No matter how late you spent finishing up your report or how early you rise for a big exam, there’s always somewhere to go and something to eat in Kuala Lumpur. Known as one of Malaysia’s food cities, 24-hour food eateries are man-made gastronomic treasures and you can spot them in the bustling street corners of Kuala Lumpur. Some days you will crave croissants and cakes. Some nights you will yearn for banana leaf rice and nasi kandar. Regardless of the hours, days or weeks, solve all your dining woes at these 24-hour halal eateries in Kuala Lumpur.

10 restaurants in Kuala Lumpur for your late-night cravings and lepak sessions

1. Nathan’s Corner

Whether it’s for a lunch break or late-night supper, there’s never a shortage of reasons to visit Nathan’s Corner. A local eatery that embraces South Indian flavours in every meal, we recommend banana leaf rice with lots of curries to dive deep into their roots. Just before midnight, it’s natural to see most tables with a plate of cheese naan and tandoori chicken. It’s a local favourite, we must say. They’re generous with their cheese shavings on their delightful naan, so enjoy them with a side of teh tarik or limau ais.

First established in Penang, Nasi Kandar Pelita gained a huge following of foodies over the years.

With scoops of steamed rice smacked in the middle, mix and match your favourite dishes such as chicken curry, honey-roasted chicken, fried cuttlefish and fried chicken to create a wholesome meal. Save their roti canai and naan selections for days when you desire a lighter meal.
