Quartermile, 6 - 7 Lister Square, Edinburgh, EH3 9GL, United Kingdom
· Malaysian restaurant, Asian fusion restaurant, Asian restaurant
· Tollcross
A lively Malaysian spot in Quartermile with plenty of fans for roti, nasi lemak, noodles, and halal options, but service inconsistency and authenticity complaints keep it from being an easy blanket recommendation.
Why this grade
Nanyang Malaysian Restaurant delivers solid food quality anchored by reliably praised roti, nasi lemak, and curries, but inconsistency in execution, salt levels, and spice prevents a stronger grade. Service swings between warm hospitality and disengaged interactions, while the Quartermile location and cozy design create an appealing but not destination-defining setting. Strong repeat customer loyalty suggests the kitchen's best work keeps diners returning, even as variability holds it back.
One caveat: Service quality swings hard; some guests report attentive care, while others describe being ignored or spoken to rudely.
