Came here a few times over the years & always enjoyed their authentic Malaysian & Indonesian dishes.View more
Their spring rolls were amazing & one of the best I have had. The other food we ordered were simply delicious. We enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. We hope this restaurant continues to serve Ottawa with authentic Malaysian cuisine.View more
Amazing food, customer service is great as well! The lady was so kind & sweet, but when they say spicy they mean SPICY!View more
Incredible Malaysian & Indonesian cuisine. You can tell they use very high quality spices in their food as the flavors just explode in your mouth with deep satisfaction. Plus of you like your food spicy, the Malaysian beef rendeng is a must try.View more
Chahaya Malaysia is an Ottawa gem. The food is always phenomenal. The freshness, quality & taste is unmatched. Soy chicken is always a must because it's simply the best. I love the curry chicken as well (amazing flavour & spices). Chicken satay is also a regular order for me here. Always have to finish it off with some teh tarik, the tea is sooooo delicious. I don't know what I'll do with myself when it goes 😭View more
This place was amazing, halal & owner is so friendly. From the outside it doesn't look like a place you would want to go but once you get on & try the food, it is all worth it.View more
We ordered a few items, shanghai noodles, home cooked chicken & lamb kurma. it was all surprisingly bland. The home cooked chicken was probably the best, but it was alright.View more
I went there 2 days ago for the first time with my husband & loved the food. We ordered mi goreng & it was delicious & chef's special chicken which was very spicy but just right amout of spice for me (atleast). We are so glad that we found a perfect halal spot for us to satisfy our cravings & we will be going back to try more dishes for sure inshAllah.View more
Delicious food, large portions, excellent service.View more
This can best be described as a hole in the wall, greasy spoon but those always have the best food. Nothing greasy on this menu. The spring rolls are the best in the province. Their traditional rice has an extra bit of love added to make it taste rich. The five star chicken has that sweet & you can add sazzy it you want, highly recommend the spicy version. The vermicelli rice either vegetarian or chicken have so much texture & flavour. We have yet to have a dish we haven't loved.View more
The restaurant was nice, but perhaps we arrived late as there were only a few customers. Food was not quite authentic malay or Asian & was average.View more
Best food in Ottawa! Delicious curries & authentic Malaysian spices. Friendly owners & excellent value! My goto for many many years..!
I do miss the Chai pulling at the table though. Highly recommended 👌View more
I'm Singaporean & my partner is Malaysian. We reside in Montreal & came to Ottawa for a weekend trip, & popped by Chahaya for a late lunch. We had the beef rendang, soto ayam, stir-fried vegetables, goreng pisang, teh tarik. The food is authentic & we enjoyed this taste of home so much! The restaurant lady boss & waiter both provided great service, & we will definitely visit again.View more
