Mamak has o be my favourite restaurant in Sydney. It is affordable and delicious. You must try the roti canai (orignial roti) as it comes with beautiful dipping sauce. I would also recommend the beef or chicken skewers as the nutty satay sauce is amazing and comes with chunks of cucumber and onion. Also try the chicken curry (kari ayam)- it's a real winner! Apart from the wait, the service is amazing and staff are efficient. For dessert- get the ice cream with the roti cone (sorry forgot the name) its amazing! Mamak also tends to be quite spicy so order a drink!

If you want to eat at this place, be prepared to wait. Doesn't matter what time of the day, or whether its weekday or weekend, there's always queues in front of this shop. It's my must go to place when I am in sydney. The roti canai is heaven, and cheap too. Goes great with kari ayam or kari kambing. And oh, do order teh tarik with that too. YUM

Approximate cost: $16

I'm trying this place out on Wed. We liked the Chatswood one. I hope they're as good as the one in chatswood.

I've never tried the one at Chatswood, hope the one in the city will be as good. Enjoy :)

the food is nice, but really spicy. My stomach don't feel good after eating it. And it is always crowded and you need to spend at least 15 mins to wait for a table

Approximate cost: $12

For a popular restaurant, 15 mins is nothing

outstanding restaurant with very high quality Malaysian cuisine. the cost is decent and not overprices and the service is relatively good. however the only downside is the waiting to get into the restaurant. during dinner hours the wait is about 1 hour and it is definitely not going to get any shorter

Approximate cost: $12

Mamak is yummy! The roti chennai with accompanying curry sauces are really good. The service is really fast, you order one minute and the next minute your meals are in front of you. It is a really busy place though and you generally have to line up for a while unless you come the second it opens.

Great venue for a quick tasty meal. Joined the lunch time queue a enjoyed watching the Roti making for 10 minutes before being seated by a beautiful young waitress. The service was swift and friendly although a mix up with desert caused an extended delay. The portions were generous and delightfully spicy. The prices are really cheap.

Not usually a malaysian food fan but this place just gets it right. Although they don't have a wide selection of food, each item i've sampled has exceeded my expectations. Bare in mind though there is a lofty wait for tables/

I don't like the fact that they don't take booking .But other than that i love their Roti. Nice place to go for lunch but dinner is too crowed. Will go only if I don't have to queue for more than 15 mins.

Malaysian restaurant with such a long queue. Need to get there early. Friendly service and great food. Try the roti canai.
