About Roti Road

Footscray’s Barkly Street strip holds a bustling Malaysian powerhouse where fresh dough flies through the air in full view. Regulars bypass inner-city staples for this lively dining room—chasing plates that deliver the punch of hometown Kuala Lumpur streets. Flaky, hot roti canai arrives puffed and crisp, ready to drag through spicy sambal and thick curry sauces. Diners routinely swear by the laksa, plunging noodles into a coconut broth rich with deep spices and layered heat. Skewered chicken satay lands quickly with a charred peanut aroma, while smoky char kuay teow brings unmistakable wok hei to crowded family tables. Service moves with fast-casual snap across generous portions, leaving the room humming over tall glasses of iced teh tarik and sweet roti tisu.

  • Live Roti Station: Chefs stretch and toss fresh dough behind an open display window for every order.
  • Authentic Laksa & Curries: Thick coconut broths, fiery sambals, and rich curries paired with crisp flatbreads.
  • Family-Friendly Dining: Generous, fast-moving spreads in an accommodating hall welcoming family groups of all ages.
  • Halal & BYO Friendly: Certified halal Malaysian dishes served alongside flexible BYO drink options.

  • Roti Canai

    The roti canai was just the right amount of crispy and soft with the most flavoured curry making our experience great.

  • Laksa

    Also the best laksa in Melb- the broth is rich and creamy just like in Malaysia!

    Mina

  • Satay Skewers

    I highly recommend the satay skewers; the slightly dried chicken brings out a more intense aroma.
