We started our weekend right by visiting one of the OG Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne on 12th August and we got: 🍗 Fried Chicken Nasi Lemak Served with Traditional Spice. This was one of the first meals I had when I arrived in Melbourne in 2017 and the quality is still the same! The chicken was perfectly cooked & stayed juicy, great to combine with the warm rice & sambal. Loved the crunchy touch from the fried nuts & anchovies 🤤 🍗 NL Spice Bag This was their new menu! A great portion as a grab & go snack, cooked in aromatics so it smelled sooo good when we opened the bag. The sweet & spicy sauce as dipping added another flavors layer to this savory snack. 🍔 Spicy Sambal Chicken Burger This has become Andrew’s favorite! It’s quite spicy if you’re not used to the heat 🥵 but perfect for the burger itself. The chicken had a crispy outer layer which locked the juice in. Great dish to appeal to a non-asian 😜 🍹 Cold Teh Tarik & Sirup Bandung These drinks were fresh, sweet & tasty! Great to break up the greasy food (in a good way!!) Overall, you can’t go wrong with ordering any dishes here cause they’re THAT good! The place was a bit small and it got busy so quickly so you better beat the lunch/dinner rush or come afterwards. The portion was hugeee & good for the price. We 100% recommend you to dine here ‼️

Best laksa I have had in Melbourne, no kidding. I have been on a search and mission to find the best laksa and I believe to date, I have found a winner. I had the chicken laksa, spicy. The spicy version is quite hot and I literally went through a Lipton ice tea to help me deal with the spiciness. It was amazingly delicious though. The quantity of noodles, both Hokien and rice noodles, together with bean sprouts was perfect. The chicken in the laksa was fried chicken from another dish they may serve there but it really worked. It’s been a few days since I ate there and I’m already thinking about when I can go there next. The place itself is very basic as are the table and chairs. Don’t expect a setting that is better than street food.

I got the beef rendang nasi lemak for around $19. I really enjoyed this a lot. The beef was soft and tender, and has a nice flavour to it. The rendang was actually spicy and flavourful, which I don’t find often here. The sambal was really good as well, giving the full kick of what I’m familiar with. The rice was fragrant, and mixed really well with the rendang. This place definitely tastes authentic and the portions are massive as well. I highly recommend this place if you wanna try some nasi lemak.

Delayed review but I can tell everyone this place serves one of the best Nasi Lemak. If you can take the heat than traditional sambal is the best - authentic like how you get it in Malaysia! Definitely will come again if I'm in Melbourne.

Had a great experience and very friendly staff. We ordered a Chicken Burger, a Mini Nasi Lemak and had for ourselves 3 FREE PACK OF SPICE CHIPS + RED n GREEN BELL PEPPER+ CHICKEN PIECES.....the free item was yummy!!! Love the Nasi Lemak Sambal 😋 Thank you, Nasi Lemak House for the wonderful and delicious meals.

I have been a fan of NLH since it opened in 2004 by Auntie Elena. Aline & Marcel took over from 2008 and have maintained the good quality level of their nasi lemak ever since! It is the sambal that makes their nasi lemak stand out, and whenever I crave it, I invariably end up there. This time, I went for their Spicy Sambal chicken burger. It was delicious, a generously thick juicy piece of boneless chicken, crunchy on the outside! I also sampled their new spice bag, for those who love chips and fried boneless chicken pieces. Not great for my waistline but my taste buds love it. And their own brand of Teh Tarik! Not too sweet, just the right amount of milky goodness to balance out the fragrant tea. To round out their range, they do a reasonable nasi goreng, mee goreng, char koay teow and curry laksa too.

Nasi Lemak House is a hawker-style Malaysian restaurant located in Carlton. Everything on the menu is Halal certified and under $20. The Mi Goreng serving was massive! It was quite spicy and overly saucy. I probably wouldn’t get this again it as it didn’t feel too special. What was special though, was the Spicy Sambal Chicken Burger with a big, juicy, crispy chicken Patty. I did think it needed a bigger bun and it was very messy to eat. Everything is takeaway only which was a little suprise to us considering their photos on the ‘gram showed otherwise. Would return for the burger or to try a different dish - takeaway. ⭐️ 3.3/5 💸 $$

Char kuey teow was okie although a lil bit salty for me. For nasi lemak , the rice was good but I wish the fried chicken would be crispy 🥹 and spicer sambal ehee
