From very humbled beginnings originating from Penang, 3 friends with a passion for food & hearts dedicated to the locals, started from a corner shop & built it into the famed chain it is today with an impressive 28 restaurants across Malaysia & even offering catering services for events. Having the honour to be approached by them to taste their food, we armed ourselves with our Leica & our rumbly tummies. Boy were we in for a treat! We were treated to a spread of local delicacies such as Nasi Minyak, Nasi Briyani, Lamb Shank, Kari Kepala Ikan, Udang Goreng, Burung Puyuh and Chettinadu Chicken accompanied by sides such as Sayur Kobis & Dalca. The Nasi Minyak & Nasi Biryani was leaning towards the lighter end of the scale taste wise. However, this might have been intentional as every other dish was flavourful & simply exploding with spices. Therefore, had both Nasi been a little stronger tasting the end result might have been over powering. But in this case, they went in perfect harmony. From the texture & flavours we could tell the ingredients used were fresh & more importantly dishes such as the Burung Puyuh & Chettinadu Chicken were juicy & tender within. In addition, the curries were simply bursting with aromatic flavour with a splash of bitter sweet & a touch of citrus leaving us craving for more. Though their dishes were a little spicy, it was simply too addictive to resist resulting in us flooding our Nasi with more. Thereafter we were given a short tour of the restaurant including the counter & kitchen where the cooks make the magic happen! All in all a very delicious meal & delightful experience! If you are looking for a place to Buka Puasa during this Ramadan period or simply a place to enjoy a local meal, look no further! Our full review is on Instagram (@monk3yseendo)

This is a lucky find for me. Walked pass and decided to give it a try. Not bad google map reviews for this place. It was about 9+ in the evening and there many people piling into the place. Many tables and it was filling up fast. Luckily still short queue about 10mins. Nasi kandar served with briyani rice is just amazing delicious. Soaked my rice with different curries and sauces. Added fried chicken, squid, hard boiled eggs, lady fingers and a beautiful lamb shank. My bill came up to RM82 with the lamb shank taking up most of it. I must say I totally enjoyed all that food. And washed it all down with a tall cup of ice lemon tea at RM2.55. You can order other food/drinks at your table from any of the many servers walking around. Only Nasi Kandar needs queueing to select your choice of dishes. After you order your stuff, the server will provide you with a numbered payment card/stand which you have to bring to the cashier once you are done with your meal. Simple and fuss-free. I am adding my 5stars for this place, hope you guys enjoy it too.

Ridiculously overpriced. First I thought it was all together so I just went to the first food stall, then realized it's all different food stalls. No wonder why this one was the least busy. The guy serving immediately wanted to serve me a lot even though I told him not to because I wanted to try first and there is a lot so why just try one thing, then when they were counting the items he started to put more without even asking, then his colleague came up with a total of 70+ for a plate that you can easily find on the streets for a fraction of the price. I then told him I would rather cancel and go elsewhere so he removed 2 pieces of shrimp and suddenly became 37, which is still a very high price but he insisted I could not cancel, I didn't want to argue so I just paid but honestly if these are the prices at this place, they are beyond insane. I got to add that I thought about paying with credit card to not run out of cash so he took my cc and I wanted to be there to be safe, cloning is very popular here, he told me to stay but I couldn't trust so I just went to the counter to get back my cc and pay in cash although he had it for some time, enough to do something. What a rip off! I do not recommend coming here. If you walk a block from here you will find a street full of hawkers selling the same food.

Came here for late breakfast with my wife for our first meal in Malaysia and we were not disappointed. It is almost a cafeteria style restaurant where you can order from different stations. There is a wide variety of food to choose from, as you can see the menu is quite extensive. We ordered the Briyani with chicken, poori set and roti canai. The chicken was Ayam Goreng (fried chicken) with a tandoori style seasoning and although it was not very warm, it was still very tasty. There was a slightly spicy curry sauce to pour over the briyani and there was an onion raita (Indian side dish made with sliced onions, curd, salt, green chilies and coriander leaves) to go along with that as well. When mixed all together with the rice, it was amazing. The roti canai and poori set were also delicious and full of flavor… I wanted to lick the plate clean 😂. Highly recommend for local cuisine at a reasonable price.

This is my first time visiting this restaurant. Why 3 stars? -1 star deducted because of limited parking spots and very crowded. Though i must admit the good location for attracting customers because it is literally beside W hotel and KLCC is just right behind the restaurant. -Another star deducted because of the rude worker that handles at Nasi Campur section. While i was choosing which dish that i’d like to have, he asked me to be quick by saying “cepat cepat cepat!” with a stern voice. His face expression says it all. There was only a customer behind me and there was nothing to be rush of. Nevertheless, other mamak waiters provide fast service to us. They quickly took our orders as soon we were seated. -The mee goreng mamak is delicious for me, its unique taste differs from other regular mee goreng mamak. The nasi campur is nice as well, just like regular nasi at other mamak stalls.

It was my first time ever having Nasi Kandar and it absolutely did not disappoint. All of the curries were delicious in their own right which melded perfectly over the rice. The Curry Chicken was tender, juicy and hearty. The Daging (Beef) wasn't too sweet and very savoury. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, not raw but still crunchy and delicious. The star of the show though, was the Ayam Goreng. Seasoned to the bone and extremely fragrant, it was simply to die for. The workers were very patient and gave generous portions of all ingredients I asked for. I didn't even need to worry about the language barrier as all I needed to do was point to what ingredients I wanted and they prompted added them to my plate. Evidently, I simply could not find a single fault in my entire experience here. I will definitely make it a point to come back the next time I'm in KLCC!
