Why it matters
Why Savor (Desa Sri Hartamas) is worth your time
Savor shows that Kuala Lumpur's plant-based dining goes beyond Chinese-Buddhist kitchens to Malaysian comfort food made without animal products. Dishes like nasi lemak and laksa are normally full of shrimp paste, fish or egg, so a plant-based kitchen offers a way to taste them.
It is a practical choice for vegan families, and for vegetarian ones who are curious about local flavours but wary of hidden animal ingredients. Because it sits in a residential district outside the tourist core, it also shows a different side of the city, where local families eat on ordinary weekdays.

How to experience it
Savor's website says that everything on its menu happens to be plant-based, and a directory lists the whole menu as vegan. The dishes are Malaysian and Western: nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, Sarawak laksa, creamy curry mee, bakso noodle soup with plant-based meatballs, lasagna, shepherd's pie and stone-fired pizzas with a house nut cheese.
It is not a short walk from the main sights, so plan it as a destination meal if you are staying in Hartamas or Mont Kiara, or use a taxi. Weekday lunch is usually calmer. Because the menu is plant-based, it is a safer option than hawker stalls for vegetarian and vegan visitors.
If you avoid onion or garlic, ask the staff, since the sources do not describe preparation. Check the current opening days before you go; the restaurant is closed on Saturdays.
