My friend and I came here one evening for a dinner instead of working out. I did not regret it though because this place was yummy. This is not the first time I have been here of course, but it has been a while since because I was trying out a lot of new places. However coming back here feels like coming home.
I ordered mee goreng along with the salt and pepper squid. I forgot what my friend ordered as her main but she also got the malaysian tofu salad - which I devoured without hesitation. It was hot and cold dish at the same time, a little sweet, tangy and salty, with pillowy and crunchy from the peanuts. MY TOTAL FAVOURITE
The mee goreng was a massive portion. I could not finish it all to myself yet I already have a very big appetite. I think the portion would suit at least 2 person setting where they can share food along with other items. This was not a let down at all because for the price I paid, the food was delicious and it was a generous serving that I ended up packing some food for my lunch the next day- WIN!
Everything was nicely seasoned that I couldn't stop eating it until I couldn't breathe anymore, you know what I am sayin' lol. We had alcohol (my pick was a cider) with that which was great because I love alcohol with high carb food, a cheat is always great with another cheat HAHAHA.
Now on to the disappointment - the salt and pepper squid. It was chewy, actually too chewy that it was hard. It felt like my jaws were having a workout, and it was completely forgotten. I never even took it home.
In the past occasions I have been here, I believe I may have ordered the Teh and Milo Ais, Chrysanthemum Tea, and Root Beer - both are yummy but I think my favourite drink with Malaysian food is now cider. Omg I would so transform Malaysian food into bar food. Is that feasible? I don't know.
In terms of food, since it has been a while, I couldn't fully recall exactly what it tasted like. I had their nasi goreng, vegetarian mee goreng, satay chicken and spring rolls. However, none of those occasions left a bad taste to my mouth that I would never go back again. Same with this experience, if I was invited to go and eat there again, I so would. I might try out their sambal beans next time though - remind me. hahaha
If you appreciate the flavour from 'wok', this is the dish you need to try. First time in New Zealand, I tasted 'breath of the wok' in the stir-fried noodle. Just a little pricy.
Have come here a couple times now and the experience has been consistently great. The side dishes are all great. Presentation is nice and I like the boxes that they come in. The stirfried noodle dishes are all great and come in really big portions. Definitely recommend for sharing too.
I love Malaysian food and really enjoy it every time I come here. The laksa is amazing and so are the curries. The seating area is a bit small but the food definitely covers it! Will return!
Delicious food and good size servings, the curry chicken roti was my favorite. We also ordered the me goreng and sambal chicken which were also very tasty. I like that water was provided free of charge.
I assure you that Mamak has the best ever Mie Goreng noodles in Auckland! Their special sauce is not too strong with just the right amount of seasoning and spices. The prawns are perfectly cooked, not over nor under. The portion size is also very big; even though I eat quite a lot, after finishing this I was quite full. Definitely would recommend to people who have only had instant mie goreng noodles and would like to try a fancy mie goreng dish! :)
Ordered spicy mamak mie goreng for takeaway and it tasted like back home! Ha nice! Sometimes when i want spicy, New Zealand spicy is not spicy. But they make mie goreng really spicy which is an exact what i wanted.
I've tried the laksa, roti, KTM and nasi goreng but nothing beats their Mee goreng. They have good portion and meals are cheap. I get takeaway often and sometimes dine in. Their beer prices are also cheap. Food is served quickly and service is great.
Good Malaysian restaurant in chancery! Very nice ambiance, shop also clean! Their nasi lemak is one of the best in town! Their sambal is to die for
Great food and service! Really loved it. Inside was full, me and my friend have to sit outside. The staff was very friendly and turnned the heater on as soon as we seated. I have ordered the Ktm soup, it was the best seafood noodle soup that I have ever had!
Love love love this place authentic, delicious Malaysian food. The best option is to get some small plates and one big plate and try a little bit of everything. So much flavor. The staff was very nice and food came quickly and was fresh. Definitely worth a stop in Auckland!
CURRY CHICKEN NOODLE - A must have dish here.
Served in a massive bowl, full of flavour, veges and heaps of chicken within. This is a flavour punching delicious curry Noodle dish. You must have this here.
Sambal chickens flavour was good, but was very diluted, hence would recommend a skip on it
The staff were friendly.
The environment is a bit out dated, but it still is a delicious dining experience so you forget about the environment.
Will be back again!
A simple Malaysian restaurant with choices of authentic Malaysian dishes. I enjoyed their Char Kway Teow and the chicken bites. Also, their teh ais was icy cold—perfect for hot weather!
I ordered roti canai, but it tastes really different to Malaysia, the roti is too thick. Hmm
I had dinner here with my family, we were so satisfied with the yummy Malaysian food . Portions are big real value for the price . Staff was friendly. We’ll definitely return to Mamak.
Fast delivery of of food to the table. Everything was tasty especially the Satay and sauce. Discount for cash was a bonus. Atmosphere a little noisy and lacklustre but makes up for it with everything else. Well worth the stop if in central Melbourne.
For tapas, I would recommend trying soft shell crabs and sambar fish balls and for mains Seafood laksa & Nasi Lemak. For drinks, you have to try the Malaysian coffee (kopi).
I’ve been coming to this place since 2015 and still have the same quality and taste of food since then. This place can easily be jampack. Luckly when we went its not that busy. They have quick service and staff are nice. Food is always superb!
Best laksa in Auckland. Chicken is cooked perfectly and the food is hot. The chicken noodles are super yum as well. Great prices and genuinely good food. I go here almost weekly. It’s got the hole in the wall vibe but is clean and great service. Small but fantastic! This review has made me decide to go tonight.
I had the chicken curry and it was delicious. Photo is of my colleague's laksa. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Reasonably priced for the CBD too.
