Where is Lorong Rahim Kajai?
Lorong Rahim Kajai is one of the short streets that make up the commercial centre of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), on the western edge of Kuala Lumpur. The numbered rows Lorong Rahim Kajai 13 and Lorong Rahim Kajai 14 are the café, brunch and pub strip that TTDI is best known for, a short walk from Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad and Lorong Datuk Sulaiman 1. The neighbourhood around it is one of KL's most desirable, with mature landed homes, parks and the Taman Rimba Kiara green belt.
Which stretch of Lorong Rahim Kajai is best for a shop?
The Lorong Rahim Kajai 13 and 14 rows are the heart of the café and pub scene and carry the heaviest weekend crowds, so units there are the most contested and rarely vacant. Corner units with space for outdoor seating are especially valued by cafés and bars. Units at the quieter ends of the street, or facing the residential side, suit everyday services and smaller specialty shops that serve residents rather than weekend visitors.
How much is shop rent on Lorong Rahim Kajai?
Lorong Rahim Kajai had fewer than ten rental and fewer than ten sale adverts in the last six months, so there is no fair range to quote. The rental units advertised were about 1,880 to 3,840 sq ft, and every shoplot offered for sale was freehold, at around 5,160 sq ft of built-up area. For guidance, TTDI as a whole sits among the higher rent areas in Kuala Lumpur; see the Kuala Lumpur shop rent page and Kuala Lumpur shoplots for sale, and ask MCE for current units on the street.

Is parking easy on Lorong Rahim Kajai?
Parking is the main challenge, especially on weekend mornings, when brunch crowds fill every bay around the commercial centre. Weekdays are much easier. Cafés and bars can rely on customers willing to walk, while quick-stop trades should consider units closer to open parking.
