📍JJ's Café -Malaysian @ Heaton Road, Newcastle (Halal) Mamak Mee Goreng, Pasembur, Teh Tarik..🥘 Whalaoo… and all at affordable prices (more than HALF the normal prices, because of the location being out of the city centre) As a born-and-bred Malaysian, I couldn't be happier than to come across Malaysian food in the UK. The moment I tasted the cuisine in JJ's Café, the Malaysian 'Wok-Hei' was evident. 🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏾JJ and Sundre, both from Malaysia, have been running this café for over 23 years, in this exact location. Sundre, the chef, has already been running a Malaysian Street Food stall prior to the move to Newcastle. The appearance of the café may not be dazzling, but that adds to the authenticity of this spot - how this café has gracefully aged through the years. 🍝The Mamak Mee Goreng was spot-on. Wok-Hei. Spicy. Strong with Malaysian Flavours. Generous amounts of Tofu (which we both love). I enjoyed it so much. Back in my hometown (Penang Island), we are spoilt for choice when it comes to Mee Goreng. The drought of such cuisine here made this Mamak Mee Goreng incredible. What would have completed the whole dish, however, are small strips of lettuce and 'limau' (a lime wedge) for presentation and taste. Nevertheless, it was incredibly delicious. 🌶️The Rojak Pasembur - my favourite dish of all. I have friends here ordering this particular dish every single week. After trying it, I'd understand why. The fried savoury fritters complemented by the peanut sauce, tofu, cucumbers, and egg.. Just incredible. 🥘Michelle and I LOVED the curries. We had egg curry, and Manchurian Cauliflower. I'm not trying to sugar-coat this, but the Manchurian Cauliflower even surpasses the standards of some Indian Restaurants I've been to in Kuala Lumpur. By far, the curries here were closest to home I've ever had in the UK. Everything served here is rich and spicy. Oh, and the Teh Tarik was lovely. Clearly, appearance and decor isn't the forte of JJ's Malaysian Café. I, however, would forgo that any time, simply because of the authenticity of the cuisine, and the prices here which are so worth it, and the fact that JJ and Sundre are also such lovely people.

Had a Just Eat delivery from here, arrived with in the time and still hot also well packaged! I ordered the Fish Curry (Melt in the mouth pieces of fish) in a spicy rich sauce, the Chicken Varuwal (Tender chicken cubes in a sorta rich spiced sauce with loads of onions) this was tasty too and Rojak Pasumpur which was like deep fried sorta bread with salad, satay sauce and a side of some sorta slaw it was all nice, ive not been to Malaysia but if i had i would probs say this was authentic, cant wait to order again.. very nice indeed 😁👌👍

If you miss asian food (malaysia, Indonesia and Thai). Come to this place! Its not pricey.. So super worth it! It near bykers. And it is open at 4 p.m. unfortunately, due to the covid situation, we cant eat dine in.. But the owner was really kind. He gave us the chair and table outside (Its better).

Wonderful authentic Malaysian food run by a lovely elderly couple. I thought I was in a gerai/mamak restaurant from back home. However, decor is a bit dated, but not too dirty. Food may take time but not too long due to staff shortage and most dishes are cooked to order. Despite this, I still recommend to check this place out. Highly recommended for take-out or delivery e.g., via UberEats/JustEats etc. Excellent place; how you would get food in Malaysia, is how you would get it here! Sincerely, a Malaysian! 🇲🇾

Never underestimate this place. Food is superior taste in Malaysian style. Portion size is really good also for much reasonable price. Wish owner can expand this business to city as well.

Been craving the complex, fragrant, tasty flavours of Malaysian cuisine since visiting the country. This place delivers authentic, incredible flavoursome dishes at really really good value. Fed 4 people for under £30.

Stumbled across this place and I'm so glad I did! The seafood laksa was delicious and I'm already craving for some more! The staff were very friendly too and I'll definitely be returning again 😊

Very authentic malaysian food, definitely the most recommended one in the north east! Ambiance and ventilation are abit subpar given it's an old building but the taste of food definitely makes up for it. Takeaway is the way to go if you want to avoid the poor ventilation.

Great food served in unpretentious surroundings. This place is all about the food. A great menu with ample choice of Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine. Management very friendly. Take your own alcohol. This establishment is also a takeaway (very reasonably priced too). So if you're after a great foodie experience without the Instagram posers then this is the destination.

Lovely and authentic Malaysian food in a casual setting. Will definitely visit again!

Amazing food. Been looking for a nice Malaysian restaurant in Newcastle. Would definitely come again.

Love the food here!!! I had some confusion with the pick up time, so I accidentally rushed them. (If you are reading this I’m so sorry) We got our food really fast but I fully understand it should normally take a bit longer. The food I would describe as simplicity done right, with the confidence to add a bit of spice. If you are looking for authentic and tasty food at a reasonable price, then I highly recommend this restaurant!

Good food but slow service but we knew when we went in Delicious chicken satay

B. C.

Picked up our chicken rendang and chicken varanasi today with roti and pilau rice...absolutely gorgeous really authentic tastes reminiscent of our holidays in Malaysia. Really enjoyed both dishes and reasonably priced too will definitely be back

Great place for authentic Malaysian food. Very nice and friendly owner.

R. S.

Been struggling to find a Malaysian/Singaporean takeaway that can match my expectation of spiciness and taste like the coffee shop back home. JJs has been my go to place when the cravings kick in. Never disappoints!!!

J. B.

Yet again a terrific meal. Rojak Pasembur, Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai all wonderful. Fantastic value for money.

Really tasty food will always go back for more!!

Absolutely loved the food here. The mamak-style fried chicken and teh tarik were amazing. The owner is really friendly too.

JJ's cafe is the place to go in Newcastle for an authentic Malaysian food experience. Their portions are generous and price reasonable by UK standards. I found all the dishes we tried to be really good. If you are a particular fan of South Indian food, look no further. I dare say most of their offering is as good if not better than what you would get in a Indian/Malaysian restaurant in Malaysia; with friendly service to boot.

The best malaysian food ever in Newcastle. For those who craving for good food can try here . The food is well prepared and it's really taste better than malaysia . Price and the food portion is reasonable. Delivery is on time . Very friendly uncle who delivers the food . Once in Newcastle must try food in this shop .

F. S.

Tasty (spicy!) food at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly. I've been twice for takeaways and have found that it does take a bit longer than expected for the food to be ready though. Still worth it.

A. K. B.

Loved this place - authentic Malaysian cuisine and the food was excellent, especially the spicy ones. The owner was really courteous and friendly.

F. Q. y.

Charkuehtiaw was amazing. Sambal of nasi lemak was a bit too salty for liking. Green curry was good as well. Didn't get to try out the rojak

Authentic Malaysian food in a comfortable and homely environment. Will definitely be going back when I visit Newcastle again
