Amazing and very authentic indo/Malay food in a lovely coat setting. Would highly recommend and it has lots of gluten free options for those who require it
The only issue I have with this lovely place is choosing from the delicious menu š¤ The food is consistently amazing and full of flavour and the staff are so helpful and lovely.
Amazing special Mr Chengās spring rolls. Best I have ever eaten. Definitely recommend.
Beautiful lunch today. Delicious food and great service and ice cold beer.
Stumbled upon this great little restaurant on Saturday night while looking for a meal. Food was sensational and would definitely return if we get back to Canberra

Hubby and I LOVE this little eatery! We had dinner here after our wedding rehearsal in 2010 and have been back for our Anniversary Dinner every year since. The food is ALWAYS amazing!
a great restaurant with fantastic food. a definite favourite when in Canberra and highly recommended.
We had lunch here today and it was fantastic! Delicious fresh food with generous servings and excellent service! I think it will become a favourite with us.
Crispy duck, sayur sayuran and chicken laksa were divine. Food came out super quick and service was pleasant despite being absolutely packed. Not cheap though - bordered on being āspecial occasionā prices!
It's been a few years since I was last here for laksa. Tonight I realised Abell's has kept the laksa standard high! Spicy, rich, coconuty broth with rice noodles and lovely seafood. Very delicious indeed. Best laksa I've had in Canberra...to date!
Lovely atmosphere at Abell's as we sat outside, lady owner was really friendly and other waiters/waitresses were prompt in serving us. Food was nice but not the best I have had.
Really good authentic food (the Balti Chicken was amazing) and professional staff. The ambience could be improved slightly but otherwise very impressed.
4.0 because of the fantastically good beef rendang and wok hei for the char just teow. The laksa we ordered needed a sambal kick. But overall, good...
Absolutely amazing. Some of the best food I've ever eaten, particularly the Beef Rendang and curry puffs. You can see why it comes so highly recommended as a Canberra must-do restaurant.
Really good authentic tasting Malaysian food! The service was quick and friendly. We had the curry puffs (amazingly flaky!), chicken satay, lamb curry and chicken curry. The roti was very flaky and delicious also! Not expensive and good size serves...we'll be back!!
Outstanding asian food! The curries are all so flavourful and the twice cooked crispy duck is my favourite. Service is also exceptional. Canberra's best!
I woke up one freezing Canberra morning and decided I'd find the best laksa place in town. Abel's Kopi Tiam. The best laksa in Canberra! And it's no joke!
Loved the Blankets... Dined there last night on recommendation from friends who were visiting Canberra a few months ago.We had not booked so were very lucky to get a table,the place was packed and was just after 6pm.We were found a table outside under the heaters which was nice although I noticed each chair had a lovely cosy blanket draped over the back...Nice touch.
We took our own wine as noticed it was a BYO.We orders our food of Vegetarian spring rolls,Balinese Chicken curry and Twice cooked crispy duck with steamed rice.Our meals arrived in next to no time and they were a good serve. I Duck and Chicken looked amazing so me n hubby decided to share.Amazing tasty food and nice and hot.Really loved this place and recommend lovely food and reasonably priced.The only downfall we thought was the $8.50 corkage fee...Rather steep for the to supply two glasses plus wine doesn't have corks anymore,!!!!
Just had dinner here with family. Very good quality food and lovely service. Had the duck rice paper rolls, duck curry, pork and tofu curry and vege/tofu curry. All very tasty. Desserts (sago and fried banana) also great. Very busy and a little noisy but overall very good.
Tasty Malaysian food. This place is always packed no matter what night of the week it is. It's quite a small restaurant so a bit tight inside and loud. The food is pricey (for malaysian food) but lovely. The seafood laksa was delicious and very spicey. The twice cooked crispy duck was amazing in the ginger plum sauce. The waitstaff are attentive and friendly. I would definitely go back!
Loved the Char Koay Teow. I was in a hurry between commitments and decided to try a takeaway
char koay teow. It was beautifully tasty, with enough kick to uplift the palate. I am used to thinner rice noodles but that did not matter - the prawns, egg and greens blended well into an essential wok heat dish. The nice lady was also generous with proving me two types of chills - fresh cuts and a condiment. The place was crowded on a Sunday evening and exemplified what makes Manuka so attractive a dining spot.
Went on Friday night food was fantastic & staff were just perfect. It was a great experience if ever in Canberra would be back for sure.
Solid performer on the Canberra dining scene that almost lives up to the hype. The duck dish and zuchinni flowers are wonderful but there are some misses, the soy pork dish in particular. Friendly service but always busy so booking is a must. Downside are the unjustifiably expensive prices, but this is a Canberra issue in general. A nice dinner out but pricey for what it is.
Excellent roti. Great food at Kopi Tiam. Cannot get enough of their beef rendang or roti. The only strange thing is that not all wait staff will take orders? Bizarre but still worth it.
Big fan. Have always enjoyed this place. Service and food are both good. My only criticism would be that sometimes the serve sizes are a little too small.
Abell's Kopi Tiam is located in the 'restaurant precinct' of Manuka (although I must say, there isn't much else in Manuka) and doesn't look very fancy. The decor and set up is simple, albeit a little on the cramped side. But we can't really fault them for wanting to accommodate more customers.
My husband and I were introduced to Kopi Tiam several years ago by friends who used to live in Canberra but now live in Sydney. This Malaysian restaurant has become a rendezvous favourite whenever our friends return to Canberra for a visit and it is no surprise why. The menu is enticing and the food always fresh and delicious. The staff are attentive and friendly. The restaurant is cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating and in winter outdoor shelter and heating are provided. Highly recommend for a delicious, healthy meal and the banquet option is great valueā£ļøš„¢
Most authentic M'sian/S'porean kopi and teh with condensed milk that we've had in Cbr, and the empty mugs say it all. Great service and taste for their other dishes too.
Friendly service with fantastic dishes that are full of flavour and well balanced. Staff keep an eye on your tea and rice levels and promptly ask you if you'd like refills. Lots to try and be tantalised about. Worth repeat dining.
Great Malaysian food and nice service. Went with friends who love the place - easy to see why. Excellent rendang. (Only dish of 6 we ordered that was less than great was Char Kway Teow which didnāt have that street food super hot wok taste, other dishes really good. Lung and Snow peas - a special, also really delicious. Highly recommended and we will go again when in Canberra.
Unbelievable. Loved all dishes I tried. Highly recommend the Mr Chen's Pork and Mushroom spring rolls with a beautiful sweet soy sauce. The Beef and Potato Curry Puffs and the Nasi Goreng and Roti were cooked to perfection and delicious. Highly recommend this place!
Abells is a gem for delicious and tasty Malaysian food. Iāve ordered several times here and the food is consistently delicious and quick. Customer service is friendly and wholesome - I think it might be a family run business.
The char kway teow is a must try and the mushroom tofu soup is super tasty! Highly recommend
