In the heart of Northcote, a vibrant neighborhood known for its eclectic culinary scene, Merah emerges as a captivating destination where the art of Asian cuisine takes center stage. Our name, "Merah," meaning "red" in Malaysian, represents our passion, energy, and the fiery flavors that ignite our culinary creations and delicious cocktails. From our handmade dumplings bursting with flavors to our aromatic curries that transport you to the streets of Thailand or Malaysia, every bite at Merah is a symphony of taste and texture.

Food was unimpressive, not great quality. We ordered mains but they were small and way overpriced. The cocktails were watered down. We pointed out issues with our meals and were unimpressed and unsatisfied with the response. Will not be going back when there are so many great places to eat in the area.

The food was delicious, but unfortunately the entrees and the mains all came at once and we couldn’t finish anything. Also we didn’t receive our second serve of rice.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The owner/manager was extremely helpful with the menu. She recommended the banquet for us which was great value for money. One of us was vegetarian and there were plenty of vegetarian dishes on the menu . We will certainly come back again. We have recommended this restaurant to friends who live nearby.
