“ It’s such a joy to find authentic Malaysian flavours here in BirminghamI was genuinely touched by the taste. I especially recommend the Fish Head Vermicelli Soup, Yu Xiang Eggplant with Rice, Claypot Rice, and Hainanese Chicken Rice. Recently, they’ve also introduced a variety of new drinks, all made with real ingredients and definitely worth trying. My little one insists on having the Yu Xiang Eggplant with Rice at least once a week it’s truly a favourite for both adults and kids alike! On top of that, the interior décor is really unique and full of character, which makes dining here even more enjoyable. ”
“ Superb food in the centre of Birmingham. A short walk from the Bull Ring and near the Hippodrome, you will find a restaurant offering great Chinese food, but more importantly real Malaysian food! Try it, it’s the best food around, Hor Fun, Laksa, Hainan Chicken, all beautiful foods to be taken very seriously as worlds best. ”
“ Amazing service, very friendly staff and can make helpful recommendations. Three visits in one week, so food is definitely great and authentic to its origin too. Portion sizes are also good, with tasty desserts to finish off! ”
“ Malaysian Delight has always been my favourite Malaysian restaurant in Birmingham before Malaya Classic opened. In addition to their excellent Malaysian cuisine, their Cantonese dishes are also outstanding, such as the roast meats. Their laksa is delicious too. We had a larger group today, so we ordered several small dishes to share, some of which I hadn't tried before, like the braised platter. It would have been even better if it came with vinegar. Everything else was consistently good, and the service at this restaurant is exceptional - polite and attentive waitstaff. Highly recommended. ”
“ It is cash only but we were informed at the beginning so were aware. The waitress was absolutely great. She was very kind and informative. Helped explain dishes and made some recommendations. Enjoyed the food and appreciated that we were able to take our time. Had a great time here and would definitely come again. ”
