Cinta Malaysian Kitchen

The best Malaysian dishes in New Zealand. The chef so generous. The food so good n big portions n so authentic and the price is very reasonable and I willing to travel from Hamilton to Wellington for this restaurant.as a gift n treat for myself. It's worth while!

Am a Singaporean who tried a few Malaysian/Singaporean dishes around nz. We ordered roasted chicken rice and char kway teow for delivery. The roasted chicken rice was yummy and usually not easy to find as most place has the white hainanese chicken. Chilli was yummy too.
The kway teow felt a little too soft and did not have wokhei taste which I was hoping for.

Always nice food love going there. The service is ok
Atmosphere is so loud when there not a good place to go on a date

Very disappointed with the char kuey teow it was extremely salty it was the only flavor I could taste. Scallion pancake was oily and flavorless. And I was astonished that they charged 4.00 for a can of lemonade. The one good thing was the delivery man he was polite and friendly

The food, price and portions are all phenomenal, compared to other Malaysian restaurants. Just too bad they're not as busy as the rest of them. I would definitely recommend to anyone. My goto!

My family and I have been going to Cinta for years and I have never had a bad meal here. Reminds me of dining in Singapore. The Pad Thai is the best in town in my opinion. Thank you.

Love this spot, we are regular visitors! Char kway teow is our favourite in Wellington. Also love the nasi lemak

The Hainese Chicken is the best I've ever had.and not just in Wellington. It's a simple restaurant, family run I think, comfy and the service is always great.

If you haven't been here, you need to! Great place to go with a group, prices are very reasonable and food is consistently good with decent portions. The owners are super lovely, and they go above and beyond to rectify an issue (which are far & few between).
Im a regular here and love supporting local. Best Hinanese Chicken Rice & Mee Goreng I've had in Welly. The garlic broccolli, samosa and curry is really good too!
Thanks for making my heart & tummy so happy ️

Average food. I have edited this review as the owners didn’t think it was fair to compare their Malaysian food with Indonesian (although the sate and nasi goreng are pretty much the same), fine so I have removed that. End of the day, the sate was not particularly good and the nasi, whilst being tasty and freshly cooked, was in no way inspiring to eat ie average.

Big portion, authentic Malaysian menu, flavour is acceptable but something is lack of in the flavour. First few bites are satisfying, but later taste more like ajinomoto and curry powder in the dishes. Chillies sauce of the chicken rice is wonderful.

One of my favourite Malay place in Wellington. We always get the Hainanese chicken and rice super tender and yummy. Great value for money.

My favorite malaysian restaurant in all of wellington. Beef rendang, hainanese chicken and the curry puffs are my go to.

Unpretentious Malaysian food. I had the Been Hun, rice noodles with tofu. Big portion sizes and flavorful.

My friend had the lamb curry rich they mentioned was one of the best they have ever had.

Place was buzzing indicative of it being popular in Wellington.

Cheap food and good quality, flavors were good but a bit too salty for our taste. Chicken rice was good but not completely authentic.but it definitely hit the spot.

I came here a few years back and since returning to Wellington, I thought I'd pop in again yesterday (28/12/2022). Got a chicken char kway teow - the highest spiciest level was not a disappointment. Very delicious! I didn't take a photo of the menu this time, but for the CKT, the price is $18 as of this date and the portion makes it well worth it! A few other dishes on the menu are still yet to be tried by me, so maybe next time. Keep up the great work!

Our favourite Malaysian restaurant in Wellington! Try their hainan roasted chicken - its so delicious. Cheap, cheerful and yummy food

The food here is absolutely fantastic. Found this place originally when I was picking up a DoorDash order. Came in on Friday with some of my mates before rush hour and service was prompt. Highly recommend the stir fried noodles and the chicken rice. Makes macro friendly good bulking foods. Portion size is generous. If the waitress from Friday is reading this, I go to WC please hit me up.

This place is a hidden gem - I walked past for years before giving it a chance and now I'm a regular. The owner is so kind and courteous (and welcoming of small children). The food is fresh and delicious, great vegetarian options and an unbeatable lunch special. Huge portions. Love Cinta! Support Wellington's small eateries, we are lucky to have them.

Amazing Pham Thai… curry puffs and spring rolls were also delicious, we ordered twice. Highly recommended
