BEST INDIAN FOOD IN BRICKFIELDS, KUALA LUMPUR
https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...e4e2e34c57352e
It may seem a little strange to do a listing of Indian eateries in KL’s Little India, but many restaurants there pass off sub-standard food, at outrageous prices. Thus this list of little-known treasures found in Brickfields, specially written for those asking about them.
1. MATHAI’S started out selling BLR at Peking restaurant in the 60s. The son Moorthy has now taken over and the stall is now located at Mayflower Food court behind Legends, in Jalan Vivekananda. Their USP is the fried fish – thick chunks, fried to perfection. They serve Kerala fish curry, which uses diluted yogurt. My personal recommendation – don’t miss the prawn masala – I can just eat plain rice with it! A fish meal with 3 vegetables will cost RM10. They also serve fish-head at reasonable price.
2. SELVAM’S CORNER faces the old Peking hotel at Lorong Chan Ah Tong and was a Xerox of Mathai’s in the 80s. Today, they serve very good fried fish (thick chunks too) and excellent fish cutlet. Friends swear by their chicken perattal. No BLR but the set comes with 3 vegetables and fish for around RM7. Do try their various thuvayal though they always seem to run out of appalam.
3. TARANI FOOD CORNER is inside the food court at the back of Selvam’s Corner. Here you will be given a tray with banana leaf and you can choose your vegetables and main dish. Again, the specialty is the freshly fried fish and chicken – both are huge. A complete meal costs less than RM10.
4. LAWANYA CATERERS is along the side lanes off Scott Road. The owner is one nice lady Chellam and has been operating this stall since the 1990s. The USP here is using claypots to hold the food – an amazing variety of home-style vegetables. Chicken varuval and mutton seem to be the crowd favourite. Not so much the miserable-looking fish. Open only during office hours.
5. ASOKA RESTAURANT at Jalan Thamby Abdullah 1 was introduced to me by a Brickfields-resident of over 40 years. Away from the hustle and bustle of Brickfields, you can park within the compounds of the large BLR restaurant. Food is old-fashioned and is very reasonably priced.
6. GANDHI’S VEGETARIAN is at Scott Sentral at the intersection of Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad and Jalan Tun Sambanthan 3. The restaurant started as a stall, selling vegetarian fried rice in the corner stalls opposite Sri Kota. I still remember his sweet smile and friendly service. Sadly, he is no more to be seen. Gandhi’s serves a wide variety of Malaysian Indian food – fusion of Malay, Chinese & Indian. Very good variety. Don’t miss their vege satay (served after 4pm).
7. JAYA CATERING at Jalan Thambipillai is the Penang chain of restaurants. I have ate many times at their PJ State outlet, but haven’t tried the Brickfields branch. Food should be good and price, reasonable.
8. VILLA SCOTT BLR Restaurant, is at Jalan Tebing along the same road as Kandaswamy temple. Another KL friend likes this place. Reasonable taste and prices.
9. SITHIQUE NASI KANDAR is my favourite nasi kandar in KL. Excellent food with very reasonable prices. A typical plate of rice, fish, sotong and vegetables will cost only around RM8.
10. CHAT MASALA for authentic Indian vegetarian fare. Don’t miss their filter coffee and idli’s. And batura. And pani puri. And Aloo paratha.
11. GOPALA’S at Jalan Thambipillai is another vegetarian joint. Clean and nice, the place is known for their thaali meals. No onions or garlic here.
12. RADHEY’S at Jalan Tun Sambanthan 3 is the upper-class version of Gopala’s. If you need to impress your guest, you know where to go. But parking can be hell. Try parking near the Kandaswamy temple.
13. Besides all the above, you have the usual high-class restaurants of Anjappar, Saravana Bhavan, Gem and Annalakshmi.
14. I have not mentioned the obvious ones of Seetharam, Sri Pandi’s, Kortumalai, Naga’s, Kaveri, Vishal, Visalatchi, Legend’s Claypot, Malabar Kitchen and lesser ones like Yarl Corner. I simply do not go to these places which are more for tourists and those who do not know of the treasures within Brickfields.
Bon apetit! :)

Where did rasgulla come from?
