i tried this restaurant chain for the first time when i travelled to perth. friendly staff.. good food.. car park not too far from this place. i would like to try this restaurant here in Jakarta.
The food never dissapoints here, but the highlight of our most recent visit was the delightful waitress. She was fun, full of personality and impeccably professional. She made sure each one of our group of 9 were completely looked after. Love your work Bivouac, can't wait to come back!
Actually....still need to mention the food. We had the 'feed me menu' and it was hard to pick a favourite, but have to say the lamb, oh my gosh, melt off the bone and so rich and tasty.
Great food at great prices. Actually amazing food. The fried chicken skin is to die for, wash it down with a teh tarik and I'm in heaven. I wish the yh would make their prices a little bit cheaper because i buy so many dishes it starts to get a bit too expensive
For a chain restaurant their food isn’t too bad. I like their prawn mee and curry chicken with roti. The curry is probably one of the better ones I’ve had. Very tasty. Quick service and friendly staff.
Severed quickly even when the store was busy. Food was delicious and is seems like the quality is consistent throughout all PappaRich stores. Their milk tea was sweet and similar to those in SE Asia
They provide a very cheap offer for the first timer who visited their shop, by downloading their apps and register with your email then show it to them, you can enjoy a AUD $8 for few choices food from the menu. The foods also taste similar with the one I've had in Malaysia. Good place to visit for lunch or dinner.
Great Malay food 🥘 🙌🏻 Ordered Roti Canai dishes and Pappa Fried Rice Noodles. Roti is a good size but if you’re hungry order an extra piece! No split bill & can pay by card.
Overall everything was pricey but acceptable. The Hainanese Steamed Chicken Rice was average but the Nasi Lemak was awesome. PappaRich is a nice place to go if you want some authentic Malaysian Asian food at Northbridge.
All the PapaRich restaurants in Perth are great but Northbridge is the best. We usually order the Nasi Lemak and Hainanese chicken rice both delicious. Drinks are also yummy! Price is ridiculously cheap and food is delicious! There’s a reason why there’s always a line!
Ah Pappa Rich. Clean, modern and tasty. The roti is really worth trying (it's their best dish here), but the drinks are overpriced and not too good. Out of all the branches, the Nortbridge is the original and the best. So I recommend this one the most, just be prepared for the loooooong queue.
I had lunch here on a busy day. The staff took time to explain to me how to order here using the slip after she found out I have never been here. The food was so nice and nicely plated even it was so busy. Everything was so good that we have to go back for more. I love this place for the food and the friendly staffs. Best Paparich in Perth.
oh wow!! the menu here is outstanding!! so much to choose from and because there was a group of us we got to try a really varied selection. the curries are fresh flavoursome and authentic. The homemade breads are divine. Been here three times in an attempt to work my way through the menu. Never been disappointed with anything that I have ordered. Affordable, authentic, amazing.
Finally tried PappaRich with Uber Eats and it was delicious. Had the nasi lemak with beef rendang and egg sago dessert......................
excellent place. Zero customer service as this isnt the type. The food is so cheap and consistent. I wish their NB store was open till late, they'd be so busy. Love their malaysian bread, not sure what it's called.

Great Malaysian fare to be had. Alcohol free but the drinks menu is extensive, sweet and delicious. Can't go past a roti canai and a special mention to the vegetarian fried rice which is delicious. Also good for take away!
I love coming here to get a little taste of home once in a while.
Ordered beef rendang and roti canai with a side of chicken curry and an extra roti. Authentic taste and nice chunks of meat, had enough left over to take for lunch the next day (and didn't have to pay extra for a container).
$52 for two people (no drinks) and plenty of food.
My only complaint is that the restaurant looks a bit grotty and the tables and chairs needed a good wipe down. It made me scared to venture to the bathroom.
Best Malaysian food I ever had; loved their roti canai and dumplings , even their coconut drink was amazing ,
Have amazing ambience.
Thumbs up
The fast food joint of Malaysia, Papparich offers a piece of Malaysian cuisine in Perth. There is a wide range of choices at reasonable prices, so you're surely to find something to your liking. The food has been good everytime I've been and there usually is a line so make sure you come early to skip the wait.
Friends recommended this place so we went on a Sunday night to try it out. The service was good and the staff were very helpful as we had not been there before. We had the chicken curry and noodles and they were both delicious. We also tried the lime drink with the ice cream and it was delicious and very refreshing.
I love Papparich. It's great authentic Malaysian food. It's always very busy though so come early or be prepared to line up. Try the Roti for entrée.
It was so hard to decide what to choose as it all looked so good but the Chilli Pan Mee that I ended up going for was just perfect. It was a good size and the chilli hit was just want I needed to clear a lingering cold.
I come here with my partner as a regular and i love the ordering system, it is so easy and convenient !
Love love the Pappa Chicken Rice, it is my favourite.
However the Fish noodle soup with Tofu was disappointing no flavour in the soup, lacked salt and very oily !
Better late than never! I've no idea what authentic Malaysian food tastes like so had no expectations. The roti was freaking incredible. The mantau were sooooo soft. Beef rendang was good but I'd probably try something else next time (yes I will definitely be back). Side of rice is a good portion size, beef rendang not so big. Two others got laksa which size wise they were happy with but not so happy with the fat not being drained. No issues getting a table on a Thursday lunch time. Incredible drink menu selection. My first teh tarik was deeeeelish. $1.50 surcharge to not have ice in your drink is a bit much! Service faultless. Looking forward to a return trip.
I first tried Papparich when I was in Melbourne, however, since then the franchise has opened up in Perth at 3 locations: Northbridge, Carousel and Joondalup. When they first opened, there use to be a massive queue, however, this has definitely died down now and it is a lot easier to get a seat without waiting too long. The ordering system at Papparich is different whereby you write down your order on the ordering sheet provided and then ring the bell to get the waiter’s attention. I have been here a couple of times and enjoy some of their dishes such as the roti and satay sticks. Other dishes that I have had are ok but some are a bit bland. They do offer a variety of authentic Malaysian dishes such as Assam Laksa, which are not commonly available in Perth. In comparison to other Malaysian restaurants, I think that Papparich serving sizes are smaller and a bit pricier. I personally prefer some of the other restaurants that are south of the river such as Bullcreek Hawkers which offer similar dishes. Overall it is decent food for a franchise.
This is some quality Malaysian style dining. A place with fried chicken skin on the menu? Yes please. I had the Chicken Rice with a side of satay. It isn't cheap but its a lot cheaper than a flight to KL.
I ordered a fish head laksa for dinner. It tasted really good!!! The laksa serving was huge. The service was efficient, as we had to write down the order.
Roti telur and nasi lemak are the best dishes. Hainanese chicken is lacking in flavour. Laksa and prawn noodles are good. Fried kueh teow and satay didn't hit the mark.
Loved the menu! Very true to Malaysian cuisine and although it's a franchise, it hasn't deviated far from the Paparich menu in Malaysia. It's downside is the cost; it's quite pricey for the serving size and quality.
The food here is very similar to the Carousel one. Of course they sell the same food. Can get quite busy and queues are long especially on weekends. Tastes are almost similar.
Eat here to have my authentic Malaysian fix, great food, the nasi lamak is very tasty and generous in size, a large choice of dishes to eat, the roti canai is excellent, the staff could be a bit friendlier but overall a decent experience every time.
Super quick service and good value for money. We ordered a number of their noodle dishes and the nasi lemak. All really tasty and good serving size. We were way too full but don't regret ordering a side of deep fried chicken skin.... Not great for your heart but so tasty! Cold drinks selection also really good.
Fast And Delicious Eats!

Ate here for dinner last night. Faced a long line but within 5 mins we were seated inside smelling all the delicious aromas. For something different try the crispy chicken skin!
Excellent for a cheap eat. Food is good, service ok. Good for a quick bite to eat and good enough value for money. Have been a few times and I like it enough to keep going back.
Although I wouldn't eat it every day, the chicken skin dish you have is something original to me! The curry is very authentic to Malaysian cuisine and I thought the entire menu was very reasonably priced. The ordering system made things very easy too.
Oh how I love roti canai, and it's particularly good here (if pricey). The rendang and chicken are a bit average, though. Teh tarik was fine, not outstanding. But oh the roti canai...
Roti!! Just like they do it in Malaysia. We had the roti chanai with extra roti. The sambal was delicious too. Good food, good service, great prices. They don't serve alcohol but their non alcoholic drinks are really good.

Visited several times n enjoy the food always. I walked in paparich northbridge with a group on 22 feb for dinner . We are very happy with your service n food .
I came here for a quick dinner with some friends. Although there was a line, we got in after a 10 minute wait. Wasn't too bad considering it was a friday night.
I ordered the special nasi lemak. It came as a very large serving and I struggled to finish it. Very satisfying and tasty. I've been here before but my feeling is that it is on the pricy side for malaysian food. I guess the extra costs goes into good service, fun experience and good atmosphere.
Food was quite good. The staff were not as friendly as I thought they would be. We had to wait outside and they only let people in when everyone in your group was there.
This was YUMMMMMM! How good is roti!? Went with a party of 5 and everyone left satisfied. Super fresh food and flavours, plenty of spice. The roti bread was so fresh and delicious it was almost like eating a croissant... Definitely heading back to Pappa Rich!!!!
Food - delicious so many to choose from 😋
Service - Excellent. The staff here are all friendly.
Can't wait for the coconut paradise to come back 😊
For The Love Of Food

Enjoyed my first visit to Papparich. Despite having seen queues before, we walked straight in and managed a table for 5 people. The restaurant was not even full. I ordered the Roti Canai and Satay Chicken. Everything was amazing. The dahl and sauce were delicious, the sambal was spicy and sweet and the roti was just like I remember in Malaysia; hot, flakey, crunchy, soft and delicious. The satay was perfect, chicken cooked well with really tasty sauce. There was a small side of cucumber and red onion. It would have been nice to have a few more vegetables, or just more cucumber to cut through the richness. The waitress brought tap water for the table when asked. They are friendly and service was relatively quick, although one person's meal did come out a lot sooner than the rest. Would definitely return.
I quite enjoy papparich, its not often you find Roti in perth as good as you get in malaysia, however papparich comes close. Didn't enjoy the chicken curry with it, the dahl was lovely though. The service here is terrible, zero talking to the customer just grab your ticket and leave ... very noisy but reasonably cheap
Not bad - I only tried the Roti Chenai - the roti was piping hot and flakey, the chicken curry was boneless and authentic tasting with 2 great condiments- great service with a smile! Winning
I'm trying their nasi lemak and it was great. It so tasty. I love the one with fried chicken and sambal eggplant. Also the one that you must try is their roti canai. They make it fresh.
Whenever I miss Malaysian food, I know I can trust PappaRich to cater to my cravings. They have a huge selection of Malaysian yummies and drinkies! I would make this place a staple of mine if it's not for the price they charge.
Great food and atmosphere, the food took me back to Penang and the Cameron Highlands. Best beef rendang and chicken curry I have had in Perth (except for my wife's cooking) so good to finally get a decent roti in Perth, something that has been missing for a long time.The restaurant is modern, busy and yet inviting, we will be back and bring our friends! Oh get there for a early lunch or dinner to avoid the queues. Only complaint is that they don't open earlier for breakfast!
Roti Bom was terrific, just like in Malaysia. It's a slightly thicker and and more dense version of a typical roti canai and includes white sugar and condensed milk as dips. It made for a great dessert along with the teh tarik (which wasn't so sweet thankfully!) The hype has definitely died down for this place (about time too) as most Papparich stores in Malaysia are never this busy. Would definitely come back for the Roti Bom!!
Oh my gosh, we could NOT select what to eat! every meal and drink looks really nice on the menu.. We ended up choosing the fish anchovy noodle chicken soup (sounds complicated but its nice!) and Pappa Wat Tan Hor (fried noodle and prawn) for main, satay chicken for starters & soya milk jelly and barely grass jelly drinks (I know, what fattys!). We left feeling massively full (in need for a walk) and satisfied. Very casual dining with efficient service and everything came out together. With respect to authenticity of the meals, I don't know how similar or how close they resemble those from the home country but the satay sauce is very similar to that found on the streets in Senggigi, Lombok in Indonesia.Cant wait to go back & chose something else off the menu!x
Tasty food. I had nasi lemak with beef rendang, the meat was super tender. The desserts were also delicious. No ambience here just a quick place to eat. We were rushed in and out.
Arrived and was seated quickly, waitress was lovely and helpful. Ordered and within 5 minutes our meals came out. The meals were awesome!!! The chicken rice was amazing and by far my favourite. Highly recommend it!
Definitely will be back
One word... Awesomeness! Being vegetarian it was lovely to see the mock meat on the menu, really made my day. The Roti Canai with curry mutton was simply delightful and so was the vegetarian curry mutton with fried noodles. I highly recommend to and vegans and vegetarians out there who enjoy Asian cuisine. Very nice, will definitely be back again!
It was a pretty fun experience dining here tonight. The restaurant is very well lit and the decor is quite modern so it's a very comfortable place to be. The service is super efficient and all the staff were attentive.
The satay sticks were great. Probably the best I've had in a while. I ordered a Nasi Lemak and it was nice and spicy. Dale ordered the Dry Egg Noodle with Curry Chicken. He said it was the most satisfying meal he'd had in a while.
He also ordered a Lychee Soda which tasted AMAZING, and left me feeling pretty jealous with my coke zero.
Would go again.
Really enjoyed eating here. The food came out really fast and the place is very clean. I was quite impressed with their menu selection - especially the drinks menu. There's a lot to choose from. I recommend their seafood laksa, worth a try!
Fantastic idea for a restaurant. Write down your order using the menu codes, push a button and wait... Minimal service is required as the food cycles through by itself. Fantastic food with great vegetarian options. Dessert is authentic and the drinks will have you intrigued! Fantastic place. Will go again.
Food is always good , the constancy is there , drinks are delicious, hi recommended if you don't mid wait a little bit in the cue , service is very fast , food is nice and taste , sometimes there are so busy so one mistake really affect the system.
Eight Seconds Of Food

Can't believe this place still has queues for dinner given it's been open for so long now!
Overall the food is still pretty solid though a bit pricier than your average malaysian fare in Perth. You can find other places in Perth than do better versions of certain dishes, but few can match the variety that Papa Rich offers as their menu is very extensive and has pretty pictures next to every menu item =)
My favourites are the nasi goreng special, ABC mixed ice dessert, roti banana with icecream. Drinks-wise, I love the iced organic soy bean - Could drink it all day long.
First visit to Papparich in Northbridge. We ordered 5 dishes. Really impressed with Roti Telur with Curry Chicken, Satay Chicken & Char Kway Teow. They were impeccable! Rendang Beef was average & Curry Laksa Seafood tasted a bit weird. We'll definitely go back to order more rotis and satays!
We were super happy to be seated straight away for 12:30 lunch on a Sunday afternoon- we'd previously tried at a similar time in summer and couldn't handle the big wait for a table then. I'm not sure there's a magic formula for timing- sometimes it seems very busy, but it ebbs and flows, and service is very quick, so turnover is pretty good.
I lived in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia as a kid, and one of my fondest memories is a Sunday morning breakfast of roti canai with dhal and chicken curry. Since the sad demise of Suria Cafe we've been hunting for a place in Perth that can do it as well, and I give Papparich a big thumbs up. Super flavour in the chicken curry, fluffy roti, delicious dhal. One of our other diners went for beef rendang instead of chicken curry, and declared it delicious- though it left something to be desired for temperature, being quite cold when served.
Our youngest diner had a go at the Pappa Wat Tan Hor combination noodles- thick, flat rice noodles with prawns, fish cakes and chicken in a thick egg gravy. The flavours were great, but the gravy was a bit more than we were expecting- it was more like a thick soup than anything, and we didn't end up finishing it.
We also had a classic teh tarik (yum) and a rose/ soy drink, both of which were very good.
We liked the novelty of writing down your own order and buzzing for collection- very efficient. Fun to watch the chefs making the roti in the kitchen, too.
Looking forward to coming back soon to try some of the noodle soup dishes as well!
So good!!
I love this place! Ridiculously quick, delicious, big variety and cheap! What more could you ask for?
I loved the flavour of the anchovy soup, never had anything like it before, they balanced the strong hit of anchovy so well. And the drinks....dessert in a glass!
But oh man... The steamed buns with Kaya! I could have eaten 10 of those! I had only very recently heard about the idea of Kaya and was so excited to see it on the menu, now I understand why there were so many options with it! I'll be back to try them all!
I also like the "press the button" when you're ready to order... Cause it took me ages to decide.
Always busy, and always a line out the door but never have to wait long.
Food is always served really fast, and is good value with big portions.
Fast, cheap, quality food and friendly staff.
Smart idea to order by ourselves and press the button to get served. Wish most of the restaurants can have this system. Well priced food and big enough to feel full
Food always get served really quickly. It's quite easy to find lunch spot during weekday lunch time. I like the way we can order food just by pressing the bell on the table.
Briyani isn't their strong point. I like their chicken rice, but some friends said that it was "just okay" (compared to Ipoh's). Everyone's favourite is: chicken curry chop and chilli pan mee. I can say that the food portion here is generous.
Finally, some decent malaysian street food in a nice setting, with wait staff uniformly dressed.
I didn't mind the 20 minutes wait out the door for lunch. The menu is extensive and spans across many pages. Making a decision of what to eat was the problem as everything looked so delicious! The ordering system is smart, not as smart as what you would get in other modern IT savvy restaurants, but a good start for Perth. We had the roti canai with chicken curry, laksa and nasi bryani. Everything was delicious and looked exactly like how it was pictured and featured in the menu. The chilli jam was to die for.
Your gluten free options are the satay chicken and nasi lemak with fried chicken. Yay right? Definitely! Always better than nothing to do eat I'd say. I have had other food there before my gluten free weeks and I really enjoyed it. It's a taste of home in perth. It's almost there but not quite there but still satisfying. Definitely a go to place to try various Asian dishes.
Yummy food, cool ordering system. Good was well sized and cheap! I had an Indian settle sticky chicken with rice and a coconut bread - it was lovely! Would defo go again, for the price!
Love this place, never fails to surprise me, wide variety of Malaysian food and I love the chicken dishes!
Drinks here are a little pricey but definitely worth.
One of the best laksa's I've ever eaten. Such good flavour! Well priced too. Food comes out so quickly after being ordered, so a great place if you are on the go. Also has some good Asian drinks.
Love PapaRich! The crispy roti and the delicious moist chicken. This place is perfect and cheap too. Meals come out quickly so you're not waiting for long.
awesome! I love papparich. been here so many times now and I still can't get enough. I like their vegetarian options. staff is always quick and helpful. won't be long till I'm back again.
First time at Pappa's. We got seated in a couple of minutes being a two. The ordering I read how to do online prior (fill out the piece of paper with the references on the menu and then press the buzzer) which is good as they don't tell you. I ordered the chicken tandoori roti, the roti was very good, the chicken well cooked but not too much meat and the sides complemented well, the chilli sneaks up on you! Partner order the chicken with noodles, the chicken was so tender and noodle tasty. We also order as a side the chicken satay, although good the price was far too high for what it was so I wouldn't order again. I look forward to going back and trying a few other dishes.
Good food, cheap and comes out fast. Great quick eatery in the middle of Northbridge.
Love!!! Great service and atmosphere. Love the system of ordering my own food. Fairly quick and so cheap!!! The flavour in the food was great. Will be back for the roti bread and curry sauce for sure!
Yummo san. OMG So tasty dishes.. clean nice decor. great service . prompt friendly....
recommended to all to try.
Very nice food :) the staff are hard working and accommodating. Very nice drink menu - very unique. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends
No queues at 10.30am for brunch!. I read all the bad reviews but still wanted to try Papparich for myself and I'm glad I did.
I ordered the assam laksa, it was hot & sour and certainly satisfied my craving for it.
My husband had the nasi lemak which he was happy with, though he would've liked more of the sambal sauce.
We shared the satay chicken skewers which I thought had an authentic taste.
At this early time of the day the service was very attentive and fast.
It was abit more expensive than other Malaysian restaurants but I thought it was worth it. We had a lovely brunch there.
We'll be back. We've often see the queues lined up outside Papparich and have planned to go there but never quite seemed to have the patience, nor the inclination, to line up.
We had our opportunity on the weekend while we went to Northbridge for a fringe show, we walked straight in (mind you it was only 6:30pm) and were given a seat by a very friendly and polite waitress.
After perusing the menu for awhile we made our pick and rang for our waiter, within a few minutes of placing our order our drinks arrived, and not long after that our entree's followed.
For mains I had the Nasi Lemak, and whilst I read some of the previous reviews which bagged the dish, I for one would have to argue, it was fantastic.
I'm not overly fussed if it was 100% original or not, it was a great dish non the less, and I would gladly have it again, I likes what I likes.
Do your taste buds a big one and get them into Papparich, the service was brilliant and the food fantastic and very cheap.
Gary
Great!. Excellent value for money. A top Nasi lemak! Will return.
Rocked up at 7:30 pm last night with about 5 groups in the line before us, waited only a few minutes and then we were seated. Ordered the satay chicken, fried mee, kuey teow and the roti Canai with beef rendang. Food only took 5 minutes for the first dish and only 10 minutes for all 4 dishes to be on our table. Service was great even though it was flat out. As close to the Papparich in MY as your going to get. Have no idea what the other negative comments were about as I read them prior to trying out Papparich. Price is a lot cheaper than mains in Northbridge at a regular Asian restaurant. Will definitely be going back.
It's good enough, but the wait makes it not worth it. Personal opinion - the place is over hyped and over rated. The food is good (unless of course you're from South East Asia or familiar with the food), but for everyone else, not likely you'll know the difference. It's pretty decent food for a decent price - of course you can get cheaper at a hawker center, but you go to Pappa Rich for the brand and setting anyway (dining snobbery is ok!). There is a large variety on the menu and service is not bad - they do try although the busy restaurant does make it hard to get good service.
However, depending on how long you wait - it can really tip the scale from acceptable to unacceptable. The food is not good enough for a 1 hour wait to make it worthwhile. So yes, do try it out, but make sure you go for an early lunch or dinner for a short wait.
Tad overrated. Came here for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday night. There was a huge line outside and we waited almost an hour. The ordering system is a bit strange but it's effective. You write the code of the dish you want from the menu on a piece of paper and press a buzzer so the waiters collect it. I had the dry kway teow with steamed chicken. It was great a little plain at first but together with the sweet moist chicken it's good but nothing mindblowing! My friends had the roti canal with curry chicken and tandoori chicken. The portions are a little small, you definitely should order extra roti canal. I thought both chickens were ordinary and the chilli sauce not even spicy. The drinks menu is awesome! The tropical lime is so good and the other lychee drink just as good. The food is good all round but does it live up to the hype? Not really. But it's worth a try even just once.
Few things a favourite. There are definitely some good things and bad things from the menu.
So far my favourite is the Chilli Pan Mee! Not as authentic but the flavours definitely worked for me! Yum!
The Briyani was OK- sauce didn't taste very fresh prepared but still there.
The plain roti pratha with chicken curry was sweet! Did not belong there, it was more like a dessert. However the pratha with onion and egg was much better.
The hor fun with steam chicken- steam chicken was tender and flavours were lovely, however the broth of the hor fun was rather bland.
Drinks wise- the hot tea and coffee range was bland, very different from what I tasted in KL. Cold beverage selection were slightly better, the Special Sesame concoction is a must try !
Efficient. The wait was not too long to get in on a Sunday. I had the Ipoh Koay Teow Soup with Steamed Chicken. The food was good but nothing spectacular; the broth was really flavoursome though. Service was efficient and I liked how there is a bell that you can press to get the waitstaff's attention. Ordering is easy with each menu item appointed with a code that you write down on the order form. This order form is then given to the waitstaff. There is plenty of choices for the drinks. I ended up choosing the iced Red Bean one but I would like to try Matcha Rocks next time.
Love it. If you're expecting authentic Malaysian food, this isn't it. But I feel like it's the best for the price in Perth. Great service, great ambience, food is good. Highly recommend the fried chicken.
Authentic Malaysian. Just the way it would be in Malaysia. Must try the curry chicken noodles and cham
Classic Malay street food
Good franchise from KL
Good vibe ,cause always busy
Service is ok
The Malaysian version of Jamies Italian - nothing special just simple Malaysian food - i would go there again for a simple quick cheap meal if I was passing by however would not wait in the long lines nor rush back -
At least the food wasnt the typical processed cheap Asian food usually found in this area
Must try this one.. Fantastic..
We arrived in the restaurant on a Saturday at 11:45, lined up about 5 minutes. Food comes out very quick. Portion was quite big. Taste wise is 8/10. I ordered the Nasi lemak special $16 which comes with everything. The place Is quite nice inside. Service was good, as we have this bell that we can press to order food. The wait staff also quite pollite, they actually asked if the plates can be taken away (unlike the usual chinese restaurant where they kick u out once u finish eating). I will come back, next time I recommend start lining up at 11 am.
Very efficient and decent prices. So this is actually commercialised Malaysian food, but it tastes really good and the prices are quite reasonable too (12-20$ for a meal). We were in a fairly long line but really only waited around 10 minutes to get in.
The sizes are huge and the drinks selection is AWESOME. To be honest I preferred their drinks over any of the other bubble tea places around - plus it's a lot cheaper too.
Definitely recommended for a quick and tasty dinner. :)
Yummy. Had dinner here a couple of nights ago with some Malaysian friends. We were absolutely blown away with the flavours! I had the Nasi lemak: the coconut rice was fragrant and the chilli condiment was not too spicy. The roasted peanuts went well with the dish. I must say my first experience with Malaysian cuisine was a great one!! Will be back to work my way through the menu!!
Pretty tasty food. The satay sauce is damn good as well as the roti kaya (roti with a coconut jam in the middle), beef rendang had good flavour but unfortunately the roti that came with it was a bit dry and crunchy but still edible I just prefer a softer roti. Laksa seafood was also yum. Very reasonably priced good food.
FRIED CHICKEN SKIN. Best fried chicken skin. Rendang and Nasi Lemak (a bit pricey) were nice but the fried chicken skin was the dish that stood out the most.
Pretty good and can't argue with the value for money. Perth needs more good quality middle of the road eats like this. The long queues tell you something
Really good roti canai and drink selection in Perth. Have been twice. Enjoyed the drinks - red bean, teh c, sesame ice cream with soy milk. Roti canai and roti bom really delicious! Makes me miss Malaysia heaps.
Other dishes are okay, not really different compared to other Malaysian restaurants in Perth.
Nice. Tastes exactly like what you would get if you are in Malaysia, except for the fact that you would pay RM13.90 there, and A$13.90 here, haha. But nonetheless Yummy curry chicken dry noodles, spot on.
Spot on!. I didn't have high expectations going to Papparich the other day with my two friends. I had heard good things but decided not to get too hyped incase I was disappointed with the food. Being of Malaysian/Chinese descent, I was just expecting the usual average asian meal.
WOW. Can I just say, best meal I've had in a while! Had the Roti Telur with Chicken Curry. Quite well priced as well. A bit more curry sauce would have been good to dip my roti in.
Amazing. Brought me back to the wonderful world of Asia!
Definitely bringing my parents here. They will love it!
Recommend to any Malaysians that haven't been back in a while that need a little taste of home.
Pappa is bringing in the numbers.. Everytime I have walked past this restaurant on James street since returning from Europe, there has been a massive queue outside in the cold to get a table inside. The lack of a booking system seems to be the culprit for this.
We decided to "beat the queue" when we caught up with some friends tonight and went extra early for dinner (around 5:30pm). When we got there our friends were in the queue only 1 group back from the door but the line was already out to around 15 tables of people long.
I am not really an advocate of standing in lines for extended periods of time so I was pleasantly surprised when we were asked in and sat down at a table within a few minutes of entering the line. (For reference our friends had been waiting around 10 minutes before we arrived)
The place was totally the polar opposite of what I expected but in a good way I must say. The open kitchen bug seems to have really bitten now in Perth and it seems PappaRich has gone down this now familiar route also.
The ordering system is quite efficient and the menu's are bright and clear. We had an iced lemon tea with honey and several Teh Tariks. For our meals we selected satay beef skewers, roti telur with curry chicken, ipoh kway teow with steamed chicken and chilli pan mee.
The drinks were decent and came out straight away. The meal however was a slightly different matter. The second part of my main actually arrived after everyone had finished their meals. We were told that in this restaurant they just bring the food out when it is ready rather then at the same time per table which can lead to very awkward situations (think a date).
The chilli pan mee was apparently respectable, whilst the ipoh was considered "a bit average". In truth my satay beef skewers fell short of the mark in my opinion and the roti whilst respectable wasn't worth mentioning.
All in all I think the place is decent and the food is okay, I wouldn't say it is expensive on the whole, but for the type of food it is pricey and therefore along with the queue it will be a while before I return (unless I want to eat dinner at 5:30 again!)
GOOD FOOD, GOOD SERVICE & HIGHLY RECOMMEND.. Went to Papa Rich for the second time this week. First was with a friend a few days earlier and today went there with husband. We were greeted and seated quickly by friendly staff as we were there just before 11.00am where the crowd were starting to build up.
Husband ordered the Briyani with chicken curry & eggplant while I had the nasi lemak with chicken curry and prawn sambal. The serving size was reasonably huge and we left fully loaded and satisfied.
We highly recommend Pappa Rich to anyone who cares to give it a try and know that you will not be disappointed.
And for Pappa Rich, continue to maintain your good quality of food, the good service and know that we'll be back for more.
Best Malaysian food I've had in Perth. Roti canai was great and the tropical lime drink is the bomb diggity. Nice atmosphere too, I can see why this place is popular in Melbourne.
Not bad, slightly on a pricier side. We queued for this place (it wasn't long as we arrived at 5.15pm) and I don't regret that decision.
Service was so busy but food came within seconds. One or two of our orders were wrong but made right almost immediately. Nasi lemak - i heard was quite average. I had prawn noodle ($13.90) and it was not bad. I had lychee cincau drink which was really sweet but a fairly large serve (it had better be since it set me back by 5.90$).
I heard the curry laksa was not bad either. Roti canai with egg was good and Hainanese chicken rice was not bad. You can't compare with the authentic versions but this is as good as it gets for your local malaysian/singaporean hawker favourites. I find it slightly pricy for average $20 per head but Papparich is a brand and i think you would pay a little premium for dining at this famous franchise.
I am certainly NOT queuing up again but will return when the hype dies down for a normal meal.
Authentic Malaysian food!. After couple weeks, we finally battle thru the long queue and it was so worth it! First visit, we tried the Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai and Briyani. OMG they were authentic! So close to the real deal you get in Malaysia! Second visit, we came early and they wasn't any queue YAaaay! We had the same order plus roti satay and teh tarek...best teh tarek in Perth! Service was fast and great though I must say you gotta come early before the madness long queue starts. Also the most I luv is how their menu comes with pics!
. The tropical lime drink was like heaven on earth. The banana fritter tasted like potato but that's okay.
Seriously good Malaysian! The satay is authentic and I've been chasing down a good Malaysian satay joint in Perth for a while! So glad it's here with such a range of good food! Make sure you try the curry laksa too! Oh and the drinks are amazing too! Do not let the coconut paradise pass you! Delicious is an understatement!
Bee's Knees Satay. Tried this with a Malaysian friend and thankfully we got there early as per her advice, as the line not longer after we got in (5.30pm on a Thurs) was huge! It led to my fellow diner commenting that Papparich was the new Asian Jamie's of Perth!
We ordered quite a bit eager to try as much as possible and the prices made us believe the servings would be on the smaller side. We were wrong! Even with 2 hungry men we struggled to finish them all.
The stand outs were the satay sticks (which were the closest to the homemade BBQ variety I had at a Malay friend's house many years ago), the roti (light, crispy but doughy and just yum) and the rendang with basmati and eggplant. I want to know how they cook the eggplants like that! Also the large choice of Malay drinks was impressive. I'll be going back, if I can get in!
Delicious yummy!!. A must go restaurant! It's definitely worth the waiting!
Best roti canai. We love all the food and drinks! From nasi lemak, curry laksa but my favourite was the roti canai :) a must-try dish at Papparich !
Good malaysian food. A nice setting, friendly staff, fast service.Ordered the roti and roti telur. Tasty curries and well presented. Nice teh tarik. A couple of teething problems but all good!
Came here tonight with my siblings and although there was a huge queue it was well worth the wait. There were 6 of us and we ordered entree, mains and drinks and they all came not long after our orders were placed. Service was efficient. Our favs tonight was the crispy chicken skin, kaya butter with toast, roti and satay sticks. Would definitely come again!!
Been twice in 2 days. Ca.... Been twice in 2 days.
Came for lunch with my family twice now. Laksa, Roti canai, Satays, kuey teow, kway teow dry with steam chicken, prawn mee and pappa wat tan hor. ALL AMAZING. Most authentic Malaysian food in Perth. Wait can be long but worth it. Service is fast and delicious. 10/10
Tried twice and disappointed. The roti canai is way too sweet. The food and drinks are always cold when they come to you. Mamak in Sydney is way better.
A taste of home.. Loved the food and the reasonable price ..Gonna come back for breakfast!
Cheap and tasty. I love ALMOST everything about this place.
The food is incredible. Huge, tasty, servings that are very reasonably priced. Most items around $12-$15.
I only wish it was much bigger. Having to line up to get seated in a squishy restaurant, where there's barely any room for waitstaff to walk between two tables, makes it a little annoying.
Good service though.
Excellent Malaysian cuisine.. Worth the wait...services was excellent and prompt...Food come out quickly and taste amazing...Highly recommended if you want to try Malaysia cuisine. Price is relatively cheaper than normal café prices...
Average prices is $12 -$15....coming back for more...
Love the dishes and variety. We ordered a total of 12 dishes & were all tasty.
Good job on the glassware (tableware) as this is the healthiest choice.
99% of Malaysian restaurants use plasticware and thats cheap & unhealthy.
Papparich you are a class above them

Worth the wait!. The food was really good! waited for awhile to get the table but it's worthwhile. service was good, food arrived pretty quick. overall good dining experience!

Being a fan of pan mee/ban mian generally, Kitty had the chilli pan mee, which was served dry with chicken mince, mushroom, chilli sauce, spinach, crisp anchovies, and a soft boiled egg. It was the kind of dish that Kitty or her family would serve at home – simple comfort food – and yet we were torn as to whether it could be improved upon in a restaurant setting. You know, meat cooked just so, a more generous serve, more care taken with the seasoning and accompaniments. It could be the dishes we picked, it could be our unfair comparison of similar dishes from hawker food stores and family homes that have honed their dish to perfection. Anyway, we need a bigger sample size from PappaRich– we would like to try the mantou with kaya (anything with kaya, really) and their roti canai next time.
The roti wasn’t crispy like how I like it but that’s because I ordered the one with fried egg stuffed on the inside. I think I will get it without the fried egg next time. It was quite dense. I liked the curry chicken though. Chicken was nice and moist.
Since the official Perth opening on 15th August 2014, Papparich has been extremely popular amongst Perth’s Malaysian food lovers. Having first tried PappaRich at Chadstone in Melbourne earlier this year, I couldn’t have been more excited about its opening in Perth. Having seen how popular PappaRich was on Facebook , I was worried that we would be greeted by a long line at the door. On arrival, there was a line outside, but this moved quickly and to my surprise we were seated in 5 minutes. Having checked the menu online in advance, I knew immediately what I wanted to order. The efficient method of ordering meant that our f
Papparich - the generator of much hoo ha. The only restaurant in Perth that has had a consistent line since I can remember and I use the word consistent instead of suggesting it is the only restaurant that has had a line ever because frankly I can't remember a single other. But I am sure I am wrong. For those that do not know Papparich is a Malaysian food chain restaurant. It serves all the typical Malaysian dishes and we were really interested to know if they did them well.

PappaRich has finally arrived in Perth and is a newbie on the Perth dining scene. It’s the first outlet in Western Australia too, along with 10 outlets operating in other Australian states. Established in 2005 with its first restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and today, PappaRich has expanded across Malaysia and internationally. (Yep believe me, it’s everywhere in Malaysia!) PappaRich also boasts an extensive menu with a variety of dishes to choose from. Oh and their menu comes with mouthwatering photos too. From Malaysian classics like Nasi Lemak and Satays to Roti Canai, PappaRich caters for all tastes and palates.
The roti is excellent - light and fluffy on the inside, and moorishly crisp on the outside. It's a must have if you dine here or at one of their other venues.
The menu has loads of options, from the famous roti to briyani, ho fun, chicken rice and breakfast menu (complete with kaya and mantou). It has variety and mass appeal: everything is very good by Perth standards, but none of the dishes are amazing. Overall: cheap, fast and tasty food at a Malaysian franchise that knows what it’s doing
A whole host of Malaysian dishes to choose from in comfortable surrounds and friendly service. Enjoyed the super tender satay chicken, loved the roti with chicken curry, char kway teow was yum as too the prawn mee & liked the fermented soy bean in syrup.
Food is really tasty... you have a very wide choice to make.. price is affordable and their atmosphere is very pleasant.. and enjoy your time there..
Tasty satay chicken, tasty roti telur. Laksa was average okay. Fried chicken skin is a must try! Super tasty, despite being so bad for you. Fried chicken is pretty average though, not bad but I wouldn't get it again - it has a bit of curry flavouring like curry chicken but not as tasty, and is deep fried. Highly recommend the chicken rice, only $3 per bowl and one bowl is more than enough for 1 person.
Been there quite a few times and the food is really tasty and reasonably priced for Perth. I was quite excited to find chicken skin on the menu but every time I have had it at Papparich, it was not very crunchy and seemed like it had been cooked a while ago and was just reheated. But otherwise food is really yummy.
with that much variety on their menu, didn't think it will be any good. but what we ordered was surprisingly really good. service was quick too, and staff were friendly.

Came in for a late night bite with the extented family from an art exhibition (also all in the family affair). Despite the rather late hour, we managed to get seats for the the 20-odd group. (Yeah, you'd have to queue during lunch time at Papparich QVB, Melbourne 😅). The food served is as good as what you'd find back home, plus for mine, with extra seafood variety. Plus the portion here is much larger 😊..
While the recipes have been somewhat adapted to 'western' taste (I stand corrected though), happy to say that still maintained the richness and nuances of what the dishes are special for.
Service is excellent, everything came in within expectation with no one missing their order.
Recommended for those missing or willing to taste Malaysian, Indonesian and Singaporean (I understand its Singapore-owned) food in Perth.
