Marta's Kitchen @ Hartamas
Marta's Kitchen @ Hartamas is a Spanish restaurant located in Sri Hartamas with spacious interiors featuring high ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor seating areas, with the patio surrounded by fountains and plants, while the open kitchen allows diners to watch chefs prepare dishes.
The restaurant was founded by Marta Alonso, a teacher from Salamanca who introduced Spanish cuisine to Kuala Lumpur and grew a small operation into a well-known establishment. Over time, it expanded and opened a second location in Lalaport mall.
The restaurant is named after its founder Marta Alonso, a former teacher from Salamanca who brought Spanish culinary traditions to Kuala Lumpur. The decor featuring wine bottles and bull figurines, combined with the menu of tapas, paella, and regional specialties, reflects the food culture of Spain.
The restaurant is located inside The Signature Hotel in Sri Hartamas, near a Shell petrol station, and offers free parking within the building that staff can assist with upon arrival. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner, as the space fills up quickly and is better suited for a relaxed meal rather than a quick bite.
The restaurant has received special recognition from Spain for its quality and serves multiple paella variations, including one made with squid ink that has a dark color and deep flavor. This specialty paella stands apart from the traditional Valencian and Iberico pork versions, offering visitors a surprisingly different Spanish taste experience.
