I have been about 15-20 times since Paparich Canberra opened and have enjoyed consistently delicious food each time. The serving sizes and quality of food are quite generous for the price (as far as Canberra food prices go), and there is a wide selection. I also love the variety of drinks, and they make a nice strong [hot] milk tea. After reading some other reviews, I agree it's probably not the most family friendly place for young children and babies, as it can be quite crowded and noisy and you do need to wait in line for a table if it's busy. Food comes out one at a time, because it's just that type of restaurant - but it does come out fast. If you are looking for affordable, quick, hearty Malaysian food in a casual setting then I definitely recommend.
We are regular visitors for Sunday lunch. Great food, excellent staff and service and reasonable prices.
First time try this famous restaurant! Hainan bread with kaya jam is sooo good! Fried rice noodles taste like my favorite Canton cuisine. Love it!
Visit this place very often when in Canberra. Tried the biryani rice with beef rengdang and egg plant. Delicious meals as usual, good portions and pocket friendly. Also tried the chicken skewers with Roti. Highly recommend
This has been the venue of most of our office get togethers.The menu is extensive and has something or the other for everyone.
I like their prawn and chicken combo served with sambal and rice as well as their roti Kaya
I am a true laksa fan and I believe this is where I found the best laksa I have ever had in my life. The serving is huge, I love the texture of the dried tofu against the creamy coconut based soup. Eggplant is a favourite and I liked that too. Seafood like shrimp and mussels were huge so I definitely left with a happy belly. Total value for money.
The portion size is large enough to fill you up. The flavours are nice and mild. The decor is comfortable and its a good place to chat while eating.
We saw PappaRich so many time in Melbourne and every time wondered why there’s always queue outside! It took us a long road trip to Canberra this Easter to find the answer. We didn’t order much. Only Nasi Lemak. The taste was really good and meat was so tender. Star of the dish was prawn sambal. Quantity was good. Would definitely return there to try on other dishes.
PapaRich’s signature fried chicken wings are always a hit with us.
Their char kuay teow was always on point. Wish they could make it spicier.
Service is always prompt and serving sizes are generous.
Have been there a few times and always got good quality food. Be prepared to wait for a few minutes for lunch as it can be really busy. Over all good food and good service. I ordered some items I'm not familiar with and I didn't like but that was my mistake.
Coming here, it's always busy and full, which is heart warming and reassuring. The wait staff are generally pretty good, they get you what you want (sometimes they forget to bring you water so you'd have to ask).
Tonight we had roti with beef curry and some sweet chicken dish rice mixed with sultanas. The curry dishes never disappoint, but today's beef was a bit, and too stiff to eat (chicken curry would be better) but the roti is 👌 nice and crispy- not too sweet or salty.
Was not a fan of sultanas mixed in rice, but the chicken was fried in a way that the inside was still juicy and soft, but the skin somewhat crispy 😍. The sauce was great- unexpectedly sweet, but still good, and the spicy prawns topped it off nicely (cucumbers were a bit old though).
Plus there's a large drink selection, and I never know what to drink cos I wanna try them all. But you can't go wrong with a lychee and soda.
Overall, my experiences here have been quite well. The food is super flavoursome and sweet and salty. So if you're a person who prefers food on a plainer scale, probably not the restaurant for you.
Had a nice time when we went for lunch.
They had a cozy ambience, not too lavish but not too simple either.
We had a variety of dishes. I liked their chicken satay, especially the mild-spicy sauce that accompanied it was a treat for me. Next I had a Nasi Lemak which was both tasty and had quiet good quantity.
Overall I would recommend this place if you want to try Malaysian cuisine.
Papa Rich - Paradise for Malaysian Food in Canberra located on the ground floor of Canberra Centre! If you are looking for some great Malaysian authentic cuisine, i would highly recommend this place..
In frame - Roti Canai with Chicken Curry, Sambal Eggplant 🍆, Dried spicy Shrimp 🍤, Satay Chicken and for dessert we had - Roti bomb. Served with sugar and condensed milk..trust me it feels like heaven..😍🥰
Absolutely amazing customer service and with some yummy food 😋
Really good experience. Ordered and had my drink within 3 minutes and food within 5 mins. Food was excellent for a fast Casual eatery. $22 for a main and a fresh watermelon juice. Highly recommend this if you want a quick casual meal in Canberra.
A great place to go when you’re having a late lunch. Went around 2:30pm and everything was still available. One of the best places for Kang kung - lots of wok hey and never disappoints! Because it was a rainy day, decided to have their laksa for the first time… you definitely get your money’s worth, $15.90 for a large bowl of laksa!!! We also had the Hainan toast with condensed milk and the kaya and butter toast, super satisfying as a dessert!
PappaRich excels at their chosen style of food - quick, well-priced, and tasty Malaysian food. The menu is expansive and I love all the beverage options. The restaurant is bustling with noise and the ordering beep going off but it adds to the atmosphere. I feel like I’m in Asia whenever I dine here.
Just as expected, super quick service and delicious food. Always a great place to grab a quick feed!
