Malaysian Delight

Given the reviews, I was excited to try Malaysian Delight. I was rather disappointed. Firstly, immediately upon entering I was brusquely told ‘cash only’. This was mumbled so fast, I had to ask for it to be repeated. I wouldn’t normally eat at places that are ‘cash only’ as it screams ‘tax evasion’ or ‘money laundering’ to me. It was late and I was hungry so I asked to be seated anyway. My basic goreng was distinctly unremarkable. I’ve travelled a few times to Malaysian and Indonesia and this was not particularly close to the nasi goreng I’ve had time and time again. Perhaps it’s been adapted for the Brummie palate but it was still disappointing. It was, in fact, more like a Chinese style special fried rice. Everything was fine but it’s unlikely I’d eat here again.

Found this nice little restaurant. Nothing flashy but lovely food. It was busy throughout the day so we thought we'd have dinner. And glad we did. Extensive menu, however reading Malaysian might help, lol. Oh and generous portions. We would of ordered less if we'd have known.

Such a great find!! The food was exceptional, service quick, and vibe was really nice and relaxed. I'll absolutely be coming here again when I get the craving for banana fritters!

The food is always amazing every time we come. This time we had the special homemade tofu. Absolutely stunning. Also the Nonya chicken was delicious. We keep coming back.

All dishes are served hot enough, delicious and authentic. Highly recommend the salt and pepper squid. Clay pot rice is lovely. We will be back again!

Malaysian Delight has always been my favourite Malaysian restaurant in Birmingham before Malaya Classic opened. In addition to their excellent Malaysian cuisine, their Cantonese dishes are also outstanding, such as the roast meats. Their laksa is delicious too. We had a larger group today, so we ordered several small dishes to share, some of which I hadn't tried before, like the braised platter. It would have been even better if it came with vinegar. Everything else was consistently good, and the service at this restaurant is exceptional - polite and attentive waitstaff. Highly recommended.

Nice food and environment. The staff were very friendly.
