Malaysia boasts a plethora of culinary delights, with Indian cuisine holding a significant place among its diverse offerings. This culinary influence can be traced back to the colonial history shared between Malaysia and India under British rule. During this period, the British government facilitated the migration of a substantial number of Indian labourers to Malaysia to support its development efforts. Over time, these Indian immigrants established roots in Malaysia, eventually evolving into one of the country's prominent ethnic communities alongside the Malays and Chinese.
India's expansive landscape and abundant resources give rise to a diverse culinary tapestry, with each region boasting its own unique food culture from north to south. With the migration of populations, this rich culinary heritage found its way to Malaysia, enriching the local gastronomic scene with a variety of flavours and dishes. Indian cuisine permeates every corner of Malaysia, offering a spectrum of options ranging from traditional to contemporary interpretations, and from northern to southern styles, each with its own distinct appeal. Below are Indian restaurants recommended by our MICHELIN Guide inspectors, renowned for their tasty dishes that promise a culinary journey worth experiencing.
