Mek's Delight

Mek’s Delight was recommended by a friend when we llwere discussing about Halal restaurant for South East Asian food. Interior was simple & clean, there’s only 5 tables in the restaurant, so come early or call them first. Parking was plentiful at the back of the restaurant. The place is run by a husband & wife team, wife is from Kelantan, Malaysia & hubby is from Thailand. Hence the combination of Malaysian & Thai food. Very friendly & attentive service despite a 2 person team. We ordered fried rice with fried chicken, Nasi Lemak (coconut rice), Chicken Briyani, Mee Goreng,& Rendang. The flavour of the dishes was spot on, the fried chicken was extremely tasty, the flavour went right into the meat with a crispy skin. Who doesn’t like crispy chicken skin? The Chicken Briyani was good, even better with the small bowl of curry that comes with the Briyani rice. Mee Goreng was authentically yummy! I am going to order that the next time. The coconut rice (Nasi Lemak), the rice was so fragrant, it is cooked with lemongrass which gives off a very lovely smell beside the taste. The beef Rendang was expensive but so… worth it, you can taste that it is made from scratch.. the beef was so tender that it melts in your mouth, we ordered a side of rice to go with it… such a marriage made in your mouth. We also ordered Thai iced tea & tea tarik… We will be back!

I tried Mek’s Delight on my friends recommendation.He said try the “Laksa” spicy but very good.Yes I had to look up what laksa meant …. “Spicy noodle soup”Omgosh this was so so good, wonderful heat that was so satisfying warmed me up after a long day of study.The Wife and Husband owners were very friendly, and shared they make their recipes in house with spices from home.I finished my meal with the homemade Malaysian tea, another taste delight.Will I come back, most definitely.Next time the three taste fish!Thank you, thank you

This place is definitely a hole in the wall. Very small inside and could use small renovations.Food 7/10 - The skewers I had were dry. Roti was warm, flaky and delicious. Noodles were also very delicious.Service 7/10 - A little slow as there is (usually) one cook and one server. Have to ask for water more than once

Mom and pop style shop with Mom and Pop style food.  Straight up awsome home made comfort food that I'm familiar with.Food: Fried chicken and rice 2 ways. Crispy flavorful chicken fluffy rice. Thai papaya salad with sweet, sour, savory with a backend bite from fresh garlic mixed in.  Large Tom kha with chicken enough for 8 adults. 3 orders of Rotti because it was that good. Dough slightly crispy on the outside and chewy with a curry dipping sauce. Last but not least a noodle dish  similar to chow main with a Malaysian flair. All the food was surprisingly well prepared, hot and quick to make it to the table.For a two person mom and pop shop and a full house, food was fast and service was friendly. If you like the Malaysian/Thai/Indo-Chinese type food this is your go to place in Surrey, BC, CANADA.

Small family run restuarant by a husband & a wife, seats 15-20 people Max. The reason for my rating is not because the food wasn't good, I like the taste of the food but there was literally a few tiny pieces of chicken in the red curry and the chicken rice we ordered. The roti kenai (Appetizer) tasted wonderful.The price was not worth what we ate, asked to have just a little ice in our drinks and the drinks tasted watered down because we requested less ice.

What’s special about Mek’s Delight? Well, it’s a tiny family kitchen with a five-table dining area run by a middle aged Malaysian couple who offer small portions of both Malaysian and Thai cuisines at relatively high price. Food is tasty, but not really my cup of tea as I am not a Malaysian nor a Thai. My husband and I ordered coconut rice cooked with coconut milk, Kelantan Curry Chickens made with a traditional northern Malay curry, and the famous Beef Rendang which is supposed to be simmered overnight with coconut milk and spices, and which is supposed to be tender enough to melt in the mouth. But Mek’s Beef Rendang is different from the one we had tasted in Indonesia - Mek’s Beef doesn’t melt; it’s chewy! One thing, however, I do like about Mek’s Delight is their slogan written on the wall mirror: To live well is to eat well!

First time at this restaurant. Friendly owners. Food was very tasty at a reasonable price. Portions were alright but only tiny bits of chicken meat on Laksa & Red Curry. Rendang was delicious and saucy. Hopefully they add more meat on those dishes. Overall, I will still recommend this place and will try it again.

I think Mek's have really authentic Malaysian food! After trying many other restaurants around the GVA, this one tops the cake. I really like their beef rendang, mee mamak, and roti canai. They even have teh tarik!!! The mee mamak was really spicy, but delicious. I will definitely come back to try the rest of their menu.

This is an unassuming restaurant with a lovely couple at the helm. The Malaysian tea, beef rendang, eggplant sambal, and papaya salad were top notch. We will definitely return to sample more!!
