We dined at Omah's and found it to be a lovely little find in the quiet end of Port Melbourne. The menu looks reasonably priced and was quite surprised that the food was great quality. The chef must have gone easy on the seasoning but still great food. We had the mixed entree, curry plate consisting of 3 curries and Omah's duck. All were good and you have a sense that this is the refined Malaysian fare! Service was attentive and the drinks were delicious, especially the "Mimi Crush" - a must try. The restaurant was labelled with signs as "Opah's" outside but menus and fittings inside showed "Omah's". Will be back to try more dishes (Fried Kway Teow $13 -- pretty good!), actually a good price point given the quality of ingredients and service despite a no doggy bag policy : (

Approximate cost: $25

We had 3 different taste crabs (the signature dish) from Omah and they were okay. the Salted egg one was the best. However, it is way too expensive ($46 each crab). Other dishes were very disappointing. not so yummy with minimal quantity. We (a group of 8 average adults) spent $400 at the restaurant without the wine and needed to go to KFC to feed ourselves afterwards.
There are much better Malay food....in terms of quality and quantity.

Approximate cost: $20

Good dishes except for one that didn't arrive till all the rest on the table had finished their meal. When it did arrive it was very disappointing. Service was very poor when asked what was happening with the missing dish. Waiter just disappeared and didn't follow up. Had to get someone else's attention to find out what was happening.

Authentic Malaysian in Port Melbourne? In a street off the main shopping strip in Port Melbourne, there's a small, comfortable restaurant where you can get authentic, high quality Malaysian dishes and enjoy a glass of wine to go with each dish from an extensive wine menu. Entrees such as Lobak and Curry Puffs are authentic and well presented and main dishes such as Rendang and Belacan Spinach. Order coconut rice to go with these two dishes alone and you're back in Malaysia having dinner with the family at home. The decor of the store represents an old style coffee shop in Malaysia with timber tables and chairs in black and bird cages on the roof (which contain the lighting). Al fresco dining is available in Summer with the front windows of the store being able to be fully opened and tables put out onto the sidewalk. Seafood is fresh and tasty - Coconut prawns are highly recommended. In terms of value, the pricing of the dishes are fair however given the location the pricing also reflects the place. Service is brisk and unobtrusive however when busy it can be hard to grab the attention of a waiter/waitress.

Approximate cost: $25-30
