I’ve been a few times — not bad. If you ever have a group and are looking for a place you know will be empty — Straits of Malaya is your place. The roof deck is nice, though a little run down. I would give it a 6 out of 10.

I agree with above – never have been disappointed, but kind of average. I loved this place when it was the African restaurant – the food was amazing.

This place is great! I’ve been a few times, and it’s always nice because there won’t be a long wait. Prices are good, food is really good, service was OK, but it’s the people you’re with that make it great anyway!

I’ve only been there once, but I remember enjoying the (veggie) dish that I had. The roofdeck is what will really lure me back there again once the weather is nicer. The service we had was kind of spotty, but it worked in our favor when the waiter forgot to charge us for the first round of drinks we bought — we left a generous tip!

Love the roof, love the food, service is sweet, friendly, and a bit slow, but overall, nice place, go eat there!

The food here is generally pleasant and reasonably priced. I’ve had numerous dishes here over the years. While all of them were at least good, none was ever a standout. Frankly, I prefer to eat inside in the main dining room; air circulation on the roof deck is not always good on warm days. An added plus on the weekends is looking at the mob scene congregate across the street at Lauriol Plaza (which has its virtues but is definitely not the type of place worth an hour wait.)

I love the food and the folks here. Also, agree with those who have said it’s a good group restaurant. Have had a few family gatherings that have gone well both because it’s never crowded and the staff are accomodating. I highly recommend.

i love the food here!!! the atmosphere…not so great, poor lighting and wall colors, but amazing food. very yummy and there’s never a wait much like lauriol across the street. the rooftop is pretty nice with a large tree as canopy.
