The Hungry Tapir

It is not gluten-free!!! It is not suitable for celiacs!!! I went after reading a review from a celiac who apparently is not celiac 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️because it is not suitable... yes for vegetarians but not for celiacs, it says gluten free on the menu but there is cross contamination, I went to eat and of all the menu and dishes that said gluten free I could only order salads and some rice noodles that only had vegetables, I ordered the rice noodles and they stayed on the table whole, they only tasted of ginger and coriander 🤦🏽‍♂️ the rest of the dishes had cross contamination, the service was very good, but it is not a restaurant for celiacs, it is a restaurant for vegetarians, I could not order the option with gluten free meat due to contamination. There is no gluten-free beer either.

The Hungry Tapir in KL exceeded all expectations! As someone who enjoys meat, I was initially unsure about a fully plant-based restaurant. However, their Nasi Lemak and Miso Ramen were absolutely divine. The Nasi Lemak was a flavour explosion, with fragrant rice and a rich, complex sambal. Honestly, I didn't miss the meat at all! The Miso Ramen was equally impressive, a comforting and umami-rich broth with perfectly cooked noodles. What really made the experience special was the amazing service. We needed gluten-free options, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They patiently guided us through the menu, explaining ingredients and suggesting modifications. Their attentiveness made us feel so welcome. The Hungry Tapir proves that plant-based food can be exciting and delicious. It's not just about substitutes; it's about creating incredible dishes that stand on their own. Highly recommend checking it out, even if you're not vegetarian or vegan. You won't be disappointed! The vibrant atmosphere and delicious food make it a must-try in KL.

I really struggled to find gluten free food in KL so this was an amazing find! Gluten free and authentic food, great service and lovely venue
