From appetisers to mains and desserts, you will find plenty of them to explore when comes to North Indian cuisine. Stuffed potato-filled aloo paratha, creamy butter chicken, sweet & milky grated carrots-based Gajar Ka Halwa and more! And here is our 2022 list of Top 10 North Indian Restaurants in KL & Selangor.
1) Restoran Masalawala
Just like Restoran Masalawala’s clean and no-frills interior, what you get here is an authentic North Indian cuisine that is full of flavours and spices. Start your day with their bestselling Amritsari Chole Bhature — a spongy deep-fried bread with a side serving of Punjabi-style chickpea curry. Come lunchtime, they have assorted biryani dishes such as their Signature Chicken Bombay Biryani served with aromatic basmati rice and marinated chicken pieces. But if you prefer a la carte varieties, try the traditional North Indian-style Chicken Curry or go for the hearty paneer like Kadai Paneer and Paneer Butter Masala.
2) Tandoor Grill Kuala Lumpur
Located in Berjaya Central Park, Tandoor Grill serves mouthwatering North Indian foods in the comfort of a classy interior. Their menu, in the meantime, covers a wide range of flavourful dishes like spicy and creamy Butter Chicken and the aromatic Masala Biryani. The latter turns out to be one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, where they only use the best quality basmati rice possible. Given the name of the restaurant, their share-worthy Tandoor Ki Thaal comes highly recommended — a platter consisting of chicken and seafood varieties including a quarter tandoori chicken, tandoori garlic prawns, mutton seekh kebab and more.

3) Namaste India Hartamas
Beyond its elegant interior lies a restaurant that knows a thing or two about offering tantalisingly good North Indian cuisine. And here, at the Namaste India Hartamas branch, some of their recommended dishes include the Amritsari Chole with Stuffed Bhatura, Boneless Butter Chicken and Chicken Biryani. Remember to save some room for a dessert, namely Gaajar Halwa (grated carrots reduced in milk & assorted dried fruits) and the creamy frozen treat of kulfi (available in Kesar, mango or rose flavours).
