We went to Big Singh Chapati’s TTDI (Punjabi Restaurant Kuala Lumpur) outlet for dinner and left with bellies full, smiles wide, and the firm belief that someone in that kitchen is whispering tender Punjabi secrets into every chapati. They’ve got three outlets across the Klang Valley — Subang Jaya (SS15), TTDI (where we dined) and Bandar Puteri, Puchong — so you’ve got options.
We ordered a full table to share — because sharing means sampling more: ( Best Punjabi Restaurant Kuala Lumpur)

The food (short, delicious notes) – Punjabi Restaurant Kuala Lumpur
Starters — Paneer Pakora & Veggies Pakora
Crisp on the outside, soft & cheesy (paneer) on the inside. The batter has a gentle spice lift and pairs perfectly with the cooling raita. Great to break the ice (and the diet). — Perfect starter if you want something sharable while waiting for mains.
Rice — Biryani vs Plain Rice
Their biryani arrives aromatic and flecked with saffron-like color and spices. It’s fragrant enough to tempt a second helping; the plain rice was fluffy and ideal for soaking up saucy curries. If you’re indecisive: get both and share.
Chicken Tikka Masala (extra spicy)
We asked for extra spicy — and got delicious kick-after-kick. The chicken was juicy, the sauce rich, and the heat didn’t overwhelm the creaminess. If you love depth + heat, this will make your night.
Paneer Butter Tikka Masala
Creamy, buttery, and comforting — the kind of dish that says “stay a little longer.” Paneer is soft and the sauce is balanced so it doesn’t drown the cheese.
Raita
A simple, cool cucumber-yogurt hit that rescues you from any too-hot decisions.
Drinks — Mango Lassi & Vanilla Milkshake
The mango lassi was nicely tangy and fruity (not just mango-flavored sugar syrup), while the vanilla milkshake skewed thick and dessert-y — both excellent partners to spicy mains.
Hot Chai Masala (after-dinner)
Two cups later we were warm, content, and ready to plan our next visit. Proper finish.
Ambience, service & vibe
TTDI’s outlet is casual and bright — not fussy, but comfortable. Staff were attentive and menus are big (lots of choices), which is great if you’re in a group and want to try many plates. Expect a crowd on evenings — many reviews mention queues and a buzzy crowd, especially at peak times. Bangsar Babe+1
Practical notes: they’re open fairly late (many outlets list 11am–11pm or similar), they do lunch set deals, and they take reservations/walk-ins. Also — Halal certified (they publicly state Halal status on their channels). ( Punjabi restaurant Kuala Lumpur)
Owner Q&A — Behind Big Singh Chapati
Q: What inspired you to open this restaurant?
Honestly, it started with a simple idea — to make Punjabi food more accessible to everyone. We wanted a place where people could enjoy real Punjabi flavors in a casual, modern, and family-friendly setting. It also came from our love for food and culture, and our curiosity to dip our toes into the F&B world. What began as a passion project has turned into something much bigger and really close to our hearts.
Q: Is there a story behind the name “Big Singh Chapati”?
Oh yes — “Big Singh Chapati” just felt right from the start. It’s bold, fun, and full of personality, just like us! The name represents who we are — our roots, our passion, and our energy. We wanted something that instantly connects with people and makes them smile even before they walk in.
Q: What’s your signature dish or drink — and why should people try it?
No surprise here — our chapati is the star! Soft, fresh, and made the traditional way. But you’ve got to try our Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Palak Paneer, and the Big Singh Special — they’re the crowd favorites. And don’t forget to wash it all down with a glass of creamy lassi or a hot cup of Punjabi chai. It’s comfort in a cup!
Q: Do you use local ingredients or have unique sourcing practices?
We mix the best of both worlds. Our veggies come fresh from local suppliers, but when it comes to spices — those come straight from India. It’s the secret to that authentic Punjabi kick that makes our dishes stand out.
