“ Delicious and authentic Malaysian food in a warm and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant as a whole has a small and cute set up. I tried their very famous Nasi Goreng - I must say it amused me so much and is now one of my favourite go to dishes. I have also tried their Char Sui - topped with barbecue pork , Roti canai - the roti was crispy and well cooked and reminded me of the Malabari porotta, the curry served with it also tasted really good! Also tried the deep fried Wan Ton - a side dish that was soo yumm served almost x6 pieces. Trust me, malaysian cuisine has now secured a place in my top no.5 cuisines! NB : Editing the review as I’ve tried their Chicken curry with rice today, oh dear, it is soo amazing! And yes, had my all time favourite Nasi Goreng but with a twist - requested to make it more spicier and it was beyond words! So much better than the regular Nasi Goreng ! I highly recommend Kampong Ah Lee ”
“ This place was a real unexpected delight. Very busy inside, but quick service. Food was really excellent, had the char siu pork. Great value too, highly recommended. ”
“ Very delicious food, lots of options of spicy and non spicy dishes. Besides seafood and meat there are also plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Very friendly and caring staff. The space is cozy and compact. Better to book in advance, especially for large groups during busy times, but if only a few hungry people there should be space available anytime Visited a few times and would visit again! ”
“ Tasty comfort food and generous portions. I highly recommend the noodles. ”
“ Really delicious Asia cuisine, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great and the service is fine as well they recommend people like to try Asia cuisine to visit. ”
“ Homey Malaysian (and Chinese) cuisine in a cute space with lovely staff. After a previous bad experience at other SEA restaurants in town, I had my fingers crossed that this one would actually be good, and possibly even authentic. Thankfully, this place checked every box. For Scotland, this was excellent Malaysian food. And for good measure: it is run by Malaysian people. That's important for the kitchen. I was with someone who has a nut allergy so we didn't order all the dishes we would normally share like satays, but they accommodated her allergy very well. The rest of us got individual dishes, even with nuts. My other friend ordered the curry chicken on rice (I think) and I ordered the beef nasi lemak, as it's a favourite of mine. It was not the most sophisticated plating and I will never understand coloured rice, but it's simple and gets the job done. All the ingredients were there including the anchovies. So many places forget the fish! While it wasn't the most amazing plate of nasi lemak I've ever had, there was a charming homestyle feeling to it, like I was eating at someone's house instead of a bustling restaurant. Perhaps that was influenced by how kind the servers were. They were so amiable and treated us like close friends immediately. The milk tea and teh tarik were good too. And all the prices are quite reasonable for the quantity and quality you get. When we come back again, we'll definitely be having other dishes like the sea bass and spicy bean, the belacan kang kong, char keow teow, and satay. ”
“ My favourite go-to spot for Malaysian food in Edinburgh – absolutely delicious! The service is lovely too. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic flavours. ”
“ Delicious food here. We tried a curry laksa, Nasi Lemak, deep fried wonton, Roti and their milk tea. ”
