A couple weeks ago I found myself at the South of KL for some work related assignment near lunch time. Naturally, after our appointment, we went to the most famous nari briyani restaurant for some well deserved lunch.
Our destination was none other than Kafe Beriani Gam Putrajaya.
Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya
Getting there can be a bit tricky as the restaurant is located right beside SKVE, you can only get onto SKVE from the restaurant but not the other way around. However, Waze/Google Map is your friend, so do use the link below for your convenience.
It is a bit of a road side set up with upgraded roof and rather proper table and chairs, there’s also some ceiling fans, though one should still prepare to sweat it out a bit on a hot afternoon.
lamb or chicken, which would be your choice?
Ordering is simple, get your nasi beriyani, then pick the type of meat you want to go with. There’s normal ayam (chicken), ayam kampung (village chicken), daging (beef), kambing (lamb), and our favorite – kambing kuzi – all of us ended up ordering the same, with an additional ayam kampung as center plate.
kambing kuzi, hands down
The briyani rice itself were perfectly cooked, fragrant and delicious enough you can have this even just with some sauce. As for the kambing kuzi, we love the tenderness and the rather heavy tasting marinate that makes it a little sweetish, compliments the rice perfectly. The accompanying sambal was on point too.
Expect to pay some RM 20 or more per pax, but if you love briyani rice, this is definitely worth checking out.

kekeke: not the cheapest lunch for sure.
i used to drive by the signboard to this place, back when work brought me to putrajaya at least three times a month, but i never managed to check it out. looks great, perfect for a post-lunch food coma! 😀
Sean: You should check it out one of these days, or is it too far from Sri Petaling? 😀
Never a fan of briyani rice but I like lamb dishes 🙂
Choi Yen: maybe haven’t tried really good briyani!
Why “gam”? I prefer Indian nasi biryani to the Malay ones, love the fragrance of the spices used in the cooking.
suituapui: Now that you mentioned, the best ever I had was actually in Myanmar!
What’s with the word “gam” ar? Any story behind?
Charmaine: I believe it denotes the Malay way of making briyani, with overnight marination and more spices.
Actuallynya, kalau compare dengan beriyani² yg ada di Batu Pahat atau JB, beriyani Putrajaya ni tak sedap. Dahlah bagi keropok macam tu instead of pappadom. And the jelatah is a joke. For RM20+ this wanna be beriyani is ok ok saja. But not worth it.
Anne Ydobon: haha, well, i can’t argue against that, JB has a totally different standard I bet.
LOL.. i was studying at the uni right beside to this restaurant and i have never ever set foot, let alone tried their nasi beriani.. I only had a chance to try their beriani after 15 years!!
Why didn’t i know about them sooner?
budak ex-uni10: hahahaha, often happen to ppl who stay the closest!
