This outlet provided faster and more efficient service than the one in Westend. Couldn’t say food was nicer as we ordered different dishes, but we were happy with our meals: spicy salt & pepper calamari, pork, fish curry, chilli crab, and deep fried mantau. The iced brew teas were refreshing and not too sweet. Staff was very attentive and helpful.

【中国人开的马来西亚餐厅卖好吃的印度飞饼】
Roti Place
📍West End / CBD 两家分店

【香蕉飞饼】🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
一定要给满分嗷!香蕉成熟度很高所以够甜,有一个透明的档口现场制作飞饼。趁热一口咬下去酥脆感爆棚!同时又带着一点小筋道的感觉。前一晚吃过之后第二天就忽悠朋友给我再打包两份外卖给我带回家吃!!

【仪式感很强的飞饼大厦】🌟🌟🌟🌟
忘记正式名字是啥了
上菜的时候仪式感超强,全场焦点就是你!
然后需要你尴尬的在注目下拿手撕着吃..
巧克力酱还不错!还有炼乳/草莓之类的topping可以选

【新加坡炒蟹】🌟🌟
跟风点的菜 居然踩雷了
不是很喜欢下面浓浓一层酸甜酱汁的感觉
搞得整个人黏腻腻的..
配了推荐的炸馒头也没有什么感觉

【新加坡炒虾】🌟🌟🌟
新加坡系列的做法好像都差不多
下面都会铺垫上一层满满的酸甜酱汁
个人不喜欢这个风味
但是这道菜里面的虾很好吃!!
鲜嫩Q弹!全部吃光啦!

【饮品】
Ice coconut 就好啦
还会给你加两篇椰肉
同伴点的pineapple paradise
真的不是很好喝 踩雷

Love the prices and serving sizes here! The laksa and prawn mee was great and I appreciate the use of 2 different types of noodles. The place itself is quite nice and spacious from the renovation earlier this year. Would recommend this place if looking for some reliable Malaysian food in the city.

This place is just awesome! Service is really quick although it’s a busy Friday night. The flavours of the food is just spot on Malaysian. This is definitely one of the best Malaysian food joints I’ve been so far in australia. The laksa broth has just the perfect balance of coconut milk with a hint of sweetness. They are also very generous with the portions with an abundance of condiments like prawn, fish balls, fish cake, squid and chicken pieces.

Absolutely loved this place! Tucked away on a smaller street in the CBD I definitely would have to say it’s one of the best Asian eats I’ve ever had! We had their must-buy Singaporean sweet chilli crab, pandan kaya roti, and char kway teo. Very clean and neat ambience for dining too :) perfect for a casual night out!

Terrific spot for a quick lunch or dinner. Busy during usual peak times so best to get in before the rush. Satay chicken has a great kick and noodle dishes are packed with flavour.

Roti Place in the city has recently relocated to Charlotte St, replacing the old Little Singapore that was previously there. I have been to the old Roti Place years ago and it did not leave much impression on me then. However, I have heard good things about it recently and Mr and myself visited it after my doctor's appointment.

Really really love Roti Place! I had only been to their West End venue before, so this was my first time to their brand new city location. Super busy at lunch but luckily had a reservation!

I ordered their Curry Chicken Dry Noodle and their Roti Canai. The Curry Chicken... wow, so much flavour, juicy chicken, the tiniest hints of spice (for my palate anyway) and the noodles were excellent! And of course, their Roti Canai was so good too 😍

Just really love the friendly service and the wholesome food they serve here, I’ll be back again and again ❤️

I checked out The Roti place after they moved to their new place on Charlotte Street. It is now located in a cute old building which is contrasting with surroundings. I tried the seafood laksa and it was ok. I wouldn't call it a cheap eat but the portion was big. Service was alright. Would come back again.

The food is delicious. And the crab has no tools to better eat its meat. The location is good for people to eat in the city, there is a parking lot opposite the restaurant, but there is a charge, this is not to acceptable. The atmosphere is good, environment is clean.

Went here with the family for dinner on a weeknight.

We ordered:
(i) Hainanese Chicken with Rice: unfortunately lacked the depth of flavour and the soup broth was a little salty, although the chicken was tender and moist.
(ii) Sizzling Pepper Tofu with Mince: straightforward, hot and delicious; need to order accompanying side of rice.
(iii) Nasi Goreng: delicious, flavourful with a hint of heat; not sure how close to traditional it is, however it was one of my favourites for the night.
(iv) Chicken Laksa (which was Combination Laksa minus the seafood): did not have the creamy, smooth coconut undertones within the laksa broth; however very good portions of noodles and protein.

Casual ambience with plenty of indoor seating. Reasonable prices. Friendly and efficient service.

Overall, reasonably good Malaysian cuisine.

Dropped into Roti Place for a quick meal after finding out my favourite Malaysian cafe on Elizabeth Street had closed.

I was very pleasantly surprised. I had the fried combination ho-fun. Big serve, well cooked, nice ingredients. What more can you ask for!

Will definitely be back!

I will give this place a 4 based on the quality of the $11.80 Hainanese Chicken Rice, and the friendly and quick service.

For the price this tasty dish is incredible value for money, considering that food courts charge the same or more for the same dish but not as well cooked.The flavor can be customized to your taste on the traditional sauces served in a separate dish, and the soup was refreshing without being overly salty.

The chicken itself was juicy, tender, and well flavoured.The vegetable spring rolls were presented well and once again good value considering the portion size, but the filling had a mushy texture which was rather undesirable.

I would recommend diners to stay away from the Spanner Crab. The flavor and presentation were top notch but $22 is a lot to pay for a crab that's not particularly meaty (no big claws on the spanner crab). You'll most likely feel that it was not worth your money (or time) picking out the tiny bits of meat in this crab, and the energy it takes to do so makes this almost a negative-calorie exercise!

With a good variety on the menu I would be happy to come back, although will stick with the traditional breads, rice dishes, and curries on my next visit.

Had a bakut teh in this freezing winter and the taste was just perfect with a blend of soya souce and red chilli slices.

The portion was generous for the three of us (2 adults + 1 kid) and the price was satisfying given the taste and portion. Would recommend this!

I have been here as a party of two and party of four and each time I've loved it. The service is quick (within 5-10 minutes of ordering), the wait staff are always friendly and accommodating and the food is very good and reasonably priced.

The roti is superb. My partner and I have had the roti canai, roti canai with curry chicken or rendang beef and the roti cheese and have enjoyed all. We've had the Shredded Curry Chicken with Dry Noodle, Hainanese Chicken with Rice and the Satay Chicken Skewers with Rice. The heat was just right. The main dishes are quite large but the restaurant provides takeaway containers so you can take any leftovers home.

The house special drinks are very refreshing and also reasonably priced. We've tried the Icy Coconut, Exotic Lychee and Pineapple Paradise.

Highly recommend this restaurant. I can't resist coming back.

I generally shy away from Malaysian food since it just doesn't fit well with my taste buds, but they had a lovely lunch special that I couldn't pass up. I forgot, but it was around $10-12 for a lime chilli chicken dish with a drink for lunch. I expected just a shitty can of coke for the drink, which you can get, but rather their homemade house drinks were included which were like $5-6 each? Good deal and tasty. Definitely would recommend and go again!

Been here twice and ordered my favourite dish which was the seafood combination rice noodles in egg sauce. Generous portions with fresh prawns and noodles weren't overly done. Also got the 'lo bak goh', it was quite lovely as I have had starchy versions of it at other places. My friend got the mee goreng and she thoroughly enjoyed hers too. Would like to try their roti canai next time. Overall this place is the new Little Singapore (LS used to be good but not anymore imho), and hopefully Roti Place can maintain the good standard.

Quite possibly the best roti canai I've had in Australia. The chicken curry dry noodles were OK - the bok choy was mushy and the chicken was chewy - but the service was also a let down. At no time was I asked if I'd like a drink, nor told that water was actually available to help yourself (it wasn't in view of my table). I'd come back for the roti, though.

Rotis were spot on, enjoyed all 3 serves. Pleasant atmosphere, casual wait staff that were very helpful. Crab dishes while always messy were hard work to get any significant quantity of meat from, then again they were only $19.80 a meal. Would we return, yes.

Looking for a place to eat on my first night in Brisbane. Couldn't go past something I've been wanting to try for a very long time - Singaporean chilli crab 🦀. Although super messy and a bit difficult to eat it was thoroughly enjoyable if he mess on the front of my jumper is anything to go by. The service was excellent and I enjoyed people watching.

Has come here for a late lunch with a friend since he said the roti is really good here and I've decided to order the roti canai and the bread comes out fluffy and it is close to the one I had in Mamak in Sydney. This is a good place if you want to have roti.

This restaurant was a great find for me. I hardly ever venture into this part of the city and I'm so glad that I have found this place. The Hainanese chicken with rice was reasonably priced and was packed with flavour, almost like the ones I had in back in Singapore hawker centres. It was also not too greasy. The exotic lychee drink was very refreshing and sweet, and at a very good price too. I would definitely recommend coming here.

I can wash myself with a rag on a stick as I sit in the laksa broth. A giant bowl of tasty laksa filled with all sorts of unidentifiable meat like substance that the cook insist is chicken and prawns. Right, I betcha it's cats made to look like chicken or prawns.

Ducked in for some lunch during post-Christmas shopping. Loved the Roti Canai - hot flaky roti with a lovely curry sauce with a nice little kick! Also enjoyed some little prawn dumplings, a great starter. Service a bit slow, but I suspect they were understaffed for the public holiday, and the staff were still very friendly & helpful anyway. Looking forward to getting back & trying a few more dishes!

For a friday night this place wasn't as busy as I thought. Very friendly staff, ambiance is superb, only change they could make are replacing the chairs as the sit far to low and get ones that are proportionate to the tables.
Got the cheese roti and egg roti to start with and the sauce that came with the roti was the perfect amount of heat. Then the mains came, shredded curry chicken and dry noodle. YUMMO!! I asked for spicy and it then no spice, I expected it to have the same level of heat the roti sauce did but it sadly didn't. Nevertheless a great place for a meal at a great price for 2.

Wow - INCREDIBLE! From the quick, friendly and efficient service, to the crisp and minimalistic decor, to the absolutely gorgeous food - perfect! I ordered the Nasi Goreng, Bak Kuh Teh (Pork Tea) with coconut rice for my dad and Satay Chicken skewers and rice for my mum. So, so, so freaken amazing - the portion sizes were excellent and the price was better than I expected.

Will happily go here again .... and again .... and again. What a great lunch to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary! My only suggestion would be to book a table in advance - this place packs out quickly! I was able to book a table for 3 without any issues.

Highly recommend! Thank you Roti Place!

Every six months or so Broseph suggests we lunch here. And I don't mind - it's cheap and cheerful with decent food, easily served within the hour. He's a Malaysian guru and froths over the roti canai. Meanwhile I usually stick with the trusty hainanese chicken and love the icy coconut drink. Gurus/novices/siblings all unite in harmony at Roti! They've improved the process of shlepping up to the counter to order and pay these days so it's not a pain in the ass. Anyhoo see you again in another six months...

Was excited to see they've recently started serving breakfast, and got to sample some of the offerings during their free breakfast day. Tried the egg pancake roll with Chinese breadstick, Chinese butterfly bun, five spices savoury doughnut, and soy milk. Enjoyed it all! All up there are 8 food items/sets to choose from, priced between $4.90-$8.90. All sets come with milk tea or soy milk. I think this is good value for money and a unique option in town, so hope it's a keeper!

The food is delicious, great value and always reliable.

My favourite dishes are the roti, Guiness Pork and Hainan Chicken.

The roti is the best I've had in Brisbane.  Hand made, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with nice flavour.

The Hainan Chicken is the most tender and flavourful in Brisbane.  Other places have more flavourful rice or slightly better chilli, but you can never beat the chicken here.

The Guiness Pork is tender with great flavour.  I usually avoid pork as it's too dry, but Roti Place does it perfectly.

The noodles are solid, but I'd recommend the rice dishes including the Salty Fish and Chicken Fried Rice.

First time at Roti Place. Had roti, nasi lemak and mee goreng. Pretty authentic and "shiok" (for those who understand. "Shiok" kinda means awesome). Reasonable pricing considering the taste, portion and location (in the city). Would recommend this place to friends and revisit.

There is a flight of stairs up to the restaurant. There is a lift for wheelchair access (see photo). However, I'd advise not to bring your pram, or you will have to carry it up the flight of stairs. Our pram is light enough to lift up. A few high chairs are available. There is also some outdoor sitting.

I knew that this was going to be coming eventually. It was in that position, and had all the clues that it should be a choice one of these days to eat at. That was accessible, fairly affordable, East Asian (a big decider for me a lot of the time) and a populist place. Cross-overs have been proposed here, but no avail. It was just the right person at the right time. Well ... The usual arrangements to meet up with friends, one of them I contacted for the regular meeting. She proposed to go into the city this time, preferably somewhere around Charlotte street. Upon the lead up to dining here, sending the link through a message via the app I asked her if this looked good. Well, the answer was an accepting "yes" and one evening I went here to dine with her. That's basically the arrangement. Also, with how many times I passed this by and it looks popular and has been lauded, it was a matter of sooner or later that I would visit here. Basically, it was to tick off the list. And the food was decent enough, better quality than normal, and the service was pretty good.

Most of the time, you can count of a Malaysian restaurant to have a really extensive menu that spans many pages. Not this time around, as it is kept to a single page each for the food and drink. It basically has a range of the greatest hits from the Malaysian cuisine. They have a rice section and a noodle section plus one with mains for a few signature dishes - think Guinness pork, Hainanese chicken, and sambal chicken. There is also an entire section for roti, which includes a sweet variety. A more recent addition to the menu is several styles of crab being cooked. The selection is decent enough, and it has a few good guarantees for a tasty meal. For drinks, there is a bunch of beers, ciders and wines along with house specials (all of them non-alcoholic).

Starting off it was a couple of starters. I ordered a couple of scallop dumplings, and the friend went for roti canai. That latter one was the traditional bread that was served with a side of curry sauce. It is a simple concept, but one that is always really tasty. This roti was thin, soft and buttery in texture. That curry sauce on the side was thick and had a good depth of flavour.

When it came to the scallop dumpling, they were both served individually in a little bamboo case. This was a cute addition, and points go toward giving it some presentation. The dumplings themselves were good, and obviously freshly made - the scallop was plump and sweet. It was so good I got disappointed for a few seconds that this was not going to become a yum cha meal. Or that I could have eaten more, either interpretation is right.

It was then time for the mains. With my friend, she had been feeling like some beef rendang, having not had it for a while then. So that is what she ordered. As for me, the usual case is that I am having a hard time trying to decide what to order. What can usually sway me is if something is a special, or it is portrayed as one of the restaurant's specialties. Also, just going for something a bit different is something I am always willing to do. Therefore, I got one of their crab dishes. The most recommended one by the waitress was the Malaysian Kam Heong crab.

This was some decent rendang. Not the best that I have had, but far from bad. The meat was tender and the sauce did have the right consistency which being a thick gravy. What definitely could have made it better is having a marsala mixed into it, preferably one that has a lot of spices and gives a bit of burn in the mouth. Not awful, alright as a meal but I definitely am not walking away from here recommending it to someone who wants a beef rendang. Let's just put it at that.

In retrospect with the crab, what could have worked is maybe having a hammer or a cracker alongside it to break open the shell some more. Going on from there, this was a good meal. It came with not one crab, but two of them and they are around one-and-a-half pounds of meat. When you could get the meat, it was tender practically like butter. On its own, there is a mild and subtle taste and that gives way to whatever seasoning they choose to use - this time it was garlic, chilli, and shallots among other tastes and ingredients. These made a tangy and complex array of flavours, that was slightly dark, fairly sticky and what tied the whole meal together. As a garnish there was a salad on the side.

Without any doubt, I knew that trying the sweets - more so the sweet rotis. The one that was gotten was coconut. And it was not too bad; it anything from here is recommened it is to try this. Not many places without getting into Sunnybank would offer this to what I know. The coconut was done into kind of a jam-like consistency, and was sweet as well as having the characteristic flavour of coconut that I honestly find hard to describe. This was a big piece cut into at least eight to end different portions. Yummy. To drink at the end, I went with their iced tea or "Teh 'O' Ais Limon". This was the standard kind flavoured with lemon. I have gotten so used to the bottled kind that this tasted so different; with the lemon in the drink it was a little acidic as well as being refreshing.

What needs to be known is that when it comes to opinions, what one person thinks is mind-blowing could be seen as mediocre in the mind of another person. I try to be as objective as I can and play fair when I reckon that it should have credit whether given or not. That is being said because there was not much that was bad about Roti Place. Having had some time to stew on it, for what it is worth it is perfectly fine. The 4.0 comes from preferences, and I acknowledge this has been made a little less spicy and more palatable to the Western tongue. For me, I much prefer the authentic taste and love a bit of spiciness with my Malaysian cooking. I practically grew up with food such as this, so there is also that. In the end, this has food that is good quality and is certainly a reliable dining choice for the city central.

I have been to Roti Place a few times now, and the quality of the food never fails to disappoint. After a few failed attempts to enjoy a laksa over the past few weeks, I felt comfortable that ordering one from this authentic south-east asian restaurant would satisfy my cravings, and I was not wrong. The serving was so large that I was able to enjoy it for lunch the next day, and the flavour was not at all compromised. We also ordered a serve of the Roti Canai; a dish I cannot go without, and a plate of Hainanese chicken rice, which was also delicious. Nice atmosphere, prompt staff, and affordable prices make for a great casual lunch or dinner.

I was first drawn to Roti Place by its somewhat outrageous claim to have the best Hainanese chicken rice in town. The inside set-up is nice if nothing special, but the staff are attentive and service is speedy. Their speciality seems to be local spanner crabs but instead we ordered barley water, chicken rice and a laksa, all of which tasted great. For authentic chicken rice lovers, the chicken was fresh and succulent, and definitely one of the best I've had in Brisbane, but the fragrant rice lacked the full flavour and was a bit of a weak point. The laksa was generously portioned and also pretty tasty. They offer a small range of wines and beers that could pair well to the mains, but with only three options, the dessert selection is limited. All in all, Roti Place has a nice range of meals at affordable prices and is definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting some South-East Asian cuisine.

Pleased to have dinner at Roti Place. Enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a cold beer. Roti was soft and satisfying with a crunch. Satays were crisp and satisfying, drenched in a fabulous sauce.

Roti Place is a very nice surprise for any unsuspecting lover of Malaysian/Nyonya cuisine. The service is prompt, staff friendly and fit out is decent. There is a good selection of beer and an extensive menu.

I'd say that as for Nasi Lemak, it makes the grade, fresh, tasty and well done. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very authentic in my view and the roti canai is great.

What does it for me is that they do Roti Tissu which I've not seen any Malaysian restaurant in Australia do. What's more, they do it well, just like you find in Malaysia so this is very impressive indeed!!! I just hope they keep it up!

Have been to Roti Place for dinner twice now and would definitely keep recommending and bringing people there! Great food at very affordable prices, along with exceptional friendly service, makes for an enjoyable night in a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the streets of the Brisbane CBD.

Their menu consists of all the essentials of Malaysian cuisine, along with a few cheeky twists for the more adventurous. When you name your restaurant for the roti, the pressure is on to live up to that name and in that regard Roti Place absolutely does not disappoint, with their delightfully crispy-outside-chewy-inside versions of the age-old classic, available in a range of flavours including desserts. The other dishes were also simple but enjoyable, the Hainanese chicken rice is worth trying, and the spanner crabs are a steal at 19.80 for two small-ish crabs, in your choice of 3 flavours.

As a non-drinker, many are the times I've sat down in a restaurant, ordered my food and flipped over to the drinks menu, only to find that my only options are generic soft drinks and overpriced juice. Thus, it was very pleasant to see Roti Place's selection of refreshing drinks - can't go wrong with the lychee soda, or for the more brave-hearted, the cumquat lemon packs a punch!

Lastly a shout-out to the wait staff - we had a drink come which didn't taste anything like expected (they forgot to add the sugar), but when we mentioned this to the waitress, she apologised profusely, took it back and brought a new one, stayed to check that it was ok this time (it was), apologised again, and then took the drink off our bill, despite our insistence not to worry about it.

Roti Place is definitely staying on my shortlist of places to bring friends and family when in and around Brisbane City!

$20 for two crabs - how can one go wrong? you can't, and you might as well visits twice! We had the ginger and shallot sauce is very good for a chinese restaurant in the city. However, the chill crab was a little disappointing as the sauce was clearly out of a sweet chill sauce bottle. Service is quick and excellent value for money

Trying to find authentic Malaysian food has been hard but now I know where the best place to get it is! The chicken rice and the char kuey teow are my favorites and would most definitely recommend them.

Being from out of town we just walked around our hotel for somewhere that looked nice. We were so surprised at what a goldmine we had found. The food was beautiful. The flavor's in the laksa were so strong and vibrant and the coconut roti was the right amount of sweet. Not much for presentation of food. Quite simple in fact. But sitting outside on a sunny day was really nice. The staff are also very friendly and quick to serve.

I've had a few hit and misses here. There laksa was really lovely as it was packed with flavour and they were really generous with their serving size (massive!). I generally do like the roti there as well - my favorites is the planta (flavored butter) and canai (curry). The curry that accompanies it really stands on it's own and is a great dish. However on my last visit the roti planta that I ordered was just soaked in butter, there was just SO much melted butter that after awhile it is really not enjoyable. My friends roti was thicker so it absorbed the butter, but since my roti was really thin and crispy the butter didn't absorb and turned out to be drenched in melted butter. I would go again but maybe next time I might opt for the roti canai instead.

Nice atmosphere, good service and a good choice from the menu. The food was nice and tasty and the roti was freshly made (I was watching the chef actually hand make them). Overall a nice dining experience and will be back to try more!

With my most recent posts about Malaysian Food, my long absent Burger Connoisseur (yes, he's still alive) suggested that I try out Roti Place as a good go to spot for Malaysian food. We took a ten minute stroll on Thursday to try it out for lunch. Compared to Pappa Rich, it was definitely no where near as flashy or populous, but it did have a not insignificant amount of patrons, and service was still prompt.

Very authentic Malaysian food, roties seemed fresh and curry sauce was just like what you will get in penang. Satay sticks were also very good.

Delicious food with punchy flavours. The giant roti cone was thin, sweet and had a great crunchy texture. The food servings were generous and the prices were reasonable. The laksa was a particular favourite!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! THE BUTTERED ROTI WAS TO DIE FOR. I had the laksa and in my opinion, it's the best in Brisbane. highly recommended :)

Here is the place you go to for good value for money. The meal is large and very reasonably priced. While Roti place doesn't serve the best tasting dish of its kind, they are not a bad option for Malaysian food. However, I do prefer Satay Club located just a block away. If you find yourself a bit indecisive about what to eat in the city, definitely give this place a go. Nothing to lose really.

Happened to walk past this place and decided to go in for dinner. Ordered quite a few dishes to try- Hainanese Chicken Rice, Nasi Goreng and Roti Telur. The rice for the hainanese chicken seems to be lacking in flavour but the chicken was good. Both the Nasi Goreng and Roti Telur were good. The curry provided for the Roti was one of the most flavoursome curry I have tried with Roti in Brisbane. We were seated outside and had a bit of difficulty getting the attention of the waiters. Overall the food was quite good and I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Read all the reviews so came to try at lunch. Lots of seating. Ordered the chicken rice. Best in Brisbane? Maybe, its good. Its not wow. Don't expect Singaporean wow :) the amount of rice offered was small, with decent amount of chicken. Hopefully they increase the portion of rice in the future. Sauces were good.

We were very much pleased by the experience at Roti Place. Friendly waiters and welcoming vibe. A cold beer or wine available started the evening well. The Roti Canai was great and so was the Nasi Goreng with. Generous serve and value price. Just what we were looking for.

We loved dining in at the Roti Place this past week, in fact we've been back twice already (in less than a week). The customer service was outstanding and it was an altogether enjoyable experience. The menu had a wide assortment of meals to choose from and we ended up sharing many delicious dishes together. I especially enjoyed the Roti Canai Chicken Curry. The Roti was so soft and literally melts in your mouth! I also enjoyed the drinks menu especially the Lychee drink and Salted Lemonade. Every one of my 11 friends enjoyed their meals and we were even given a delicious dessert Roti on the house!! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a cheap and delicious Malaysian meal. Definitely will return sometime soon.

I tried roti Canai with curry chicken as a main. It's nice if U eat is as a entree dish. But it's a little bit overwhelming and the flavour just gets boring. And u can't continue eat this as a main. The flavour kind of builds up and then u ll just get more sick of it. But with this main dish I felt too overwhelming with it. Decent Malaysian foods tho. Good price range but their food range is pretty limited. I would come back for some other dishes tho. :)

Ended up here by chance when our first choice in the area was closed.
Tasty and pretty cheap food. The roti are the way to go. If I ordered again it would be the beef rendang roti.

What a nice surprise!! We are in love with Roti Place, was our first time trying some Malaysian food and we loved it. We've here twice already, the first week we tried the Nasi Lemak, some rotis and Mi goreng I think, while we're eating we saw this huge bowls going to different tables but we're already full.☺️ So we decided to come back and try their soup and OMG I was shocked at how good it was the Combination Laksa!! (now one of my favorite dishes) the Nasi Goreng was good too but the soup was the best. The staff is gentle and young. I really recommend this place, give it a try!! Thanks Roti Place.

Roti with curry was fabulous. I even drank the curry soup. Char Kuey Teow was tasty. There were big prawns and sea food in there. Good amount of ingredients. The table was nice and clean. Our meals came with a timely manner. Customer service was good. Will definitely come back if I visit Brisbane again. One thing not as good, the tea pot is quite small. it says it’s for a person, I got maybe 2-3 cups from it, that’s it. Other than that, all is good.

Good location in the middle of the city, parking is horrendous but it is close to Myer centre. This place definitely gives off chic Malaysian vibes. They have a good menu and definitely tasty food. It’s not the best of the best Malaysian food there is but for what they are and what it’s worth, they ticked every Malaysian box. Also, your nostrils would be met with familiar Malaysian aromatics as you enter this joint. Highly recommend the crab dishes given the price point!

What a pleasant experience; speedy service, great meals, great value, and great taste. Given it was Friday lunch time, I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of staff attending to patrons. I enjoyed Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken; yummy. Will go there again!

Great service from Hazel, who was really lovely! Food was great as usual – I especially love the sweet roti. Hazel recommended the salty egg chicken and it ended up being my favourite main.
