Satay Capitol 1951 is located on Jalan Raja Uda in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. It’s easy to reach by ride‑hailing services like Grab or taxi, or by car and motorcycle. The nearest LRT station is Kampung Baru, which is a short walk away. Street parking in the area can fill up quickly during peak hours, so ride‑hail is often the most convenient option.
The specialty here is classic Malaysian satay, with skewers of chicken and beef grilled over charcoal and served with traditional peanut gravy, nasi impit (rice cubes), cucumber and onion. Many sets also include options to add roti bakar, roti kukus, or a bowl of soto as part of the meal.
Locals often order the set menus with multiple sticks of satay — commonly 10, 20 or more — paired with generous servings of peanut sauce and nasi impit. Chicken and beef satay are both popular, and many regulars also enjoy pairing their satay with roti or soto for a fuller meal experience.
Satay Capitol 1951 typically opens in the afternoon around 3 PM and stays busy until around 11 30 PM, Monday through Saturday, with Sundays usually closed. Visiting around early evening before peak dinner time can help you beat the queue and enjoy freshly grilled skewers.
Nearby you’ll find a cluster of Kampung Baru favourites, including nasi lemak stalls, local kopitiams and other traditional Malay eateries. Jalan Raja Uda and Jalan Raja Muda Musa food corridors are both within walking distance, making it easy to explore multiple iconic food spots in one outing.
