“ The food was average, service is good, the price is fair. The place is busy for a rainy week night. ”
“ By far the best Nasi Goreng we’ve tried in Melbourne. Roti is delicious but personally prefers it to be crispier. Chicken satay is flavourful. Enjoyed dining in the spacious and clean environment. ”
“ Roti Road at Footscray authentic Malaysian food in Melbourne, recently they changed their menu added new food like tum yam fish and much more delicious food great service and atmosphere are amazing, ”
“ Roti has to be one of my all-time favourite snacks. And as many of you know, I’m a big fan of Malaysian cuisine—think noodles, tofu, rich sauces, and steaming bowls of rice. But a great roti? Now that’s harder to find. I’m always on the hunt for that perfect balance: crispy on the outside, soft and stretchy inside—but never doughy. #RotiRoad in Footscray has nailed it. Their roti is a plate-served marvel—golden, flaky layers that have been folded and stretched again and again before hitting the hot griddle. It arrives warm, crisp-edged, and served with a side of light dahl, curry, and fish sauce. The combination is simple but deeply satisfying and exactly the kind of comfort food you want on a chilly Melbourne day. Big thanks to the staff for the friendly service!
