Where Malaysian Heritage Meets Modern Family Dining.
At the Malay Courtyard, we celebrate the rich flavours of Malaysian cuisine in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Located in Hertfordshire, our halal Malaysian restaurant brings you authentic dishes like Nasi Lemak, Satay Chicken, Laksa, and Beef Rendang — all crafted with traditional spices and modern presentation. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal with loved ones or introducing friends to Southeast Asian flavours, our restaurant offers a unique dining experience for everyone. Join us for hearty meals, warm service, and a true taste of Malaysia right here in the UK.
The soul behind our kitchen is Head Chef Shubli — a second-generation chef who learned everything from his father, a Malaysian cook since the 1970s. With a family full of chefs and a lifetime surrounded by spices, sambals, and sizzling woks, Shubli lives and breathes Malaysian cuisine. At The Malay Courtyard, every dish tells a story — of heritage, tradition, and a deep love for food.
