Samara Kitchen - Reserva de mesa

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! It was our first time experiencing authentic Indonesian cuisine, and we were extremely impressed. We ordered the Mi Goreng and Beef Rendang after getting some recommendations from the owner. The Mi Goreng was massive and incredibly flavorful — definitely the highlight of our meal. The Beef Rendang was also fantastic, with a unique taste that combined elements of spicy yet light curry with the flavors of soy sauce-braised Korean Galbijim beef.

I had a pleasant experience with the food. One dish I especially enjoyed was their nasi goreng ayam, which came in generous portions. However, I found that there wasn’t enough chicken mixed in; I had to sift through the rice to find the pieces, which were somewhat overshadowed by the rice. Despite that, it was flavorful, and you could tell it was freshly prepared.

The roti canai was mediocre; it tasted similar to frozen versions, but I did appreciate the sauce that accompanied it. I would definitely return to...

I discovered this restaurant while looking for Malaysian cuisine nearby. My go-to place in Markham is known for its Malay Thai dishes, so I decided to give this one a try.

The Pad Thai was okay, but it didn't quite match my favorite version from Markham. It was a bit too greasy for my liking and lacked the spice I usually enjoy. When I went to pay, they offered me a packet of hot sauce, which I declined, but I ended up using my own hot sauce at home.

This restaurant is a remarkable hidden gem situated in the industrial and commercial section of the city. It provides a distinctive dining experience, particularly for those yearning for Indonesian or Malay cuisine, which is rare to find elsewhere. The quality of the dishes is exceptional, and they are served with great enthusiasm by the friendly owners, all at reasonable prices. It's worth mentioning that the seating area is relatively small, so it may not be suitable for large groups or those looking for an upscale ambiance, as the environment is quite casual. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it and consider it one of the finest dining options in the city. Reserva una mesa ahora

This is a quaint restaurant run by a delightful Indonesian couple that offers amazing flavors, generous portions, and reasonable prices! It's best to order ahead or be ready to wait, as there are only four tables inside. If you don’t arrive early, you’ll need to opt for takeout. Be sure to try the following dishes: Skewers, Samara Noodles, and Samara Chicken.

This restaurant truly delivers an authentic taste of Indonesia! Whenever I feel homesick, it will definitely be my go-to place. My personal favorites are the Tahu Isi (stuffed tofu) and both the chicken and beef satay. If you get the chance, make sure to order the Martabak Manis a day ahead of time! Reserva una mesa ahora
