Super cosy authentic Malaysian restaurant with generous portions! My Nasi goreng dish was enough for two! Mocktails were £2.90 which is an absolute bargain, would visit again for sure.

Good was amazing with big portions (one coconut rice serves 2 unlike some places where you only get a small bowl). What was brilliant was the customer service there. The staff couldn't do enough for us and we all commented that we woild definitely return here! Nice hidden gem we highly recommend!

Had a really lovely dinner. Friendly staff and delicious food. The char kway teow was particularly tasty and took me right back to my time in Singapore.

Was our first time trying Malaysian food and they didn’t disappoint. Everything is halal and you can have the wine removed from all dishes apart from a couple of the beef dishes. The food was really tasty and reasonable prices. The staff are really nice and friendly- even though the bubble tea counter was closed, they still made us bubble teas which was really lovely of them. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again when in Edinburgh.

I ve added one star for the bubble tea - it was nice. One star food served up and cheeky enough to add 5% service charge too. The roast duck is deep fat fried and burnt. Mostly bones. Looks good restaurant on web or outside but really food is below par and overpriced.

Great friendly service, food is absolutely delicious but be warned they are big portions, the 4 of us took our leftovers home to have for dinner, great value for money.

My parents are from Malaysia and I've grown up with the best Malaysian food all my life.
The char kway teo here is amongst the very best in the UK. Hands down. I highly recommend.
