You will likely have to make do with a seat in one of the plastic chairs along the corridor at Sir Nirwana Maju’s lively Bangsar outlet. The go-to place for banana leaf rice, it is often standing room only at this mamak-style restaurant on a suburban strip in the heart of Bangsar Baru. Fans overlook Nirwana’s cramped conditions for a bite of their banana leaf rice drenched with fiery curries and vegetable sides. Spice fans ramp up their meals with pieces of fried chicken or ikan tenggiri (mackerel fish).
