The
Aneka Rasa Atmosphere
Aneka Rasa’s minimalist décor serves
to create a relaxed an uncluttered environment in which
to enjoy the finest in Malaysian Cuisine. As soon as you
walk through the door, a live seafood aquarium and solid
wood reception area welcomes you, which is a reflection
of old Malay culture and style. The wooden theme is carried
onwards to the chairs, tables, and bathrooms to create
a comfortable but authentic village, or “Kampong”,
fashion. Solid earth tones, granite, and brick walls create
a contrast of textures while modern spotlights give the
additional charm of eating out in an open starlit sky.
The brick walls in the back of the restaurant are adorned
with three paintings of Malaysian artist Eng Tay. The
paintings highlight themes deeply ingrained in Malaysian
culture, which are family, culture, and food.

The Aneka Rasa Food
Aneka Rasa’s food is inspired and prepared
by Malaysian chefs to reflect authentic Malaysian Cuisine.
Malaysia has long been the crossroads in Southeast Asia
and the country’s foods reflect that. Malaysian
cuisine blends Thai, Indian, Chinese and local Malay tastes
to create original Malaysian cuisine. This includes the
spiciness of Thai food, the exotic spices found in Indian
food, the wok stir-fry style of Chinese food, and original
Malaysian tastes. At Aneka Rasa, we believe in using only
the freshest ingredients in all our dishes but especially
our seafood specialties, which is prepared with live seafood
from our indoor aquarium tanks. Aneka Rasa also goes through
great lengths to gather spices faithful to true authentic
Malaysian cuisine. At Aneka Rasa, you will enjoy delicious
authentic Malaysian cuisine from appetizer to dessert.
In addition, Aneka Rasa features many exclusive Malaysian
dishes that cannot be found in any other Malaysian restaurants
in Boston or in the United States! These specials include
Nine Level Cake, Otak-Otak, and Eight Treasure Duck available
for a limited time only or through special order. * Featured

"Malaysian cooking is a masterful merging of the elegance of Chinese cuisine with the bounce of Thai food and the complex hum of Indian spicing."
-Denise Taylor, Boston Globe |
"On the whole, the meal is terrifically satisfying and leaves plenty left over for an excellent lunch the next day."
-Sudsy Grub, Weekly Dig talking about Cantonese chow fun |
"The search for authentic Malaysian food goes no further than Aneka Rasa in Allston. Malaysian restaurants in Boston are hard to come by, and Aneka Rasa is one of the few restaurants that offer a fusion of Asian tastes. In traditional Malaysian fashion, Aneka Rasa blends Thai, Chinese, Indian, and other Asian ethnic cuisines and then adds exotic flavors of its own for a tasty palate-pleasing fare."
Tiffany Horne, INsite Magazine |
"If you are getting a little fatigued with the more controversial Malaysian places, try this one for a renewed interest in this ancient and complex cuisine."
