If you’re looking for great Malaysian food in Wellington, look no further than Istana Malaysia. They’ve been going for almost 30 years, and it’s easy to see why. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and the food tastes just as great now as it did all those years ago. The Beef Rendang & Char Kway Teow are absolute must-haves. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This restaurant provides halal menu. We had mamak lamb soup, rojak, mee curry and lamb martabak. All were tasty. Prices are reasonable considering that it is a fine dining restaurant. The owner is so friendly and considerate. Highly recommended, and I would definitely come again to this restaurant in my future visit to Wellington.
