Sam’s Kitchen and Sam’s on First
Piping hot rice is gently scooped onto freshly cut banana leaves, with savoury rasam, spicy chicken curry and crispy papadom.
Eating as the locals do, with their hands, is a messy but delicious experience. The banana leaf rice is eaten with several choices of condiments such as vegetables, pickles, moru, chutney, rice crackers, sweets and chips for a delightful meal.
Top it all off with aromatic masala tea or local teh tarik for a hearty fare at Sam’s Kitchen.
This quaint restaurant, tucked in a corner of Taman Maluri in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur serves traditional Southern Indian cuisine. Dishes here are specially prepared with the flavours of Karaikudi, by professional chefs with over 50 years of combined food service experience.

Someone actually asked a question about Sam’s Kitchen on askalo, the Malaysia-focused Q&A website. Basir asked “What should I eat at Sam’s Kitchen in Cheras? What makes this restaurant special?” http://kualalumpur.askalo.my/ID_100668849/What-should-I-eat-at-Sams-Kitchen-in-Cheras-What-makes-this-restaurant-special.html

The restaurant has a very nice interior. I wonder would it be a break of your wallet for such a fine dining or the price is reasonable? thx for the article =)

Terrible experience! Far from our expectation. Noticed that they reduce the portion and increased the price.
You can find better one elsewhere in KL, with a reasonable price.
Cleanliness= acceptable. But, taste sucks and absolutely not using fresh ingredient!
