About Restoran Sunan Drajat

Restoran Sunan Drajat is a Surabaya-style Indonesian restaurant in the Chow Kit district of Kuala Lumpur, reached through a side entrance on Lorong Haji Hussein 1 tucked between two food stalls, Nasi Lemak Atan Heritage and Johan Bundle. According to a 2026 feature in Malay Mail, the restaurant's listed Google address and map pin have historically been inaccurate; this record uses the address corrected against the business's own registration, 71 Jalan Haji Hussein, rather than an older Taman Danau Kota address that appears in some older directory listings and may reflect a previous location.

The restaurant traces its history to the 1980s, when it began as a stall operating behind a mosque, before moving to its current Chow Kit premises in the 1990s. Its menu draws specifically on the cuisine of Surabaya, East Java, rather than the more common Padang-style nasi padang found elsewhere in Kuala Lumpur's Indonesian restaurant scene.

Signature dishes include sate kambing, tender goat satay served with ground peanuts, kicap manis (sweet soy sauce), shallots, and lime, sold by the skewer with a minimum order of five; gule kambing, a spicy goat broth praised by reviewers as a strong takeaway option; pecel lele, fried catfish served with a crisp fin; pecel ayam, fried chicken with a golden crust; and rawon, a dark beef stew built on keluak paste, a black nut-based seasoning the Malay Mail review calls a rarity among Klang Valley restaurants. The restaurant's sambal is noted as comparatively mild, made from tomatoes rather than fresh chillies, and raw vegetables are served alongside most dishes. The dining room has a green color theme.

The restaurant is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. No halal certifying body is named in available sourcing, though the restaurant operates in a heavily Muslim-patronized food district and serves no alcohol per available descriptions, so no certification claim is made here. No phone number could be independently confirmed, and the exact postal code was left blank since sources did not agree on one; visitors are advised to look for the side entrance on Lorong Haji Hussein 1 rather than relying on a street-level storefront.
