Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Cafe

We recently dined at the Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Cafe in Bassendean, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our visit was memorable. We ordered a variety of dishes, including Maggie Goreng, Mamak Mee Goreng, Roti Banjir, Nasi Lemak with Goat Curry, Char Kueh Teow, and Roti Kaya, along with drinks like hot Teh Tarik and Sirap Ice. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with authentic Malaysian flavors that transported us straight to the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur. The Maggie Goreng and Mamak Mee Goreng were perfectly spiced and incredibly satisfying. The Roti Banjir was a comforting blend of textures and flavors, while the Nasi Lemak with Goat Curry was rich and beautifully presented. The Char Kueh Teow had that unmistakable smoky "wok hei" flavor, and the Roti Kaya was a delightful way to end the meal on a sweet note. The Teh Tarik was expertly brewed—smooth, frothy, and just the right amount of sweetness—and the Sirap Ice was refreshingly vibrant. We highly recommend Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Cafe for anyone craving authentic Malaysian cuisine. The food, service, and overall experience were fantastic. We’ll definitely be returning to try more of their amazing menu!

Authentic Malaysian cuisine! The Mee Goreng, Nasi Lemak, and Rotis are delightful. Just a heads up—the service can be a bit slow, so be prepared to wait.

Have been coming here every other week or so and have tried a variety of things. Their thosai, roti canai, fish curry, dhall, lamb varuval (my Aussie husband's absolute fav), banana leaf (when it was on, extremely generous and value for money), nasi lemak, kuey teow and mee goreng have been delicious and can't wait to hopefully explore more of the menu. I really do enjoy the new set up this place has compared to the previous restaurant that was here. The staff are friendly and easygoing. It's simply comfort food that's easily accessible for me. Also, byo with no corkage fee and handy, free street parking.

As a fellow malaysian, i think the food was really great and authentic and was the salvation from a harsh and destructive review. Not a fan of the new shop and certainly overshadowed by its former glory in leederville. The bassendean shop clearly paints a picture of acopia with lack of manpower and inexperienced waiting staff. I waited 45 minutes before being served my first dish. Total time I spent in the shop is close to 1.5 hours from start to finish when the intention is to grab a quick dinner and return to the comforts of home. What I observed was despite the growing pressure , short staffing and sheer unhappiness and long waiting times for the patrons dining in, they still cater for delivery services and clearly prioritising them (in my opinion to maintain a good rating with delivery services), they have sacrificed the service they provide for those dining in, resulting in longer than usual waiting time. Unless this changes, I do not foresee longevity of this place

11 out of 10 The Team catered for my Party of 20 people and it was better than expected. Got the classic Kwuey Teow, Meeting Goreng, Biryani + Beef Rendang & Satay, it truly made the Party a celebration of its own. You don't need a plane ticket, authentic Malaysian Food that is "bagus" 😇 Can't recommend anyone better than KLCC 💯💯💯 Now, stop reading and go get some!!!
