Came here again for dinner before a concert. The food was lovely as usual. Had the Beef Reendang as I recently saw it on Rick Stein’s Far East Asian Odyssey. The beef was tender and very flavoursome. It comes with coconut rice and a curry on the side. I ordered a garlic roti on the side which is always fantastic. My wife had the classic Roti Chenai for $8.50 which was enough to feed her. Next time I will have the Butter Chicken again. It is outstanding at Roti Chenai. Thanks for a lovely dinner and see you again soon.

Great place for South Indian & Malaysian cuisine. Tasty meals, cosy atmosphere..always busy.

Found this place a wee bit pricey compared to others. But they have great spiced tea and authentic Dosa!

Its a pity they don’t have egg less Roti/ flat bread as it would be perfect for vegetarians/ vegans!

Went here with friends to lunch and next time I am after Indian I’ll be here. The service is great and when the waiter (Manager?) heard I enjoyed a good chilli, he came back with one for me to knock my socks off. Open kitchen is appreciated to. It’s also Halal so my Muslim friend could come.

I’ve dined here a few times for several different occassions: birthday dinners, first dates, with a group of friends, quick lunch etc. I have always been pleased!! My absolute favourite is the chicken varutharaka. It’s been bagged a few times for not being the biggest portions but I think the quality of the meals make up for that fact, besides, it is a known fact that at the nicer restaurants you tend to pay more and eat less- it’s just how it goes. I have always found the service polite, efficient and friendly. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because the layout lets it down- it’s a bit squashed. They could do to get rid of a few tables.
Overall i’d recommend it.

Roti Chenai is another tiny Malaysian restaurant in the CBD in a long line of other establishments. Here we have slightly differently done dishes, slightly more expensive than other places though, and smaller portion sizes. Their roti chenai is much different from most, but is smaller and comes with inferior roti bread pieces. Anyway, generally speaking, the food is quite good, but doesn’t seem to be worth the extra few dollars when you can get something similar at another place down the road for cheaper. Certainly worth a try, but the reason i haven’t been back in a long time is the uneccesarily more expensive prices, and the small pokiness of the setting.

Elsewhere – the menu is sizeable, staffed by Sri Lankans, the menu reflects a mixture of South Indian regional, Sri Lankan, and Malay dishes and is quite authentic. Prices, and tastiness can be beat by other places, but this is certainly not the worst retaurant in the CBD

Always good value for a delicious, filling lunch.

have visited sevral times and has never left disappointed. great food at a reasonable price.

The food is above average and the location and atmosphere are both good. Some of the food quantities are not quite adequate but its definitely worth a try for a quick lunch or a nice dinner.

Great place for a cheap and filling lunch!

I always enjoy coming here, it’s been incredibly consistent over the years and is deservedly still popular.

The murtabaks are great, as are the dosai. I’ve never had any bad dish, tho…

Layout is often a bit cluttered, which sometimes makes me a bit eager to eat up and clear out.

Love the food and atmosphere at this restaurant. Always fantastic meals at a good price.

Staff are quick and attentive without being over bearing.

Recommend this place for a quiet, inviting meal on the cheap.
