124 Murray St, Perth WA 6000, Australia
Located in the heart of Perth’s CBD, this spot is a gem! The lamb curry was absolutely delicious, and the portion size was generous—just $13 for a big plate that my partner and I easily shared. No wonder it’s so popular and always crowded!
Probably the most value for money food in the whole Australia, at least from a Malaysian point of view. Tasty, complicated to cook and the amount of protein you’ll get for the price. Don’t go at lunch time. Super crowded. Try after 2 pm.
Hole in the wall for the best Malaysian food in Perth! They serve roti canai with chicken curry, briyani and various local dishes. Be sure to check their daily selections of sweets (kuih) and cakes
Review: Karachi by Sani – Perth Karachi by Sani is a true Perth institution, and for good reason. I’ve been visiting this place for over 25 years, and it’s incredible how it has stood the test of time—still serving up authentic, satisfying meals just like it did decades ago. The real star of the show here is the biryani, especially on Fridays. It's cooked in that unmistakable Malaysian-style, rich in spices and packed with flavor, striking the perfect balance of heat and aroma. Pair it with their iced tea, and you’ve got yourself a classic combo that never gets old. The rest of the menu is equally delightful, featuring a wide range of authentic Malaysian street food options. The vibe is unpretentious and simple—no fancy decor or trendy plating, just solid, flavorful food that keeps regulars coming back. Places like this are rare. It’s not easy to be in the heart of the city and continue thriving for decades, but Karachi by Sani does it with consistency, taste, and heart. If you haven’t been yet, this is a must-visit for any lover of authentic street food.
