Kuala Lumpur Dining Guide for Muslim Travellers

Kuala Lumpur is known for its variety of cuisine, where you can find authentic Chinese, Indian and even international fare at various price points. Many restaurants now cater to Muslim diners by omitting pork and alcohol from their menu, but if you’re still feeling uneasy about dining in KL, mamak stalls (Tamil Muslim) as well as Chinese Muslim and Malay-owned eateries are your best bet as they use halal ingredients and cooking methods for their dishes.
We’ve compiled a helpful guide of where to find Halal restaurants and cafes in KL, from hipster cafes serving innovative fusion fare to local dining options where you can enjoy authentic Malaysian dishes such as nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk and served with various condiments), rendang (spicy stewed meat), and chapatti (flatbread usually eaten with curry or dhal).
