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.

Very nice hidden gem. Not many places to have Malaysian & this place was delicious. Very hospitable, homemade, momma poppa vibes. Servings are generous & food tasty. Will be coming back!
This restaurant truly stands out! The attention to detail in both the food & service is remarkable. Every dish we ordered was delicious & prepared with care. The flavors were bold & authentic, & everything tasted incredibly fresh. The staff was welcoming, professional, & made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. The overall experience was smooth & enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality dining.
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.

La nourriture est délicieuse, les portions sont généreuses pour un prix abordable & les propriétaires sont charmants! Un petit trésor à découvrir. Nous allons revenir essayer le spécial du samedi la prochaine fois!
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.
