You can taste here small tapas-style dishes or larger main meals. The ingredients that are used in these dishes, particularly dessert, seem weird, but when you taste them they just are loaded with flavor.

7. Mamak

Mamak is an institution that is always lined up by many people eager to have a sample of their divine roti and curries. They also have a branch in Chatswood which is just as busy. My favorite here is their roti entrée.
