Solaris Dutamas is a mixed-use development in the Mont'Kiara-Dutamas area of Kuala Lumpur, comprising retail lots, F&B outlets, and office space. While not a conventional shopping mall, it functions as a neighbourhood commercial hub for the surrounding residential community, with a cluster of restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and service-oriented businesses spread across its ground-floor retail areas and shophouse lots.
The dining options at Solaris Dutamas are its primary draw, with a mix of local and international eateries ranging from Chinese restaurants and Japanese izakayas to Western bistros and coffee shops. The retail component is modest compared with nearby malls — a handful of convenience stores, salons, and service outlets rather than fashion or electronics chains. The development serves the daily needs of the Dutamas and Mont'Kiara residential population, with particular strength in its evening dining and supper scene.
Solaris Dutamas is accessible via Jalan Dutamas and is a short drive from Publika Shopping Gallery. Parking is available within the development, though it can be congested during dinner hours. Operating hours vary by individual tenant.

I honestly found the place boring. And especially on weekdays, parkings are a real struggle there as most of parking spots there are reserved. The only stores I like there are Decathlon, gadget shop & Guardian. The mall is small & other than bars, it doesn't have entertainments like cinemas, arcades or kids indoor playgrounds. As a Muslim, I don't go/hang out at the bars. The eateries & F&B choices there are OK. You can get all kinds of cuisines, cafes & bakeries. My kids like Empire Shushi, so glad they're there. Some of of my favorites F&B like I love Yoo, Gigi Coffee, Christine's, Coffee Stain, Juice Work & Bestari Nasi Kandar are there. And there is 1 bakery & dessert shop near the escalator that I am tempted to try but changed my mind because there's No Halal logo.

One-stop place to stay and hang out. A lot of food variety, convenience stores, events, and a nice residential complex.
Bahman Mohadeci
Overall, it’s a good shopping complex with a nice variety. It has essentials like a supermarket, restaurants, and several cafés, as well as other options like clothing stores and electronics shops. However, the parking is expensive, you have to pay more than 10 ringgit even if you stay just two or three hours.
