Went here recently and I can only think this place must have changed hands - no familiar faces and the food is different. The Chicken Laksa was dreadful - absolutely no flavour or spice - was insipid and seemed watery. It also had all this carrot and celery in it - see photo. I added some sambal paste but it did not help much. Sorry, but you can't just throw anything into a dish and think consumers will just accept anything.For $12 is was a rip-off.Compare this to Laksa you get at Hawker in the city (Sussex st) - same people that run Mamak. They also charge $12 for a Laksa - and the 2 dishes could not be so contrasting. Really disappointing.
The Malay in at Dee Why served authentic Malay dishes at low low prices. I reviewed it 18 months ago and gave it 5 stars. Now it's gone. The signs are still there advising opening hours and there are take away menus on the locked shutter but ...the business has closed. Such a shame the owners didn't have the courtesy to put up a sign that they were closing but it looks as if they have just walked out. Phone disconnected. Everybody loses but a terrible way to run a business. I know they had opened another café I think in the East. I wish them well and hope they treat their customers better than they have treated us at Dee Why.
We ordered the Crispy Chicken Laksa and the Mee Goreng and tea for two. Total Cost $22.00 The Laksa was excellent (but slightly too spicy for my bland taste buds) with a side serve of crispy chicken done to perfection. The ample serving of Mee Goreng was delicious and the plate licked clean. The eating area is clean and spotless, has a tissue box for your serviettes and has a shopping centre arcade feel.. OK it is in a shopping centre arcade but the food is worthy of a more sophisticated restaurant. Very enjoyable.
The crispy chicken laksa is perfect,In fact any chicken dish is cooked to perfection. Satay,curry or chicken wings.My son loves the me goring, wife the prawn laksa.$9.00 for the best laksa! Lovely staff always clean best thing to happen to dee why.Took some indo friends there and they loved it.Only fault is they dont home deliver,then again if they did id eat in malaysia every other night.

Look, if you've never tried good Malay food then I can see why some reviewers might find this interesting. However just know that you can do MUCH better. Even the chain "Papa Rich" popping up now in shopping centers has vastly superior curry. Tasty and rich. The chicken curry here is weak and thin.Very friendly staff. The roti were good.
After reading many positive reviews, I was eager to try out this restaurant. My friend and I visited on a weekday and thankfully, the line wasn't too long.
I would rate this restaurant as average or mediocre, giving it 3 stars. It is not a place I would return to unless there were special circumstances.
Extremely good food at incredibly fantastic prices! A simple eatery, conveniently situated and more importantly concentrating on the food.

This restaurant is located just around the corner from the Holiday Inn Darling Harbour. We visited after the lunch rush.
We tried the nasi goreng and the chicken curry with roti, and it was all amazing! Also very affordable.
