Tasty Chapathi @ Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur

Price: Mid-range 

Cuisine : Indian (with a good range of vegetarian options!) 

Catphobia-Friendly?: Yes

Pork-Free 

You know one of those restaurants where everything that arrives on your dinner table are perfect tens, no misses? Tasty Chapati is one of those rare gems for us, and is possibly our favourite place for soulful Indian dishes right now (we have had our iftar 3 times here within the span of 1.5 weeks, if that says anything). 

Chutney Mary @ Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar

Price Range : Mid-range   

Cuisine : North Indian 

Recommended For : Family dinners (or with friends; meals here are best shared) 

Catphobia-Friendly? : Oh yes! 

One of the best feelings in the world is finally stepping into a restaurant that you've passed by for years! What makes it even better? When the restaurant exceeds all expectations and delivers a memorable meal =) 

We absolutely loved our dinner at Chutney Mary, which we have the good folks of StarHero to thank for! The dinner was kicked off with the quintessential North Indian starter, Paneer Tikka. Basically firm cottage cheese slices are coated in a light batter and baked in the tandoor. The hint of black cumin seeds provides a delicious dimension to this starter staple. 

‘Cahaya Ramadan’ Buffet @ Riverside Restaurant, PWTC

It’s that time of the year again. With Ramadhan just about to knock on our doors, along comes one of the favourite Malaysian things of the fasting month: Ramadhan buffets.

We are grateful that Ramadhan has been a rather blessed one for us so far, and we hope that it is too for all our Muslim readers. As the fasting month approaches the end of its first week, we’re now going on our iftar patrol to check out great places to buka puasa at.

Restoran Victory Arab Street @ USJ 9

Price Range	Mid-Range
Type of Cuisine	Singaporean
Recommended For	Satisfying murtabak and briyani cravings
Catphobia-Friendly	Not too many cats around

This restaurant is actually a branch of the famous Victory Restaurant in Arab Street, Singapore. Famed for their murtabak, we decided to give their Murtabak Kambing (RM10) a go.

When it first arrived, it looked a little small (we ordered the medium size) but it was so filling that we actually struggled to finish it in the end. There’s quite a selection of murtabak you can choose from, according to your desired flavour and size (kambing, ayam, daging, sardine; extra small, small, medium, large, extra large, special extra large).
