[Disclaimer: The following review has been reviewed by the Vegetarian Restaurant Review team]
Overview
Located in Bandar Utama, Organic Recipe is one of the most famous restaurants among vegetarians, vegans and just about anyone who loves a healthy living lifestyle.
Organic Recipe is well known for their great vegetarian dishes from both Oriental and Western cuisines. Great food, a good environment and friendly staff; it is no wonder their customers keep coming back due to Organic Recipe’s great dining experience. It is almost always packed during lunch and dinner hours.
Organic Recipe is highly recommended for anyone who simply enjoys good, delicious food.
Interior – 4/5
Organic Recipe has a very oriental atmosphere. There is ample space both inside and outside the restaurant, easily accommodating at least 200 diners. There is nothing elaborate about the decorations and restaurant interior, but the set-up is generally neatly arranged and tables are at a good distance from each other. This allows people to walk through easily without obstruction. The lighting in the restaurant is bright, an environment most Chinese like to have their meals in. If bright lighting does not suit your taste, you can also dine al fresco, where the environment is made to look more Westernized and the lighting is dimmer and more cosy.

Food – 4.5/5
The food served in Organic Recipe is without any doubt, one of the best known vegetarian/vegan restaurants in town. They provide Oriental and Western cuisine, and both are equally good based on the quality of its taste and presentation. The best thing about Organic Recipe is that they do not use artificial flavouring, and according to their manager, all of their dishes are prepared with either organic or natural products. Customers can have a choice of the serving size of the dishes they order, though even their smallest serving size is quite generous.
Here are some of Organic Recipe’s most popular dishes recommended by their staff. Take the Carbonara Spaghetti for example, it is one of the best tasting vegetarian spaghettis in town. The chef uses vegetarian cheese and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly. The Vegetarian fish roll is also an excellent choice, and all of Organic Recipe’s mock meats are hand made by their staff. Don’t forget to order their Fresh Fruit Tea drink, you can’t find this tea anywhere else except in Organic Recipe.
Besides functioning as a restaurant, Organic Recipe also provides their customers with a retail corner to shop for organic products and ingredients. Most of their products that are placed on the shelves are outsourced from other companies.

Pricing – 4/5
Just like any other speciality restaurant or cafe, the pricing in Organic Recipe is around the same range. Organic Recipe is surprisingly affordable and reasonable with their pricing, which leaves their customers happy and wanting to come back for a second visit! With the excellent dining experience at Organic Recipe and its reasonable pricing, it is no wonder many people recommend Organic Recipe to their friends. Just to give you a hint of how reasonable the prices are, here are a few examples: The Carbonara Spaghetti is RM15, and the Mushroom Pizza is RM18!
Vegetarian Selection – 4.5/5
Organic Recipe offers their customers a wide range of choices on their menu. Their chef certainly has the skills to prepare a large variety of dishes. Although spoilt for choice, their menu is arranged neatly and it is easy for their customers to make their orders.
Service – 4/5
Good service. The staff attend to the customers almost instantly when they enter the restaurant. Orders were taken precisely and it did not take long for the dishes to be served. The staff are also very well informed about the menu and are able to recommend the popular dishes served at the restaurant.
The manager was also very helpful. Although he had difficulty communicating in English, he tried his level best to get the message across. He was also well versed with the content of the food despite not being the chef.

I was at this restaurant last year & unfortunately I went on a Saturday night & was not to happy with the restaurant manager or supervisor. I was rudely told to seat outside which wasn’t a problem to me but the manner in which he handled it was not the right starting atmosphere for a vegetarian restaurant. I always enjoy going to vegan/vegetarian restaurant as I like the buddhist principles used but I’m afraid this place is no longer a place I would want to go! Thanks for hearing me out!
Thank you Rinpoche and vegetarian restaurant review team for sharing all these food reviews to encourage vegetarianism !! I have been to Organic Recipe for few times , food are delicious , the place are very comfortable and the price is affordable ^_^
Taking vegetarian food is so much better than taking meat,less animals are killed for our pleasure!!
Organic Recipe is one of my favorite restaurant if I want fast, good food with easy parking. The service is good and the price affordable and I love the alfresco dinning area. Yes, the fresh fruit tea is not to be missed as well as the soursop drink! Another must try is the tomyam soup served in coconut.
I never knew their cabonara was a specialty. However, indefinitely do know about their pizza. The only thing missing about their pizza is they don’t have chilli flakes. Other than that, Organic Recipe is also very popular with many many meat eaters. In fact, I was introduced here by a meat eater not a vegetarian. Vegetarian restaurants combined with good food and ambience can be more popular than some non-vegetarian restaurants. Btw, they have a new items on their western menu over the recent months.
Agreed with your review this is a pleasant place to dine in. Very airy and spacious. What more when they cook without adding artificial flavoring. Will definitely bring more friends to try .
HEheeheh we always go to this place, coz the environment is so green like a garden.
And the price is affordable , we can bring friends and fami.y to having celebration.
wow… this restaurant is our lovely place! Yes.. the fresh fruit tea superb nice 🙂 They have many choices, hmmm next time sure try the veggie burger!
I have been to this restaurant, the food here is very healthy, they have the choice of normal white rice or brown rice. I like their fresh fruit tea, very refreshing. Apart from food, they also have a small section selling healthy organic stuff. It’s worth to make a visit.
哈哈，我们算是这家餐厅的常客，因为同事Lew超爱这里的汉堡。我倒喜欢厨师准备的皮萨，乳酪多，很香。意大利面条也不错吃。有时候同事生日我们也去那里庆祝。我也喜欢那个水果茶，又酸又甜的，不错喝。写着写着，仿佛嗅到乳酪的味道了……。
I love Organic Recipe… their spaghetti carbonara is one of my favs. This Vegetarian Restaurant Review section of the blog will make it very convenient for vegetarians to looks for nice vegie places to eat and enjoy =D
This is one of my favorite place! I love their food very much and their fruit punch. The pizza is also tasty!

Don’t choose our attachment! Choose compassion and it’s nice with to go with healthy….yummy!
Organic Recipe is one of my favourite vegetarian and organic restaurants. I simply loved the fruit tea! The food is tasty and nice. Try their Chinese New Year menu next year also, they are very good!
Thank You Rinpoche and the Vegetaurant Review Team for making this section available, vegetarian dining is made easier with your reviews!
They have a tapas menu too, on top of that their western selection is indeed very tasty I love it. I have fallen in love with the food at Organic Recipe everyone i brought there wants to go back. The fact that this place is not easy to find but is packed all the time, is a testament of how good this place is. One of my favourite vege places of all time.
Thanks Rinpoche and Vegetarian Restaurant Review team for this wonderful review regarding Organic Recipe also the map attach on this post, it’s very clear.
I tried the food in here before, and I would say this restaurant is very nice arrange in deco, serve good food and beverage, of course it’s affordable.
I love the cold fresh fruit tea that you guys post here, it’s so refreshing for Malaysia hot weather. One thing i must add in their veg. Bak Kut Teh, it’s so fulfilling and it’s amazing this traditional chinese dish taste so original even without any meat.
Thanks again Vegetarian Restaurant Review Team.
The veggie burger at organic recipe is excellent, everyone must please go try it. Its slightly charred and smoky on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The tomato pizza is really really good too. I’m lucky that the restaurant is less than 5 mins away from my office so I frequent the place quite often as its a quick delicious vegetarian lunch, a welcome change from my usual oily noodles and rice. With vegetarian food this good, who needs meat? Remember, try the burger!
I go to Organic Recipe often when I want a ‘fuss free’ quick meal. Service is good, no parking problem, food is clean and not oily and reasonable price. Friends whom I have introduced the restaurant too and now recurring customers. Who would have imagined that a restaurant can make it in the basement of an apartment block??
Hi all, i just got back from Organic Recipe. Had mixed asparagus and their vege tom yum soup. Yummy…and thumbs up. Thank you Sarah for the direction just now. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the post. Please continue to share with us more. Take care 🙂
If I want to convince someone to be a vegetarian, I will take them to this restaurant…
Their pizzas are so tasty you would want to come back for more.
I like the food of Organic Recipe. the pizza yummy yummy…
Yes, agree with WT, the fruit tea is a must for every trip there.
thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post!
One of the best vegetarian restaurant around, affordable, always full of energy, not complicated, friendly service, a large choice and a wonderful fruit tea! I also always get something from the shop when I go there.
If I may suggest another restaurant that is good, it is Simple Life in the new wing of Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. They sponsored lunch and dinner to volunteers in Sunway Wesak recently and it was good food. Perhaps doing a review on them will be good.
Dear Rinpoche, thank you for sharing and the introduction hehehe…I love the place and food there, been there a few times and i love it. Food are delicious and the place are very cozy 🙂
For alacart dish i love the bittergourd noodle, and i love the fresh fruit tea, its awesome 🙂

I love to go to Organic Recipe for its Western food such as spaghetti, pizza and the house burger. Of course, the fruit tea is a must. yummy! 🙂
Thank you Rinpoche! Will go try it out soon! Bet all the food are delicious.
