Best Roti Canai in Melaka

Roti Canai Kayu Arang was founded in 2015. A new kid on the block that has been featured on TV3's Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan, it has caught the attention of many for their scrumptious roti canai which is only served during the wee hours of the day. Additionally, satay and otak-otak can be your best match as side dishes as it is served during the day as well.

Roti Terbang Kampung Enam was the first runner up of the renowned “Roti Terbang” competition that was held a couple of years ago.

What more is left for you to ponder about, when you can taste an award-winning roti canai and witness the live preparation of it? The roti canai here is accompanied by curry or dhal gravy with some charred skin atop, resulting from the flat iron skillet despite being crunchy on the outside. For spicy eaters, you may request for a dollop of sambal to spice things up.

Roti Terbang Kampung Lapan is another famous roti terbang that is just a stone's throw away from the aforementioned. Similar to the above, their roti canai is definitely one of the best. They have been around for a few years now. Despite their contemporary moderate dining space and impressive show, the roti canai is very crispy and unlike any other. At the same time, their price is absolutely affordable, too!

Yusman Roti Canai is a family business that has been highly acclaimed for the past 23 years and is still ongoing!

For add-ons, there are all sorts of curry gravy and other fish dishes for you to pair it with.

One of the most pioneer mamak eatery found in town. Tamby Roti Canai has been around for approximately more than 10 years. They are well known for their unique roti canai, typically addressed as roti bulat due to its round shape.

And if you’re looking for something that is more filling, you may opt for the roti canai sardin instead.

While roti canai will always be a local favourite meal for a wallet-friendly breakfast, Majeedia Haj Braini has always been the local favourite spot in seeking for a good plate of roti canai.
