  “First time trying out Malaysian cuisine - i loved it! Went there on a monday evening and the place filled up super fast so prebook your table if you’re going with a group of 3 or more people, i think! Menu is pretty big and each dish is well detailed. The food itself is banging (we got 3 different dish mee goreng/nasi goreng/ and another one) and serving sizes are great. Definitely fill you up! Prices are good given the quality & food youre getting. Will defo be going back! (Put 3 stars for atmosphere because it can get pretty loud inside if the place is full)”

  “We ordered the nasi lemak with chicken rendang, fish curry, and ayam goreng which were all really tasty. The chicken rendang was well seasoned and had a nice texture and the fish curry was incredible. The ayam goreng was nice and crispy but could have been a little bit more flavourful. Thankfully we had warm enough clothing as they had left the door open to let fresh air in but made the dining area quite cold which I could see made some customers feel chilly. The owner was quite friendly, making sure every table had what they ordered and also took time connecting with some of the guests and even offered to make one of the customer’s order on the house as it wasn’t to their taste. It felt like the person serving us though was rushing us as he was tapping his fingers by his leg when it came to paying the bill despite the restaurant not being busy. There were other customers still in the restaurant so it’s not like we were the last customers delaying them being able to close so I felt that was a tad bit of a let down. Anyway overall the food was good so it’s definitely a place I would like to go back to.”

  “Absolutely loved our meal at Sambal! It’s one of Manchester’s best spots for authentic Malaysian flavors. The service was friendly and the place has a cozy, modern vibe. We ordered the Nasi Lemak with chicken rendang and the sambal was spot on – rich, spicy, and so fragrant. The Char Kway Teow had perfect wok hei and came loaded with prawns and chicken. My favorite was the Roti Canai with dhal and curry – flaky, crispy, and perfect for dipping. Portions are generous and the prices are fair for the quality you get. Finished with a Teh Tarik that was smooth and not too sweet. If you’re craving real Malaysian food in Manchester, Sambal is a must-try. Can’t wait to go back for their Laksa!”

  “The food was delicious and very good value for money. The staff were so friendly and attentive, especially after I had a bit of a spill. There aren’t many seats, so it’s best to book in advance.”

  “Really good experience, especially due to the company. I had missed Malaysian food since going and coming here brought back memories (I think they even imported some mosquitoes into the restaurant to really sell it!) Very cute family run business and food is cooked well. Try the coconut rice + anything.”

  “Cosy restaurant, very authentic Malaysian food. My favourite was the rendang and roti with the curry. My least favourite was the char kway teow as it was very salty and the flavours were way too overwhelming.”
