Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Roti kosong garing with dhal, sambal and mutton curry
Ask any KL local where to get proper roti canai and Valentine comes up first. The crisp-edged, fluffy-centred roti and well-balanced sambal have kept this roadside institution packed for over two decades, especially on weekend nights.
Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Roti canai with chicken curry
A no-frills round-the-clock tea stall under the old Selangor Mansion that chefs themselves name as a favourite. Crisp, buttery roti at old-school prices, and the chicken curry at night is the move.
Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Roti canai tsunami drowned in dhal and sambal
Better known as Pak Ali's roti canai, this Pantai Dalam spot is regularly called the best roti in KL. Each piece is tossed to order and then flooded with dhal, sambal and egg, tsunami style. Short morning hours, so come early.
Kampung Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Crisp roti canai with dhal and kari campur
A no-frills roti stall in the Pantai Dalam belt that keeps appearing beside Pak Ali on KL roti lists. The roti is flaky with a good chew and the curry mix is properly robust.

Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Roti canai and roti tisu with a KLCC view
A round-the-clock mamak right beside the Twin Towers, popular with office crowds and night owls alike. Reliable roti, teh tarik and that skyline view.

Order: Old-school roti canai with dhal
A humble Setapak stall with a loyal following for straight-up traditional roti canai. Cited on several KL roti lists as a breakfast worth the detour.
