I'm on the trail of Malaysian cuisine ATM. This place has a totally unassuming front to it. Inside…read moreit is cosy and intimate. It's not upmarket - rather a very well presented comfortable. The menu is limited to a single page of dishes - though I did go at lunch so maybe this is different at night? We ordered Rendang - which was very tender. The flavour was stronger than I liked with dark soy perhaps? But still totally delicious. My mum and son enjoyed it very much. The roti's and Curry's were excellent both in terms of value and taste. Dumplings were fresh tasting. Hawker Chicken was super yum too. $49 for 3 people including a glass of wine! Char Kway Teow was yummy too. Gobbled up by my partner when we got home.

I really enjoyed the vegetarian dish I ordered Malai Kofta. The flavour profile of the sauce was really different to the usual tomato based curries. The chicken tikka curry was a hit, the prawns too satisfied. The Fish Biryani was beautifully made, I just found the fish a little strong tasting. Everyone loved the gulab jamun to close. My Indian spiced tea was also delicious. Our waitress/owner was very gracious and lovely.

I had the lentils of the day (delicious) and my husband had chicken korma (made extra-spicy, which is hard for restaurants to get spicy enough for him). My husband reported that his two favorite Indian restaurants are here (and a place we ate at in Venice), and we've eaten a LOT of Indian food over the years. This little place is conveniently located downtown. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior; the food is lovingly prepared and downright delicious!

News of the opening of this new kid on the block spread around the Malaysian and extended…read morecommunities like wild fire. Could this be the best one yet, serving authentic and tasty Malaysian food, cooked the way good Malaysian food should be cooked? First indications were positive, so we went along, hungry and excited. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the menu looked good. We ordered the simple, but tasty basics; beef rending, chicken laksa, char koay teow. Dishes arrived - HUGE dishes ... with very small portions sitting, lost on their gigantic platters. All dishes tasted fine, though nothing special. Prices, however, are very high, too high for the fare and location. We'll either cook our own at home, which will be equally - if not, more satisfying, or eat at another of the good quality and value Malaysian restaurants.

The service was very attentive, my server let me know I could do everything via QR or order with her. I ordered a lamb curry and some roti and just because I wanted to try it I also got 1 piece of the fried chicken. It was all really good, but honestly the chicken was the best part. Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly and just a little spicy. If I ever go back here I will probably go for the fried chicken meal. I had wanted to try one of the sweet roti options for dessert, but by the time I finished the chicken, roti and most of the curry, I had no room left for more.

Here we found a new strip mall and New World market. To our surprise we also spotted this new place called Aruma Malaysian Restaurant. Mostly Malaysian hawker style meals ranging from the local favorites of Nasi Lemak or Char Kuay Teow or Roti Canai, the place was spanking new at just about a month old. We had to stop to try the Lobak and Otak Otak - both not too common here in NZ but making a showing amongst a few of the Malaysian restaurants here. The Lobak was great with a soft juicy filling and a light and crispy skin. The Otak Otak was firm and with lots of fish. Not as soft as I would have liked but good all the same. We also tried the Teh Tarik Ais. In all the ambiance was trendy and the service was great. Would definitely visit again!
