For those who miss their favourite Malaysian/Singaporean food, and those who wish to taste the authentic dishes of the 2 countries, you will find them at Straits Kitchen. Once you've consumed the food and drinks, you will keep returning as we do. We have lunched in this restaurant several times and will continue to go there at every opportunity. It is worth travelling 1.5 hours just to eat at this restaurant. The food, presentation and the service are exceptional. It's a pleasure to chat with the sociable and helpful owner and staff. When we are there to tuck into the delectable food, we feel that we are actually eating in Malaysia/Singapore. Love all the dishes we have had so far but for me the nasi lemak, beef rendang, nasi goreng kampong, kumara donuts, sago gula Melaka, onde ondeh buah Melaka, pengat pisang, chendol are a must try. The customers are all very friendly while they glance at each others orders. I have heard comments from them like "wow, tastes like food at home", "this is delicious", "not homesick for food now". Love the ambience in this large, welcoming restaurant with high ceilings. The fire place is innovative and sort of in the centre of the restaurant. We loved watching the dancing flames, listening to the crackling of wood, and feeling the warmth on a cold Winter's day.
Great food, seafood was to die for. Delicious banna coffee ice cream. Rose extract milk shake was even better than it looked. Awsome service. Just a great dining experience overall, and all for a good price. Can't to wait to come again.
I came here for an impromptu meal In Taihape with a good friend. Sharon and I love trying food from different countries and tonight we chose Malaysian! We weren't disappointed! Helped ourselves to a table, it was about 8pm when we had our dinner. Meals came out in no time at all, thoroughly enjoyed my kebabs as a starter, Sharon wanted to try too! She had a lovely curry chicken and I followed up my starter with a beef Rendang! Awesome it was and soo filling! Prices were very reasonable and the young lady who served us very polite and warm.
Got a warm welcome as we entered this family-run restaurant. Friendly, attentive service. Best Malaysian food I’ve had anywhere (including KL!)
fresh food great fresh flavors verry well priced kid friendly and awesome happy staff knowledgable of the menu and knew exactly what we should order we we described what we like
Wow! We really enjoyed our meals there. Absolutely authentic and delicious!
Good flavor and fast. They serve the plates separately from my gf, but still good.
Delicious meal and hot. Fhe waitress helps me to find a meal because it's lopks all nice on the menu card.
Ask how hot its can be 😊
Pleasantly surprised of the excellent food and brilliant service!
Authentic Malay food. Will definitely come here again!!!!
Wouldn't have likely noticed this restaurant on a short stop through this town while on a trip to Taupo were it not for Google maps (thanks previous patrons for the reviews!). Due to high ratings we saw, we gave it a try. All of us, even our picky eater son, really loved it. Delicious food and drinks. We all ordered various traditional chicken dishes. Service was prompt and friendly. Comfortable not flashy atmosphere. We left quite happy and thoroughly satisfied. Would be happy to eat here again if ever in this town again!
Stopped here on our way up north and didn't regret it! We had the chicken fried rice and it was amazing, some of the best food we had in our entire NZ trip. Definitely go here if you are passing by. Fast wifi too!
