Why it matters
Why Nature's Vegetarian Restaurant, Bangsar is worth your time
Bangsar is the part of Kuala Lumpur most visitors know for Western cafes, so a Chinese vegetarian dim sum house is a useful counterweight. Dim sum is normally built on pork, prawn and chicken; here the classic shapes appear in plant-based form, which lets a vegetarian family join a dim sum lunch rather than watch from the side.
For Indian travellers it is also a change of rhythm. Spinach counts five to ten marked vegan dishes, but because some dishes use egg, treat it as vegetarian with vegan options. It is not a Jain kitchen. Combine it with a visit to the Bangsar branch of Saravanaa Bhavan if the group wants South Indian food on another day.

How to experience it
Nature's Vegetarian Restaurant is at 24 Jalan Telawi 3 in Bangsar, the leafy suburb south-west of the centre. Spinach gives hours of 09:30 to 21:00 on weekdays and 08:30 to 21:00 at weekends, and says vegetarian dim sum is served until 6pm. Confirm these before you leave, as restaurants change their hours.
The menu is Chinese vegetarian. Dishes the listing names include har gao, dumplings, bao, chee cheong fun, a crispy seaweed roll, fried rice, brown rice and dumpling soup, and a 'Hong Kong style meat' dish made without meat. Spinach suggests a three-dish platter of vegetarian 'meats' served with leafy greens, which works as a shared main for two or three people.
Vegans should read the menu carefully: Spinach reports that some dishes contain egg and the menu marks them. Staff are described as knowledgeable but not always sure about ingredients, so confirm anything doubtful. The restaurant has a website, naturevegetarianrestaurant.com, which is worth checking for the current menu.
