Great authentic Malay food for a reasonable price. Make sure you get on time as there can be a waiting list to get a table.

Approximate cost: $20

If you want authentic malay food then this is the place to come. Good servings, reasonable prices and tasty food.

Tasty Malaysian food in the city. Now an iconic destination. Sometimes the queue stretches all the way around the corner. Take some good friends so you can chat while you wait in the queue.

This place has been a favourite for many years. I've visited this place several times and I'm never dissapointed. Roti planta (buttery roti), rojak salad and roti tisu (dessert roti) are my personal favourites. The roti is to die for and is excellent value for money ($6-11). There are very long queues here - luckily there is also a Chatswood location which is larger and has the exact same dishes with the same high quality!

Long queue evend weekend lunch, I hope they can do about it. Food is not as authentic Malaysian food but still good for the price.

Approximate cost: $24

Very affordable and the food is very nice. You have to wait on a long queue though. People start to fall in line as early as 30 minutes before the opening

Approximate cost: $15

There is always a queue outside Mamak even on a weekday. The food is authentic Malaysian/Chinese, it's great to watch the Chefs making the roti at the front of restaurant while waiting. Must try their Tea Tarek for takeaway if you want a quick bite/drink.

Malaysian restaurant near china town. More people raving about this, also when you pass by the area you can see a lot of people patiently waiting to have a table. So , I thought it must be good!

But when I tried one of my Malaysian fave dish chicken satay, I was disappointed. My husband tried Nasilemak and it's just fine nothing special. So I think it's a bit overrated.

Mamak is one of the best Malaysian restaurants in the city. This place gets really busy, so you'll have to be prepared to wait. The roti and side sauces are delicious and I really like their fried chicken too.

It's open to the piddling hours of the morning is it's a good place to go if you're out of the house at 1am. I go there for the dessert which is great.
It's almost always packed so it's noisy but it's cheap and tasty so it's worthwhile overall.
