Reviewers note that Restaurant Canada Best offers authentic Malaysian and Sri Lankan comfort food in a small, unassuming space, with Nasi Lemak and Rendang frequently named as standout dishes. Generous portions, bold sambal, fragrant coconut rice, and crispy ikan bilis are often praised, and the Nasi Lemak is described as heavenly. A warm, welcoming atmosphere comes from a friendly husband and wife running the place, with attentive service and thoughtful dish recommendations. The experience is cozy and homey rather than flashy, making it well suited for casual family meals and friendly gatherings. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the quality, and many diners plan return visits, especially for the Saturday specials and a wide range of menu items from noodles to curries. The menu is noted as accommodating for allergies and halal preferences, and customization is a plus. While a few comments mention occasional delays, the overall consensus is that the food is flavorful, authentic, and memorable, inspiring guests to bring friends and return again.
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.
Authentic nasi lemak. The rice was so flavourful & you could taste the aroma of the coconut. Everything blended well together. Lassi drink was great too. Owners were friendly & welcoming.

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.
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.
Superbe découverte ! Le Nasi Lemak était tout simplement délicieux, riche en saveurs & très bien préparé. Si vous cherchez une cuisine authentique & réconfortante, je vous recommande vivement cette adresse

Good service. Delicious Food. They give very generous portions for a reasonable price. I had the Saturday Special & can't wait to go again for the Nasi Lemak.
A gem in Parc-Ex!
This was a truly beautiful culinary discovery.
The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with love. We took the Chicken Noodles & Nasi Lemak (highly recommended). As you can see, we completely devoured our dishes!
The owner & his wife, who run the restaurant, provided a warm & welcoming service. They took the time to guide us through the menu & give us great recommendations.
You truly sense the passion behind every dish. I highly recommend this spot & will absolutely be coming back.
A true must-try!!!
This is such a nice spot & really affordable, the food really brought us back to our trip to Bali. The husband & wife team were super nice & welcoming too! Loved the nasi lemak & the rendang ayam!
The best place in Montreal (& maybe Canada) for Malaysian food. Hole-in-the-wall kind of place owned by a lovely Sri-Lankan & Malaysian couple. I've been to Malaysia & their Nasi Goreng & Nasi Lemak is better than a lot of places I've tried in Malaysia. Very friendly people & service too.

Amazing food experience! Friendly owner & the food was very authentic, cheap & most importantly delicious. I definitely recommend the Nasi Lemak & Shrimp Noodles. There's no better malaysian or Sri Lanka restaurant in Montreal
Je ne connais rien de la cuisine srilankaise ou malaisienne, mais je peux dire que ce resto offre de délicieux repas. J'ai pris le nasi lemak; c'était un joli plat aromatique, varié dans sa composition (riz, oeuf, poulet frit & légumes en sauce) & savoureux. J'ai aussi goûté au beignet vadai. Pas mal aussi! Mais c'est vraiment le nasi lemak qui vole la vedette.
Les autres plats ont l'air tout aussi délicieux; je reviendrai certainement pour les essayer. Le monsieur m'a bien accueilli & conseillé. Bien sympathique! Très satisfait.
Tout petit endroit, mais le propriétaire est tellement gentil. J'y suis allé pour le nasi lemak (riz au noix de coco) & il était goûteux & fait avec les ingrédients comme « chez nous »! Les portions sont généreuses & pour le prix ça vaut la peine!
Came back for the nasi lemak, stayed for the nasi goreng! The sambal, coconut rice, & crispy anchovies hit every note. Everything was packed with flavor - my go-to place for Malaysian comfort food.
