WHY LOKL?
Because we’re proud to be LOCAL – not just to be Malaysian, but also to be part of this historic neighbourhood. Spice merchants, craft shops weaving rattan furniture, and the best capati in town – the Tun HS Lee area has it all, and we’re honoured to be here.
We want LOKL to be a focal point for this decades-old community by providing a spot for everyone to hang out. Ask for insider tips on what to see, do, or even where to eat – and we’ll gladly help out.
Our promise to customers is simple:
1. Your food arrives no later than 20 minutes
2. Your waiter looks you in the eye and smiles
3. Your meal always taste the same
If you’re not getting any of these things, tell us what’s wrong, and your next meal will be on the house. If you’re having a great time, be sure to let us know too. Get in touch with us directly via:
