Good food but not the best experience - Edit
The staff is rude. The place is chaotic. It's not easy to order or to know how to go about eating from the buffet.
Read moreThat said, the prices are fair and the food is tasty.
You can do better for veg options in the area, but you can do worst for sure.
They are opened super late, so there's that.
Pros: Opened past midnight , Tasty Aloo parata, Affordable
Cons: Rude and unhelpful staff , Chaotic place with staff yelling at each other, Prices charged can differ from the menu

Good vegetarian Indian and Malaysian food - Edit
I ordered delivery from this restaurant to my hotel using Grab. The food was very delicious. I loved the vegetarian ikan bakar (grilled fish), and the veggie mutton curry. I also got the Tom Yam veggie chicken which was good. Delicious but some may find the food too spicy.

A true gem among the chaos - Edit
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gandhi's Vegetarian Restaurant, and I must say that the food experience left a lasting impression. In terms of Indian cuisine, I would confidently place their dishes among my top three favorites globally. The flavors and quality of their food are truly exceptional.
Read moreHowever, I cannot help but acknowledge that the atmosphere of the restaurant leaves something to be desired. The dining area can be hot and humid, which can make the dining experience somewhat uncomfortable, especially in warm weather. Additionally, the system in place may come across as a bit chaotic, which might not appeal to those seeking a more organized dining environment.
Despite these minor inconveniences, I believe Gandhi's Vegetarian Restaurant is a true gem among the chaos. Its culinary offerings are undeniably outstanding, and for those willing to look past the atmospheric challenges, it promises a memorable and delectable Indian dining experience.
Pros: Exceptional food quality and options
Cons: Uncomfortable atmosphere, Chaotic system

The cozy place along the day - Edit
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, tea time and dinner with different varieties. Traditional is what I like most that shown the real food taste.
Read moreThe place located at a cozy place which can comfortably sit here along the day. Either late morning or late afternoon, without air-conditioned is OK. The food also not contain garlic and onion which very suitable for most of the religious people. Keep it up
Pros: Breakfast, Lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, No garlic and onion, Traditional taste
Cons: Food a bit salty

A huge Indian buffet. - Edit
If you want to try every Indian dish imaginable - that's the place. Ask the staff what is vegan and not spicy because sometimes you can't understand it just from looking at it.
Read morePros: literally tons of options, the price is super reasonable, Indian food is so delicious!
Cons: lots of plastic if you want to take food away, they don't know the diff betw vegan and vegetarian, be careful! spicy food!

My favourite place for vegetarian meal - Edit
I like to go to Gandhi for lunch & dinner. Lunch has a huge variety of mixed dishes (easily more than 30 dishes) everyday, consists of both vegetarian & non-vegetarian. They offer at least more than 10 vegetarian dishes every day. Or you can simply go with rice or chapatti, roti canai or tosai. I love their (teh tarik) chai very much too. While for dinner usually I go for ala-carte ordering with rice. U could also choose a simple vegetarian fried noodles. This is a very easy & friendly place for vegetarian

Cheap and tasty - Edit
I’ve now been here four times, I’ve had both from the buffe (breakfast and lunch) and also ordered food from the menu. The wait was never that long and they have a lot of options! I enjoyed the food a lot. The place is big, with indoor and outdoor seating, filled with thoughtful Gandhi quotes. Can highly recommend!

Evening - Edit
Huge and interesting restaurant. Lots of people eat here. It's great getting food from a no meat kitchen. The waiter understood no eggs, no milk, no gee/butter. He said dishes can be prepared without. Nan breads here have no milk. Was inexpensive for two of us considering how much we ordered. Tofu curry for 2, broccoli dish for 2, rice, two nan dishes with dips. Two melon juice all for £8.
Read morePros: Lots to vegan options on the menu., Inexpensive , Authentic taste

Veggie & Vegan Dream - Edit
It's called Gandhi's Vegetarian Restaurant - The name says it all. My partner and I both agreed that this was our favourite place in Kuala Lumpur!
Read moreThe prices we're ridiculously inexpensive, both of us would have huge plates full, with some to take home and we paid about 14 ringits for everything - That's about $5 Canadian dollars.
There were tons of options and choices, on any given day there we're at least 20 things for us to choose from. I do suggest going earlier in the day and eat there for an early lunch. It IS buffet style, so the closer it gets to closing, the less food they will bring out so not to waste anything. Totally understandable.
The staff was always friendly and quick to help and the setting was hectic, in a good way. There were also lots of people and hardly any seats left for good reason.
I appreciated that they took into account the ethnics behind vegetarianism as well, take the time to read the Ghandi posters they have on the wall while you eat! ;)
The bathroom facilities we're also quite good for Malaysia too - Good hand washing stations as well. They also have their own shop to the left of the restaurant where you can buy groceries - I bought a big bag of Chia Seeds for 16 ringit.
Anytime we stay in Kuala Lumpur we will come eat here.
Pros: Very Inexpensive, Healthy & Delicious Food, Local Atmosphere

Nice for dinner - Edit
Went here for dinner and had lovely food. It was absolutely cramped with people which made it a bit difficult for us to be noticed for our order but hey, a veggie place full of people is great! Lots of options to choose from with tasty mock meats. Next day we went out to have breakfast here but were a tiny bit disappointed as there was no menu and the buffet was small and missing a lot of food. Nevertheless had a decent meal!
Read morePros: Tasty , Lots of options, Great dinner menu
Cons: Buffet was scarce

Was alright. - Edit
About 7 minutes walk from Nu Sentral. Found it by chance.
Read moreRestaurant is simple and relatively clean.
Super packed at lunchtime.
Took small portions of about 3 dishes which tasted great but paid 7RM which was quite costly for the portion size.
It's also unclear where to order from and the cashier didn't seem to understand English very well. The vegan options weren't labelled either so do your research before ordering aimlessly!
Would go back but only before the afternoon when it's less hectic.
Pros: large buffet, delicious food
Cons: expensive for portion size, staff not conversant in English , vegan food not labelled

Great food - Edit
This large and seemingly chaotic place has an extensive menu of Indian and other cuisines. Our expectations were low due to the hectic appearance in the restaurant, but the service turned out to be fine. We had the tofu curry, lady's finger (okra) sambal and mushroom rendang. All were fine. Portions were a little light for two people. Our dinner was very enjoyable. Cash only, as are most restaurants here.

Nothing special - Edit
I was disappointed because I thought it was an Indian restaurant (you know because of the name) but they serve Chinese and Malay food. There is a lunch menu and a dinner menu (for 2 during the evening). The price was cheap for 2 (14 ringgits for a claypot tofu and rice) but we were still hungry after. The dish was tasteless. I think there are better restaurants in town.

Bad Service! - Edit
I ordered 2 pieces of Roti Canai and got one served instead and that was 15 minutes waiting time. At that time, there wasn't much customers around. It seems like Gandhi's are not keen for business! Not worth the waiting time and service attitude. I would not eat here again.

The best in KL by far - Edit
The best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in KL hands down. After sampling other restaurants too, we ended up eating here every dinner throughout our trip and still didn't exhaust all the available vegan options by the end of it. Each one is just as good as the last!
Read morePros: Super cheap, Huge selection, English menu
Cons: Ceiling fan only (sit under it and it's okay)

review and suggestion - Edit
Hello! i was in your restaurant some time ago. i really liked it. i think you should put cuisine type: Vedic-Ayurvedic. because apart from being vegetarian you also don’t cook with garlic, onion. Did you know that there are no places with vedic kitchen anywhere except temples ( and not in all of them)? i personally couldn’t find any restaurant with vedic-ayurvedic cuisine. i think you should Suggest Happy Cow to add one more type of cuisine - Vedic-Ayurvedic. you can refer to me. Good luck and all the best!
