Mamak Dang Fusion Malaysian Cuisine

I lived in Malaysia for 6 years when I was younger. I haven’t been back in 7 years and once I had the first bite, it took me right back.
Everything was perfect. From the drink to the soup to the main meal and those amazing spring rolls.

Amazing Malaysian food. The beef rendang was flavorful and filling. They also carry chicken skewers and coconut shrimp that you can’t get enough of, but don’t go too late in the day or everything good might be sold out. Also try the drinks, they’re not as sweet as they sound and perfect finish to your meal.

Pretty awesome! Amazing prices for all of the flavour (quality) and quantity of food. Great service, exciting and innovative menu, and online reservations (through Unilocal) are super easy to use!
WE ordered the chicken spring rolls, chicken satay, curry roti canai, laksa noodle soup (assorted and vegetable), nasi lemak rendang beef, and special rice chicken curry, along with the soy milk and grass jelly drink and the shaved ice.
Food came out super quickly, with both staff and chef’s coming out to describe and help mix dishes. The roti canai was amazing (always a favourite), and I really also liked the nasi lemak and curry flavours in the laksa noodle soup. It was all good with lots of variety of flavours, but those were my favourites.
So you can order the soup from a 1 to 5 and we got a 2 and 3, which were more than spicy enough for the people I was sharing with. It definitely was spicy for a 2 and 3, but I would like to go back and try a 4 or a 5 though :) If you’re sensitive to spice, I would go with a 1.
Cool place! Clean, good bathrooms, lots of parking and conveniently not too far off Deerfoot. I think the arrangement of the tables could be a bit better, there is more than enough space to arrange it so people don’t have to get up when they have to get out, but it currently has the corner tables right against the walls, which makes it hard to get in and out if you’re seated there. Aside from that, great price and great experience, highly recommend!

Thought we’d try a new malaysian place. With such a local name like mamak dang, I was too excited to find my never ending search for authentic malaysian flavor.
I was craving a noodle dish and saw they had a kon Lou mee dish. Yes please!!! I asked if it was local malaysian kolomee and the guy said yes. I should have known he wasn’t actually a local when he mispronounced «canai». A little lesson in Malay, the c is always pronounced «ch».
The roti canai is light, fluffy and not too oily. It was quite delicious.
The kolomee was not at all what I was expecting. It’s delicious for a dry noodle dish, but not the traditional kolomee with the sauce and char siu.
The reason I gave 3 generous stars is the service. The waiter was exceptionally nice and very helpful. I’d hire him in a minute.
I’d come back to try the laksa for sure.

This is an out of the way restaurant that is worth the trouble to find if you like Malaysian food or want to experiment with foods out of the ordinary for you. The owner/​chef goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable. He is super accommodating providing information about the various dishes and offering advice based on your questions and tastes. The prices are very reasonable as well. This all creates a very positive impression and a desire to visit in the not too distant future for us.

Located in a very inconspicuous location right off the highway, you are met with a warm, friendly and almost childlike atmosphere.
The set up is warm and simple and the food is authentic as you can get. The owners are actually Malaysian! The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. You’re paying food court prices for restaurant grade food. Need I say more?
I felt like I was in Bali again. The rendang and laksa were spot on!

Yum! What a great choice to visit this little «hidden gem» of a restaurant! The food was fantastic — spiced just right with lots of layers of subtle flavor… that «thing» that separates great food from good food. The owner/​chef was a super-​nice guy, obviously excited about his food and happy to share his enthusiasm with customers. The décor is kind of goofy, but gives off a real comfortable vibe. Very reasonable prices. The location is close by a lot of the airport hotels, so if you are passing through on business or on your way to the National Parks, do yourself a favor and stop on in. Do you really want to go to a chain restaurant AGAIN and get the same old food AGAIN? No! You want something new and different! GO HERE!

What a great find! Found this place on Unilocal when traveling through Calgary. Food is delicious! We ordered beef rendang, chicken skewers, roti, fried cheese rangoons, stir-​fried noodles, and noodle soup and my family and I enjoyed everything. Service was also very friendly and even the owner/​chef came out to greet us and asked about the food. Prices are more than reasonable.

I’m currently slurping down the rest of the laksa I ordered from Mamak. It’s full of flavor and delicious broth wise. The noodles aren’t exactly authentic but it’s definitely good for Canada. So bravo! It’s spicy, has that seafoody umami depth! Worth a try! I’m from Toronto and haven’t had this decent of a laksa.

When it comes to mom and pop shops making great food, I am all in.
We had a sudden craving for laksa last week, so what’s the best way to find great laksa in the city?
Unilocal to the rescue.
Sadly, there aren’t too many Malaysian /​Singaporean restaurants here in Calgary. Mamak came up in our searches and figured that we would try it out. So we drove over on an early Saturday evening around 5:30PM.
Mamak was tucked away in a strip mall in some industrial area, we weren’t too sure what to expect. We walked in. Only one other patron there. Strange, maybe it’s more of a lunch spot?
Who knows, let’s talk about the food though.
Laksa? Delicious. The broth was full of flavour. Great portions. A must-​try.
Beef Rendang? Just as flavourful. The beef was tender and cooked just right.
Would love to come back with a larger group and try out all of their other dishes. UYE /​Yelp Social anybody?
Will be back.

impressed to come to this Malaysian gem from New York. excellent food. cute little joint. wall charger by table 2.

Good Malaysian food restaurant in Calgary.
Good friendly service. And price are reasonable.
I like the laksa here, very tasty. And also like the fact that I can choose the level of spicyness I can handle.
The only dislike I have is the soup provided with the rice dish needs improvement. Other than that the food are great.

we have ordered roti kanai with chicken curry, chicken satay and nasi lemak with chicken curry (the anchovies and sweet onion one was least favorite).
The meal was very tasty. We loved the food here. Friendly staff and chef was taking inputs from customer which is a good thing :)

What a pleasant surprise! I was directed here because I did a Google search for Tropical Delight and it gave me Mamak Dang. Seeing as I had already driven here I went to get takeout anyway. I got 4 dishes: Special Laksa, Beef Rendang Laksa, Naan with Chicken Curry and Shrimp rolls. First I tried the shrimp rolls and they were not my taste at all! They tasted like spit up milk vomit. I’m so sorry for being so graphic, but that one bite I took tasted so bad that I had to spit it out.
The rest of the dishes were delish! I’ve never tried laksa ever before and their laksa was a pleasant experience for my first time. The stand out dish was the naan with curry chicken. Yum! It’s a great dish to eat with some jasmine rice as well.
They have great customer service, as to be expected with first time restaurant owners! I will definitely be frequenting this place in the future.

Excellent food especially the curry sauce for the Roti Canai. Could have been spicier. Very clean place and good service.

If it’s lunchtime and you’re in the NE, I suggest you make your way to Mamak Dang. That’s what I did on a tip from Terry L.
There’s nothing overly fancy about the space, it’s what you might expect from one of Calgary’s many strip-​mall gems. But the food, this is where it’s at! The best deal for lunch is in the 2 item ($ 9.75) or 3 ($ 10.75) item combos. You can choose from beef rendang, sweet & sour pork, curry chicken wings or deep friend wontons. It also comes with a free can of soda and steamed rice.
I didn’t go for the combo, but I did get the beef rendang steam rice with cucumber, green onion, dry onion and cilantro. It was far more than I could finish and half of it came home with me for dinner.
It’s worth a try! And if you like crayfish, they have those too… but you’ve got to order them a day in advance.
Happy lunching!

I had the beef rendang which was really tasty! I’m told the Laksa is even better :) the laksa is made with candlenut which fellow nut-​allergy sufferers need to be aware of, but this also means that the laksa is more traditionally made. The chef and staff are very eager. The chef is passionate about the food and his creations. His passion and care for the food is quite lovely to see and is apparent in the taste and presentation of his food. Service was fast at dinner time, but we were there late.
So why only 4 stars? I like my beef rendang spicy, and it wasn’t really spicy, but then the chef came out and asked me if I like it spicy. After agreeing, he quickly came out with his homemade chili sauce that he usually adds to spicy dishes. He said to mix it in to see how I like it, and it added the kick I was missing. I think it would be great to ask customers if they want it spicy when ordering :)) overall, a great first experience though!

Great food, great service. Alvin (owner/​chef) accommodated me 10 mins prior to closing time, which was very nice of him to do. I ordered the «Seremban» Laksa with curry chicken (noodle soup) and Roti Canai with curry chicken. Both were very good. Alvin was out of the beef rendang, but he brought me a piece to sample; this spoke well towards his dedication to excellent service. That beef rendang was… wow. Just wow.
He even sat down with me and we had a good conversation about his cooking styles and his vision for the restaurant.
I will definitely be back with more friends and colleagues.
If you would like to explore a little bit of Malaysia through your taste buds, combined with excellent service and support for a talented and courteous young man, this is the place.
Did I mention I washed down my flavorful meal with a deliciously fresh coconut? :-)

Since the departure of «Tropical Delight» I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get my Laksa fix.
Since the new owner took over he’s spent time perfecting this dish and within a few months everything was back on track.
Ask for your Laksa spicy and you’ll be happy, just make sure you don’t get Extra or Super spicy, you may regret it. (Unless that’s your thing.)
The beef Laksa is my Favorite!

Mamak Dang Fusion Malaysian Cuisine is the second branding of the ones who took over Tropical Delight. With big shoes to fill I felt they started out rocky. They re branded and now are Mamak Dang.
I decided to give them another chance for lunch and I sure am glad I did! Working near the area I missed being able to have quick bowl of spicy and flavourful Malaysian laksa soup. The quick ethnic lunch options in the area were lacking. Upon entering I noticed the same familiar furniture but with a few décor additions and touches. Parts of the table layouts were changed which makes sense. I was greeted with a friendly hello and was asked to choose a table.
The menu had changed and more options were available. I opted for my staple, the laksa with thin rice noodles. I liked the fact I could select between seafood and beef. I chose the beef as I was told it was the same type of brisket beef used in the rendang. I was able to choose the spice level as well, I chose medium. The food came out quick and piping hot. The flavour was great with just the amount of spice for me. I could taste the curry but it wasn’t overpowering which was good.
I’ll definitely come back. Once word gets out the food has improved I’m sure this place will be just as packed for lunches.
