Nasi Kandar Pelita

The origin of nasi kandar, an Indian Muslim dish, can be traced to the very streets of colonial Malaysia. Here, amidst the proud houses and bustle of life, a lone figure would trek through the dusty streets, bearing baskets of food and rice hanging from a yoke across his shoulder.

The Hilton concierge recommended this place to us because we wanted to have a true local breakfast in the neighborhood . The Indian thosasis (dosa ) come with 3 curries . We loved it! Yes, brisk service.

Elaine Marley

So tasty! Great service! We had masala tosai , sup ayam and rice with chicken and veggies . Great variety of food from Malay to Indian

Ras

Must order the nasi kandar, crab , prawn & squid curry .Roti canai & teh tarik is yummy. Worth the money.

Hairil Ikram

The best in KL.. as I am from Penang and lived there for many years before, this is the closest to original nasi kandar..never had any bad experience before, service is quite prompt for this branch.

Djoni Sutji

Best nasi kandar malaysia, try also mutton soup ! Very good

Alicia Oh

The nasi kandar is really delicious. The line can be long during lunch time but service is fast and efficient.

Nicky Haznick

...’main reason gov allowed patrons to dine in 4 paxs per table durin’ extended mco’s(19th Feb 21-04th Mar 21) is ‘cause to kick start restaurant revenue’..

Cristo

New address, just next to BSN and previous Zouk location

Suhail

What an incredible place. After spending 3 days in KL I have to say, this is the best place for local food and local vibe. The mango lassi and chai were incredible!

Joe Lee

A franchise that can be found all over KL, the 24 hour eatery is Indian Muslim fare. A choice hang-out after-hours when you get the munchies after a hard night's partying.

Noornajila

Oh i love being here! Their tosei and nasi kandar...marvelous!!!

KhadRa

Nasi kandar (vege , salted egg , a slice of mutton ). I've had it banjir -i.e. a mixture of different curry on my ricePrice: RM 11+Taste: OK. Quite pricey

Terror Risk

Not many customers at this time. Having a quick snack while waiting for meeting with Petronas to convene. Thx usual stuff - Roti Canai with curry & spice.

Eva West

???? Ariyali Tikka is the best with garlic nan and the mango lassi is very good as well ????

Alessandro Nizamo

The waiter were soo nice, and very good at being an asshole. Especially the dude with the elvis sideburns. If only...

Terror Risk

Having quick lunch here before meeting another customer. Hungry like a horse so, curry chicken with fried squid and vegetables will do just fine for now.

Melissa Zainuddin

Nasi Kandaq of course! Rice , kuah campoq, fish , daging hitam, teloq rebuih and bendi rebuih....that's how you eat proper nasi kandaq =)

Lane Watson

The location itself is good enough to indicate that this plate of rice is RM23 w 1 mini tight + 1 sotong & some other vege .

Rafi

Really love the sotong (calamari/squid). The curry cooked better than the fried ones

Ed Jack

really crowded , no space to seat. Parking also full. (12am to 2.30am)

Bella Arina Almizar

The place is spacious . Nice ice lemon tea . The portion is a lot even for me..I only ate half of the nasi briyani with nice crispy chicken

$h@w|n ????

Maggi Goreng Kambing with Telur Mata ... awesomeness!

Melinda Borzsak-Schramm

Most amazing authentic Malaysian/Indian food- divine! Also super friendly service and very cheap .

MNasir

Their nasi kandar is always fresh even in the middle of the nite. Good combination of kuah curry makes nasi kandar delicious!!!!! Wunderbar....

Passion4Travel ♀Rema

Only love their Cheese roti ????

Natasha Haqim

Mee goreng and cheese naan recommended. I would come here just for the mee goreng . It's goooooodddd!

indhie

Thosai bread is my favorite. Thosai onion makes me feel healthy. Thossai masala makes me really full.

Jai Othman

Do not put too high expectations when u dine in here. Other than limited parking , the service in kinda slow especially on peak hours. It took more than atleast 15mins for ur orders to be served.

Haryati Sugianto

The portion is craaaaaaaazy. If you're a big eater then you'll leave feeling satisfied ;)

Jim Bailey

Traditional KL restaurant with Asian (Indian, Malay) fusion. Chicken Tandoori and Fish Tikka trashed exactly the same. The curries served with the meal lack any flavor or spunk. Average meal at best.

Syra

Recommended by the locals to come here. The biggest Pelita restaurant in KL, I guess.

_ean_

Curry is good but too expensive ! RM25 for nasi kandar with only one piece of sotong and one piece of prawn , and a pathetic amount of vege . Tried both indomie and Maggie mee goreng with eggs , TERRIBLE!

Mohamad Najib Sulaiman

Puyuh is tender. Gotta try the calamari , next!!

Enzo Lim Choon Hiong

Lai P Lon

Helena

Love their lauk. So many choices and price is reasonable.

Azadé Ré

Try "Reshmee Kebab"here. It's amazing!!

sa.fadhil .

the combination of daal and curry is the best

Arricson Chin

need to sat in front of the kitchen! ! else no waiter is lazy to walk to take order from you!!! and the business too "good" til forgot you!!!!

Giri Dev Nair

Decent tasting nasi kandar. Variety of lauk and tasty too!

Kye Tay

No nasi lemak after 5:30pm. Maggi goreng tambah telur mata is a must-order! Yum!

Ivy Chai

Great good, but soo expensive until can die like dat (read:cut throat).

William Ng

A bit difficult to get the attention of the staff here. I like their thosai.

MJ

The Roti Canai and Nasi Kandar is delicious!!

Nicky Haznick

..'limited parkin' for this mamak ..lotsa clubbers will stopped over here to get some grubs after club sessions and plus thai club just beside this mamak joint(wisma central)'..

Budin NJ

Nice nasi kandar joint and fast service too... !

Mirza Sabrina

Food here is really good. Good place if you want to eat Nasi Kandar :)

Rajibudeen Abultalibu

One of the best Mamak food for Mee+KoeyTiaw Goreng .

Ed Na Lai

Service still painfully slow. While nothing can be done about parking , at least improve the service. Waiters rather stand by drinks counter waiting for drinks than to take order from customers.
