Butter Roti
Hong Kim L.

Let's take an adventure to the Greenpoint food scene says my foodie partner. We want something quiet and a more neighborhood feel. Not many Malaysian restaurants to find with quality home cooked dishes in NYC. This place grabbed our attention and how uniquely dressed the traditional dishes were. This place serves brunch to our surprise with a sorted menu. First up was the appetizers: the paratha puff and the butter roti pancake The paratha puff was flaky, crisp and inflated for us to enjoy popping up the food balloon. The cream sauce on top and blackbean dipping sauce at the bottom dressed it nicely to compliment the flavors to not make it too dry. I found myself constantly scooping the bean sauce cleaning the plate. Presentation wise and taste wise we all worshipped ourselves around this dish doing a good job peaking our interests. The butter roti pancake was thicker than your usual roti canai. You do taste the butter swirled in this pancake. Same when tasting the curry dipping sauce. The chef did well with the added experimentation to these appetizers. Main course was the Moonlight Kway Teow flat noodles. This was our favorite anticipated dish of the brunch. Zesty saucy soy sauce marinated noodles with a crunch of scallions, tiger prawn shrimps with a runny egg yolk. I love a runny egg and cleaned this portion off the plate. My partner appreciated this and of course runny eggs can be nerve wracking for some. All parts of the dish were good and mainly the texture of the noodles were done right to ensure its success. The restaurant decor was lovely and lots of emphasis on authenticity. The red velvet and light green color combination theme was a fit. Lanterns, vases, plants, and even the durian wallpaper in the bathrooms were fun to look at to add to the aesthetic. Our waitress was so mindful and brought out the dishes and drinks with perfect timing to ensure the freshness for everything. This place didn't give us a hard time for any latecomers as long as advanced communication was given. Brunch was a nice surprise and next time we should return for dinner because that oxtail course dish is enough of a reason to come back.

Amazing! Came here after we heard about them from all the food places about a new up coming fusionish place and Kelang did not disappoint! We had the rendag, roasted cabbage, hokeen noodles and their penang to share. Everything tasted flavorful but not overpowering (which I know some places do). Service was fast, efficient, without being rushed and staff were kind and friendly. Ambiance reminded me of 1980s china, reminiscent to traditional chinese house decor. Plates and dishes were those thick nearly indestructible Chinese restaurant style fitting with wooden chairs. Will be back again to try some of their other dishes!

First of all, shout out to the host who kindly answered my text when I let them know I was running 15 mins behind my reservation time, and warmly accommodated me as I rushed in-- kind of a rare extension of hospitality at a trendy nyc restaurant these days. The space was beautifully decorated and larger than I imagined it would be, with plush red booth seating and framed photos and paintings from Malaysia hanging on the walls, fringed cloth light fixtures drawing your gaze upwards towards the skylight. We were sat in the back next to the most well taken cared of fiddle leaf fig I've ever seen, and I'm on planttok. My family absolutely loves Malaysian food, as it's the closest approximation to Burmese food we can find in a city that's lacking it. It's so savory and a lot less sweet than Thai food, and less sweet is what I was conditioned to prefer. I grew up eating char kway teow, belacan green beans, and chendol, a shaved ice dessert from Nyona, an old Malaysian mainstay that used to have multiple locations in Brooklyn but now only has a standalone in Manhattan's chinatown. I was thrilled to read that the owner of this Malaysian restaurant grew up in Brooklyn eating a lot of Jamaican and Haitian food and wanted to combine some of these Caribbean flavors in their dishes. Malhaitian food is not a combo I ever imagined, but wow did they make it work. From the amazing paratha topped with an unexpected ingredient-- straciatella and topped with an actually spicy lentil sauce to the pineapple marinated charred cabbage, they really knew how to inject so much flavor into their dishes. Don't miss the chicken pot pie and char keow teow and be sure to finish the meal with their lone dessert-- a milo sundae that tastes so homemade in the best way. My only wish is for them to add cocktails to their menu. Loved the two chilled reds I tried, but I can only imagine how creative they could get with a cocktail program. Hope to see that someday!

Char Siu - A rectangular Chinese-style plate holds grilled pork ribs with a charred exterior, garnished with chopped green onions. Next to the ribs are sliced cucumbers in a yellowish sauce. The plate has a red geometric border pattern. In the background, there is a small decorative vase with flowers, a bowl of rice, and a glass of iced tea on a green tablecloth.

Came here on a rainy day and the interior was the cutest, coziest vibe ever. They nailed the decor and setup. I didn't realize they had a separate brunch menu, so make you're timing your visit if you want to try certain items you see! The char siu was an amazing dish--so juicy and tender. For sure the table stand out. I'd consider everything else flavored really simple and clean. Which I suppose is fine for brunch but when I think of Malaysian cuisine, I don't typically think of/look for simple and clean. Extremely hospitable and kind workers though. Would be interested in coming back during dinner. Would be interested to see what cocktails they can whip up once they get a liquor license too.

Paratha - A plate features a large stuffed cabbage roll topped with fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, and a sauce with small meat pieces. The dish is presented on a decorative plate with traditional Asian-style patterns, placed on a green table. In the background, part of a person's arm and a blurred restaurant setting are visible, along with utensils and other tableware.

Finally a Malaysian restaurant in the Greenpoint / Williamsburg neighborhood! Kelang is a beautiful restaurant and I loved the decor and atmosphere (beautifully designed). We ordered the roti, paratha, cha siu, hokkien mee and moonlight kway teow. The standouts were definitely the cha siu and paratha. I'm impressed with the general atmosphere but honestly no dish really stood out to me outside of the paratha. Nonetheless, I would recommend giving it a shot!

This new Malaysian restaurant in Greenpoint offers a modern twist on traditional recipes with hints of Caribbean influence. The dim lit ambiance with red lanterns and lamps and red banquettes provides a cinematic glow. Their signature dish is the delicious paratha, a flaky flatbread topped with stracciatella cheese, red lentils, and a spicy sambal oil. Another standout dish is the rendang, their smoked oxtail slow cooked in lemongrass, chili, and toasted coconut paste which goes perfectly with a side of mushroom rice. The kway teow with thick rice noodles and prawns is less memorable as it is drenched in soy sauce, which overpowers the dish. Their limited cocktail menu features light drinks like the Russian dinosaur with coconut cream that goes well with the spicy dishes. The service is attentive and the prices are very reasonable.

I loved everything and will definitely come back again. Who knew Malaysian food was so good!

The restaurant itself is beautiful. Staff is nice. Food was tasty but extremely overpriced. The 1 sliver of chicken in the roti dish was laughable. Any other restaurant I've ordered roti at has given a bowl of curry... not a spoonful that allows you to have 1 taste. Disappointed

A meat pie with a golden, flaky crust is presented on a patterned plate. The filling appears to contain meat and vegetables in a thick gravy. The pie is partially sliced, revealing the filling inside. The setting suggests a restaurant environment with a green table surface and utensils nearby.

lovely new malaysian restaurant in greenpoint! super cute and great food -- we especially liked the charred cabbage and abacus seeds ! they're still new so no alcohol and only one dessert on the menu currently (malted sundae which we weren't in the mood for this time) but sounds like lots of fun dishes in the works. will definitely be back again soon :)

See all

We ordered various meal…read moresets - I ordered a B set - a beef brisket sauce mixed noodle, crispy coconut lava ball and a kumquat drink for $20. I thought this was a pretty good deal! I got mild spiciness for the beef brisket noodle and thought that was good enough for me (I can't handle spicy). My husband got no spicy and for me that felt very bland, though he liked it. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful. The coconut lava balls were crispy on the outside and had dripping coconut sago inside. Since we had so many combo meals from B's to C's, I was also able to try out the wings, the rice cake and sausage - I liked the sausage the best. For the drinks, my favorite was the passion fruit sparkling juice. We also ordered the braised assorted meats where my favorite was the pig intestines and the dumpling in spicy oil which was also good- not very spicy. The dumplings have shrimp it in - it's not on the menu but thought you should know. I've been here previously and had the beef brisket soup noodle and it was also flavorful so no disappointments there either but must say I prefer the sauce mixed noodle more!

I've tried the fish maw soup rice noodles, and the tom yum soup noodles - both have good broth, but the tom yum was spicy and hot in temperature, so it was hard to eat it quickly. My mom tried the Chicken Fish Maw soup noodles and thought the chicken was not of the best quality, so I'd avoid that in the future. They have set meals that come with a side and drink, but those limit you to three options. I got sold on buying the gift cards to maximize spend, so I have a few more visits. I'm looking forward to trying the dry noodles because summer is just around the corner!

To start, I ordered their matcha lemonade, which was super refreshing with a well-balanced matcha flavor. We also had the cucumbers with onion dressing, and they were delicious -- the dressing paired perfectly with the crisp cucumbers. The fingerling potatoes were buttery and flavorful, and we also ordered the curry wings, which were very good. The curry flavor was subtle and paired really well with the parmesan cheese, giving them a savory depth without being overpowering. For my main, I had their steak ramen, which was a collaboration they were featuring at the time, and it's probably one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had. The broth was incredibly flavorful, the steak was cooked perfectly, the egg was beautifully seasoned, and the shoestring potatoes added such a great crunch. I'm honestly going to be dreaming about that ramen. I'd highly recommend making a reservation. This place is absolutely worth it.

It is pretty dimly lit inside and a little noisy. I got the Tokyo Classic Tonkotsu Ramen and the highlight was the noodles for me. They were perfectly chewy.

One of the best bowls of noodles I had in any part of NYC. Comparable to my top favorite shops like Maxi's Noodle House, Golden Wonton King, and Sweet Wonton House. On my most recent visit, I watched the staff make some of their plump and juicy wontons. They use such a high ratio of shrimp to pork, which makes them absolutely delicious. I can't get enough of them. With that said, their beef brisket and noodles are no slouches. That's why I got a bowl of Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodle Soup to be able to taste everything I enjoy the most here. I'll be back asap. Btw, buy the wontons frozen and enjoy them at home. I always leave with a few boxes.

You get 5 wontons in plain wonton soup. 4 with noodles. 3 in a 2 topping scenario. Yes they charge tax even paying in cash. They did not offer me tea or water. Ample sauces on table. Better than most in Manhattan Chinatown.

The portion size lined up with the cost, and more importantly, the quality delivered. Every sip of the broth and every slurp of the udon made it clear this was a thoughtfully prepared dish. I went with the niku udon on recommendation and it lived up to it. The flavor was rich and satisfying, and the quality of the meat really stood out. What really put things into perspective was visiting Raku shortly after. At a similar price point, the difference in portion, flavor, and quality of ingredients was noticeable. Muteki felt more filling and more complete as a meal. I left genuinely happy with the experience and would definitely come back to try more of their udon options.

Since they have handmade noodles, we ordered the karaage ramen and Niku udon. While the texture of the noodles were great and broth not too salty (which is good), the protein toppings were just OK. The beef in the Niku udon was overcooked so texture was springy and tough. Karaage in the ramen felt greasy and breading hard rather than crispy. Overall, the dishes were just OK for how much they costed. Staff was courteous, interior design was cool, and their bowls are beautifully shaped.
