi Daging Kicap and Mee/ Bihun/ Kuey Tiaw Bandung Muar.

Complemented with a spectacular view of the city’s horizon, you will leave here with a satisfied palate and sight. Dishes here are particularly wide, with their Oxtail Soup leading the ensemble. Piquant lemongrass fish, tender braised beef, and grilled marinated chicken are also some of the dishes that will leave a mark on your taste buds. 

A hidden gem tucked smack in the midst of the ever so bustling Bangsar, Rebung is a homey and cozy restaurant to enjoy a good meal of traditional Malay cuisine. From the simplest forms of nasi lemak and rojak buah, to a robust serving of Curry Clams and Grilled Fish with sambal; the vibrant dishes here will never disappoint. 

There is no short of Malay restaurant in this country. While we may have that one Malay joint we keep going back to, sometimes it is a given to splurge a little and dine in an upscale place. At Bijan, they maintain the traditional cuisine and cultural decoration but one could enjoy simple pleasure made better. Traditional dishes like Chargrilled Marinated Beef Turmeric Gravy, Bijan Duck Rendang, and Sea Bass in Turmeric Curry are few of the signature dishes here. The prawns are big and juicy, and the beef and chicken well tenderised provides even more pleasure over the taste. Sampling the finest cultural dishes in a calming and romantic ambience is not as difficult as one might think. 

Looking for some local wonders in town can never be this simplified, with Warisan serving up some utterly fragrant and delicious dishes. Be it their top notch Nasi Kukus, drenched in spices and herbs, sided with a marvellous portion of fried chicken drumstick, or perhaps something a tad bit more robust like their Beef and Mutton Rendang. Tasting these umami coating dishes will instantaneously make your knees grow weak.
