Sri Pinang

Fantastic place for lunch. Large portions and the mee goreng is to die for. Lovely owner. Love this place

I absolutely love and adore Malaysian food. Since coming up to Auckland from Wellington its hard not to finish every meal at a Malaysian restaurant and say “ Damn that was alright, but its no Little Penang though”. Sri Penang was one of the few places where I’ve actually refrained from using the the above phrase.

I had come as a group to celebrate one of the guys getting a job, and we also wanted a BYO place.

FYI just to be clear I still rate Little Penang better but Sri Penang is very close. In terms of where Sri Penang did well was their golden battered prawns and curries. The gueo teow was alright and the shrimp toast was a little disappointing we were expecting something a bit more interesting than fried prawn on crackers.

Overall though an enjoyable experience, great BYO spot and one of the better Malaysian eateries in Auckland.

Showstopper: Battered prawn and curries.

Overall Grade: B+

One of my absolute favourite places to go for lunch. The staff are wonderful, the food is exceptional and to make it better it’s so cheappp!!

The food was really delicious. We ordered BBQ pork, chicken curry and devilled chicken curry. Highly recommend devilled chicken curry, omg so good. BBQ pork was very tinder and flavourful. We thought curry will come with rice but nah you need order extra. The only thing that we think they need to improve is the serving speed. We waited for more than half an hour to get our curry.

They do have the traditional Malaysian food. Really well and with good atmosphere. Amazing interior and dining atmosphere. Service was very impressive. We would like to recommend highly.
