Why it matters
Why Mr Naan & Mrs Idly is worth your time
Mr Naan & Mrs Idly is an example of the casual vegetarian restaurants that fill Brickfields. It makes a convenient lunch before or after a train from KL Sentral, and it gives families a familiar menu of chaat, dosa and idli in a short stop.
As with many casual restaurants, the diet details need confirming at the table. The restaurant calls itself vegetarian, but egg use, Jain preparation and vegan options are not clearly documented in the sources we opened, so we have only tagged what the evidence supports.

How to experience it
The restaurant is on Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Brickfields, within reach of KL Sentral. The group that runs it describes its restaurants as Indian and fusion vegetarian, and the menu includes South Indian items like uttapam and idli alongside North Indian chole bhature, pani puri and masala pizza.
Many visitors come for the buffet, which a directory lists at about RM18 on the day it was checked; prices change, so check on arrival. The directory also warns that some buffet curries may contain cheese or ghee, so vegan guests should ask which dishes are dairy-free.
The restaurant's own page does not say whether eggs are used, and it lists garlic naan on the menu, so people avoiding garlic should ask. A reviewer says Jain food is available, but we found no official statement, so phone first if you need it. After the meal, walk through Brickfields to see the temples and shops, then return to KL Sentral for onward trains.
