“ Ended up enjoying the northern Indian thali set here! Simply changed my mind to give a try instead of my go go place thats the next door Saravana bhavan. The price is rm 18 something including the tea! The spinachish mixed with a bit of daal curry is my favorite! Fries bitter gourd is kinda oily. The chapati is thick side than light fluffy! But it's still ok taste when its freshly made hot. Rasam and lalita are pretty refreshing and taste just as good as expected. They have south Indian thai set that's 3 ram less having less items obviously. One note is the both south and north thali sets are meatless, so ideal for vegans dieters. For meat lovers like me, gotta order to meat dishes separately to fulfill the protein intake. You know what I mean? In any case, the quality and quantity is very satisfying overall. Give a try! Yum yum! ”

“ Their mutton biryani was delicious. The mutton was tender and they were generous with the meat. And for drink you guys must try the masala tea. Its sooo delicious ”

“ Good service. No pen or paper but all items served promptly by the waiter. Excellent memory. The rawa thosai is done well. The vadei is also yummy. Brewed coffee pretty decent. Located in the old part of KL. A short walk from St johns cathedral. So if u happen to attend early morning mass which starts at 630am and ends around 7am, best to take a short walk downhill and have breakfast to avoid the school going traffic headed towards St johns and CBN. ”

“ Had my lunch here after some light shopping , I really like this shop for their chicken 65 . It’s a underrated yet must try dish in this shop Their service is fast and the chicken 65 is only fried upon request so it’s hot and fresh I had my meal with rice , sambar , tauhu Sambal , chicken 65 and appalam is given . Drink I had Milo ice . All in cost me around RM23 including drinks for the meal served . For me it’s really worth , because the curries are really good . Food is fresh and tasty so I’ll definitely recommend this shop The only minus is that it can get crowded at times so you might need to wait for a seat , otherwise everything is good ”

“ Mee mamak here so so only. But the pasumpal brew coffee is easily one of the best in the area. Staffs are friendly and it’s well air conditioned. Curries here are pretty good too. Price is reasonable. Another highlight here is the desserts and snack food here. Highly Recommended. ”

“ Had Masala Dosa, Kopi Tarik (which was too sweet), chili idli. Overall food was good and service was decent. ”

“ Do you want to try some local excellence? Come here and get the butter chicken, and a side of rice. Chapatti is superb. The egg bread tortilla thing was also fantastic. Simple and incredible and i think i ate here 7 times over the past few weeks. I think i paid 15-25rm and i would say its a great value. Also they take tap to pay and i have been out of cash and unable to get mosre, so that was great. ”

“ We were a group of four colleagues looking for a good banana leaf lunch spot, and Restoran Kader really hit the mark. On Monday, 28 July 2025, we took the LRT from KLCC to Masjid Jamek (super quick and easy), then walked about 5 minutes through the bustling and colourful Leboh Ampang. The street is full of charm—heritage shoplots, Tamil signage, and the unmistakable aroma of spices in the air. That’s when we spotted Kader, tucked modestly among a row of Indian eateries. What makes Kader special is that it’s been around for over 30 years, quietly building a reputation among locals as a hidden gem for authentic Indian Muslim food. It’s not fancy or trendy—just honest, traditional cooking done right. This is a classic banana leaf / mamak-style restaurant, offering everything from varuval, thosai, and roti canai to mutton curry, fish sambal, and crispy fried chicken. The restaurant occupies two floors. The ground floor was packed during lunch hour, so we made our way upstairs—and that turned out to be a great decision. The air-conditioned upper floor was clean, quiet, and surprisingly spacious. Purple tablecloths, maroon chairs, soft lighting, and a laid-back vibe made it ideal for relaxing and enjoying a good meal. Now for the food: Ayam Goreng Berempah – Crispy, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken leg was tender, with golden, crunchy spice crumbs and a squeeze of lime to brighten the flavours. Chilli Chicken & Mutton Varuval – Both dishes were outstanding. The chilli chicken had that classic reddish masala, slightly tangy and spicy, while the mutton varuval was deep, dry-cooked, and aromatic with curry leaves and onions. Ikan Goreng – Simple but solid. A thick slice of fish, fried to a crisp and served with a lime wedge. Balanced well with the rice and sides. Buttermilk Drink – Served in a big blue plastic glass, chilled and slightly salty. The perfect drink to cool things down after all that spice. Everything came banana-leaf style, with generous scoops of white rice, crispy papadum, and three tasty veggie sides—keerai kootu (spinach and dal), turmeric stir-fried gourd, and spicy brinjal curry. We ate with our hands, which made the experience even more immersive and fun. The upstairs service was relaxed but friendly—nothing overly formal, but attentive enough. It’s mostly semi-self-service (you might serve yourself curry or ask for top-ups), but that’s part of the charm in this kind of setting. We also noticed a nice snack and sweets counter downstairs, where you can grab murukku, mixture, vadai, and other Indian snacks to go. There’s a dosa station too, plus trays of colourful sweets and the usual suspects like rasam, pickles, and chutneys neatly arranged at the drinks counter. It’s clear that Kader isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a little hub of Tamil food culture. Prices were very reasonable, especially for such a central KL location. We left full, satisfied, and without denting our wallets. The only minor setback is the cleanliness and organisation on the ground floor. During peak hours, it felt a little chaotic—tables weren’t cleared as quickly, and the counter area was a bit crowded and messy. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but it’s worth noting if you prefer a tidier environment. If that’s a concern, just head upstairs—it’s much calmer and more enjoyable. ”
