Nice spot at EkoCheras with a comfortable and cosy atmosphere. The place is clean, staff are friendly, and service is quite efficient even during peak hours. Food quality is good with decent portions, and prices are reasonable for the location. A good place for casual meals, coffee, or catching up with friends and family. Will come back again

My favorite vegetarian spot in Cheras. The dishes taste incredibly authentic, even though they’re fully vegetarian. The Nyonya curry laksa is a must try.

Come here for dinner on weekday, it’s considered quite crowded compared to other restaurants. Banner looks promising cause they declare themselves the best vegetarian restaurant. Order curry vegetable one of the recommended food and request for brown rice. The vegetables are cooked just on point, soft but crispy, the curry soup is nice too. Not too spicy for me. Also order the satay, price is slightly high but overall is nice, strong with spice and lemongrass taste. There’s pineapple and yam bean cut in cube as well. Peanut sauce is crunchy and it’s is quite pure even it’s less flavouring, it’s tasty. Ordered the drink, sour in original taste, they serve sugar separately so you can adjust the sugar level in your own :) Updates: come here second time for lei cha rice. Good taste, healthy choice for dinner. Lei cha soup is taste good, light and refreshing Cendol is nice too, a bit too sweet, next time can request for less sweet

I absolutely love this Malaysian cuisine restaurant! It not only offers a wide range of authentic dishes but also captures the rich charm of Southeast Asia. From the classic Nasi Lemak to every other mouthwatering option, everything was simply irresistible. I’ll definitely bring my friends along for another visit! This is a very healthy and delicious vegetarian restaurant. We tried their fried noodles, curry laksa, and asam laksa — all packed with flavor! The staff were also very friendly. Definitely looking forward to coming back again. The food here is amazing, with plenty of choices for vegetarians. Portions are generous, and they don’t compromise on quality. Will definitely be returning!
