A broad, fully vegetarian Indian menu near KL Sentral delivers especially strong dosa, idli, chaat and Jain-friendly choices, though service and surcharge complaints make peak-time visits worth approaching carefully.
Mr Naan & Mrs Idly delivers solid food quality across its South and North Indian menu, with particularly strong service knowledge guiding diners through diverse offerings. Inconsistent execution in the kitchen and some variation in attentiveness prevent a higher grade, though the Brickfields location and loyal following suggest reliable neighborhood appeal for vegetarian Indian dining.
In the Brickfields Little India area, Mr Naan & Mrs Idly is a spacious, clean-feeling vegetarian dining room where the welcome can be as memorable as the food. Diners repeatedly describe quick service, patient menu explanations and a cozy atmosphere; one summed it up as a place that felt like “homestyle comfort in the middle of KL,” while several staff members are praised for thoughtful recommendations. The kitchen covers a wide South and North Indian range, from crisp masala dosa, fluffy idli and chutneys to paneer curries, biryani, parathas and chaat. It is not strictly traditional: Pizza Dosa and Manchurian Idli add playful fusion, while the menu’s Jain, vegan and customizable options make it unusually accommodating. Food quality is generally strong, especially for dosa, idli, dal, palak paneer and chaat, though a minority of diners report bland gravies, uneven preparation or disappointing value. Families have plenty to work with: plain dosa, plain idli, chapati, paratha, rice and familiar paneer dishes are approachable choices, and reviews mention successful non-spicy adjustments. The room is spacious and several families report enjoyable meals, but adventurous items dominate part of the menu and service can become uneven at busy times, so picky eaters may be happiest with the simpler staples.
The safest orders range from crisp masala dosa and fluffy idli to Palak Paneer, with Pizza Dosa for a more adventurous pick.
It is usually a comfortable, prompt meal, but peak-time waits and added SST or service charges can change the experience and final bill.
Vegetarians and vegans have broad choice, while gluten-free diners have at least Makki Ki Roti but should verify preparation details.
