About
Tamarind Springs, Kuala Lumpur sits within the natural buffer of Taman Tunku, tucked into the rainforest fringe just outside the city center, about a 10-minute drive from KLCC. It is located along Jalan 1, Taman Tun Abdul Razak, accessible by car or e-hailing only, as there is no direct LRT or MRT station within walking distance. The final approach is a narrow uphill road ending in a private car park. Designed to blend into its forested surroundings, the restaurant occupies a series of open-air pavilions and stone pathways under tree cover, with tiered seating areas built into a sloped jungle terrain. Tables are spaced generously apart, some beside koi ponds, others under wooden roofs lit by oil lamps. The crowd includes business diners, couples, and families celebrating milestones. Service is structured but unobtrusive, led by staff trained in multi-course service protocols.
The kitchen focuses on Indochinese cuisine—primarily Laotian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese, presented with an upscale format. Guests order from printed menus with optional tasting sets, and dishes are served family-style. The chargrilled beef la lot, prawn-stuffed sugarcane, and steamed seabass in lime sauce appear frequently in reviews. There are no live food stations. Signature dishes arrive in stages, often coordinated with drinks, and adjusted based on table size. Feedback often mentions consistency in flavor, though some note slower pacing on weekends due to high volume. While the setting is memorable, diners generally emphasize food quality and privacy over ambiance.
