Welcome to Macha, Jom Tapau!, where the vibrant flavours of Malaysia come alive in Wellington. Our café brings you a delightful selection of classic Malaysian dishes, each one crafted with the finest fresh and high-quality ingredients.

Our take

“I love that their roti canai is affordable ($7) and comes with dal and sambal, just like I have it in Malaysia. However, the roti itself doesn't hit the spot. It has pandan in it (I adore pandan but I don't really know why they've added it to the roti) and it doesn't have the fluffy crispy layers that the best roti canai has.

There also wasn't enough sambal but that's just my taste and it's so cheap that I'm definitely not complaining!

I'll probably go back to try more from the menu as there's signs that it's authentic, so I'm intrigued.”
