Our go-to restaurants and cafes for feel-good North and South Indian fares
Here's a secret: Indian meals at my house are few and far between, more often than not enjoyed over a special occasion. That's why it's always a delight to stumble upon eateries in the Klang Valley that defy expectations and bring a little zest to the table. In my book, these are the restaurants that go above and beyond to give their brand of Indian cuisine a world-class gourmet touch.

1. Gajaa at 8
Situated in Bangsar's Lorong Maarof, Gajaa At 8 looks more like a grand and colourful private residence than a curbside restaurant. The tagline 'Royal Indian cuisine' is an apt description of the restaurant's flavourful take on Kerala food; and dishes here balance flavour, presentation and innovation beautifully. Give the seasonal brinjal masala at Gajaa At 8 a try, as well as the prawn butter masala or the lime-infused fried Mauritian mackerel on your next foodie adventure to Bangsar.
