Mamak

This place was suggested to me by a friend who knows what’s up in the food world, so I was so excited to try it out! We both asked the waiter for their recommendations, and as soon as the food came out, I was thanking my past self for saving enough room for dinner. These bowls were packed with food, and the pile of tofu atop my dish was sky-high! The sauce in the Chef’s Special Spicy Tofu (order this without pork if you are vegetarian) is nicely sweet yet heavily salted as well, and it’s - of course - spicy from the red pepper flakes. Would totally recommend, but I would keep in mind that service might rush you a bit / be quite impatient, as I noticed both while we were ordering and later paying. Also, vegetarian options are highly limited, but they are willing to adjust protein options if you ask. Nonetheless, the great dishes, very fast output of food, and stellar location in the Asian Plaza on Buford Hwy make the experience worthwhile!

Everything was amazing—check out the pics below! The curry was definitely a must-try. I’ll be back for sure!

This is certainly overhyped restaurant and very disappointing. We tried satay, Hainese chicken and Singapore noodles. None of it was delicious and everything was super oily. I could make better version of these at home. The hainese chicken is way better at food terminal. The chef should go taste there to learn this dish.

Mamak, absolutely delicious Malaysian cuisine. We ordered the chicken fried rice ( spicy ), very tasty. My absolute favorite was the 3 pepper beef, crazy flavors full of delicious taste. Definitely see myself coming back for that. Also ordered the Mango Chicken which was sweet and savory, nice crunch to the fried mango chicken with mango slices. The ambience inside of Mamak is beautiful. Quick service. The restaurant is in a strip so there maybe a wait time depending on the time you're going. Great place to have lunch or dinner, you'll leave full and happy!

Malaysian restaurant In doraville buford hwy. It is a small authentic restaurant but all foods were clean and fresh. It was my first time trying Malaysian food so I went with the recommendation wall. Recommendation wall was right. Definitely recommend roti canai as a starter! The sauce was so creamy goes perfect with light and fluffy Indian style naan. I ordered curry naksa noddles with seafood (comes with scallop, fish, shrimp) and Hainanse Chicken. Sea food noodles were little mild flavor but chicken was delicious. Everyone in the restaurant was drinking house chai tea and had stir fried noodles so check it out !

I am a Malaysian and had been craving Malaysian food since moving to America. The chef is a Malaysian and the food here is truly wonderful and authentic — the sambal okra and chicken rice were outstanding.

Mamak has a big menu. It was hard to choose. I'll have to come back. We went there with another couple. We ordered so many things! Everything was very good. Some dishes were excellent. Those include: The chicken wing appetizer Fish and tofu Beef brisket- so tender! Roti We will definitely be back!!!

To all the reviews that stated this place has a new chef and ownership-it's absolutely TRUE and not for the better. Have been coming here for years for good Malaysian food but was concerned when it didn't look like the normal packed house. First, the place has been taken over by Chinese mainlander ownership (not racist, I am also Chinese) trying to do "Malaysian." Second, the customer service is nonexistent because quite frankly no body cares. My classic fish soup noodle is completely different from the way it was. The fish pieces (see picture) use to be fried and bursting with flavor. Now, it's just a standard flavorless, MSG dependent dish. Regret not checking their reviews when the place looked a bit too empty.

This restaurant was amazing! Came highly recommended and we ordered 3 dishes for the 2 of us: - Roti canai - Curry laksa - Chow kway teow I've been to Malaysia and the food here at Mamak was SOOO good. We finished every drop on our plates of the roti canai and the laksa, and I took some of the noodles home as leftovers which I promptly devoured the next morning, they were so good. Everything had the right flavor, spice, and texture. I cannot wait to return and try more things!

The menu encompasses a broad range of street foods from Malaysia and Singapore. Very impressive "reach" - I wanted to try about 80% of the items. I tried six items - among them the laksa (chicken) to the beef rendang to the crispy tofu. Presentation is nice but what is missing is the depth of flavor in these dishes. The beef rendang has a strong shrimp paste flavor, not at all what I expect of this dish, one of my very favorite Asian dishes. The crispy tofu lives up to its name, nice crispy fried blocks of tofu but the sauce was meh - just salty. Not very complex in flavor. Finally, the Sar Char beef, while it looked great, also had a strong salty flavor, not much umami flavor to it. Again, not an impressive representation of this Chinese barbecue flavor. I visited this restaurant for a business dinner about nine months ago and was quite impressed with the flavors. This meal was not what I remembered. The service is quite nice. Prompt and courteous.

came to eat for 2 Roti Canai - fresh and hot, get it! curry laksa - has flavor, but could be more, to give more wow factor. Decent otherwise. noddle is fine. spare ribs were also good. about 6 pieces or so. The broth is quite light and not in a thick version. Mango chicken - fried chicken was done well. some piece with less chicken inside and more outer crust. Flavor was good, and you do taste the mango influence. tons of mango slices (would say more the less ripe mango) Dish was like a mango version of orange chicken. Has a sweet and tangy flavor. Enjoyable. Rendang beef - meaty and some potatoes and just meat. good spice and flavor, authentic. Goes well with rice. definitely need another dish to cut the taste buds. would recommend Service was straight to point. no complaints.

My takeout experience at Mamak was pleasant. The beef and chicken dishes smelled amazing and tasted great. The roti was soft and went well with the curry sauce that comes with it. I would definitely visit the restaurant and experience the dishes and services in-house.

I wanted desperately to have some amazing food here. Being from Singapore - this food felt like home. The chicken fried rice was fantastic , no faults there however the lor mee was bland and nothing like you would get back in Malaysia or Singapore. However I did ask for some "sambal" or hot chili paste and vinegar (note they have no black vinegar) and it improved the dish Service was fast, great - No loud music, good space between tables - I have heard good things from this place so will be back in no time to try other dishes

Easily my favorite restaurant!! I could eat here everyday (if possible I totally would). The roti canai, black pepper beef, and chef special stir fried noodles are my go. Service is always fast and food is always delicious!

Haven't been back in ages, and the food is still amazing! The four of us scarfed down our food as if we were starving for days. It was THAT good. There wasn't a wait since we got there at the perfect time I suppose. But the location is still small, and the popularity is still there. * Sambal okra: A good portion size with good flavors. * Chow kway teow: OMG. I love noodles, and this dish was delish!!! * Hainanese chicken: Still a staple thing to get here. And it's still good. * Chef's special fish fillet: It's a tad saucy. The hubs said it was like orange chicken but in fish form. The fish was really tender and full of flavor.

Food is exceptionally good. Dry close to the taste and flavors of what I experienced in Kuala Lumper. The restaurant dining area is basic but quaint. The waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable of the food. Our food came out quick. The chicken satay skewers were flavorful; but it was fried instead of grilled. I rather have grilled. The roti canai was good, fluffy and chewy. The dipping sauces were quite good. Sambal Okra was tasty and crunchy one of may favorite ways to prepare okra. Curry Laksa Seafood and Curry Beef Brisket were both very creamy smooth and had enough spice to add a punch. Enjoyed both very much.

This is still probably the best Malaysian restaurant in Atlanta. I'm never disappointment in any dish every time I come here. The restaurant always seems packed so that's a good sign. We got the sambal okra, chow kway teow, hainese chicken, and chef's special fish fillet. All four dishes were great but if I had to rank them the would go chow kway teow: Top noodle dish hainese chicken. It's tender and fresh. chef's special fish fillet. It's basically orange chicken except fish. It was sweet but not too overwhelming. sambal okra: It's not slimy or too fried. Would I come here again? Yes. I would always recommend this place over Food Terminal when it comes to Malaysian food.

Placed a take out order last week and had an amazing meal. We ordered the chefs special noodles, black pepper beef, curry lahska and 3 orders of the roti. We are all obsessed with the roti from here so we all wanted our own orders. The beef was super flavorful and not chewy. I could eat a whole order of those noodles myself. It ended up being so much food we saved the curry lahska for later.

Atmosphere: Mamak is a small restaurant serving Malaysian and other Asian dishes in Doraville. We didn't eat in, but the atmosphere seemed pleasant and cozy. Service: We ordered takeout, and our food was ready promptly for pickup (around 20 minutes). Food: We ordered the Beef Randoing and Chef Special Spicy Tofu. The Beef Randoing was flavorful and very spicy. We have a pretty high spice tolerance, and the beef definitely tested our limits. The Chef Special Spicy Tofu had a pleasantly sweet and spicy sauce, and although our to-go order had the tofu and sauce separated, the tofu was a bit soggy and gummy when we had our meal at home. Overall: Mamak has some flavorful food! While we enjoyed our meal, we thought that it had a high price point, especially for a meal consisting of tofu, rice, and beef. We recommend giving Mamak a try in-person if possible to experience their food at its freshest.

came in with a big group so we were able to share a bunch of things. Wish I remembered to take pictures of everything but I was so hungry I forgot lol. From what we ordered, would recommend the flat noodle with seafood, char kwo tay, the beef pepper steak and the eggplant with salted fish. The flat noodle with seafood is essentially like egg ho fun with wok fried noodles covered in this delicious eggy sauce. The portion was huge! The other noodle dish had a nice smoky wok flavor which I really enjoyed. I think my favorite of everything from was surprisingly the eggplant. It comes out in a clay pot so everything is caramelized with a sweet and salty flavor that paired great with the rice.

I've heard so many good things about this place and wanted to try it so badly. I finally had a chance on Sunday and was disappointed. The only thing they had going was that they were fast. The food was very salty and rather basic. I'm kinda mad my friend told me this place was amazing. Wasted my money and cheat day.

Honestly nothing that hasn't been said already about this place. I had no idea it was where it was, tucked into the same shopping center as Ming's and Lameizi. Parking was relatively easy to find even for a busyish weekday lunchtime. I was a little surprised at how small the inside was but they did turn tables pretty quick (ours included). None of the food took a real long time to prepare. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than I expected on the rendan beef, especially given the price. Taste wise definitely legit, even if the beef was a little greasier than I would've liked, made it richer than it already was. Spicy tofu was actually less spicy than the beef, tasty though. The chicken of course was as good as advertised. Overall happy with my meal and can understand the longstanding positive reviews.

First time here and food was good! I was impressed. Parking: free in the lot Food: the chicken curry roti is a hit and nearly everyone dining in had an order. I don't eat meat but it's one of my friend's favorite dishes. I ordered flat noodles with shrimp and they were good! There was nothing left on my plate when I was done! I think it's just stir fried flat noodles but it came highly recommended and the waiter said it's their top seller. My friend had this other noodle dish ...I want to say it's Indian something but whatever it was called, she loved it! I will definitely be back and looking forward to trying something new!

We decided to be adventurous and made a trek from Johns Creek to Buford Highway to eat at Mamak, a lovely little Malaysian cafe located in Asian Square. We started with Roti Canai, a fluffy and warm pancake that is served alongside a ramekin of curry chicken and potato. It is heavenly, albeit a bit spicy for those used to eating in the watered down suburbs. We also ordered the fried wontons, which were unlike what you would typically get in a Chinese restaurant. They have a tasty filling with a crispy wrapper served alongside a sweet Thai chili sauce. They were a little greasy, but my daughter loved them. For entrees, we ordered Kari Ayam, which was an entree version of what came alongside the Roti Canai. It was flavorful, sweet, with a spiciness that lingers but bearable. This came with steamed rice. We also ordered Chow Kway Teow, with flat noodles, shrimp, squid, egg, and bean sprouts. It was tasty with a hint of spice. The seafood was fresh and cooked well. The servers are buzzing around bringing plates and clearing tables. There is no standing around here. They provide a chilled bottle of water for us to serve ourselves as needed. We like that. I would definitely return to Mamak to try some of the other offerings. It feels and tastes much more authentic than what restaurants call Malaysian out in the 'burbs.

Stopped here on a whim with some of my friends. We ordered the beef chow fun, kari vegetables, and seafood curry laska. All portions were large! We each took a container to go. The beef Chow fun was tender and delicious. Both of the curry's were a perfect mix of savory and spicy. The service was good and attentive and the facility was clean. Parking was easy which is amazing in the city!

Service is fast and very efficient. It's a small restaurant but always packed. There was 15-20 mins wait on a week night but total worth it. Food is great and price is fair. Hainanese chicken and the noodles were best seller. We ate without leaving crumbs behind.

Amazing Malaysian restaurant I've ever been to!! Service was quick and our server was kind enough to let us bring cake in for my birthday! Must get: roti, salt pepper squid, beef curry, basil chicken Come early for their hainese chicken! They were sold out by the time we got there

Last time I was here was with my daughter Christine He's got the Hainanese chicken and honey walnut shrimp to go The rice that a company was the best and the honey walnut chicken was OK only a couple of pieces of Walnut in my entire dish. But I was very disappointed in the Hainanese chicken. It's basically I think steamed chicken with different sauces. Does it really taste like chicken? I'm not sure how that can be. Probably will not order this ever again. I do want to try some of their other dishes, so will probably return.

Mamas Tofu was hands down the best dish. I was super dubious about getting it, but the sauce was SO GOOD and the tofu was so soft. The roti was also really flakey and buttery; im drooling just thinking about it! Beef rendang was disappointing, hainanese chicken was meh, I thought the okra was just okra but my friend who normally doesn't like okra liked it. They ran out of coconut rice for the nasi lemak :(

Good good, I love their curry fish fillet, a must order. Service a alright, went there at 6.30pm area was clean and pleasant.

Having moved to Chamblee recently, I started checking out all the highly rated/most-reviewed restaurants on the Buford Highway. Mamak was one of the top on that list, so I went in with very high expectations. At first, I will get the positive to neutral things out of the way. Service - Quick and efficient Ambiance - Very nice seating arrangement. They have their top dish names plastered all over the super helpful walls. Parking - Huge parking lot outside. There are many other Asian stores nearby if you want to check them out. Now to the disappointing part, the food. We ordered the following: 1. Chow Kway Teow (Shrimp flat noodles) 2. Roti Canai 3. Laksa Curry with Short Ribs 4. Vegetable Soup The Roti Canai was good! The bread was buttery and the curry was perfectly spiced. I wish they gave more of it, but for the low price, I didn't expect more. Both the Chow Kway Teow and Laksa curry were disappointing. The shrimp was a little undercooked and the noodle wasn't seasoned well. After seeing all the glowing reviews, I was expecting much more. My friend had the Laksa curry with Short Ribs. The broth was lacking flavor and the short rib was very chewy. Back to the positives, the vegetable soup was quite good! Loved the broth and found the veggies very fresh. Overall, the service and ambiance were good, but the food was disappointing.

I've heard so many great things about Mamak from a few of my friends, so I was thrilled when I was finally able to go try it! You have to start with the Roti Canai. So flavorful! I could've had two orders alone just for my lunch. For the main course, I opted for the Curry Laksa. It was hot, fresh, and extremely appetizing. I ate every last bite of it! My fiancé chose the Black Pepper Beef, which was equally as delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! Mamak is surely a great little restaurant that is packed with all sorts of yummy & bold flavors.

Bottom Line: Some dishes were good, others weren't. I feel like I wasn't able to get the full experience, I'm willing to revisit another time to give it another chance. Atmosphere: Very good lighting. Not too crowded. Can get a bit loud. Price: Very affordable, great portions for the price. Food: THE TWO DISHES I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WERE OUT WHEN WE GOT THERE! Definitely not their fault. I should have came earlier, but it was a huge personal disappointment to not be able to try their Hainanese Chicken or Preserved Egg Pork Porridge. The basil chicken was my favorite dish. It taste of the basil was very obvious and the dish as a whole was so flavorful. The Nasi Lemak was about mid tier. Decent flavor, tender meat. The curry laksa was spicy but really bland. It could've just been a bad night. Service: Our waiter was very kind and sympathetic to the unavailability of the dishes I requested. He tried to offer suggestions in place, but I didn't go for them. Our food came out in a timely manner. The only complaint we was was that my friend's appetizer came out just after all of our main courses and the waiter did not seem to be exactly on the same page as the kitchen staff as a cook brought out his appetizer only moments after our waiter said he'd take it off our bill because "they might have forgotten about it". He also said he'd give us both chicken and spare ribs for our Nasi Lemak but forgot that as well

A solid rating of 4, wish I could give it a 4.5. We have been here a few times and there are some standout dishes and others are just a 4. - The Roti Canai is out of this world good and and very reasonably priced at $5. Have to get this every time. One day we might just order three or four orders and just be happy. - The Beef Rendang is another outstanding dish. The flavors meld nicely and the fat in the beef has been rendered out. Perfect chew. - Chicken Satay is average for me and outstanding for my spouse...a solid 4. I like a tenderer satay and this one seemed to be fried. A new experience. Would order again because spouse loves it! - Fried Spring Rolls are average and the let down of all of the food. Ok, but not great. Would not order again. I would say just "filler". - Mango Shrimp - cooked perfectly but not my favorite. A solid 4 but way too bready. The mango was very crunchy and not much taste. The shrimp had no shrimpy taste that is a good thing. I think I should have ordered Mamak Walnut Shrimp next time. Service was great as always. Very pleasant attitude. The restaurant can be very busy during lunch hours. Highly recommend one try this little place out.

Absolutely loved this place!!! I've been wanting to try this spot for a while and it definitely did not disappoint! The food is insanely good - we tried the roti canai, rendang curry, curry laksa, and a couple of other items. Everything was so delicious. We wanted to try hainanese chicken but they were out of it for the day so I will definitely be back to try that! Service was okay and the server was so distracted and forgot some of our items and drinks.

Second visit from Florida to have their Laksa. Helpful hint if you want it less spicy, ask for side of chicken broth or just make sure you ask for it mild upfront. Delish! I'll be back.

Food is very good. Flavorful. Fresh. Portions are average. I wish they served their special bread (naan) as a side order. Service is unfriendly. I have been many times and will return again and again.

Always great food, great service! I love coming back here! I came back here on the Lunar New Year. They were fully packed, but service was fast! So happy to get to enjoy the hometown food without flying home.

4.5/5 We were the last ones in before closing on a Friday, they were def still busy. We went HAM (Hungry A$$ Mf) and ordered 3 thing's and appetizers with rice between 2 people. Man, that black pepper fish was fantastic. Crispy, seasoned, balanced with veggies. Not oily. Not soggy. Not heavy on veggies and no fish Their mamak tofu was pretty good. Like a heartier eggflower soup with tofu and shrimp. If you like egg drop soup, it'sa must try. The crispy noodles with fish was very good. They served it Ina bowl whereas I'm used to it being on a plate. Personally it's not my fav because the noodles get soggy faster. Very good service, lively ambiance Pro tip, want a sauce to cut thru the heavier flavors? Ask for Sambal. It's a cooked shrimp paste

Another hidden gem on Buford Highway! This restaurant takes me back my Singaporean hawker days! Roti Canai - Wow- they do this right. You can get veg and non veg versions. Char Kway Teow - so flavorful and really feels like you back in the hawker/mamak centre Laksa - way bigger than I imagined! Super tasty. They can make any noodle dish vegetarian too, which is a plus for my family. This place is a must try.

My most recent experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. I brought my friends here and recommended it as I've had a good experience before. The man standing at the front behind the register (I believe he's the manager) who's very stoic, expressionless, and short-spoken/borderline rude took out order. We asked for a vegetarian dish as one of my friends was vegetarian. He said they only had two on the menu - but they were out of one so we opted for the second one. About 30mins later, after the rest of our food was out, he walks past us and asks if we ordered the vegetarian dish (wth?!). It sounded like he never put in the order. We waited another 15-20mins and flagged him down to ask where the food was. He THEN said they were out of ingredients and out of the sauce. he shrugged and said sorry and walked away (again with?!). He was very quick to bring us our check and get us out the door. My friends were very unimpressed. This place used to be good and it's always busy and crowded. Wish they cared more about their customers. Unfortunately he's always there, so things will most likely be the same. Food is good but keep in mind the long wait time and don't expect an apology if anything goes wrong

4.7/5 Roti Canai - appetizer. It is like a thinner version of naan. The dipping sauce was flavorful as well as the bread. Nasi Lemak - got the dish with spare ribs. The menu said the dish would come with coconut rice but to be honest I couldn't taste much coconut in the rice. The spare ribs were very soft and tasty though. It came with a fried egg that just added to the dish. This was my favorite dish of the whole meal Rendang beef- this was my second favorite dish. The curry of the dish had a lot of flavor but the thing that was not great was the texture of the beef. It might be better with chicken. Char Kway Teow - the wide flat noodle dish was okay. The texture of the noodles were a little soggy and there was not many spices to the dish The inside of the restaurant is a lot nicer than it looks from the outside. The furniture is modern and the overall environment was pristine. The servers were attentive and There is a lot of parking available at the lot. However, the spots were a little confusing on where to park as there were two sets of lines per spot - either diagonally or straight so I just followed the orientation of the cars near me.

This food was delicious. The roti canai especially was unbelievably good for such a simple dish. Service was excellent. The ambiance was nothing special but clean.

I absolutely enjoyed my food here at Mamak. I think it has somewhat of a Chinese fusion as well as Malaysian but that was fine ! I got the chicken curry with potatoes and it was like a home cooked meal. So good and had a hint of kick. It's located inside Asian square so parking can be hit or miss depending on the busy nights due to many different restaurants in this plaza. They were busy which showed a great sign to me. Service was fast and food came out pretty fast as well. I would go back for sure to try more dishes

This place is always good. I don't think I've ever tried any bad item on the menu. The food is pretty consistent. This is a small business so the service can be complicated during peak times. However the service is usually pretty good. They can get very busy on weekends and especially in the evenings. Overall it's a good place for just one person or small groups. They also do to go orders so that may be a good idea if you don't want to wait for a table.

Miss Mamak! We moved and miss the Roti and the wings the most! Sticky rice is amazing as always!

I heard good things about this place, but my visit was disappointing. We ordered pretty quickly given that we were hungry and wanted to receive our food as soon as we could. Unfortunately, our two Roti Canai were given to the table next to us, and our entrees were about to be given to them as well until the waitress who took our order pointed it out. At the very least, it would have been nice to receive an apology, but we were faced with subpar service even after this. While the tables around us were checked in on, we were never asked if we needed anything or how the food was tasting. The Roti was disappointing in size for costing $5 when there are competitors that serve twice the size for a similar price. The other entrees were okay but not enough to cover up for the disappointing service. It just doesn't seem worth it to come back.

Today I went for first time to Mamak. It was a weekday mid afternoon so very slow and I could park right at the front door. I ordered three things. The roti canal, the curry wonton soup that was posted on the wall, and beef rendang. I had their roti canal at their veg restaurant and same here, it is simple but wonderful. The curry wonton soup was good with plenty of fresh bean sprouts. I would order both again! The beef rendang at $21 I also ordered as it looks like beef prices are not going lower anytime soon. I thought why wait as beef rendang can be wonderful. This one though I wouldn't call wonderful. I wouldn't order it again. 2 out of 3 though being good will definitely bring me back. I like Malaysia, and of course Malaysian food!

The food was exceptional as well as the service. I have been here so many times and tried many items. All the dishes here are good to order. From the pictures we have roti canai, black pepper beef, combo flat noodles, sambal okra, and fish curry. The roti was flaky and crispy and the curry that came with it had a good spice and was fragrant. The black pepper beef had a good peppery and Smokey flavor to it. The combo flat noodles was definitely my favorite. The sauce was thick and savory and there were lots of meat and seafood inside. The sambal okra was a fan fave and had a good spice to it and the okra was crunchy and not overcooked. The curry dish was great as well, and it came with lots of different vegetables like eggplant and green beans. The service was also fast and they check in on you a lot. I will definitely be going back and definitely recommend coming. The place is a little small and can get busy during lunch/dinner times.

Inside the humble doors, is a restaurant that brings flavor. The service was fast and efficient and I really enjoyed the casual atmosphere. The plates we ordered were curry laksa, hainanese chicken, sa char beef brisket, roti canai and crunchy tofu. The curry laksa and the roti canai curry was very flavorful, the canai being the mellower of the two and the laksa with the spicy heat. My personal favorite was the laksa from which the coconut shined in the curry, making it more succulent and savory combined with the other ingredients. The pork in the laksa fell off the bone with just a bite and was tender all the way through. The crunchy tofu was my favorite group item, savory, sweet, a little spicy, and crunchy. I highly recommend this dish. Hainanese chicken is a cultural food that I enjoy and it's simplicity is its strength. The pure flavor of the chicken combined with light soy seasoning to bring happiness to your taste buds. The ginger sauce complements this dish very well. Last but not least, the rice surprises nicely. It is definitely seasoned with some savory broth or ginger oil, I'm not sure. But it is very delicious in its own right and is not just normal white rice.

My friend who was born in Malaysia took me to Mamak, a place he had suggested several times. It stood up to his recommendation. We had some roti canai to start with. It was pretty good but nothing extraordinary. It's not really what I would suggest as "sharing" portions so gauge on your hangry level. I was going to go with the beef flat noodles but was talked into the chow kway teow. SOLID CHOICE. It was nicely charred adding a bit of crisp to the noodle and overall flavor. Not sure if it's supposed to be spicy, but it had a little heat. I'm not very familiar with Malaysian cuisine so don't take my word for it. I did enjoy everything I had though. The hainanese chicken must have been good. My buddy polished off the whole plate. :-)

Mamak is a hidden gem on buford highway! The owner was so attentive and welcoming. We went in around 1pm on a weekday and got seated right away. The food came out within 5 minutes. Roti canai- 10/10 The roti with the curry chicken potato dipping sauce was insanely flavorful and delicious. The roti was buttery and flakey and perfectly complimented the coconut curry. Chow Kway Teow- 10/10 The rice noodles with squid and shrimp was perfectly wok fried. It was so flavorful and savory. The squid and shrimp were tender and well cooked.

This place is consistently good and reasonably priced. It's good for very small groups as the space is pretty small (and chilly on a cold day!). I got the entree version of the roti kanai which comes with rice instead of roti. You can ask for the bread to be added separately. It was very flavorful and a little spicy for me - I enjoyed it. It actually lasted me two meals - good quantity of chicken and potato. Would definitely come back here to try more of the rice dishes.

A friend and I recently stopped by around lunchtime to order a few items to-go. She'd been once before, and I had heard great things about the menu and wanted to check it out. We'd placed our orders online shortly after they opened for the day, so the dining room was empty except for a couple of guys enjoying lunch and hanging out. The ambiance is very modern, warm and inviting! I really enjoyed what I ordered and I want my husband to try it out, so we'll definitely come back together to dine in. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the curryflower (cauliflower dipped in curry spices & fried) and spring rolls. My friend ordered spring rolls and sesame chicken, which she'd had previously and really enjoyed. Everything is vegan, and even though I'm not the biggest fan of chicken substitutes, I enjoyed the piece of sesame chicken that I tried from my friend's plate. The spring rolls are some of the most flavorful I've ever had, and the curryflower was incredible! Check this place out when you can!

We are regular customers because we love their salt and pepper squid, Hainan chicken and seafood rice noodles. Comparing to some famous Thai restaurants' pricey seafood dishes I.e $32, here you can have a seafood noodle dish with prawns, squid and some meat for $17. The only thing that was very disappointing was their salt and pepper chicken wings, it's a "chopped chicken wings" dish and it's overcooked so it's dried and stale. The service used to be ok, just like any ordinary Chinese restaurants in the USA if you are Asians, however, last time we were very unlucky to have a server who looked very unhappy to start his day as a waiter.

Good food. Reasonable price. Very strong flavor and mix well with rice The staff gives of the vibe they do not want you there. They also don't like picking up their phone for ordering. Place is not big. Table for 4-6 people. Larger group size will have difficulty getting seated. Service is also slow. No Wifi.

Hands down. The best Hainanese chicken (might be THE only legit one in Atlanta I feel comfortable recommending to others). But it turned out they also have very good beef curry stew and fried rice! The Roti and curry appetizer is also tasty!!
