CHAHAYA MALAYSIA
Often hard to describe because of its
diverse geographical roots, Malaysian
food usually falls under one of three
categories: dishes influenced by
Chinese cuisine, dishes influenced by
Indian cuisine, and dishes unique to
Malaysia. Chahaya Malaysia, Ottawa’s
oldest authentic Malaysian restaurant,
not only reflects these three culinary
categories, but also perfects them. For
the past 22 years, the Chahaya kitchen
has been under the direction of the
same chef. The huge menu is full of
tantalizing dishes and attracts folks
from all walks of life, including more
than a few local restaurateurs. Open
Tuesday to Friday for lunch from 11:30
a.m. to 2 p.m. and for dinner from
Tuesday to Thursday and on Sunday
from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday
the restaurant is open from 5 to 11
p.m. Closed Monday.
