An undiscovered gem that goes easy on your wallet.
Malaysia, like neighboring Singapore, is a melting pot of diverse races and cultures - predominantly Malaysian, Chinese and Indian. The food reflects the diversity. In addition to cuisine of a Malaysian flavor, Jaya fires up some excellent Chinese, Thai and Indian dishes. If spicy food agrees with your stomach, dig into some of the popular dishes such as Homemade Roti Canai (crispy Indian pancake that comes with a thick curry sauce), Malaysian Lemon Grass Satay (BBQ chicken or beef skewers with peanut sauce), Curry Seafood Noodle Soup (be prepared to ask for water refills) and Beef Rendang over rice. Dine the Southeast Asian way - share your dishes! Try the Steamed Carp Chew Chow Style, Crabs With Spicy Sauce, finger-licking Butter Shrimp, Grilled Stingray Fish in Banana Leaf, and Cashew Chicken in Taro Cake. Owner Hann Low owns several restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn including Sushi Hana, Cucina Cuzo and Lemon Grass Thai.
Distinctively Malaysian with bamboo everywhere. Lanterns and soft lighting lends a relatively relaxed feel to the place. Students on a shoestring budget and families yearning for some comfort food from the mother country flock to this restaurant.
