NADODI

What an unforgettable dining experience! This Indian Southern cuisine restaurant truly exceeded all expectations. Every dish was crafted with heart and packed with authentic, bold flavors — from the starters to the dessert, everything was absolutely delicious. You can really taste the passion and tradition in each bite. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely polite, making us feel welcome throughout the evening. The ambience was elegant and relaxing, perfect for a lovely dinner. And to top it all off, the view of the city skyline was simply breathtaking — a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. I will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Indian cuisine or is looking to discover its rich southern flavors in a stunning setting!

Indian cuisine has always been my favorite food all these years as banana leaf rice was my goto meal when I arrived home from Singapore every month. When a friend invited me to try Nadodi’s tiffin lunch, I said yes without a blink. I read about Nododi rave reviews and was looking forward for the lunch. It was a fine Saturday afternoon and we arrived at the restaurant without any traffic jam. The restaurant welcomed us with its grand and modern setting. We were seated at the window overlooking the KL skyline. After studying the menu, we decided to go for a set of vegetarian tiffin menu and another set of non vegetarian tiffin menu. We were first being served 3 types of crackers with few different sauces. I particularly liked the mint sauce. It was very yummy. Then the other dishes were served in a pretty shinny gold looking tiffin. For the non vegetarian set, it came with asparagus & jack fruit seed Sothi, spiced tiger prawn salad, pepper chicken, madras fish curry. For the non vegetarian set, it offered romanesco & moringa leaf in a tumeric sauce, chettinad potatoes, chickpeas and morel mushrooms curry. Both set were served with Rassam soup and spiced basmati rice. The prawn salad was refreshing in a simple Vinaigrette sauce. The fish curry was thick and creamy with the Sabah tiger grouper. However the peppered chicken is was a let down, the meat was dried and there was little sauce that accompanied with. The asparagus and the jack fruit seed was not impressive either. For the moringa leaf and romanesco dish, it was simple and not memorable. The potatoes dish didn’t make much impression either. The chickpeas and the morel mushrooms managed to save some grace for the vegetarian set. We were given complimentary sobert. Though sweet was very delicious. During our lunch, there were 2 waiters kept coming back to ask us if our food was fine. It was quite annoying given we were not given space to enjoy our lunch and meet in peace. I expected a lot from Nadodi but somehow this meal failed to deliver the southern Indian food I love. They took pride in their ingredients by importing many fresh produces from overseas but some times local produces may be better. The restaurant has a very nice ambience given its location and decor. They also has a bar which serves a variety of hard liquor and wines. I would suggest Nadodi focus on bringing up the best of Indian food first. Good, clean and tasty never fail to bring customers back!

Thoroughly enjoyed every dish and highly recommend the non-alcoholic pairing. I particularly enjoy more savory pairings and find they complement food better. Also the tables by the windows are partitioned so it feels more intimate and private.

Had the tiffin lunch, tried the vegetarian and the non vegetarian sets. Ordered the crab curry as an extra - the crab curry was an absolutely sublime, stunning and well-executed dish. The dessert too - probably ranked high up in the list of best desserts I’ve had in my life. Balance, finesse, texture - it was excellent. The prawn salad - was good. The vegetarian selections - were..acceptable. The chicken - an utter disappointment. Chewy, lacked flavour, lacked depth. It was an absolute no for me. My overall rating would have been 3 stars but because the crab curry and the dessert had such a high degree of craftsmanship, I decided I’ll accept that failure of a dish. A shame. I still think about how flat the chicken tasted. The fish curry was ok, fish texture and freshness was good. The lunch menu is heavy on coconut milk so I passed out on a 2 hour nap after lunch. Please allow for a level of satiety and a snooze after. I thank Nadodi for crab curry, those chunks of crab meat so perfectly and delicately cooked - retaining its flesh and not flaking - in an ultrafine curried puree base - almost like an emulsion - was divine.

Came here on two separate occasions and I must say the food has been fantastic both times. I came here for work dinner the first time and the beef course was so wonderful, melt in your mouth with a burst of curry flavour. The second time was with my partner where I tried their Christmas / new year menu. Food was so flavourful. I like that they use a lot of Indian spices for some of their dishes and mixed it with a more fine dining style of serving. It truly gave me a multi sensorial experience. We also had drinks at their bar, loved how they presented the menu. This place is definitely worth a stop to try Indian inspired fine dining. Truly a wonderful place.

Had the lunch set (not the tiffin one). What a journey. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated. The I.D stunning and the little small private seating by the window Had an elegant ambience. Service was impeccable. Azlan was attentive and professional. The lunch set was a beautiful paced and thoughtfully crafted culinary adventure. Each dish had depth, finesse and bold character. When I had their dinner set, I knew I should try the lunch set as well. Nadodi doesn't just serve food, they tell a story. Cant wait to try their new menu launching on June

Went lunch tasting; 5 courses of excellent food. Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back if I am in town.

I had an incredible dinner at Nadodi KL with their 9-course tasting menu paired with non-alcoholic beverages—and it exceeded all expectations. The food beautifully fused authentic Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lankan flavours with modern fine dining presentation. The non-alcoholic pairings were thoughtful and creative, especially the beetroot-based drink, which stood out as one of the best I’ve ever had. Each course was not only delicious but also told a story, making the whole experience feel immersive and meaningful. Service was flawless, the ambiance was elegant, and every detail felt intentional. Nadodi is truly a world-class dining experience, perfect for special occasions or anyone passionate about elevated South Asian cuisine. Highly recommended for those seeking a refined yet rooted dining adventure in Kuala Lumpur.
