Popped in here on a Friday night. Slightly off the busiest areas in Melbourne, it wasn't hard to…read moreget a table. The service was very attentive, my server let me know I could do everything via QR or order with her. I ordered a lamb curry and some roti and just because I wanted to try it I also got 1 piece of the fried chicken. It was all really good, but honestly the chicken was the best part. Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly and just a little spicy. If I ever go back here I will probably go for the fried chicken meal. I had wanted to try one of the sweet roti options for dessert, but by the time I finished the chicken, roti and most of the curry, I had no room left for more.

The food was amazing! So much so that I wanted to go back the next day for lunch or dinner.

Flavor was outstanding and had my taste buds dancing throughout dinner. Service was friendly as well and they were honest about what dishes go well with each other.

One winter's eve when we couldn't get in to the overflowing New Flavour restaurant, we decided to…read moreventure next door to the Golden Tulip. Straight away you notice the difference - this place has made an effort with their decor! Specialising in Malaysian & Indonesian cuisine, the waitstaff at Golden Tulip are happy to help and recommend dishes. The menu is extensive, as with a lot of Dominion Rd eateries! With classics such as Char Kuey Teow, Mee Goreng, Beef Rendang and Nasi Lemak, the closest you'll find to a Laksa is Curried Laksa Noodles. We plumped for a Mongolian Beef hotplate, Assam Prawns and a Hainanese Chicken. Each dish was a very good example of it's type, without being mind-blowing. The prawns were particularly good; plump & juicy with loads of the salty, sweet Assam sauce. The servings were huge, so we ended up taking the leftovers home. Golden Tulip & it's close Dominion Road neighbours Cinta and Santhiya's are giving Malaysian food the reputation it deserves. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the menu!

This place came out in my search for Malaysian food around town. The pictures and the variety of…read morefood look pretty decent so I decided to check them out. I came here for lunch and got the mee goreng with kopi tarik. The food and drink came out pretty quickly. You can choose the spicy level of the mee goreng and I chose "spicy"; it came out exactly the way I hoped! The portion is good for one hungry (but not starving) person. It tasted good, reminded me of char kway teow but in noodle form. It came with lots of bean sprouts, chicken, 2 slices of fish cakes and 2 prawns. The kopi tarik is also decent. Taste-wise, I was a little surprised. It wasn't exactly the taste of kopi tarik that I'm used to, but it's not a bad taste. Overall a good place to get your Malaysian fix.

Instead of saying "What would like to order ?" . I felt like I was in a Malaysian version of Faulty Towers . The food is pretty good though and comes out pretty fast . You might question the cleanliness of here , but if you were going to that of every place you ate you'd probably never eat out again . I went for my fave Malaysian dish of char tieou kewey , lots of flavour and while not a patch on Selera still very good . This place gets very busy with families and I think it's a great place to bring kids for a intro to Malay cuisine .

The Chef was very accommodating, but his new waitress did not know the menu and had a hard time with the Malay words. In the end our order did make it through. The portions are not big like most of the other Malaysian restaurants. But what it lacked in quantity was made up by the good quality food. I would recommend this place not so much for authentic Malaysian food but rather for a finer twist on the otherwise street food; likewise, it is considered pricey for its portions.
