About

From humble beginnings on the streets of Subang Jaya, Malaysia, to the heart of Melbourne, Canai was born out of heritage cooking and warm, welcoming hospitality.

Chefs Ray and Julin have shaped a menu that honours their Malaysian roots while celebrating fresh Australian produce. From the smoky rush of wok hei to the whimsical pull of teh tarik, we take the nostalgic flavours of our childhood and elevate them into something surprising, comforting, and deeply addictive.

Whether you're pulling up to the bar for a quick snack and a cocktail or settling into a booth to watch our chefs flip fresh roti, Canai has been designed to feel like home. So pull up a chair and book your spot — we're excited to welcome you to a piece of Malaysia in Australia.

With love, Canai.
