Love the way he cooks. Roti Chenai is a long time favorite from here! The food is freshly done, fast and tasty. The Nasi Lemak is also delicious. Feels like it was made in Malaysia!
Came here just today for lunch and to meet up with friends. I have been in the Food Junction before but never tried the Tastes Of Malaysia restaurant.
I ordered the Roti Canai with chicken curry. It took about 20mins to arrive which was quite reasonable as the roti was being freshly made.
My food had arrived but it actually wasn’t my food as it seemed to be a lamb curry instead of chicken. I went over to the counter and they quickly changed it to the right order. Seems to be a new staff member that is still getting the hang of everything but that didn’t seem to worry me too much.
My food was nice and hot and I dug straight in. The Chicken was so tender and moist and the roti went so well with the curry. I absolutely enjoyed my meal and was stuffed by the end of it. The service was normal and I didn’t expect too much from them.
Overall I really enjoyed my meal and my friends enjoyed what they had as well. This place is worth a try!
Best friedrice and chowmein. Both the chicken and vegetable friedrice and the soy based chowmein. Perfect size and in a food court environment.
4.5/5 actually
All their stir fry noodle dishes are great and authentic! Again, been there many times. Had a chicken curry once and went back to their stir fry noodles as it is I believe is what they are good at. Also the roti is nice too as it is the only two places in Auckland I can think of actually made their own roti. Uncle Man on K road been the other.
Another little gem in Manukau.
Try it!

Have been to this stall many times.
The chefs are a Malaysian Indian couple assisted by their children. Their Malaysian foods are authentic and taste good too. The husband chef is always friendly and he always looks enthusiastic and takes pride in his job as a chef cooking Malaysian foods. The wife and the daughters are not as friendly as the father though.
Tried their roti canai with chicken curry, mamak mee goreng, char mee, and char kuey teow, for quite a number of times.
The char mee and char kuey teow tasted flavourful with the charred essence. The mamak goreng was good too but sometimes tasted a little bit overly sweet.
The roti canai dough was very good, freshly made upon getting the order, and thus it was crispy on the surface with a softer texture inside. The chicken curry that came along with the roti canai tasted average, and the curry gravy was a little too diluted. The roti canai with chicken curry here would be a perfect dish if their chicken curry were more flavourful with thicker curry gravy.

my dad loves Malaysian food and 99%of the time we eat out, we eat Malaysian. this is by far the only place that I've been to with fresh made roti - looks just like how they make it in malaysia! if I feel like eating roti, this would be the only place I'd go to (I live out west so yes, worth the travels)
Don't be put off by someone's claim it "don't have enough flavor" One of the main things they ask you is "How spicy?"
Tell me somewhere else in New Zealand that you can find such fresh delicious roti?
I absolutely love food and Roti is one of my all time favorites.
I highly recommend getting B2 (Roti Telur -1 piece egg & onion filled roti) with the chicken curry, I get hot but people that can't handle spicy should stick with mild or medium. I always order an extra plain roti to eat there and two extra roti takeaway for next days breakfast (with a hot black tea & condensed milk)!
Communication can be hard but it is worth it!
The little Malaysian spot in the food junction is jist right to sit down for a quiet meal (not ao quiet when its peak lunch/dinner time). They Malaysian and south Indian dishes are very tasty. Espacially the beef rengang, fried rice and chop sui. Their roti canai so soft and delish!!
I’m a regular customer even though I live in West Auckland! I love love love their food. Esp N11! I always go for that.
The only problem is the guy who works there is sometimes a bit off with his customer service when they’re busy. However usually they’re all amazing :)
Would recommend 100%
This foodcourt is always busy during dinner time but from time to time will dropby to have the Malaysian char mee (fried noodles). The portion can varies as sometime you get less or more compared to other day. Overall, l do enjoyed the fried noodles.
As in any food court, nothing much to talk about the decor. I ordered Nasi Lemak. Taste is tasty, flavoursome. The only thing I don't really like is the portion size. For $14, I can get a bigger portion somewhere else. There are a lot if carpark.
The owner of this place is delightful - always working, always cheerful and always remembers my name!
I generally order my food to go and have only ever eaten in once. the Char Kuay Teow and Mamak Mee Goreng are my favourites. A friend of mine ordered the Malaysian Lamb curry which I tried a bit of and it was delicious.
Only minus points is probably the portion size in the relation to the price, could be a bit more generous.
Definitely worth checking out.
Had a Laksa. Taste ok presentation acceptable. However not spicy hot as requested. It is not a genuine laksa as I have eaten in other eateries. Rice noodle is not used. Lack of base ingredients as well. Lots of broth.
Over all not genuine Laksa rate 3.5 out of potential 10.

Price is quite reasonable $15ish for a dish. The price seems to keep increasing $1-$2 every year though. Always check your order as well, sometimes they can forget or charge you more when too busy. We love their food, especially their rotis but unfortunately the wait time is super long! Could get to 1 hour in busy times. My advice is to always call first before you pick up or you will go crazy waiting for so long while others around you nomming on all these yummies in the food court.
A really yummy find for such a casual location! This place is located in a food court that doesn't have the best ambience but this place has some delicious curry that takes me back to the streets of Singapore.
The roti was delicious. Freshly hot and was slightly crunchy (just how I like it). The curry lacked a bit of filling but the taste of the curry itself was jam packed with flavour! Me and my partner scraped the bowl clean. The only fault could only be found is that it was very oily and I couldn't get that top layer of oil to disappear.
4/5 due to location and excess oil. Would love it if it was in a better location - preferably in its own restaurant.
Right at the back of Food Junction run by a man from Ipoh, Malaysia. Very friendly staff and the food comes out without too long a wait. I recommend the Indian Malaysian dishes. The chicken curry is the best we know and a number of dishes can be made with it e.g. nasi lemak or roti canai. We drive up from Hamilton to visit this place.
Will drive out of our way to eat the roti telur (egg prata) with curry chicken, and to finish off with caramelised banana prata for dessert. Have been known to stop there after a 5km colour run, a 2 hr car test drive and a baby shower that went on too long. Consistently tasty.

At the end of the food court stalls, you can see an Indian uncle flipping roti canai that actually looks super authentic.
I can see that there are many mixed reviews for this place, so without having much expectation, I ordered my usual char kuey teow (still in search for the best), and to my surprise... It is on the top of my list!!!! Cheap at $11 with chicken and prawns (combination) and asking for extra spicy and it was perfect.
The uncle and staff were friendly too.
Service wasn't too bad and ambience, well you can't expect much from a food court. BUT I was surprised at how clean and spacious this food court is.
As mentioned, they make their own roti canai here! I was way too full so I'll be back to try that and write a review.
My experience here at 6pm on a Wednesday was quite a good one.

ROTI CANAI REVIEW
As I couldn't resist, I went back the next day and had roti canai with lamb curry, only because I've read some horrible reviews about it. I had it take away so I called beforehand to make my order.
My roti was fresh and still hot even though I went there quite late, it could have been slightly less chewy but wasn't too bad! I would go home and leave it on a pan a bit longer to get it crispy outside :p the lamb curry was not cold but it was hot and lamb was the right tender texture. Lots of curry to go with the roti canai and decent number of lamb pieces.
My friend is vegetarian and she was able to get vegetarian curry without onion and garlic. She was delighted and really enjoyed her meal.
If you are around Manukau and craving Malaysian, would definitely suggest this.
We have been here twice, and although it is not the loveliest place to buy food from, it is very tasty, and the owner is very passionate about what he does. We were re-assured that the vegetarian fried-rice and noodles along with the roti canai were all vegan. If you are looking for quick, cheap and yummy food, this is the place to go.
I've tried the combination char kuey teow here, and it is incredibly good. The man who runs the restaurant is also a really nice guy. I will definitely keep this place on my itinerary whenever I visit Manukau.
his would be the best Malaysian I have tried outside of Kuala Lumpur, and Penang. In fact the Char Kuey Teow would be equally as good as the best I had in Penang. My favourite place in Auckland for sure. Great cook, and friendly guy. Been going there for a while now on and off when in the area. Had the fish curry which was nice, but cant go past the Char Kuey teow :)
I need to try some of the other things next time, they all look and smell good.
Down the end of the food court, dont order anything else until youve been down to have a look :)
I loved it ❤️ ive been looking for a place that sell good Malaysian food, and i really like this place i normally takeaway it , Also alot of food.
I've tried a few of the dishes they have to offer, but in my opinion their CM5 (black pepper chicken) is out of this world. Highly recommend it.
Best food..and nice service
Suggu is a great cook with great personality!
Overall, the pace gets bit hot, ambiance wise but Malaysian Food offsets that I suppose.
This resturaunt is located in a little food hall/court. Which has a communal seating area. Just heads up that the parking lot cna get quite chaotic during mealtimes, and you might not get a parking spot easily. But among the other food stalls here, I really needed to have a laksa. It didn't disappoint. Was really hearty and filling and exactly what my tastebuds remember. The roti canai is deceptively larger than expected. Which I struggled to eat after having a bowl of laksa. But the flavours are on point, and I'm very happy.
Good food and fast service, definitely we'll visit again. The owner Brother Sugu very friendly and recommended to family and friends... missing some photos 😕
Had lunch at the Food Junction in Manukau. Food was delicious and hot. There's a few food outlet there. We also had Korean and Chinese food.
Love their roti canai. Roti was freshly made after customer had made the order. The man making the roti was nice, friendly and helpful. Will comeback again and again.
040923 First time, first day in NZ and niece takes us to Malaysian rest hahaha. Friendly chef Sugumaran from Perak. Noticed they have halal cert.
Had fried rice, noodles and roti canai. Niece paid so free for us Hahaha again, maaf le PkN datang jenjalan anak buah pulok blnje!
They serve by far the most authentic Malaysian food. Food is cooked fresh as they are super busy. Soku the owner chef is a magician when it comes to Roti Canai as he cooks it fresh right in front of you. His food is light, non greasy, aromatic, spiced with the perfect herbs and value for money. Obviously without bells and whistles as they are in a busy food court in Manukau.
Provide authentic Malaysian food with a friendly smile. But serve A bit slow when you are the one just put the order.
Try their Mamak Mee and Roti pisang the curry is great ❤️can’t wait to try the others next time . They are open later than 8pm.
Beautiful, unfiltered tastes of Malaysia. I highly recommend the stir fried noodles - lots of great wok heat flavor. Ask for medium spicy if you’re a spice lover!
I simply adore the chicken curry with roti canai from Taste Of Malaysia in Food Junction Manukau. It’s the best roti canai I have tried and the curry is always flavoured to preferred spiciness. I love dipping the bread into the very spicy flavoursome curry as it’s so delicious.
The owner is always so happy and cheerful and it’s always interesting watching him make the roti fresh with tossing the dough in the air to aerate and stretch out the bread to make it light and flaky. Highly recommended!
Char kuey teow made by Indian chef is very authentic. Better than a lot of Chinese ones. Don't forget to ask for extra spicy.
Quick service and friendly meal was flavorsome and arrived on a hot cast iron plate so stayed warm right throughout the meal very tasty!

Really enjoyed my fried flat noodles dish! I love malaysian food and this is one of my favourite spots! Thank you.
Best spot for Malaysian Roti canai. Made fresh and cannot be beaten for taste. Don't miss it.
My favorite place for laksa and Roti. Our family have been coming here for years we love it
Great food at a great price. The owner is a very nice and customer focused man, he ensures great service and great food. I will definitely return there on my next trip to New Zealand. Enjoyed my few visits to the place during this trip.
First time trying the sweet roti canai with banana. It is absolutely delicious! Sweet, buttery hot ans flaky.
Very upmarket.
Amazing watching roti being made by spinning it in the air.
These roti are made from high quality flour. Different from Indian roti.
Really love the egg roti with a mild curry.
Unless you like very very hot curry ask for mild! Its a Malay thing.
Very open to requests for special diet changes. Will tell you if a request can't be done. Favourite place.
