This is a small casual eatery. Malay dishes & some Malay style South Indian. It's tasty & a different experience for me. I like South Indian & this is similar but with a twist. Example a nice touch to include fried anchovy in the veggies. The chicken 65 & the Saturday special plate was really good. Portions are good. Chicken roll delicious & less spicy than in some Sri Lankan restaurants. Generally this is spicy food but manageable.. & can't wait to try the nasi lemak.

I got the Saturday special & the chicken 65 for entrée. I think the highlight of the dish is the chicken 65 which is also in the Saturday special, you get a lot of different flavors in 1 dish. There's fish, shrimps, chicken curry, vegetables & fried chicken. The portion is really good for the price! I'm definitely coming back to try something else because I'm not the biggest fan of seafood but I think someone who likes shrimp would enjoy this dish.

We had the nasi lemak (Malaysian) & shrimp fried rice. Wow! The owner was also very kind. A true class act. I wish they had a location in Toronto.

I had Bilis Nasi Goreng (fried rice with dried anchovies) with a fried egg on top & I must say the flavors of the dish lives up to expectations. I also had Mango Lassi & its a good pairing drink with my nasi goreng. Check out their other dishes on the menu too. If you enjoy south east asian flavors, this is a nice restaurant to visit in Montreal.

we had beef rendang & nasi lemak, then a mango lassi & masala chai for our walk home, it was perfect. food was delicious, the spicy anchovy chutney was quite spicy for me but so good i braved myself to eat all of it, the boiled egg helped a lot actually. the spices on the fried chicken was very delicious too! & the crispy anchovies! the sour chutney on the rendang was also very yummy!
i really appreciate the kind owners' detailed attention to the food & drinks they make & to their customers. go here to support your local business!

The nasi lemak, meat thali, & fried shrimp noodles were all excellent, but especially the nasi lemak! Masala chai & mango lassi were great too! The owners are a sweet & hospitable couple from Sri Lanka & Malaysia.

We took the nasi lemak & the shrimp noodles & both were delicious!

The shrimp noodles were well coated in the sauce & were packed with vegetables! It gave off a cozy feeling as if it was a home cooked meal 🤤

It was my first time trying nasi lemak so I cannot compare it, but I can still say that it was enjoyable! The fried anchovy gave it a nice crunchy texture when you add it to your bite & the sauce on top of the coconut rice was nicely spiced!

I would definitely come back on a saturday to try their Saturday special as recommended by the owner!
