Restoran Nasi Kandar Salam — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

Nasi Kandar Salam Restaurant in Petaling Jaya is known as one of the long-standing mamak-style eateries in the Damansara area. This restaurant has grown as part of the nasi kandar culinary tradition brought by the Indian Muslim community in Malaysia. Following in the footsteps of other mamak restaurants, it offers fast food with rich curry flavours and spicy sauces. In terms of atmosphere, Nasi Kandar Salam is more of a simple, everyday eatery, comfortable for workers, students, or families who want fast, filling, and delicious food.

Its signature dish is the chicken nasi kandar set with vegetables. The rice is fluffy and served with a choice of spiced fried chicken or curry chicken, plus vegetables such as stir-fried cabbage or long beans, then topped with the signature nasi kandar sauce, commonly known as ‘banjir kuah’ (flooded with sauce). The sauce has a rich flavour dominated by curry spices, with a hint of spiciness, savouriness, and a touch of sweetness from the sambal.

In terms of taste, the composition is balanced: a strongly flavoured curry sauce, white rice that is not too oily, and simple but filling side dishes. I chose beef with a sauce similar to rendang, chicken with a sauce similar to semur, and an omelette. I was hoping for a spicy flavour like the one I get when I enjoy a plate of Padang rice, but I didn't find it. It wasn't spicy at all, more sweet. So I didn't really...

This Indian Muslim restaurant is a solid spot for a quick, affordable meal. I ordered the roti canai, which was made fresh on the spot, and you can really taste the difference. It was fluffy, crispy on the edges, and packed with flavor, especially when paired with the rich, slightly spicy dhal.

The teh tarik, however, was just average—not as frothy or fragrant as some other places. But for the price, it’s hard to complain.

If you’re looking for cheap local food with great value, this place delivers. Simple, satisfying, and no fuss—just good roti...

First time i tried nasi kandar.

Firstly, i saw it a busy restaurant when i walked pass by a few times. But, they threated me as tourist and not interactive at all. It was bad dining experience.

Nasi kandar and foods were cold and tasted weird. They charged me rm30 for 2 prawns and a few small boiled eggs. They didn't explain the menu, and charged me 30 without no details. Menu are somewhere on the walls, fonts super small, i can't even see the items r price No manager or owner on site. They don't clean my table.

It's not worth...
