Too expensive for malaysian food
My visit 10th time. Good place for gathering with my family&friends. Reasonable Malaysian delicious food-Laksa, Hainan Chicken rice, Roti etc.
Love to eat Kaya bread as well.
I'm from Singapore and feel like I'm home while I'm here:) They do free charge of cake cutting service so good for celebrating bday etc.

Had a wonderful weekend lunch at PappaRich Chatswood recently. Since it's been open for a while now, there was plenty of seating in their spacious dining area. They were also happy to accommodate our little ones' pram at our table.
We ordered the Roti Canai, Chicken Laksa, and the Pappa Special Nasi Lemak with curry chicken and sambal prawns.
The roti was lovely and crispy on the outside, but light and fluffy on the inside. The dipping curries were both delicious, as was the sambal.
I had the Chicken Laksa, which was excellent; the soup was creamy and well-flavoured with the right amount of heat.
My partner really enjoyed the Nasi Lemak too.
With mains that good, we had to have dessert! I ordered the banana fritters with vanilla ice cream, and was pleasantly surprised to find 2 whole bananas on my plate with a good scoop of ice cream. The batter was crisp and light. A great finish to a great meal!
With friendly staff, a nice atmosphere and great food, I would happily recommend this restaurant.
Pappa Rich has nailed it, offering Sydney-siders quality authentic Malaysian cuisine. The array of choice on the menu is unbelievable with ALL your favourites, from your classic Roti Canai to their Fish Head Noodle Soup! It definitely is now one of my favourite go-to places whenever I am craving some chilli!
We always are on a hunt for authentic roti, and papparich didn't fail to deliver!
Food came out fresh and tasted absolutely delicious! The egg and onion roti is to die for! Chicken was cooked well and the egg noodles were flavoursome.
It's almost 2pm on a weekday, and there is still a queue for table. Didn't have to wait long, less than 10 mins. Really wanted to get my fav dish the fried fish head noodle soup, but they didn't have anymore fish head, so had to settle for the fish fillet version. The noodle soup taste pretty much the same, delicious mix of subtle tangy and salty, not fishy at all. Lots of fillets, the fish was crispy on the outside, and nicely moist inside.
Delicious food and quite a variety of options on the menu available.
Enjoyed the beef rendang, roti, and vegetarian char koay teow . Satay wasn't made very good quality meat
Really good drinks (I enjoyed the lychee)
reasonable prices for both food and drinks.
Quite loud inside
SATISFYING. I came in hungry like a beast! So I ordered roti telur ($8.90), pappa wet tan mor noodles ($13) and the naan bread ($ doesn't matter cause tasted so bad and dry like normal bread). Yes i demolished all the dishes I ordered. Personally roti telur was quite filling and very satisfying (my favourite dish). The noodles were also good but I've had better. Good experience, tho next time I think I'll just order roti here. ☺️
Amazing Malaysian comfort food, for anytime of the day.
The menu is extensive and affordable. I recommend trying their nasi lemak, with a roti on the side!
They have a 2-3 page drink menu, consisting of coffees, smoothies and milk beverages.
Re-reviewed July 2017
The high rating is almost based on laksa exclusively. Apart from CKT, I have not tried any other dishes in recent times as in previous years they have been thought to be average. CKT was strange, they don't use dark soy.
Papparich has been a staple curry and assam laksa takeaway this winter. Always thick and flavourful, sometimes we add more water on reheating to make a bit more soup! Consistent every time.
***
Highly rate the laksa here (curry, assam) thick and flavourful curry broth, strong fish broth in assam laksa 4.5/5
Roti okay 3-4/5
Other dishes (steamed chicken, curry chicken, stir fried noodles) average.

Super delicious Malaysian hawker food!
We had a good selection of dishes and drinks: Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, Nasi Kunyit Rice, Roti Canai with Three Sauces, Satay Chicken, Steamed Chicken with Chicken Rice, Tin Wat Hor, Ice Teh Tarik and Mango Mania.
Some of the dishes could have been presented a bit better, but the food is meant to be hawker fare afterall, and all of the dishes tasted great!
The fitout is clean and modern, with both tables and booths, and we appreciated being accommodated with our request to be seated away from other guests near fresh air, given the ongoing pandemic.
Decided to try the Paparich in Chatswood while taking a stroll.
Turns out it was decent Malaysian food.
We had the wan tan hor (chicken, prawns, fish cake) and it was tasty. We wiped the plate clean! Noodles had the charred taste with a generous serving of chicken fish cakes and prawns. Very different from the city Paparich which had 2 fish cakes.
The Nasi goreng special was alright. The rice was blend. Chicken however was the saving grace. It was very tender and packed with flavour. The sambal was a tint too sweet with not enough heat.
We also tried the fried fish noodle soup.
Soup was tasty, fish was fresh with crispy skin, perfect with the noodle. Soup served however could be a little bit warmer.
Teh tarik had the “tarik” bubbles which made it smooth and flavoursome.
Service was not as prompt as some other Paparich but the politeness of the waiter kinda made up for it.
All in all, it was a satisfying meal.
Ordered from the vegetarian menu. The food was so good and comforting. There was way too much rice for the small amount of curry.
We ordered drinks along with food but it was forgotten. Eventually we were handed the drinks as we left. The lychee drink was heaven.
Good place to munch Malaysian foods. The Roti Chanai and Nasi Goreng fried rice satisfied my appetite. Also, would recommend to try chicken skin fry as it's in the PapaRich highlighter menu. Overall, delicious food, decent price with a great customer service.
Pretty average Malaysian hawker fare, no wow factor but if you need a quick fix, it’ll do the job. Service was attentive! Satay was fragrant, char koay teow lacked heat, pan meen broth was starchy and need more liquid and the okra needed seasoning (it was bit bland). But the sambal belacan condiment made it all better!!!
Overall score of 76/100
A unique offering they have, which I will never get sick of (and one day come to miss if these guys ever close up shop) is the vegetarian mutton option.
Really nice tasting vego option, packed full of flavour, and a really great meat substitute!
Their Teh Tarik is also highly addictive - in our sitting, we ordered 2 each as we dined.
The roti is nicely cooked and definitely not 'frozen packet' like.
The fish noodles are OK, nothing spectacular.
Service could also be improved given somewhat apathetic expression and demeanour from wait staff.
Overall, not a bad visit.
