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.
My god am I impressed!! If you look at my profile you'll see that I mostly only remember the bad experiences with restaurants & establishments. Rarely am I ever blown away by something but this meal has done something extremely special. Props to the chef. The combination of flavors in the shrimp fried rice was like nothing I've had before. 10/10 one the best meals I've had this year.
Extremely delicious Malaysian Food with South Indian food! We Had Nasi Limak which had consisted of Spicy Fried Chicken with crispy anchovies , Coconut Rice with egg , cucumber & A type of spicy Curry Sauce. Each of which tasted amazing ! Their fish cutlet & Chicken rolls were on point as well!! 11/10
My partner is Chinese Malaysian & said the Nasi Lemak tasted just like at home. I tried it with a new option they were trying out with sambal fish & it was great! The sambal is spicy; I thought it was nice that they have a mix of spicy & non-spicy dishes on the menu. I ended up having *two* mango lassis -- great fresh mango taste with a hint of coconut. The restaurant was also trying out a new soup with a chicken & lemongrass broth & winter vegetables, which I really hope they officially add to the menu for winter. Definitely recommend.
Spectacular Malaysian & Sri Lankan food. The Nasi Lemak was amazingly flavorful & well spiced. The owner is very welcoming & helpful in offering up his suggestions. My wife & I went tonight for the first time & we're already looking forward to coming back!
Amazing experience last night at this restaurant. Authentic south asian food at a great price. Plus the owner is super kind & welcoming. I highly recommend !
I ordered sea food noodles for five people for take out. I asked the owner to put it on one tray. When I went to pick up, the tray was ready. The food was simply amazing & the tray was good enough for 10 people. The owner is a real kind & pleasant person to deal with. He offered me masala tea for free which was delicious. I highly recommend their food. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this place! The food is authentic, flavorful, & truly feels like home-cooked Malaysian cuisine. The owner is incredibly friendly & welcoming, making the experience even better. You can tell there's so much heart in every dish. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Malaysian flavors!
Highly recommended!! We were on a short visit to Montreal & visited this restaurant for some lunch with the family. The owner was amazing, food was fantastic & extremely value for money. Customized few on the menu to fit our child as well. Will definitely visit this place next time we come around.
