1212 Restaurant | BBQ Restaurant | Indian Restaurant in KL — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Indian-Pakistani restaurant on the second floor. Cash and credit cards accepted.

I'm no expert on Indian or Pakistani food, but this was good. I ordered the chef's specialty, stewed lamb in a rich tomato gravy. Spicy - the kind of slow burn that stays with you. Lamb was mostly tender and the flavors were impressive throughout. Served solo, so I ordered a side of white rice and one naan bread. Rice was perfectly cooked. The garlic naan was delicious and covered with diced garlic.

Before the meal came out they brought a basket of papadams and a dipping sauce (I assume) that was tasty. The papadams were melt-in-your mouth light and very crisp.

Definitely would eat here again. But don't take my word for it!

When I arrived about 9pm the place was empty. Ten minutes after I sat down and ordered at least 70+ people started coming in. Wave after wave of them and judging from their saris they know whether Indian and Pakistani food is any good or not. They didn't sit down to order but went straight to the buffet table (which I hadn't noticed when I came in). By the time I finished my meal every seat in the house was taken and I hurried up and paid and left so they could have my table as well.

My server said the same thing happens every night - up to 200 people coming in for dinner (lunch as well). So, if that's the case they obviously know what they're doing in...

Let me give a warm shoutout to the very hospitable people in this restaurant. Their manager, staff gave the best hospitality that I received in my 3 days in Malaysia.

Located near KL tower and near Bukit Bintang and nearby good hotels. If you long for comfort food, go here.

And about their hospitability : Let me tell an incident that happened today. We were late to get on the coach that would take us back to hotel. We were stranded at KL tower. We walked back directly to this restaurant and it was almost 3:30 PM(well over their lunch buffet time) The manager and staff was courteous. We explained the situation to them and asked if they can give anything for my senior citizer parents. They served the whole buffet at the table and it was delicious.

It's these little things that matter. Love u guys keep doing...

Lunch buffet menu is a total scam. The misleading menu will surely make you question yourself for choosing this place. The place is crowded with people who will only cut your line, with no regard to minimum etiquette.

The online menu had lamb rogan josh and jalebi, but no where to be found as the chef didn't even cook those or even replace it with similar menu. You have to order and wait for 20minutes for appetizers/lemon juice/tandoori chicken as they prepare it in kitchen (not even behind counters) . How the hell is it buffet if you have to order tandoori chicken in buffet?

Worst buffet in bukit bintang, the food is below...
