Kane McErvaleMay 24, 2016Had to line up on the pavement to get in but it was TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! The lamb curry is delicious and the Roti Canai truly is as good as everyone had told me. Highly recommended.
Ruth PereiraJuly 20, 2013If you like it spicy, try the fish curry n ask for plain roti instead of the roti canai,Or you will just end up with a lot of curry. Must end your meal with the Roti bom accompanied with icecream!
tbxl 🐨November 1, 2014Mee Goreng is pretty decent, just a shy of pure authenticity. Don't forget to squeeze the lime all over and ask for chilli sauce if you want some chilli kick dancing.
Richard YeungMarch 13, 2016The coconut milk rice in Nasi Lemak and beef satay were less than ideal, but so far this has been the best Malay food I have ever had outside of Malaysia.
- David LeorangAugust 30, 2017Wow, how can you not love this place. This place is so busy and when you taste the food you know why. I come here every time I go to the city
Christopher KnightOctober 3, 2014Awesome. Menu is small but really good. Service is lightning fast and all food arrives within 10 minutes of ordering. The drinks are excellent too. Never had anything I didn't like off the menu.
Khalid OmarNovember 21, 2013Mamak remains. The bastest. Have faith in the wisdom of random internet tips and stay away from the roti murtabak. The plainest roti is the original and the best. Egg roti bats one down.
Bodie SchultzMarch 13, 2017What is not good. Had almost all the menu and i still love going for a roti canai or planta with chicken curry followed by some satay sticks or even some fish curry.
We always come back for more of their chicken satay and rojak salad. Curry isn't that nice. Roti are delicious. Come late at night no queueing.
Yoonie SJanuary 9, 2019Get there when it opens as a queue forms well before opening time! The roti planta and kari kambing are must orders!!! Avoid the beef satay which was tough and chewy!
ChillWith meSeptember 13, 2012A plate of roti- Ayam fried chicken and some teh tarik.... Heaven! You can't book here and the lines are long- so come here early e.g. 11:30am Organise your next hangout here using http://Chillwith.me
Go for the classic roti canai. Ayam goreng is their version of fried chicken, totally delicious! And top it off with ice Milo. One of the best restaurants in Sydney!
ปุ้มปุ้ย ใหม่สดเสมอJune 1, 2013The famous Malasian restaurant in Sdyney.The long line but it is worth the time for waiting.The Roti tissue,a crispy and sweet roit with ice-cream,is the dessert that I recommendes.
George WestcottApril 6, 2016Simple, quick and amazing. You can't go wrong here and definitely worth the wait.- !mmAugust 21, 2018Their curry with roti is nice though the curry is a bit spicy. Dessert rotis are delicious!
BommyApril 13, 2019Roti, lam curry, mie goreng, and fried chicken. Service is slow and not great. Byob!
Yoshi SpendiffApril 29, 2018A plain roti and lamb curry is one of the best things to eat in the whole city. You can avoid queues at lunch on weekdays
JuanMarch 1, 2013Chicken satay are so good, roti is great. Used to the queue but once you're in the food arrives very fast. Overall... I love this place.
Elliot ChanceMay 25, 2015It's gets extremely busy so you might be waiting a while. However, it's totally worth it. All the currys are fantastic.
Eatosaurus RexMay 22, 2015Ridiculously good roti from @mamakrestaurant. Be ready to queue up no matter what time you go because you will be queueing up and I promise it won't be short.
Anderson VankayalaMay 7, 2019There’s almost always a line, come in before rush hour. Also no substitutions in any of the dishes
MariaSeptember 5, 2014Everything is good here! A long line though, but it did move at a decent pace.
SteveJanuary 30, 2016Get ready to queue, but enjoy watching the guys making roti through the window as you wait.
Gwenny HubertJanuary 11, 2016Don't get shocked by the line outside if you are in twos they can probably seat you easier which means they'll take you out of the queue directly to your table after 5 min!
Ken KJuly 22, 2011I am doomed. Now that I have found Mamak's banana roti with ice-cream (roti pisang) I am doomed to fatness. And my wife is doomed to a life with a fat husband for as long as my... http://urbns.pn/3cAB
Nish WijesooriyaAugust 27, 2014Highly recommend the sambal prawns and slow cooked lamb curry! Perfectly compliment Mamak's signature roti canai.
Hannah NicdaoJuly 22, 2015Roti...just put it in my face. DELICIOUS. Worth the wait...just be mentally prepared for queuing and bring good company :)
Denea GourmetRabbitJanuary 18, 2011Sydney cult favorite with another in Chatswood. You'll queue but it's worth it. Roti's light and fluffy and they serve Milo with canned milk. Oh Malaysia, I miss you
KevinconquerorFebruary 28, 2016Vegetarian option but limited, tried the nasi lemak with vegetables. The sambal that comes with the rice has fish in it.
K MSeptember 23, 2013Get there just before 5:30 so you get a table straight away. Check out the dessert roti!
- Greg CalApril 28, 2015Worth waiting in the queue (often it moves fairly quickly too). The roti is delicious
Sam WelshJune 18, 2012The best malaysian I've had in Australia. They listened to me and are coming to melb. This will save me $$$ on flights. Try the lamb Nasi lemak and tea Tarik
Expect long queues. Worth the wait tho. Lamb Murtabak is recommended with Teh Tarik.
Bo BowJanuary 27, 2011The best authentic Malaysian food in Sydney!! I luv Roti Canai, Mee Goreng, Stay Chicken, Roti Tisu with ice-cream, Teh Tarik Tea -- So Yummy!! -- :)
Anika MageeJanuary 28, 2010Simply the best Malaysian roadside style food in Sydney. Get the Roti Canai (yes you have to eat it with your hands)and the Milo ais. Milo with condensed milk. Cheap as chips and BYO. Read more
Phil TusingFebruary 21, 2014Be prepared to wait...and wait. First to get a table, then for the food to arrive. Food is great.
- Denea GourmetRabbitJune 20, 2011Go, leave your name on the list then duck around the corner to Red Bottle for a solid beverage selection. By the time you get back, you're in
Best roti in Australia, I always dine here when in Sydney. Well worth the wait & ordinary service. It's like dining in Malaysia but without the constant heatwave.
