Reviewers describe Restaurant Canada Best as a cozy, family run spot that serves authentic Malaysian and Sri Lankan comfort food with generous portions and good value. The nasi lemak is repeatedly highlighted as a standout, with coconut rice, sambal and tasty accompaniments, while other favorites include chicken rendang, kothu roti, mee goreng, shrimp noodles and a feature Saturday special thali. The dishes are praised for freshness, bold flavors and a home cooked feel, and the atmosphere is described as welcoming and relaxed with friendly, attentive service. A few notes mention occasional delays during busy times, but overall the hospitality and guidance through the menu are regularly commended. Desserts or drinks like mango lassi and masala chai are appreciated, and many reviews emphasize that the experience is affordable, generous in portions and makes for great family meals or casual gatherings, with halal options noted and the place regarded as one of the best in the area.
Delicious rendang & nasi lemak, obviously made with lots of care & love. Huge portion for around $20 a plate. Prompt & polite service. Very satisfied. Dining room is a little small so you can't come with a big group, but for two people it's perfect.
Unassuming, hole in the wall restaurant. Nasi lemak didn't disappoint. Sambal legit. Two good size chicken (2 drum 1 thigh), generous ikan billis, 1 egg, peanuts, cucumber & the coconut rice. So big plate even my teenage son couldn't finish. Totally worth the $19.95cad. In the states, it would be US$20 with half an egg, only 1 piece of meat & maybe 2-3 slices of cucumber, & half the ikan billis & nuts.
For nut allergy, they can put the nuts on the side.
Next time, we'll order 1 nasi lemak plus extra meat that would be enough for two persons.
Actually next time, we'll try the rendang.
Was lucky to grab a parking spot. Not the place to impress your date but otherwise the food is so good.

Expérience vraiment chaleureuse & délicieuse ! Les plats étaient excellents & très sains. Le staff est tellement gentil & le mango lassi est un incontournable. À très bientôt !
Première expérience après en avoir entendu parlé depuis quelques mois. Dès mon entrée la personne m'a demandé si c'était ma première fois ici & il m'a recommandé
3 plats. J'ai donc pris un classique pour tester ma première expérience, soit les nouilles aux poulet & wow, tout fut absolument délicieux, la texture, le goût, la fraicheur. J'ai assurément très hâte d'essayer les autres plats 🙂
The best! A treasure of delicious food & warm, inviting service! You will not be disappointed. Generous portions of the most tasty & authentic Malay food (Rendang Ayam & Nasi Lemak). Friendly service in a very cozy place, too.
The best biryani & kottu roti ever. It's so good, lowkey wanted to gate keep this place. I took everybody I know to get food here, partner, co-workers, friends & they all love it. My co-workers never had indian food before their biryani & this place is a solid choice as your gateway to more Indian food. The owner is so friendly & always make sure you're good.
