Restaurant Review: Rani Vilas Restaurant Batu Caves


If you've visiting Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, I have two tips for you. Firstly, get there as early as possible in order to avoid the heat and other tourists.

Secondly, after climbing a mountain of stairs, marvelling at the wonders therein, and being stared at by hundreds of monkeys - you're going to be hungry. So treat yourself to lunch at Rani's.

A varied vegetarian menu - helpfully illustrated. Great big piles of food served on a banana leaf - you can't go wrong. Just spicy enough to be interesting without being overpowering. Large jugs of daal and condiments. A wide variety of delicious drinks - including fresh-cut coconut.

Fast and friendly service. Incredible value for money, and heartily refreshing while you wait for your legs to recover.

They accept credit cards, but there is a minimum card charge. Oh well, just order more food. No free WiFi - so chat to your friends.

    My tip is: the shops at the bottom of the steps sell you things in brightly-coloured plastic bags that the monkeys recognise as being likely to contain food and which will therefore try quite hard to steal off you.
