  Kumar’s Restaurant was the only Indian restaurant in our locality, so we decided to go for it. Firstly, it was beyond our expectation in terms of Taste as well as Ambiance. Starters were very impressive. MUST TRY : Fried Bhindi. Main cuisine was equally good to starters. We ordered a garlic naan, plain naan, chapatis, aloo gobi and tandoori chicken. Tandoori Chicken was exceptional. Aloo Gobi was spicy and tasty. If you are looking for a good Indian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Kumar’s restaurant is the right place to visit. Service and hospitality was excellent.Pros : Ambiance, Taste, ServiceCons: Panner Dishes could have been added.

  I was so excited to try Kumar’s Indian restaurant.  It looks like quite a nice place, very modern and contemporary but laid back, my experience though wasn’t that fantastic.I ordered the lamb seekh kebabs, potato samosas, butter chicken, garlic naan and plain rice.  While ordered I specifically told the waiter to bring me the seekh kebabs and samosa first, then the rest later, he looked at me like I was stating the bleeding obvious and perhaps I was but just wanted to be sure.  The compliementary papads came very soon after.First to arrive was the samosas, followed by the butter chicken and naan, then about 5 minutes later the plain rice and lastly the seekh kebabs, needless to say I was a bit annoyed but whatever I couldnt be bothered getting that guy back to explain.Here’s the thoughts on the food – Potato Samosa – 3 small samosas served in a bowl with a sprig of parsley, no sauce of any kind was brought with them, i thought this was very strange and immediately asked for something, nothing came of course so I tucked into one, pastry was a bit thick but this wasn’t really my problem with them, the real issue with these samosas is the filling, bland, forget a nice potato masala flavour of tumeric, mustard seeds and fenel, no, this didn’t even have salt in it.  Very disappointing.Seekh Kebabs – These were good, thick, juicy and plump, the flavour wasn’t mind blowing but it was quality mince and had a reasonable amount of flavour from some kind of masala mixed into the mince, these came with a mint sauce that was quite watery and the waiter pointed out to me that I could use this with the samosa, very helpful. (/sarcasm)Butter chicken – It looked reasonable and like it had potential but it was really thick, the taste of it though was unlike any other butter chicken I’d had before, this was just cream with orange colouring, I couldnt detect any tomato flavour, any tandoori flavour, and smokiness, nothing, all I got was cream and chicken, it was really a terrible dish, it’s a pity as the chicken in the dish had potential, it was cooked well, shredded nicely and looked good its just it was doused in this orange cream that made it horrible, the plain boiled rice (they have no nice pulao or jeera rice options) didn’t help the situation here.Garlic Naan – Was just ok, real garlic, was cut into 4 and bizarrely served with a stone cold dhal type dipping sauce.I basically just ate the seekh kebabs and finished off the bland samosas, leaving the rest of the meal.Then when it came time to pay their credit card machine wasn’t working so they gave my card back to me and said it has to be cash, of course I didn’t have any so I told them I’ll go to the atm and they can give me a free glass of wine (they serve the chilean house wine cold?) which they obliged, but I had to suggest it.Overall a pretty pathetic experience that cannot be recommended at all, I do hear their fish/seafood is the best, but my feeling with the above food was this place isn’t worth a second shot.
