Super affordable price for the quantity and taste - $10 for plain rice + 3 dishes! Feels very homemade and plenty of options for everyone! Staff were also very warm and friendly. Missed having Malaysian/Singaporean food so dining here made my day :D

I was pleasantly surprised with the limited but delicious menu. Don't be put off by the barebones look of the place. The food is lovely. I had lunch of plain rice with chicken curry, beef curry and egg sambal. I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The best part? Only 10 bucks. Seriously! It's a hidden gem. I'm only cutting 1 ⭐️ because of the ambiance of the place (have to be fair) but it's really 5 ⭐️s for the food. There's no 4.5 ⭐️ here unfortunately🙂.

Good food at great prices! Totally going to be coming back here.

Home cooked food feels. Choose a few dishes to go with your rice (try the coconut rice, very yum) 4-5 vegan options available. Plenty of permutations to try! Affordable and good quality lunch food that sates and stays with you until the evening :)

A good place to come frequently, especially for UniMelb students. Great food for value - only $10 for 2 choices of meat and a veggie (egg counts as a veggie here fyi!). I heard that food here is authentic Malay style. The uncle and auntie are very nice and welcome too! Overall the $10 combo was good and just enough to keep myself from not being hungry. If you want more, extra meat costs $3.

The dishes tasted very much like home cooked food, not much oil, lean meat. I think this is a very convenient and cheap place to go for a quick lunch. If you don’t mind the not so commercial and more of home cook style, i would recommend to give this place a try. I have only tried the dishes on the hot display, yet to come back to try those dishes on the menu. The reason i didn’t give a 5 star rating is because i find that some of the dishes can be further improve without additional oil or unhealthy elements. But if you are not too fuss for a cheap meal, this is pretty good.

For only 10 bucks (rice w 2 meat, 1 veg) the portion is definitely reasonable and the food tastes good. It’s also not too salty or oily imo so it’s a great option for lunch!

Coming from Singapore this place is a little slice of home I wasn't expecting to find in Carlton! The entire restaurant feels like it was cut and pasted straight from Malaysia and walking inside makes me feel like I'm right back where I grew up. Everything tastes home-cooked and the staff are always super lovely. The Nasi Padang is by far the most legitimate I've tasted anywhere in my 4 years living in Melbourne. I wholeheartedly believe this is a business everyone should support.
