PappaRich - Malaysian Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Very nice Malaysian restaurant located in the Sylvia Park Shopping Center in Mount Wellington. Ambiance is a step above casual, but is not fancy. You are seated by a host/hostess. When you are ready to order, there is a pad and pencil at the table where you write down your order and and employee will take/submit your order. Water is self serve at the water station. You pay when you are done eating, just tell the cashier your table number. Food is really good and had good flavors. Malaysian food is kind of mesh of Asian and Indian food, so they have nice blend of spices. Price is a little high for a mall restaurant, but they do give good portions. Definitely a place to try if you are looking for good Malaysian food. read more

If you're looking for local authentic Malaysian food! This is your to go to place! With other chains around the world! Now I understand why there are so many branches! We had been to Malaysia before and because I had been craving some Malay food, we found this place to be the closest one to where we were. As we arrived, we were greeted and seated rather quickly. The server walked us through how to order and once we were done ordering we buzzed them back. Since we popped in around lunch time it was rather busy! That's how you know it's good!! The wait time for our food was a bit of a long one! But that wait was well worth it! The coconut blended drink was refreshing and the curry laksa was the perfect combination! The proportion, was huge! I almost couldn't finish what I ordered! The food was delicious and we would definitely come back for more! In the menus they also have great combos that are listed there for you to try! Just like how it would have been in Malaysia!! They also do takeaways! So if you're ever in a rush and or want to take it home to eat! There is an option! read more

The location is hard to find even with Google map. Luckily, the food is excellent! I had the chicken curry with fresh made roti. The curry sauce is very flavorful. I'm satisfied with just the sauce and roti alone. We came just before they about to close. Therefore, we didn't get a chance to order other dishes. Oh well, maybe the next time that we are back in NZ. read more

PappaRich has hit Auckland! A highly raved about Malaysian family eatery almost reminiscent of Denny's. A few days ago at a blogger's lunch, I was lucky to sample most of the menu. Ordering is easy. The menu is massive because every dish has an accompanying photo. Even kids can point and order exactly what they feel like. You fill the order yourself and push a button to get the attention of the wait staff. Excellent. As a fast paced almost ADHD person, there's no need for me to jiggle my leg while I try to flag down someone. We started off with fried chicken skin. Holy crap. On other days I would have steered right away from this heart attack, but I'm so glad the foodie in me won. We all know chicken skin is the best part of KFC chicken and it always irks me when people tear it right off. These were super addictive - crunchy and not greasy at all. The fat under the skin must have melted right off. Follow my mantra: Gym furiously, eat furiously. One of the highlights is their roti canai. There's a wide variety you can order. Ones filled with egg and onion as featured above (roti teur bawang) and sugar dusted ones (roti planta). My favourite was the roti canai with beef rendang. I put the swirl of roti to good use to mop up the sauce and beef that fell apart beautifully. Heaven. Flavours were a bit of a hit or miss. After trying their laksa and noodles with sweet sauce (above), other fried rice and noodle dishes were a little bland in comparison. The shaved ice came impressively surrounded by all kinds of toppings including grass jelly, red bean paste, lychee and sweet corn. I had been warned that sweet corn with shaved ice would be an acquired taste. Personally it didn't bother me, I had taste tested too many of my own quirky combinations in my kitchen. One dessert I'd advise you to keep to yourself is their egg sago pudding. All my favourites in a coconut base. PappaRich is in an ideal location under Skycity Cinemas as part of the Skycity Metro complex. Ideal for a quick bite in town before a movie or any other event, it's affordable and tasty. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again. read more

PappaRich is the new Malaysian to hit Auckland from the Australian chain. A heavy black folder yields a huge compendium of options, page after page of traditional Malaysian dishes. Glossy photos of most dishes take the guesswork out of ordering. You will need to write down your own order on the notepad provided which reminds me of being in a Bingo game. Press the green button to summon the staff and a uniformly dressed waiter will run over to retrieve your order. The service was not so quick considering we got there before the lunch masses. The curries come on a metal tray resembling something from in a prison but the contents were great. I could have done with a little more chicken for $14, I got 3 small pieces only. There's some impressive flakiness going on with the Roti, the billowy light pastry perfect for soaking up any sauce. The chutney had some almighty kick. I'd like to go back and try a Laksa and noodles to at least try a good cross section of the menu. read more

Trying the Seafood Laksa. Love this dish in Sydney so first time in New Zealand. It's a lot thicker and richer when it comes to broth seasonings. Lacked any veggies but a few bean sprouts, very few. Happy Chef in Sydney still rules. They also use thick noodles, close to udon noodles. It tends to splash all the broth and oil onto your clothing. If you want different noodles, it's $3 more. Sad. The seafood was Ok. Over all, it was good but not great. $17.50 for seafood laksa. read more

After running major errands in the city, I was flagging fast. I needed something quick and easy and then remembered that PappaRich had a location in the back of the Sky World complex. Remembering a friend rave about the signature fried chicken skins, the choice was made. For those unfamiliar with the chain, you are seated at a table with menus, an order card and a call button. You select your menu items, note your order on the docket and press the call button. I ordered the ubiquitous chicken skins, the curried chicken and a bandung (soy milk with rose syrup). Word to the wise - this was WAY too much food, thank goodness the restaurant provides take out containers. The fried chicken skins were very snackable but I'm not sure they were as rave-worthy as my friend led me to believe. Definitely try them for the novelty factor if it is your first time, but it wasn't a repeat for me. The bandung was a little bit too sweet for my personal taste - the rose syrup tasted very similar to a Fry's Turkish Delight bar which wasn't what I'd expected. The absolute standout for me was the curried chicken - there was a seriously spicy kick perfectly balanced out by the side of steamed bread. That bread is SO good; I can understand why the steamed bread with peanut butter is a popular choice amongst city-based students. Service is utilitarian but fast, useful if you are using this as a port of call before catching a show at one of the nearby theatres. I'll definitely be back for a pre-show peanut butter and steamed bread snack in future. read more

Papa rich lived up to the memory of dinning in multiple Papariches in Malaysia. Big servings, quick service, tasty dishes. I didn't have the caul to try the side dish of crispy chicken skins, but I have heard they are amazing. I ordered the Nasi lemak, and I would recommed this dish to newbies of Malaysian food, mixture of heat, flavour and I love the fried anchovies. The Roti was expertly made, and lots of styles to choose from. Good value $50 for 2 peps dinning in. Popular little spot, on the second floor above the food court. This place was jammed when me arrived at 6.30pm and a queue was waiting for tables as we left. read more

I ate here with my girlfriend and 3 friends. My food was nice except, as for my girlfriend and 1 of my friends ordered the dry curry egg noodles with curry chicken, which gave them both FOOD POISONING. My girlfriend suspects it was from the noodles, the texture was unusually rubbery. So be cautious if your meal contains noodles. If you do a quick Google search you will find that a few others have had this happen months ago which means they don't know or care to fix it. read more

I have been dying to try this place out ever since it was opened. Finally got a chance last night and was not disappointed! The decor of the place takes me back to Singapore and the food itself is pretty decent and has authentic flavours. The highlights were the wide range of drinks they had and also the different types of Roti!! I can't wait to go back there and try the rest of the menu out!! read more

A famous Malaysia franchise from Australia finally opened in Auckland! Extensive menu with many drink options. We had papparich chicken with flat rice noodle and a red chicken rice. The flat noodle soup is nice with chicken and prawn soup base, the chicken was abit blanc and tough..However the red chicken taste really good and not something i can find in other Malaysia restaurants. We also tried their milk tea...it's really nice! Just remember this place doesn't take bookings and it gets really busy so you can expect to wait for about 15 to 30 mins to be seated... read more

It's a Morden fast Asian food eatery, mainly from the southeastern part of Asia. Very convenient if u need a quick and clean bite before go to the shows or movies around. It's a fast food place but not a food court, has service , proper table . The price is slightly higher. But u can go with group, couple or just on your own. Very much like the fast food place in hk or Singapore etc, mid range. Food is not bad but not enough I found. read more

The food at Paparich is very good. I tried the Roti Chanai and it was excellent. The roti was crisp and just big enough to soak up the Curry chicken and side dishes. I would definitely recommend it. My partner had the Haianese chicken and it looked very juicy and tasty. I will be back read more

The Roti Canai with Curry Chicken was good, but nothing could convince me to ever again subject myself to the unbelievably terrible customer service on display at this restaurant. A few weeks ago, I went to try it out with a large group (16 people) and they refused to seat us. Apparently they wanted us to wait until there was one table available that they could seat all of us, despite being told three times by different people that we were fine being split up into two, three or even four groups. They insisted that we could not be split up, and no amount of arguing or pleading would convince them It was just unbelievable, did they want the custom or not?! The last straw, after we had been waiting 30 minutes, was when they seated a walk-in group of seven people ahead of us. We left. One of our group left feedback about that incident on their facebook page, and was eventually contacted by the restaurant, who apologised and offered some vouchers to make up for it. They never turned up, but he was contacted again by the restaurant management who told him to come back with some friends and the vouchers would be waiting at the counter. We went for lunch today. First, the staff at the restaurant had no idea about the vouchers, and we had to show the private facebook communication chain to three different staff members before they eventually produced an incorrectly addressed envelope with four $25 vouchers. No matter. So we order. The first dish comes out quickly, then the second, then a bit later for the next three, then... Nothing. The last memer of our group has been forgotten. We notice another two tables have been served the same dish he ordered before a staff member comes over, apologises, and says there has been a delay and it will be another five minutes until his dish is ready. It turns up well after everyone else has finished their meals. If it was me, and I was serving the table of the guy who complained last time, I think I'd take a little extra care, you know? So we go to pay. The total was more than $100. We try and use the vouchers, only to be told that we can't use the vouchers, we're only allowed to use one $25 voucher per visit. And we can't split the bill. They won't even take cash contributions. It's got to be one payment method for the whole thing (minus one voucher). The friend with the vouchers uses one, puts the rest on his card, because we just cannot be bothered fighting any more. They have beaten us. I'm sitting back at work right now, having participated in this farce twice, and I still can't quite believe it. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this restaurant to anyone, under any circumstances. If this were the last place to get food on earth, I would seriously consider eating one of my own limbs before thinking about going back there. They could have turned this around. They very nearly had us. The food was fine. The fact they messed up again on one oder didn't bode especially well, but we were generally happy. Until we tried to leave, and they started f**king with us again. The message, apparently, is 'Oh, you had a bad experience? Here, have four vouchers, so you can come back and be f**ked over four more times! Well, f**k you PappaRich. I will never, ever, eat at any of your franchises again. Bonus 'f**k you' moment: A glass of juice, without ice, costs $1.50 more than one with ice. Yeah, I can see how you got there, but really? Really, PappaRich? read more

Been here quite a few times since it opened and it never fails to deliver in terms of service, food and atmosphere. So much so it is a regular eating place for us when in town. It is also just how we like it....nothing too flash or expensive. Always we have found it busy but not busy enough we have had to wait for a table when entering. Love the way of ordering....write down the corresponding number to match the dish you want from menu on the paper provided, press the buzzer and the paper is taken away. Usually , in fact always have found the orders are out on table in good time. On this occasion my better half ordered the Pappa deep fried chicken skin ( as not too hungry ) and I the Hainan curry chicken chop. To wash it all down I ordered a Teh C special, she a Longan milk honey iced. As always the order came out before you knew it and sampling her order of the chicken skin I found them to be just as crispy as they should be, not undercooked nor overcooked. As for the curry chicken , which I think I had before. I'm not usually a big fan of curried anything so you won't find me in Indian restaurants and so the only time I would try a curry dish would be here.The chicken was cooked perfectly, the curry sauce delicious and all the other " elements" on the plate though basic ; egg, rice & veges; all cooked well. All in all very tasty. As for my beverage of the Teh C special. Very refreshing!. You'll never go wrong if you come here for lunch or dinner. Very much recommend read more

We stumbled on this place walking around Auckland. We ordered a spicy noodle soup, two fried noodle dishes and a vegetarian dish. The spicy noodle soup was quite good, while the fried noodle dishes were either too oily or swimming in a thin gravy. The vegetarian dish had tofu chicken stir fried with a disappointing amount of vegetables and rice. You are seated and given a menu and card. You then fill out the card by checking which items you want and then press a button on the table for the waiter to come and pick up the order from the table. The dishes come out of the kitchen as soon as they are made, so some stuff came out quickly, while others took more time. It was our first time with this type of service. Not exactly fine dining but a step up from fast food, I guess. Overall, the food was OK, but 2 of the 4 things we ordered were just acceptable, one was good and the last was meh. read more
