MyMakan in Norwich

It was a great experience, the starters were good and the main course was delicious.

Very tasty food, and plenty of vegan choices

First time here and it was great. Food, service, vibe. Will be back.

Delicious food and a wonderful welcome from all the lovely staff including Isaac.

Can't fault it, delicious food, friendly staff. Such a nice atmosphere. And they have plenty of gluten free options too!

Mustafa service and Isaacs food was incredible Masha Allah. I will definitely return.

The waiters were very nice the food was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic

Had a lovely meal with good service from Mustafa and Robi. Thank you

Mustafa provided excellent service.

Great food. Mustafa was very friendly and good knowledge of the menu

Excellent service from Mustafa on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We had a share platter and the food was amazing - each curry and sauce unique and layered in rich flavours. Lots of vegan options as well. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing food! Lovely authentic flavours. My mum who is Malaysian approves too which can't be a bad thing!

Are you craving the flavors of Malaysian curry? If so, this is the perfect spot for you! Experience refreshing mocktails, exceptional service, and a touch of spice in a beautiful and Malaysian-inspired ambiance. It’s the only place in Norwich that offers non-alcoholic hard drinks. Warm up this winter with a burst of spices—a must-try! 🇲🇾

Coming from London, where everything is expensive, this place served portions so big and so juicy for the price of a small meal in the capital. I am a goody, but I have never been served food so good and such a "mother portion" that it has left me feeling full, satisfied, and unable to eat more. The servers are amazing and passionate about their career. You can taste the love and passion of the chef in the roti. You can feel the homely vives in the warm environment. I would more than recommend this place for everyone.

My Makan Norwich offered an outstanding food and services. The food is halal certified. The staff is friendly. We felt so warm and welcome. We are so delightful to have our makan time in My Makan Norwich. Will definitely be back to any of its branches in the UK.

Was my first time trying Malaysian food and asked for some recommendations. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavour and the staff were very friendly! I had a curry with lemung rice and roti with daal. I also tried some meat free satay.

Mufasa was a wonderful waiter and the food was lovely. The drinks made by Jasmine were great too

I haven't tasted Malaysian cuisine for over 30 years I was looking forward to our meal & wasn't disappointed. Was made excellent recommendations & all of the food was rich & delicious. Already planning on visiting again. Can recommend the sharing main course

The food and drinks were absolutely delicious with great recommendations from our waiter mustafa :)

Lovely people, lovely food. Perfect birthday meal!

Amazing food, hosts (Mustafa) and atmosphere. Will be back!

Ridiculously long wait. Nobody should need to wait 45mins for a plate of Nasi Lemak to be served. Heard similar complaints of long wait time from the tables around us as well.

Mustafa, Isaac, and Ravi were all excellent tonight - they took great care of us, it's a new favourite restaurant in Norwich.

Lovely place. Food is tasty, quality coupled with excellent customer service. Mustafa explained us about the food as well. It is something that I never see in other restaurants.

Mustafa was amazing! Lovely food

Great restaurant with really good Malaysian food. Friendly staff made us very welcome

Staff so friendly and food absolutely delicious. Very authentic food. The staff and management make sure you are happy and check on you frequently

Fab food as always, by far the best Malaysian food outside of Malaysia. Ravi, the waiter was great. 👍🏻

It was a a great experience with delicious food. The waiter Mustafa was really nice, friendly with great service. The bartender Jamilia also made the best drinks.

The food and service was quite nice as well as my first visit. The waiter Mustafa was quite friendly and we could enjoy the atmosphere. The Chai that i had made by Jamillia was very nice as well.

Lovely food and great service will definitely come again. Thank you Mustfa

Great food great service from Mustafa

Mustafa and Ravi were very accommodating. Food & service was really good & they made the birthday dinner special. Thank you!

Really good food and very hospitable, welcoming service by Mustafa and Ravi! Made my birthday dinner very pleasant and enjoyable.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Mustafa, our waiter, was amazing—he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was brilliant, with authentic Malaysian flavours that exceeded our expectations.

Had to visit when I was in Norwich visiting family. The food was so good, and tasty. A memory of Malaysian food. Friendly service to.

Really lovely meal with great service from Musafa and Ravi, lovely flavours, not too spicy but a nice kick. Interesting concept for 0% drinks menu.

Mustafa served us and service was great and so was the food

Mustafa and Ravi were fantastic hosts, the food was amazing.

Delicious food. Very good atmosphere.

Lovely environment, good food and service by Mustafa & Ravi.

The food is excellent. I loved it so much that I ordered a Mix Platter Main and a Prawn Fritter starter. To be honest, I am crazy about food and just wonder how chef can cook delicious food like that. 😋😋😋 The staffs ‘Ravi’ and ‘Mosafa’ were enthusiastic also. They cared about us they mention when we had no more water and then served it 😊.

Great food. Timing is a bit slow but food was class

Amazing waiter so attentive and recommended great food

Amazing food! Mustafa the waiter was great!

First time visiting and the waiter called Mustafa greeted us with amazing service and the food was delicious from the beginning. Definitely worth it and will go back soon. Will recommend this restaurant to everyone!!

My wife and I ate here while on a weekend getaway. The food is well prepared and timely. The service is thoughtful. I would definitely recommend.

very poor service, misleading menus, and bland main courses and zero atmosphere. a great shame because it has a lot of potential.

Visited Norwich and thought would try out the restaurant. Ordered a take out, it was brisk. However, when I got back and took out what was in the carrier bag, I was completely disappointed by what I saw. See photo for proof. I paid £13.90 for it. taste was ok but the price is daylight robbery! Never again. Luckily I didn’t order more. Just seen another review from one year ago of the same meal with 5-6 pieces chicken. I will aim to go back to the restaurant for a refund. Update post initial review: As we had not managed to fit in a trip back to Norwich, I have written in to MyMakan admin regarding the above issue and requested a part refund. I received a prompt response from Management as follows: ________________ Thank you for taking the time to email me and highlight this to me. I have spoken with the Chef and it seems that it was an oversight. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and will give you a refund. I appreciate that you felt short changed but as it was a mistake from our side rather than intentionally done. ________________ I have since received a full refund for the meal; I changed the review to 3.5 stars (cant do half star) for management prompt handling of the issue.

This is honestly one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Bland, deep fried load of rubbish, service was slow and our food came out separately. The only thing that had any flavour was the satay sauce. Hardly any drinks on the menu were available. The place itself was filthy, which is ironic considering they had mops and cleaning products stacked up in the restaurant. When we complained at the end of the meal we were offered a £1.79 discount which I just thought was insulting. One of those experiences where I wish I’d trust my gut and walked out as soon as we walked in. The serving staff were nice so I can’t fault them there, but I can’t see the place lasting 6 months from what I saw tonight.

Perfect, the food is great from MyMakan

Absolutely amazing food, true to the flavours you'd get eating in a food court in Malaysia. Everything was beautifully presented and was an amazing treat. The curry flavours were perfectly balanced with a little bit of heat and the meat itself was moist and tender. Would definitely visit again.

Food was absolutely delicious, ambiance was great and staff is super friendly! Absolutely would recommend

This place is wonderful. The food is delicious, perfectly spicy, the portions are generous and the staff is sooo friendly. Totally recommend for a friend’s night. Perfect if you’re hungry and looking for something flavorful and different. 10/10.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal full of flavour, texture, and authentic ingredients. Our server was friendly and attentive and recommended several dishes to try. If I were to be picky, I'd say the dal was slightly over-seasoned, and the Chicken Rendang didn't require four thighs, three would have been plenty. But that is being picky as everything was so delicious and you can't complain about big portions, can you?!? I'll be returning shortly with my girlfriend. Another meal here is something I'm already looking forward to. This is a wonderful restaurant with amazing food and I will highly recommend this place to my friends, family, and customers.

The service is really nice. However food is not upto the mark. I understand you want to mild down everything according to british taste. But really it had almost no taste. We ordered beef rangdan and it tasted really bad it was way too sweet to be honest. We also order the lamb curry as well. This was also not good. The only thing good was the starter roti canal. Having said all of these thing I really liked their service. Finally the glasses and cutlery smelled like egg which I thing was the worst.

Food was tasty and big portion worth for money. I ordered iced milo and pulled milk tea. They're lovely. Staffs are friendly.

Really lovely spacious restaurant. The food is so delicious! I had the roti and chicken curry starter and rendang curry, both were incredible! Staff were so lovely and even gave us a free dessert which was also absolutely delcious! We will most definitely be back!.

good food, very authentic, NO ALCOHOL on the premises which I didnt know about and not obvious on their website either, atmosphere was very quiet.

Delicious, authentic Malaysian food and warm, friendly staff. Can't wait to make it my regular go to restaurant!

This is a gem of a restaurant, the food is authentic and delicious. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and they do a great lunch offer. The food is freshly prepared and delicious, we have enjoyed everything we have tried off the menu and keep coming back to try more. The roti canai with chicken curry or dahl is amazing, could it eat it every day. Would highly recommend.

Fab authentic Malaysian food. Absolutely delicious!

I loved this place. The service was excellent, really friendly and helpful, and the flavours were excellent. The portion sizes were just right for me as well. Nice chilled atmosphere as well. Be aware it is alcohol free, but the drinks are excellent if you try something new and Malaysian!

Went here yesterday with some friends and it was lovely!! Absolutely amazing food with really friendly customer service. Definitely recommend!! I ordered the Roti Canai for starters, the Nasi Kerabu for main and the Banana Fritters for dessert (and Bandung x2 - best drink ever.)

So lovely, we hadn’t had Malaysian food before and the server was very kind and gave us all of her recommendations!! Would highly recommend :)

Really enjoyed our meal Portions generous and tasty Price reasonable Will be back!

Excellent food and service and great vegan options too.

Such a wonderful place the staff was so lovely and the food was amazing! Definitely coming back!

Really authentic wonderful Malaysian food. We lived in KL for 2 years so we should know! Excellent value as well. Wide range of alcohol free drinks which makes a nice change. If you’re worried about how spicy the food is just ask and they can advise you. We will be back!

Really enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended

Was in Norwich for couple of hours joined my Husband as he have a meeting there so had a chance to wander around the city centre. Then I saw the name My Makan which I knew straight away it is an Asian Restaurant. My Makan serves authentic Malaysian food. I ordered Nasi Kandar. Which was lovely and tasty. Good presentation was good, pretty, clean and colourful. Leya was wonderful and smiley. Overall I am happy. Will be back when visiting Norwich again. Lois, Colchester

We heard about this restaurant from our friends who visited last year and we made a one-day trip to Norwich to try it. Yes - that's how passionate we Malaysians are when it comes to food. Aside from badminton, eating is our best favourite national sports. The food is flavorful and the ambience is lovely. We had Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang, Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah, and Pasembur. I also had the Teh Tarik which is served hot - just what I love. I believe the ingredients are locally sourced so it'd be unfair to compare with what my taste buds grew up with. This is good enough for me. It was a truly authentic experience for us overall as we arrived slightly after lunch hours and had the peace and quiet to savour our food at our own sweet time and it totally felt like eating and catching up at the mamak except in a less sweaty, less noisy, and more cozy environment. It felt like home.

Good food, good dessert. Excellent customer service.

This is a great place to eat with family or friends! Authentic Malaysian food served in a timely manner. Staff are friendly and helpful! Don’t forget to bring your blue light card for discount!

Friendly staff, good service,great food

Me and my family had a great experience at MyMakan this afternoon. We were greeted by a lovely host Lia who was extremely helpful and very welcoming. The food was was great!!! And the portions were more than adequate!!! We left full up and more than happy, very nice flavours very tasty food, thank you! We definitely going back!

One of the nicest places i’ve eaten in norwich with the best desert ever (the banana fritters). The staff were so kind and helpful and just lovely to chat to. I can’t wait to go back and eat there again! :)

Always have our usual the king prawn rice noodles but why do you have to hide the prawns underneath the rice noodles?! That is instead strange, usually they are placed on top but it’s hidden underneath the noodles?! Of course you give us hard and small king prawns (you indeed cannot give customers these kind of prawns) the price is £14.5 already that’s expensive and high, why are you serving these kind of prawns. (My mum was an owner of a restaurant before she now retired) The rice noodles is not even soft texture when we eat it like hard to chew and dry, it should be soft. The food was cold it should be steam hot when it coming out! You gonna try the food first before saying there something wrong 😑 then re-cooked, your not going to know by looking at it (this was the first time the presentation look bad, other times it’s not that bad)

Great food, tried there first time with couple of other friends. Love the dishes. Excellent service as well.

came down from cambridge, exploring norwich and found this shop. very nice place. good food for asian food lovers and very lovey staffs. great experience would recommend

This was our second visit to this restaurant - the food is so delicious and the service was wonderful so we will be back again as soon as we can! We had roti and dal and salt & pepper tofu to start with, both were fantastic. We both had randang curries for the main, the subtle coconut flavour of the rice worked really well with the mild spice in the dish. There are both vegan and meat options so it didn't feel like a compromise. There is no alcohol served, but we didn't feel we missed out as they have lots of alcohol free wine, beer and spirit options as well as soft drinks. There are also plenty of pubs around for a pre- or post-dinner drink. We feel so lucky that Norwich has a Malaysian restaurant, it is a nice change from the usual standard options.

First time eating here and so glad we did! The food was wonderful rich in flavour, tasty and delicious. We had starters and then shared the three curry platter for mains it was more than enough food and we actually took some home. The rendang curry and rotis were a highlight. Also, big shout out for a fantastic non alcoholic drinks menu that had so much choice. Usually as someone who doesn’t drink there is only an option of cola but this had a wide selection of soft Malaysian drinks, non alcoholic mock tails, wines and spirits. It was such a treat! Fab food and this was an extra bonus! Will definitely be returning

Had a fantastic dining experience here. Pleasantly surprised at how expansive the menu was without relying on typical obvious dishes as I am someone who enjoys trying new dishes. Bold flavours and depth. Stunning desert. Will definitely be back.

Me and my boyfriend have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time. We really enjoyed the food, the staff were very friendly and the restaurant is very beautifully decorated. The waitress who served us was very knowledgeable and helped us choose what to eat and drink. We look forward to coming again soon and trying out the desserts!

Excellent food and value for money

Excellent food. Have visited thrice. Will surely visit and order different dishes. Would highly recommend it to everyone.

Food is excellent but service needs improving

We visited this restaurant due to it having vegan options on many of the mains. The service was wonderful, staff helpful and friendly, and food arrived quickly. The menu is labelled with a 🌶️ to denote how hot a dish is. I chose a noodle dish with no symbol, but it was still quite hot for me, however, the flavour was very nice. I had the banana fritters afterwards, which were totally amazing, light and crispy. Planning to go again very soon.

Starters where restricted in availability they were not very appertising very bland. main course nice presentation prawns were tough either reheated not good quite expensive for the quality would never visit again apologies but very disappointed

Really enjoyed the meal. Good portions for the prices. Very tasty food. Loved the sambals and dips on the side, made eating a bit like playing russian roulette with your taste buds but very tasty.

Not my taste. Roti was all right, but chicken in the curry seemed like cheap cuts 😕 Noodles were too rich with dark soy sauce or something, it was overpowering. Salad is unseasoned. The soup vegetables were mostly onion. The seafood tasted frozen to be honest 🤨. The “tomyam” tasted okay, just simple. All very so-so for me and so not worth the price tag. No skewers on the weekend, quite bad not to have a popular item you easily stock. Can you put pictures on the menu. Few will know what Malaysian dishes look like, it makes deciding take longer.

1st visit to Norwich and stumbled upon this by accident. Loved the entrance with memories of Malaysia. The decor is very authentic right down to the type of picture in the toilet. As it was unintended we chose a quick set lunch spring rolls and nasi lemak and some roti canal. The set lunch is quite reasonable £12.99 for a small starter main and a drink. The food arrived along with a tea tarik. Spring rolls were fine nothing to get excited about. The nasi lemak was well received by the wife. Very impressed with the tumeric fried chicken. Roti was fluffy and a spicy chicken curry. It has a better feel then some Malaysian restaurants which pay little attention to decor just felt more welcoming. Shame one in leeds closed down sometime ago. Well worth checking out.

Food was great. Both starters and mains. Reasonable price, will be returning.

Service was a bit slow and clunky but food was great. Nice spot of tranquility in the busy city centre.

This is a great new(ish) addition to the Norwich scene. The midweek set lunch is delicious and fantastic value. Hope to investigate the extensive menu more soon. Great service as well.

Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was nice, chill. Lots of plants too! Lots of Vegan options on the menu. Staff were lovely. Was very full after all the delicious food! Would definitely go again.

I do not know why people have written such a bad review here. As my experience was not bad. One review that confused me was the one that said the staff were friendly, and the food was great but because of the lack of hospitality, and no manager around it doesn’t come to your expectations you give them 2 or 3 stars. (I can’t remember which star was it). That is not fair to them I think. It is like most of you here, your expectations here is to expect them to be 5-star restaurants. Are they? I didn’t realize if they were supposed to be one. As for my personal opinion, when I go for a standard restaurant, as long as the food is great, the staff is friendly, the place is clean then it ticks all of my boxes. But maybe that is just me? I could be just easy to please? 😅 For the owner, here is my honest review. Your place has potential but please do improve in a few areas as I want to see you succeed! 1. I do agree the waiter seems to be a little bit inexperienced. In my experience, for a short moment, he seems confused about what ayam goreng is. That’s when I knew he was not Malaysian. As any Malaysian would know what ayam is 😅 He seem young so does not seem confident. But that’s ok, he is polite and friendly, give them a chance to grow. I do agree with some comments here tho, a waiter needs to be knowledgeable of the food so they can explain to customers when being asked. 2. Food-wise, I only tried rendang, lemang, roti canai, nasi lemak, karipap, and bubur pulut hitam. I think the food is great because I have come with an open mind to not have high expectations as there is no way you will get an authentic taste as you are in Malaysia. But as a Malay myself, and my English husband who has tasted many rendang before, the rendang does not taste like rendang? so I do not know how to feel about the rendang and the nasi lemak taste a bit dry and cold. But other than that, I found the food was better than I would expected! My husband love the karipap, very well done and I find the roti canai seems to be fluffy and crispy. And my ayam rempah did tasted like home! 3.But here the not so positive review, what I found not ok is the toilet bin is full. I have worked in hospitality, and other than food, I always feel cleaniness is very important. The restaurant does not seem busy, and there is no excuse for the toilet bin to be full until tissues are filled to the top. That was just not a nice sight to see when you stepped into the toilet. When your front does not seems clean, people will wonder about what is happening at the back too. I will come again to try more food and I rates you 5 stars as I do think you have potential to be great!do not be discouraged by the negative review here. Keep on improving please 🙏🏼

The food here is truly delicious and we will come back again for this amazing Malaysian cuisine. The Vegan options are AMAZING and we struggled to choose because everything sounded so good. However, the service was lacking. I think maybe the restaurant was understaffed when we visited; as we waited 20 minutes before we got a drink and my food arrived 10 minutes before my partner's food both with the starters and the mains, meaning mine was cold by the time his arrived. The staff were very pleasant and they apologised strongly for the long wait we had. As I said, we will come back for the food and just hope the wait isn't as long next time 🙂

The menu looked lovely (we’re vegetarian) so I took my daughter here for a celebratory meal. It was fairly empty when we arrived at 5.30 (maybe 2-3 tables of people) but after nearly 15 minutes no-one had come over to the table to see if we even wanted a drink. The front desk person was just there, on their phone. We felt ignored, so we left. Don’t know what the food is like, but the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Visited @ 5.30 on. Friday with family. Whilst the food was good it was an exercise in the importance of a management presence in hospitality. The staff were pleasant and friendly but clearly inexperienced and untrained and no sign of an experienced manager in sight : leaving what should have been a simple meal out into a frustrating and overly long exercise which detracted from the food and ensured we’d be unlikely to re visit . MyMakan - it’s the whole experience and not just the food upon which you’ll be judged and ultimately succeed….. or fail . Disappointed.
