"They talk about Curry Mile, well, this is Curry City."​
A walk around this enclave will immediately transport you back to the side-streets of Chennai or Mysore with it's throngs of people rushing past, brightly coloured buildings, shopwares spilling onto the street, chai-wallahs pouring their piping hot chai into plastic cups, garlands swaying in the wind, and the constant hum of mantras and music creating a surreal fog in which to explore.

Indian food is not the only delectable cuisine on offer in these parts, and in the following list we will give you enough reasons for repeated visits to really dig beneath the surface on what the area has to offer. Most travellers will have glanced at the main street from a taxi window on their way to KL Central for the airport train, but very few actually bed down in one of the numerous budget hotels and truly get to grips with the area. 

I spent over a month in Brickfields, researching heavily from local blogs, getting amazing tips from the guys at Tandang Record store, and following my nose. Below are my tips for five sensational meals in this lively (loud) part of town:

yarl

Yarl is a hip, inviting restaurant offering a solid Sri Lankan menu. Though Sri Lankan food can suffer slightly compared to it's Western neighbour, this place makes up for that with some truly delicious food.

Picture

vishal food & catering

Of the countless places offering banana leaf in Brickfields, this was definitely the most consistent.

Go at lunchtime when all the curries are served piping hot!

Picture

seni sattisoru

The owner claims to have invented the claypot dishes here, and by the looks of the crowds every day, maybe he's right.

Delicious, spicy, tender meat. Hit's all the right notes.

mr naan & mrs idly

Try the chole bathure, the dal tarka and the masala dosa at this unassuming restaurant.

​Their food is FIRE !!!

Picture

hyderabad biryani house

Be careful to find the right spot since 2 different restaurants nearby use a similar name to try and trick punters into eating their mediocre fare.

The real shop serves luscious food that sells out almost instantly. 

Get their eggplant curry too!

These recommendations are just personal opinions based on my palate, things change, chefs get fired or replaced, places open-close, relocate, so take it all with a pinch of MSG  and discover your own gems too. But please do try a few of these, they have been researched exhaustively.
