Great fully vegan dim sum - Edit
I was really excited to try vegan dim sum for the first time while in KL, and this place didn't disappoint. Great food that was all 100% vegan (but not without garlic/onion) and the service was super friendly. Definitely worth a short trip out from the city centre.

Wow Amazing food 👌 - Edit
First time in Savor and we were greeted by the most polite and friendly staff. Our server’s knowledge of the menu was excellent and we went with his recommendations. We had (for 2 people) The Sarawak Laksa, Nasi Kerabu, Longan Phaneang Curry and the Kung Pao Panda Tofu. The flavours and aromatic sensations made me want more even though we were bursting at the seams. Check out my pics, the food looks beautiful and tastes even better. Now sits happily as one of the best vegan restaurants, I have been to 👌

Delicious food, friendly service - Edit
We tried Savor twice and enjoyed it both times. They seem to be working hard to please.
Read moreWe tried several Malay dishes, the lasagne, and a few desserts, and everything we had was tasty and wholesome, though we would’ve preferred brown rice instead of white (hopefully they’ll offer brown in the future).
Service was friendly and helpful.

Self service restaurant - Edit
Did not enjoy our visit. Was self service, needed to get our own cutlery with each dish. No spoon to serve dishes, happened with every dish we ordered. Ordering was painful with the waiter trying to help but not doing a great job. Food was bland and boring, not worth a visit but very expensive. We also were attacked sitting indoors by mosquitos. Food potions were unexpectedly small. Watermelon desert was insultingly bad, frozen crushed watermelon with two pieces of mint leaf on top.

Cons: Small food servings, Bland food, Expensive

Delicious, but not cheap - Edit
Huge menu with starters, mains and desserts ranging from Asian to Western food! Delicious, but prices are on the higher end. I’d say it’s worth it due to the foods taste!

Delicious meals, large menu - Edit
We used to get their food delivery service quite a number of times, so we were excited to see that Savor has a restaurant now which we can dine in :)
Read moreThe menu has such a wide offering from local food to Western offerings. This would be a great place to bring my friends and family as there would be something for everyone.
Food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Shepherd's pie and the Laab Nam Tok.
Place was tastefully decorated. Nice ambience.
Staff were courteous, attentive and helpful.
Street parking in that area can be a bit difficult on weekdays so the best place is to park at the Souled Out parking. Or there's also an basement parking for RM2.50 an hour at the time of writing at the building nearby.
I was concerned when I saw the word honey on the menu in their smoothies but they assured me it was vegan. Later they informed me they used Radiant Agave and a product called "classic vegan honey" by Rightside.
On my second visit, I asked if they could make my Nasi Kerabu oil-free. They said they could bake or blanch but it might change the taste. I was really happy they made it with no oil - yay!!
Pros: Large menu - something for everyone, Courteous and attentive staff, Open to making dishes oil-free

The server showed me the "wildflower honey" as it is written on the menu, this after I asked him to check with the kitchen. He told me that it doesn't come from bees which I verified was false by looking up the product bottle he showed me. Then the owner responds to my review to say they put the vegan honey in the bee honey bottles for easy access. Absurd. Would have been better to just apologize and change the product. But lying to customers is just self-sabotage. What else are they lying about? Rightside's honey, by the way, comes in an easy to pour and dispense container with a built in spout. Couldn't be easier access. Also it's not called "wild flower" honey nor does it come from flower nectar as it is primarily sucralose (from potatoes). I know because I bought some. Notice that they use "plant-based" and not "vegan" in all their marketing. It's a dead (bees) giveaway that ethics and animal rights are not part of their agenda. Super sad. Hope they fix this and certainly hope they stop lying to vegan customers.

NOT VEGAN. NOT PLANT BASED. PAYS TO ENSLAVE ANIMALS - Edit
Such a sad first review, hopefully a learning experience for everyone at this "insect and plant based" restaurant. I didn't learn much of anything, because I already knew you can't trust anti-vegans selling food to vegans, but I did learn that it doesn't really matter where you are in the world, the evil human head of animal exploitation will rear itself to mock and deceive vegans-- for profit.
Read moreI looked over the popular items online and saw a salted-egg dish. So I wrote and a representative replied that this was chickpea flour and they are "100% Plant Based." On arrival, my server asked me if I was vegan and said they get a lot of vegans there, I said that seems reasonable.
Then I looked over their expansive/expensive menu and something caught my eye. "Wild Flower Honey" on one of the smoothie bowls. To confirm with the server, I asked if it was from bees or perhaps human processed nectar. He said not bees but he would check. He came back in a few moments and said the honey came directly from plants and not bees. He showed me an image of the product on his tablet. He pointed to a green logo that indicated halal and said that meant vegan which was absurdly condescending while stupid.
For posterity, I looked up the product myself. Yup. Directly from flowers, collected by bees, into their pollen sacks, vomited up and processed in liquid by fanning it with their wings and then stolen by humans with millions of animal casualties in the process. The most direct route possible.
I told the server that I would bee-leaving to go somewhere else and I did. Can't trust "plant-based" capitalists. What burns me up the most, was the guy knew I was vegan, was happy to lie to me, and even happier to sell me and watch me consume something that violates my beliefs. Typical animal abuser.
Hope they live and learn, that just because the bees can't stand up to the abuse, deception and exploitation, doesn't mean that their human comrades won't.

Honey is neither ethical nor vegan by definition and certainly isn't both. Feel free to post photos of your updated plant-based honey products (as the one I was shown by your server is not vegan) and I may chose to update my review, but am unlikely to return or share my information as being lied to is sadly both too common and an irreparable offense. I spend money for meals prepared by others only to support vegan businesses. Vegans do not lie to sell food for profit, it's the antithesis of our mission. Good luck.

Your server showed me the bottle. Now you're trying to convince me that you pour vegan honey into non-vegan honey containers for easier access? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

You may message me in the app to arrange a private consultation on business ethics and honesty, but I will require payment up front as you have already given me reasons to be mistrustful. 🤣
