Absolutely loved the food here! If you love indo-chinese, this is THE place! Definitely try the roti prata for appetizers , Singapore style chicken , basil veg fried rice and the fried banana dessert !
Super friendly staff . The bartender (I sat at the bar ) was very attentive and made excellent suggestions. The food is excellent! The deep fried banana and mango ice cream dessert was on the house!
Roti prata is the best for appetizer , Mie goreng and nasi goreng are the best for entrees. Try not to miss a pineapple fried rice . Deep fried bananas to end with the dessert ...its yummy
This place is really packed, but worth the wait. If you like spicy food , most menu items are good. Especially the malay sizzling chicken which is like the black pepper chicken but without eggplant .
Finally we found a restaurant we can go back to. Great food and bustling atmosphere on sat night. Though lacks the interior decor. Looks a bit stuffy and unimaginative. staff need interaction skills.
Nothing on the Banana leaf menu will disappoint you. For an appetizer try the roti parata! The Banana leaf rice , Pineapple Fried rice , Mango Chicken and Pepper lamb are superb for first-timers!
Good Malaysian food . The chicken satay was very good as well as the roti , belachan string beans and beef rendang . Sizzling chicken was nice too. 3.5/5
If you do not know what you are ordering, you may or may not like the food. Some of the menu items are delicious, but all of them are spiced a little beyond 'normal'.
They're always packed during lunch time.. so be prepared to wait 10-20 min for your table. The food is totally worth the wait though. Love their roti paratha and veggie pad Thai !
Great service, we fot extra food by accident but its on the house, there was lot of indian family and single date/dating in the corner where they set me and my boo with
I love the Indian Mee Goreng ???? The roti prata is also great and the tom yum soup is perfectly spicy and sour.
Go for the belachan (sambal ) kangkun and beef rendang combo, with coconut rice . Hands down a winner every time.
Tofu salad is a great appetizer
If ur a veggie check out the special page with just veggie options at the end. Try roti prata and veggie basil fried rice with Malay ice tea . Yum!
Loved Mango Prawns ???? !
Good food! Get the Penang Curry ! Also the Fried Mango Ice Cream is a must!
Kangkung balachan with okra + hainan rice are my favorite
Amazing and tasty.. For spicy and chili lovers they will enjoy ;)
Roti Prata as a starter and Rendang Beef was really good!
Wonderful food!! Must try: roti prata , indian mee goreng , pineapple rice .. For desert , try the banana fried ice cream ..
Roti parata is must try appetizer , and for main course - rice + rendang chicken curry ...
Try veg pineapple fried rice and sizzling veggie delight !
If you're a vegetarian , order this: roti prata , pineapple rice , veg pahd Thai and sizzling veggie delight. You'll love it
Go for the prata ! Singaporean black pepper chicken and pineapple fried rice make a good combo..
Malay sizzling chicken is flavorful. Rendang chicken is good if you like a curry similar to the roti prata dipping sauce . Prefer the white to the red sangria .
The wait is killer. But so is the food! Roti & nasi goreng any day, please!
Mango delight (veggie ) is must!! Sluurrpppp!
Roti Paratha , spicy tofu , Indian gee some noodles !! Awesome veggie food! Avoid the spicy vegetable
Can't go wrong about this place except the wait times. Would be great if they take reservations .
I had the green curry . It was very nicely done.
Pineapple rice was fantastic!
Four years later, I still don't recommend this dish. Tastes like spicy ketchup :)
Roti prata is a must have, pineapple fried rice looks and tastes great
Make a reservation or get here early. Very popular place.
Was so busy couldn't get in. Seems 8 ish is the crazy time. The aroma coming from them was amazing
Excellent !! Try the vodka mojito , really different
Curry noodle soup was great and so was the mango chicken
Try mango chicken , it's fantastic!
Almost authentic Malaysian food ...good for those who miss some!!
Too spicy for me (don't judge!). My favorite thing though is coconut rice .
The new Singaporean Black Pepper Chicken is just amazingly good. Yum. Try it!
Must-try: Singaporean Black Pepper Beef ; Belachan Eggplant or String Beans . Should skip: Melaka Anything (too sweet, too generic).
Awesome Roti Prata . Also try the Black Pepper Chicken .
Lesser known fact - owner was a ex-cisco guy, who left and started a Malaysian restaurant with his wife. Super nice owner!
Lunch specials start at $6.95 which include soup of the day, your choice of entree and rice . Most dishes are served on a banana leaf!
My favorite dish here is the mango chicken (or shrimp ). And the fried banana isn't bad either.
Great food! Try the Rendang Chicken ! Super yummy :)
Pepper chicken is awesowe. So is the fried ice cream
Roti prata is very tasty, but a touch expensive .. recommended to have atleast once
Jackie is an excellent host. He checked in 3 times just to make sure we were comfortable . Now that is service!
Pretty authentic! The Char Kwey Teow was really good. Also liked the curry sauce for the roti canai. Princess tofu was also good, used the egg tofu! Food came out fast. Prices were reasonable, too. - Elynn Lee
Special order the bangus sisig (off menu). It's the best thing you can get here... and beer/wine. - Marlo M
Every food we order was good. The bbq pork, bbq beef rib, fried shrimp cake, shredded pork skin, egg cake, the spring roll were all good. Very recommended vietnam restaurant ???? - Joseph Kanginan
