Why it matters
Why Passage Thru' India, Jalan Delima is worth your time
After several days of Chinese and Malay food, many Indian visitors want a plate of dal and roti, and Passage Thru' India is one place Wikivoyage names for that in the Bukit Bintang district, where Indian options are less common than in Brickfields.
The tradeoff is that the page highlights chicken biryani and tandoori, so it is a meat-friendly restaurant. Families with a mix of diets can still find vegetable dishes, but strict vegetarians and Jain travellers should consider the vegetarian restaurants elsewhere in this guide. The information comes from a single travel-guide page, so treat the details as a starting point.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage's Golden Triangle guide lists Passage Thru' India at 4 Jalan Delima and describes it as serving northern and southern Indian food. It also says the chicken biryani and tandoori dishes are recommended, and that the restaurant has several branches, so check the address you book.
Since the listing is brief, build your order from what you know: North Indian dishes such as dal, vegetable curries and naan, and South Indian rice-based dishes. Ask staff which vegetable dishes are cooked without meat stock and whether the kitchen can leave out onion and garlic, since the page does not say. This is a mixed menu rather than a vegetarian restaurant.
The Golden Triangle is a short ride from KLCC and the Bukit Bintang malls, so the restaurant fits easily into a day of shopping or after a visit to the Petronas Twin Towers.
