Saravana Bhavan

Kuala Lumpur


This global chain of restaurants offers some of the best-quality vegetarian Indian food you'll find in KL. Their banana-leaf and mini-tiffin feasts are supremely tasty and you can also sample southern Indian classics such as masala dosa (rice-and-lentil crepe stuffed with spiced potatoes).

You'll also find branches in Bangsar, Brickfields and in the Signatures Food Court at the Suria KLCC mall.
