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 thereās always queue outside! It took us a long road trip to Canberra this Easter to find the answer. We didnāt 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.
PapaRichās 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 š 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 š. 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.
So let's start with the obvious: PappaRixh is a chain restaurant and there are plenty of them right across Australia (and other countries). Fortunately, that's for a good reason.
The restaurant was bustling after work on Friday night. After queuing for 5 minutes, we were seated. The ordering system is quite efficient, but don't expect much assistance in navigating the menu. That being said, ordering is simple enough.
The Beef Rendang with Roti Bawang was excellent. Hot and soft roti served with a fiery, flavoursome rendang, with accompaniments. To be honest, I was expecting a slightly larger serve, but the size was certainly reasonable.
The Teh Tarik was also reasonable enough, but not a standout.
Overall, PappaRich offered good value for money, quick service and a fast, tasty meal. I would return for a quick, casual meal.
The food is really good, the prices are great and the service is really quick, their doorbell system for each table works really well, will definitely be returning.
Today you are going to get an extra special treat. We are going to discuss a favourite food haunt and get not one, but two copycat recipes. Amazeballs right? Letās get into it. Pappa Rich is a chain Malaysian restaurant located everywhere in Australia and New Zealand. There is a reason it is so extensive, for fast food they offer some really interesting choices on theirĀ menu. They also have a very efficient concept where you select your food, write it on an order form and ring the bell so they will collect it. This means no faffing around waiting for service. You choose food, they cook food, food is delivered at maximum speed. This I love. I hate waiting for food because I am always staaaarving.
On the ground floor of Canberra centre in Civic, this branch is packed with people at all times. Service is attentive and super efficient. The nasi lemak is great, the roti telur bawang divine (especially with the beef rendang or the chicken curry). I usually have a lychee soda to finish off the meal. Great value for money for good food. Recommended!
Quick fix for Malaysian food craving but sometimes too long of a queue. Quick and efficient services. Flavour combination screams Malaysian loudly. I've tried a few options on their drink list and haven't come across any disappointment yet.
We come here for some Malaysian food from time to time. Our favourite dishes hands down are the fried chicken skin and the chicken congee! The ordering style by writing codes on a piece of paper is great as it is quick and reduces possibility of errors. Most of the dishes offered are of good quality, but without much "wow" factor. Given there's not much competition in Canberra, it's still a go to place for us. The worst thing is they place a surcharge on credit AND debit card payments. Pappa Rich, surely you are already making enough profits to spare your customers from this "sour tasting" policy.

I havenāt been to PappaRich in years, but on a chilly day I stopped by on a whim for lunch. It took a while for me to attract attention to order, but when I did, went for the Roti Canai with Tandoori Chicken ($15.90), plus a lychee soda ($4.90). The lychee soda came out first in a huge glass with a few whole lychees inside. This is quite a sweet drink, with refreshing lime and a nice fizz to it. The roti arrived shortly after, with a reasonable-sized portion of chicken, the roti itself, and two dipping sauces ā one a spicy sort of chutney, the other a cooling raita. Let me say, the roti is to die for. Soft, fluffy and easy to break apart, this was a pure delight to
PappaRich is conveniently located in the Canberra Centre and is good value for yummy Malaysian food and quick service! The satay was delicious and they have heaps of different drink to try. We also had the sago pudding for dessert and that was really yummy! Oh and they also have fried chicken skin.... #treatyoself
I ordered Ipoh kuay teow soup with steam chicken. They use the chicken breast, doesn't taste as good as chicken leg. The soup is salted but satay chicken is really good.
A good place for quick lunch. The chicken here is very tender and nice. I also like the rice with coconut milk here. By the way, try the beverage here!

Still my favorite Malaysian place to eat.
I love the fact this place eats like I'm in Malaysia, there's no political correctness at work here. It is what it is and I love that.
Food is incredibly well priced and service is fast and efficient, throw in the great food and this place wins hands down
Had Nasi lemak which had only a pinch of sambal. Coconut rice which had no coconut taste. Sambal tasted awful as well. Teh Tarik was yuck.
Wouldn't go back for Malaysian food. Would rather pay for a flight back to kl to eat something more authentic. But i suppose for canberra's standard of Malaysian food, must be pretty ok cos it's pretty crowded..
Update: went back again after 2 years and surprise surprise!! The Nasi lemak has improved!! Better rice quality and better sambal. Seems that they must have changed chefs..
Amazing food... The roti canai is to die for and the curries are perfectly cooked as well. The drinks are to die for and the experience is incomplete without ordering one. Very reasonable pricing with consistent good quality food
PappaRich is part of a chain of restaurants which offer Malaysian style food.Ā The one in Canberra is usually very busy at lunch time and has the odd honour of being one of the few restaurants which will not seat anyone if they are waiting for someone toĀ arrive. The menu is outside so you can determine if there is anything that appeals to your taste and includes a wide range of noodles, satays, rice and bread dishes including eggs and bread.Ā Some of the drinks include Teh Tarik (hot milk tea) and Kopi O (strong black coffee with sugar).
Great laksa and curry, nice fast service. My regular lunch spot. Try the roti with egg and red onion, it it amazing. My favourite drink is the iced coconut and lychee.
Delicious food and beverages :). Good service and yummy food!
Authentic and delicious food - no wonder this place was full everytime we walked past. Beef rendang and roti was so good!
Good value and lots of enticements on the picture menu. Suitable for a cheap eat and families. Don't go if your looking for great attentive service. It's about order up and quick turnover!
Cheap and satisfying. Papa Rich is a great place to visit if youāre looking for something cheap or on the go. Itās not a 5 star experience but the food is really tasty and generous given the price and the staff a very polite and friendly. My partner and I ordered 4 dishes and it was far too much for the two of us. If youāre a family with kids I imagine this would be a great little place to go. A downside for some may be that they donāt serve alcohol or well recognised branded drinks but that didnāt bother us. Give it a go!
First time eating at PappaRich on my wife's recommendation. The food was authentic and extremely tasty. Service was prompt (perhaps a little too fast and delivery of meals not very well timed between me and my lunch partner). Besides this, I would definitely go back, a hidden treasure in Canberra Centre.
Good so far. I've eaten here twice and have had the combination noodles both times - while that might be boring, I went back for seconds because it's a really, really good dish. The chicken satay I had the first time was good. The roti, maybe I'm not that familiar with Malaysian roti, I just found it a bit sweet at Papparich. But all good for the very cheap price!
Delicious food, drinks and desserts!. Been there twice, all the dishes I've tried there are really good, including the drinks. The ones I still remember standing out are roti and egg sago pudding (in the dessert section). It's a long wait for tables (esp for big group) during peak hours, so try to come early before the rush of people starts pouring in.
Not bad. There's still a long wait for a table, especially if you are going as a group. However, I'd go back again because it's good standard Malaysian food.
Yurrmy. The food is great for its price! ahh the bread and roti was so good, and the chicken were tender and soft. I like the service system too, just ring if you need them! its best to go super early because the place is alway packed
Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. This is pretty good fare for what it is essentially Malaysian fast food. Satisfies as a no-fuss, quick and easy meal. The ordering system is efficient and easy with order sheets and a call button, and the menu choice is extensive, particularly in relation to drinks. Just don't expect the food to blow your mind and you will walk away a happy chappy
Yummy. This place is all about asian food done authetically,sort of reminds me of sydney china town foodcourts. No wonder most of the customers are asian. For a franchise its surprisingly really good tasting food at great prices too. Its definetly giving the asian noodle house a run for its money. Service and vibe is lacking, but hey, no restaurant can manage the trifecta of , cheap, tasty, service/vibe.
Its a mad house of a restaurant. super buisy. Theres this door bell that keeps ringing. Doesnt help that every table has the button for it.
Overall a breath of fresh air to the canberra dining scene. No hipsters allowed thank god.
We were visiting Canberra and had dinner with our kids. We loved it! Great price and awesome food. Only had to wait 5 minutes and the staff were very friendly.
Good Malaysian Food but expect a long queue and poor service. This is your typical Asian restaurant when you see a long queue you expect good and value for money food. You are there for just for the food and you know you would get terrible service.
We have been there 3 times in 2 weeks and food the wonderful and authentic and value for money (especially for Canberra pricy food standard). You also get good Asian style drinks and desserts.
Tips to avoid queue, arrive early or late, make sure all your companions are there, or simply get takeaway and go to food court upstairs or across the road at Supa Barn and have your beautiful Malaysian food in spacious food court area.
Chicken rice and nasi lemak. The chicken rice and nasi lemak are pretty decent for canberra's standards. Prices are very reasonable as well. Their drinks are quite authentic as well. Try the iced coffee and iced tea.
Bit of waiting time. They could improve a bit more. Food is great! Worth trying.
The restaurant is actually a Malaysian chain and the interesting ordering system is apparently quite common over in Malaysia. You fill out a pad with the dish numbers from the extensive menu (donāt forget the ā0ā in a number or they get very confused [eg. C4 instead of C04]). Then you press a little buzzer, your table number flashes up on a screen near the entrance, and they come grab your sheet within seconds. Ordering pad and table buzzer [I'm sorry to say I didn't take note of the prices because I thought the menu was available online. It is, but it doesn't include prices. The following pr
I ordered the dry curry egg noodle with steamed chicken ($12.90). Initially, the waitress had forgotten to provide me with curry sauce and this came out a minute later in the little sauce bowl. I was disappointed by that as the dish is described as being a curry egg noodle so I assumed (incorrectly) that the noodles would be mixed with and sitting in a curry sauce.
PappaRich , a Malaysian restaurant chain, now has an outlet in Canberra. Yum. I've been there a couple of times now and enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is a little reminiscent of a hawker centre. Last week I treated a friend to lunch for her birthday ...
Another week and another new restaurant opens in Canberra (or #CBR as we should all now be referring to our city)! PappaRich is actually a big Malaysian chain; first opened in Malaysia in 2005, they now have over 70 outlets all over the world from South East Asia to Australia.Ā I wouldn't generally bother blogging about chain restaurants of this magnitude but Malaysian food is my absolute favourite cuisine in the world and I think there is a serious gap in the market in Canberra when it come to decent Malaysian food. So with this in mind and with a serious craving for a decent Roti Canai, Nik and I went to checkout PapaRich on the first weekend they opened for business.Ā Having been to Malaysia MANY times over the last 10 years of my life and having dined at many grotty street side mamak stalls with the most amazing food known to mankind, I have very high standards when it comes to Malaysian cuisine. Not that I was expecting PapaRich to compare to the authentic street side thing, but I

After hearing about complaints that I went to PappaRich without certain people, off we went together to play the āline rideā to eat Malaysian food after their official opening (see my previous visit before they officially opened here).
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 š, Dried spicy Shrimp š¤, Satay Chicken and for dessert we had - Roti bomb. Served with sugar and condensed milk..trust me it feels like heaven..šš„°
Absolutely amazing customer service and with some yummy food š
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 youāre 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 timeā¦ you definitely get your moneyās 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 Iām in Asia whenever I dine here.
Just as expected, super quick service and delicious food. Always a great place to grab a quick feed!
