Chili crab was yummy. You can choose different sizes of the crabs. 700g, 800g,1500gš. Coconut
Prawns also very good. Crabs can choose different flavours too, but $96/kg is a bit too expensive.
The best chilli crabs out there. Salted egg crabs...could use more sauce.
2nd time here, this time for my girlfriend's birthday dinner. Chilli crabs were probably better than most I've had in Singapore, but salted egg needs more sauce.
Plus they need fried buns to dip into the sauce. Would rate higher once these are fixed ;-)
Will be waiting team!
Ordered chili crab 0.95kg, beef rendang and kangkung with belacan. The taste of the chili crab sauce was about 75% there, not bad for Melbourne. However the crab we had was watery, thin meat or "hollow" crab. As we only came for crab we were rather disappointed. Beef rendang was a little sweet for my taste, although the meat was really tender. The staffs were kind enough to offer a free omelette that came with the crab and a discount for the watery crab. Overall it was still an above average Malaysian meal. If the crab meat was firm, the experience would be worth raving about. Keep it up omah.
Our friend recommend us to try crabs in Omah's Malaysian restaurant. It was really delicious foods we had today!
We order 1 chilli crab, 1 salted egg crab, 1 coconut prawn, 1 belecan Kangkong & 1 Roti bread. I have to tell everyone, this is the best crabs we have in Melbourne. So tasty, very close what we have in Singapore chilli crab. The roti tastes so nice with chilli sauce. It is just wonderful. The staffs are nice and friendly, we all very happy with what they recommend the foods for us. We love Omah's. We will definitely come back again.
One small thing, when we left, the staff asked if we needed to take away the chilli sauce or not, we said why not. So sweet.
This is my second time coming to this place this week because I purchased a groupon deal for four persons . We specially like their pork hock under the great groupon deal as well as their chilli crab and the unforgettable signature - SALTED EGG CRAB(highly recommended!) that I first tried at Omahs restaurant,so tasty and fulfilling!.
Othet than that, the surrounding is cosy,clean and classy, it is a great place for you to chit chat and gathering with friends. Besides, the staffs made us feel welcome by providing us well timed service. Will definitely be dining here again!
It was my friend"s birthday so we went to Omah"s for mud crabs. We told them that we were having a birthday dinner so the staff even played several birthday songs for us . The restaurant"s interior design was cosy, clean and the service was as excellence as always . The girls were polite , friendly and attendant. The food was nice as well . We ordered crabs as in Melbourne as there are only a few restaurants which we could grab for fresh one and they are only Malaysian restaurant that offer different flavour of crabs so we ended up ordering salted egg crab and a chilli crab. The crab were fresh and enough for five of us to share. A good place to hang out for dinners. We will come back again .
Excellent Malaysian cuisine in Hawthorn - and probably one of the better joints serving Malaysian food in Melbourne. Do yourself a big favour and order at least one crab - they are finger licking good. Ambience is great - I love the seating near the window and the staff are friendly and fluent in both English and Mandarin (mostly). I also absolutely love the ikan bakar, which I am guessing by taste is a sort of assam/sambal belachan mix on fish with okra and tomatoes. Very, very delicious.
DO: The crabs. Any of them. Whether it be pepper, chilli or my favourite salted egg.Ā
DON'T: Do anything else. Only come here for the crabs. Like KFC, why would you order anything else but the chicken haha.Ā
TIP: Takes bookings so I highly recommend. Also, nice wide aisles so that it's pram friendly.
Tried this place after researching on Zomato. Nice ambience and good location, never had Malaysian food like this before but enjoyed something different. Would definitely recommend this to any Malaysian cuisine lovers to give it a try, worth it.

Fantastic crustaceans enjoyed by 5 gals - eating with all 10 hands!
Fragrant, fresh and delicious as we tried crab cooked several ways.
Be sure to allow yourselves time to find car parking space if you want to get to your booking on time.
this is a family favourite of mine. especially since it is close to us, we regularly visit here. the chilli crab is to die for, so delicious. love all the noodles especially the mee goreng. butter chicken and red duck curry is also very yummy. i would like to see an increase in the portions of dishes though. prices might be little expensive but the restaurant is so clean and well designed and the employees are very patient and helpful. totally worth it :)
Came here for the Monday crab special.
Quite happy with the chili crab and special, only downside is we asked if it was spicy stating that we couldn't eat spice at all and they said they could make it non spicy, however it was still spicy.
Also they need mantao bread!!! Would come back.
Nice and clean restaurant, good service! The seafood, especially crab and prawn, of this restaurant are so fresh, and never let me down. The curry is not that strong like some india food, just the right amount to feel the taste of food itself.
Highly recommend this restaurant. The chili crab was amazing~~! Crab meat tasted so great, and I had noticed that the crab were alive and fresh at the back kitchen, furthermore, that one thing made it awesome was becuz its sauce,,,delicious! especially when you served with noodles.. I hadn't finished the sauce so I took it home.
Lemon Chicken was also great, it tasted a little bit sweet but also mixed lemon flavor, which made me have strong appetite. It was a new dish. I hadn't found it on the menu, and the waitress recommended me that.
Service was Ok, waitresses were beautiful and friendly, I think I will come back.š
Authentic Malaysian restaurant with a oriental ambience,
Coconut Prawn was unexpectedly good, creamy coconut cream with crispy deep fried prawns.
Sweet Chilli Crab was a MUST-ORDER, the sauce was just about the right spiciness and sweetness, the crab itself is fresh and meaty.
Peking Duck Wrap was alright, but the duck piece was a bit too thick for my liking and it was barbecue duck instead of roasted duck, which is a different from traditional peking duck.
However, the Laksa was disappointing, the broth tasted as if it was made from pre made laksa pack, noodles were overcooked as well.
P.S. waitress were too busy chatting at the cashier, we have to walk to the cashier when we need their service š
We had dinner here on the weekend. Overall the restaurant was very new, nice and clean. The service was good, and restaurant atmosphere was nice. Most of the food was good. We ordered chilli mud crab and a few dishes, the chilli crab was very delicious! I really recommend this dish. However, a few dish was not very good! Such as the calamari salad was very salty, and the pandan sago with coconut milk was too hard to eat and too sweet and too creamy!! The ice lychee drink was very horrible, they need to learn how to make it before they served to customer, because it was too much water and tasteless. Anyhow, as for the Other dishes were good! Food price was expensive! However, if you'd like to try the fresh mud crab so I highly recommend this restaurant because the crab was very fresh!
Omar's is a fantastic restaurant. Their chilli mud crab is absolutely delicious, and it's lots of fun to get messy! Would definitely return.
Nice vegetarian curry lots of fresh veggies. The roti with peanut sauce was a bit expensive for $7 given the size. Still enjoyed the meal though.
Recommend to people in hawthorn this is a Malaysian cuisine restaurant their food are tasty, like this nyonya fish is sour and spicy. If you really looking for Malaysian food I will recommend this place because the food delicious and thier manu is filled with other types delicious food. Their dessert presentation is great as well as the taste. I will recommend you guys to try coconut crepe the one I posted here it's really good tho.
Omah's isn't your best Malaysian restaurant but it's pretty good and great for Hawthorn. In reality I only go here when they have their lunch menu as its good value and there is a decent range of dishes available. I wouldn't venture here for dinner when there are much better Malay options all over Melbourne.
In spirit of the Lunar New Year, this week's blog posts will be all about those chopstick licking Chinese meals that usually gets consumed during this festive period. A last minute decision brought us to Omah's whereby a seafood loaded dinner is a good excuse to usher in prosperity and happiness. Depending on the number of patrons in the restaurant, be prepared to wait for a bit after placing your order. On the bright side, this fancy Malaysian restaurant does have a little bar located close to the entrance so if you are in need of treats in the form of Asian inspired beverages, you know to go.
So glad Omah's was open on New Year's Day. Service was friendly and quick. Food was good with some twists on traditional Malaysian cuisine.
Beautiful ambience , good service and authentic good value Malaysian cuisine ! Had the mee goreng and chicken curry laksa, both dishes were spot on :) will be back again !
Terrific Malaysian food. The selection is great and the flavours beautiful. Nice interior. The prices are a little on the high side however it is really nice food.
Eaten in a number of times for their great chill crab but first time takeaway. Seafood lakes was top class as we're all the dishes. Good authentic Malaysian.
went past the shop many time,did not go in.finally try it about two years ago and never look back. the spicy noodle soup is so good and tasty and been order it every time there after,sping roll is so good you think there must be meat in it, but i know is vegan, my wife love the bean curd with the dark sauce , steve is very friendly all times,we told our vegan friend and they try it, all love it.
Solid Malaysian food. Laksa soup is exceptionally good, had the water spinach as well which was very well balanced flavor-wise. The service was very welcoming, friendly and honest which was extremely appreciated and gave us a better experience as certain dishes were hinted as better than others. Curious to try the crab dishes in the near future. Good jobs crew!
Love coming here for the crabs. Found it to be quite authentic - comparable to those you can get back in Malaysia. Agree with one of the previous reviewer that they should have mantou for dipping in the chili crab sauce. The rest of the menu is worth trying too especially the ginger flower duck. Service can be hit and miss depending on how busy they are.
Been to Omah's twice now upon recommendations of friends. Best value Monday night crab night with an entree, choice of crab done in 5 different sauces and a dessert. Love the crab - yummy! For crab lovers must try!
Authentic Malaysian food. I love the trendsetting ways of Melbourne's food industry but sometimes you just crave the kinda fresh, hot, yummy food that could be mistaken for something outta your momma's kitchen. It is exactly at these times that you should place an order with Omah's. You are welcome :)
The Nyonya sub-genre of Malaysian cuisine epitomises the culinary blend of Malay and Chinese culture blended with Indian influence. Not many restaurants do Nyonya food but Omah is one of them. And the crabs are pretty damn good too. Nestled in the heart of Hawthorn, this establishment is a good place to entertain, showcase Malaysian cuisine and above all enjoy good food. Clean, family-friendly, friendly service and also able to accommodate large groups.
My only gripe is they should add buns (mun tao) to go with the yummyliceous chili crab sauce. Such a waste to not have anything to soak up the gravy.
Love the house special's chilli crabs!! And the flavoured coconut prawns! The decorations were typical Malaysia's old tea house style! It's a family friendly place, my son super love the junior sets!
The chill crab yummy! must try~ Love the food~ we have ordered the salt egg prawn, black pepper beef, and the tofu &vegi. Yummy. Will go there next time~
The chilli crab taste very authentic, enough spicy and sweetness. Also ordered other stir fried dishes. Like the fried kuey teow too. Also have lunch set menu.
The Salty Crab! I died and went to heaven. Laksa resurrected me. Unbelieveably good food! Please please please open an outlet in Auckland!!!
Have been here many times for their house special crabs for a while! First time for lunch, super like their Nasi Lemak especially the coconut riceļ¼and the price is so cheap with such quality beef and coconut rice!
Friends invited us to there for the so yummy crabs! Super love the slated egg crabs, chilli crab, and coconut prawns!!! Worthy to try! Will come back again!!
Love this place in my neighbourhood. The roast duck laksa is a must order dish and Omah's duck is so tender and juicy and full of flavour. Tried the mud crab lately. What a lovely dish. We tried the salty egg flavour, absolutely to die for. And the mix salad with peanut sauce, brought back my childhood food memory. I would strongly recommend anyone to give this a place a go and you won't regret.
Some of the best chilli crab in town here. Their beef is high quality, not the overtenderised MSG ridden slimy stuff traditional for many suburban asian restaurants. My only gripe is no pork dishes - replacing pork with chicken in lor bak is completely wrong and destroys the dish, and many other dishes aren't quite right if replaced with chicken. A very nice dining room and atmosphere lends well to work dinners and a great introduction for introducing guests to malaysian food in a relaxed setting not typical for many malaysian eateries. Well worth checking out.
Crab is the one to try here.. Chili crab is so delicious.
Overall, a fantastically good value meal using this voucher. The service was definitely lacking and very slow, but I didnāt mind too much as I was coming here mainly for the food and the company anyway. Unfortunately even though I walked out of this restaurant holding my stomach and almost writhing in pain from eating too much, none of the dishes on the Groupon menu actually stood out to me which is a little sad. However, if it wasnāt for this deal it probably wouldnāt have led us to experiencing their Chilli Crab, which is definitely something Iām looking forward to coming back for.

Itās great when you try a new restaurant and like it. And go back again. And again. And again. Ā For me, Omahās has been one of those restaurants. Ā A friend initially recommended it having gone to the one in Port Melbourne but of course with there being an Omahās in Hawthorn, Iāve only tried there. Recently we went on Monday as they have the Monday night crab special ā $45 for an entree (crab omelette), a crab and a dessert. Ā This is quite a bargain ā especially since recently they have changed their pricing structure to the crabs being priced per kg rather than per crab. Ā However, of course, the crab served on Monday nights is smaller than usual! The omelette has definitely shrunk since the last time I went! Before and after shots: Ā Ā The crab can be served in seven different ways ā the only one I havenāt tried is the butter one (is this new?) but oh well ā my favourites are definitely the salted egg and the chilli crab. Ā Itās a shame seafood can be so finicky. The first time I tried
They specialise in mud crab and on Monday they have mud crab night where you can enjoy a three course crab feast for $45.00. They also have a junior menu of five dishes ($8.90) so you can bring the kids along as well.
So after having been to the Port Melbourne ex-sister restaurant (now known as Opah's as they have since cut ties), I thought I'd try the Hawthorn chain for my Birthday. My family and I were not disappointed as the food and quality was just as good (if not better).
It's my 3rd visits to Omahs and had a lovely time again. Both my favorite dishes slated egg crab and coconut prawns were the highlights of the dinner. Must not pass the real coconut prawns made with real coconut water,so much enjoyable flavor! Belacan veggies also deserve a must try! And nice nice coconut rice! Definitely will be back regularly!
Good environment, good taste, sweet service. 4 of us came to Omah's last night, we ordered famous food in its restaurant, 1 chilli crab, 1 backpepper crab and coconut prawn, it is really wonderful. This was also a big birthday celebration party last night, even they were very busy, I have to say, the employees were very friendly and nice and their service were very good. And the environment is clean, a nice Malaysian restaurant. One more thing, the manager told us that they do care about quality foods and food safety. They try the best to provide good quality food for their customers, and they do clean the kitchen everyday after finishing the work to ensure food safety. Honestly, it was a great experience last night.
Great experience. I used a Groupon and regretted not getting a few more. Their beef rendang and chicken curry are both tender and full of homemade flavours. Even the finishing touch -mango pudding with ice cream- is done well.
Fabulous lunch. This place has a great lunch menu for $10 for Mon-Fri. We come nearly every week for our cheap fix of South East Asian food. Best $10!
Lunch Menu. Great for lunch sit down or takeaway. Reasonably priced and good food.
Pretty good food. I've been once to their Port Melbourne sister restaurant but never went back even though the food was tasty. I found the menu overpriced at that time. I frequented Strais of Melacca on Chapel Street Prahran frequently and felt Omahs was of similar quality but at 50% more. On this occasion I bought through Groupon vouchers and this was really great value. It was 5 courses for $39 and while the appetisers were tiny, the mains and dessert to share made up for it. My only gripe is that the drink option was limited to draught beer, wine and tea which for my non alcohol drinking mates tasted terrible. I know right why am I friends with people who don't drink alcohol! None the less, I'll be happy to go back to Omah's if they providing better value than their regular menu. Ie mains should be under $15. Staff were friendly albeit a little show but food delivery was quick.
Groupon deal. Overall, our group on deal was a fair experience. What threw us off was how terribly bad the butter chicken was. For some reason, when we munched it, it felt like it has been reheated through the microwave. The interior of the chicken pieces were hard and chalky despite its exterior being flavoursome. After a few bites, my partner and i did not feel well and had to stop eating for a while. Albeit the desserts were good and the soft shell crab was to die for, i would think twice before dropping by again.
A great feed. Excellent crab
A Most Pleasant Meal. We had a meal here with a Groupon voucher. We made a reservation at rather short notice on Sunday and had a most pleasant and tasty meal. The voucher was excellent value and the service was friendly and efficient ant the food was very good indeed. It was a banquet of five courses with a choice in most parts of the meal. We will certainly come back here.
Enjoyable night out every time. We come here regularly after church, and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and work really hard to make sure we all receive the right orders, food comes out roughly at the same time etc. It's not an easy feat when there's around 20 dining in our group!
I love the coconut rice here; other highlights are the coconut prawns, and the red duck curry with lychee. Can border on pricey, but the special crab nights and summer drinks menu are both worth checking out more closely.
What a beautiful dish! I ordered many lovely dishes with my friends. amazing time! We really enjoy these delicious foods. I will come here again to try another wonderful dishes!
Great food, clean restaurant and good service. Just remember crabs are seasonal and so pricing can change dramatically, always confirm prices before you order. A very pleasant manager in Zoe!
