We found this place by accident and a happy accident it was! Such friendly owners and such flavoursome food! Especially hospitable to the children. Clean, unpretentious and delicious

One of the best Malay restaurants in Auckland. The food is authentic and the staff are super friendly.. the mouth watering beef rendang keeps me going back for more!

I love how the customer service is awesome and really friendly and approachable. Food is great too. #shoutme

This is a great place to go for a celebration. We all had a brilliant time celebrating my friend’s graduation. Yummy food, good ambiance, friendly and attentive staff.

XO Chicken totally tasty. Lovely staff too !

Being close to home I do love this place. John is a great host and always welcomes you with a smile. Try the XO squid - simply exquisite. Average main course is $20-$25.

Perhaps the one place every Westie needs to visit - everything on the menu is mouth watering. Try the XO

One of West Auckland’s best kept secrets - if you're dining in make sure you make a reservation. This place is always packed - best Malaysian I’ve had.

The food is delicious and authentic tasting, the owner is friendly and welcoming, it's a winning combination.

The food is absolutely amazing, authentic tasting, reminds me of food back home (per haps even better haha) the staff are friendly, and a good time with friends or family is always to be had.
