| - Went to Matahari Grill for lunch and I'm torn between giving 3 and 4 stars, so I guess I'd say it's a 3.5. The food is good for Toronto Malaysian food - I'd say slightly better than Restoran Malaysia in Richmond Hill - but I still find it a bit expensive for what you're getting (lunch entrees for around $12+tax+tip) and the service was slow, particularly for lunch time. We ended up taking 1.5 hours for three people at a 1pm lunch. Our server also wasn't particularly professional; we had a hard time understanding him and he often left our table with us wondering if we were going to get our water, or exactly what was in a certain dish, etc. Food-wise, we tried some different curries and the nasi lamek, which all seemed authentic and tasted good.
Things that would make Matahari Grill a definite four star: if it was either cheaper, had better service, or if the food was better (obv - that would make it five star!). As it stands, Matahari Grill is like eating overpriced fast food at table-clothed tables. That being said, it was good enough that I would return at least once more, particularly to check out the beef rendang for dinner because it's not on their lunch menu.
