The Malaya - Reserva de mesa

Went here for a second time with family for a small birthday dinner.Food was great, service was great.Great fusion of all Asian style dishes.It is quite focused on spice as a few dishes had chilli in it but there are plenty without.The chilli chicken wings were great for entree. And that wasn't spicy. It has a nice tingling taste and the sauce was great. And I'm not a big chilli person.We had lamb roti entree, that was quite spicy for me so it wasn't my favourite. The lamb korma was great.Salt and pepper squid was yum. It was more on the salty side which I didn't mind.Also had the chicken panang, me goring noodles and chicken san choy bau. That was yum.Cocktails were also yum. I had a crushe...

Thursday night and a group of six of us. We went for the set menu and found the dishes to be of very mixed quality. The underlying prawns in the salt and pepper dish were good, but the coating had an oddly grainy texture. No taste of crab at all in the san choi bau. The fish parcels in banana leaf were good and the beef satays the best of the starters, very tender and an excellent quantity and quality of sauce. Kapitan chicken was extremely greasy, pools of oil in the dish; the rendang was great and the Szechuan eggplant excellent - best dish of the night. So, a strangely uneven experience.Service was okay, but fairly rushed and impersonal and the wine prices very high.Overall not great valu...

Lunched here one Saturday, with family. A large restaurant, with nice harbour views. A reservation is a good idea as The Malaya was nearly full by 1.00pm. Our entrees included otek otek, satay beef, spanner crab san choy bow, and roti with curry sauce. The otek otek was excellent as was the beef, although the sauce with the satay was closer to a jam, and not a traditional satay sauce. The bow was also very tasty however the crab could have been in larger pieces for appearance and texture. The roti was good, but perhaps not as good as Chinta Ria's roti as it was not crunched, and a bit thick. Nevertheless all were very nice. The mains consisted of squid with lemongrass and chilli and the squi...

This is probably my fourth visit to this restaurant and I felt that the quality has dropped a little since my last visit 6 years ago. The hainan chicken was a disappointment. Would have elevated the dish if they had some soy sauce to go with it but the rice was nice and fragrant. The beef curry or massaman curry as they call it was tasty with chunk of tender meat. Szechuan eggplant was good as well. We also had chicken with chilli and lemongrass and this was the worse dish of the night. There was no hint of lemongrass at all in the dish. Just tasted like chicken "sambal". Would have been better if chicken was deep fried and tossed with lemongrass and chilli. I can't fault on their service. F... Reserva una mesa ahora

My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Malaya. We had an outstanding visit. The food was exceptional. We shared a shrimp appetizer and loved it. Our entrees were extremely fresh, flavorful, and yummy. Did not partake in dessert but assume it would be high quality as well.They have a nice wine selection. The location overlooking Darling Harbour is beautiful in the evening with all the lights. Our service was prompt and attentive.The cost is a little on the higher side but given all you get, it was worth it to us. If you don't mind paying for a quality dining experience, we highly recommend The Malaya. Cheers!

Visited here on a Friday night, the views are nice and the food is fresh and good quality without having to wait too long. The portions are reasonably large and fairly priced I believe. I do think the decor is lacking though - they have a prime location and good quality food however the inside reminds me of a cheap European buffet which is disappointing as I think it has so much potential and would also improve the atmosphere. The service was great and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

My Australian relatives invited me to this top class Asian restaurant. It's not cheap. But it is on Darling Harbor and has a nice view of the harbor and ships in the evenings. The food and starters were freshly prepared and of excellent quality. I liked it very much. The service was very friendly and attentive, although it was very busy. The menu offers a variety of Asian dishes. The ambience is very pleasant! I liked it very much and it tasted good.

Lovely to revisit an old favorite. We no longer live in Sydney but had enjoyed the Malaya at 2 previous locations. This new (to us) venue is delightful We enjoyed a delicious meal, great service, good wine and a lovely view. The place was full on a Wednesday night so would suggest booking. It's not a cheap night out - but you get what you pay for. We enjoyed the duck curry. Apparently same recipe since 1963. No need to change. :) Reserva una mesa ahora

I've been loyal customer for a long time. Everything about the Malaya menu is awesome. The consistency in terms of the quality and taste of the food is fabulous with a fantastic view to boot. I bring overseas and local friends here all the time and we always leave full and happy. We just love it!I'll keep coming back again... and again... as The Malaya never ever disappoints !

We were taken here by a friend who lives in Sydney,the restaurant was hidden from the harbour front by boarding as there was work being done on the front. The food was the best Malaysian food we had tasted,the service was great and at a reasonable price.
