About Mamak Brisbane

Mamak delivers brisk Malaysian street food staples straight to Charlotte Street tables. The kitchen moves quickly, sending out flaky roti canai paired with dhal and rich sambal, followed by fragrant coconut rice alongside crisp ayam goreng and charred chicken satay. Diners scan QR codes at the table or order in person, while staff circle the dining floor offering extra scoops of curry and sambal to finish the bread. The meal rounds out over glasses of pulled teh tarik and bowls of shaved-ice cendol.

  • Dual Ordering Options: Diners choose between ordering via digital table codes or speaking directly with floor staff.

    Can safely say the roti canai is the best we've had in Australia and the satay is likewise excellent.

    Chicken satay is a very close second to the best hawkers in Georgetown.
