Reviews


Omah's Malaysian restaurant in Hawthorn offers a unique and above average Malaysian dining experience in Melbourne. While some diners were disappointed by the closure of the restaurant, those who were able to dine at Omah's enjoyed a variety of Malaysian dishes, including the highly recommended crabs. The chili crab was flavorful, although the texture of the crab meat was not consistent for all diners. The beef rendang was tender, but some found it a bit sweet for their taste. The restaurant's staff was kind and accommodating, offering complimentary items and discounts when necessary. Overall, the Malaysian cuisine at Omah's was well-received by patrons who appreciated the ambiance, location, and friendly service. The signature crabs, especially the salted egg crab, were highlighted as a must-try for those visiting the restaurant. While some recommended sticking to the crabs as the standout menu item, others found additional dishes like the coconut prawn and roti bread to be delicious as well. The cozy and classy atmosphere, combined with attentive service, made Omah's a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations. Ultimately, the fresh and flavorful crustaceans at Omah's left diners satisfied and eager to return for more, Omah's Malaysian Cuisine usually has an average rating of 3.4.
