1st time dining there and it was really nice, dim lighting (romantic) � food was so delicious and soooo much of it. Took home a doggy bag enough for another meal.
Will definitely be eating there again, price pretty good too.
Quite busy for a Tuesday night.

Reminds me of food from back home. Service is great and food is better than Papa Rich.
Ordered yin yeong and nasi lemak for lunch takeaway. The lady said they make a bihun in a bird nest shape and pack it nicely in a separate bag. When I open the containers surprised to see there's also hor fun in the egg sauce. Thought it will be greasy with the fried bihun but it's not, surprisingly very light. The sauce is also just nice, not salty as you would have tasted at other places. Will be back to try their other specials.
Excellent service by Shirley. Her customer service with our group as well as others was exceptional; she takes the time to engage with customers and knows her regulars well. The presentation of some food items were also interesting, such as the hor fun. We found the food tasty. As the restaurant is quite small I have been told that they do chase you out during the lunch rush but we were lucky that it was quiet today. Price wise they are a bit on the higher side compared to other similar restaurants in the area.
Had dinner here last night with a friend after not having dined here for more than a year even though I live just 5 mins away. Was very impressed that the food quality has definitely improved over the past year. Will definitely be back. Food is very authentic Malaysian .. well done Shirley
Always busy! Lots of Malaysians come here so you know it's good.
Lady at the register is very friendly, still made conversation with me even though the restaurant was frantic.
10/10 one of the most authentic Malaysian restaurants you can find in Melbourne.
Wow, I was in the area and dropped by for takeaway lunch and the food was really good! I got the beef fried hor fun (flat rice noodles) and the taste was amazing - a good wok taste, nice ginger flavour (which is not that usual for this dish but it worked well), beef was tender and delicious. And at $9.90 for the lunch special it was totally worth the money.
Staff were casual and friendly. Food was out quick as well - I probably only waited for 5 minutes at most. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area again.
FAST Food Review
Food: Always tasty especially the Cinta 138 = Black Pepper Chicken or Beef with Rice. The assortment of Malaysian desserts like Gandung, Bubur Chacha and my personal favourite Sago Pudding are Yum! - 4/5
Ambience: Comfy atmosphere with lighting and music to match - 4/5
Service: Shirley is always very welcoming and remembers customers by name and our favourite dishes. Plus you’ll get sold the odd Mooncake or Takeaway dessert while you’re there - 4/5
Total: Can’t fault the Food, Ambience or Service - 12/15
I'm a regular here for Mi Goreng, they do it properly with the right mix of bits and pieces. Good service, good prices. I sort of just kept going here after it changed from the small Sushi cafe run by Sam (?) to the current Restaurant. Has a really good selection of dishes, all prepared authentically. Mi Goreng is my go-to but I also enjoy the Nasi Lemak and Char Kuay Teow from Cinta Raya.
The fourth time I have eaten at this restaurant and have never been disappointed.
We had a table for 11 and a big spread of food including calamari, fried rice, chicken, beef, satay sticks.
Really enjoyed the food as usual. The restaurant is a little bit cramped and noisy but this is also part of its character. Service was great as usual.
Will definitely return when I am on this side of town again.
Cinta Raya is a hidden gem in Scoresby. Having been there twice now, we have been really impressed both times. On this visit I really want to call out the absolutely wonderfully fresh fish dish in Soy sauce. Beautifully cooked firm and tender and fresh fish.
Everything else was very good too and the service is first rate.
An extremely busy place, it is quite small so plan ahead when you want to go.
If you go there, look for Shirley! She will happily tell you what's best and recommend dishes to suit your preferences. What a lovely person!
Value for money is excellent too.
Hkghly recommended!
Small restaurant tuck away next to Safeway. Good long menu to choose mostly anything you want from a Malaysian restaurant. Our group tried Hainanese chicken rice with boneless chicken, Char Hor Fun and Salted fish Fried Beehoon. Every dish was very nice especially the beehoon which got the 'wok hei' taste. Will definitely go back again when visiting relatives over there.
Update: I am addicted to food in thus restaurant! Best Malaysian ever!!!
Thanks, Shirley and boys!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trying out this place despite remarks of bad service attitude. It seems to be the norm for chinese older generation to speak a bit more brusquely. The lady was answering the phone, cleaning, serving, taking orders - all by herself. I can understand her “grumpiness”.
She was actually quite motherly towards us, suggesting the 4 Heavenly Kings to accompany our order of Nyonya barramundi. They were both delicious. I couldn’t stop tucking into the okra, brinjal, petai and long beans. Barramundi was cooked to perfection and went so well with the nyonya style gravy.
I absolutely recommend this place to those who want to try authentic Malaysian cooking. Shirley is lovely.
Seems their signature dish is Hainanese chicken Rice. Will try another time, cos I’ll be back!
It's a very good day. Good chat with Shieley about her business. Food retail is tough. Glad that they are doing well. Nice Haninese chicken rice. It is their classic signature dish.
Reasonably priced for a quick Malaysian fix! Food came out in 15 minutes. I ordered the roasted hainanese chicken rice which was not bad. The soft shell crab was good though! Overall the meal was satisfying. By the time we finished the restaurant was full of people so make sure to book ahead.
The best laksa in Australia.. all their food is fantastic, such a great place to eat …. Totally my favourite
Made a booking for 4. Arrived at the Restaurant. Given a terrible table near the kitchen. Not happy.
However the Hostess was able to turn it around. Shifted our table. AND experienced delightful food and service. Will return soon.
