About Kafe Kooks - The House Of Roti

Ultimo’s dedicated house of roti swaps out standard sandwich bread and rice bowls for flaky, hot-off-the-grill parathas. Regulars line up around Mountain Street for breakfast wraps stuffed with runny eggs or beef rendang folded into buttery pastry rings. Come evening, the room shifts into hands-on workshops where guests learn dough-flipping technique directly from a veteran roti master before settling in for a multi-course curry feast. It all washes down smoothly alongside sweet coconut coffee and David Bowie portraits on the walls.

  • Interactive Roti Masterclass: Evening sessions teach hands-on dough stretching and flipping alongside a multi-course curry banquet.
  • All-Day Roti Architecture: Buttery, handmade parathas anchor the entire menu, from morning breakfast wraps to stuffed madtarbaks.
  • Bold Southeast Asian Fusion: Slow-cooked curries, sweet-and-spicy sambal, and coconut iced coffee blend Malaysian street flavors with cafe classics.

  • Shared Multi-Course Banquets

    The masterclass format pairs culinary instruction with a multi-course dinner banquet, creating a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere for dates and catch-ups.

    It was the perfect date night experience and it was great to understand more about the history of Kafe Kooks and how it came to be.

  • Calm Ultimo Neighborhood Setting

    Tucked along Mountain Street near Broadway Shopping Centre, the venue offers a peaceful daytime retreat just off busy transit lanes.

    bit of a hidden gem along the quieter path of mountain street right between two vivid bustling lanes of broadway.

  • Reliable Early Morning Breakfast Stop

    Opening early near Broadway, the cafe provides fast morning breakfast wraps featuring eggs and savory fillings wrapped in buttery, crisp roti alongside specialty coffee.

    We absolutely loved this place and stopped in almost everyday of our 4 day trip!

  • Roti Masterclass

    I had the most amazing time at the Roti Masterclass last night. I learned how to flip and fold the Roti dough, it was so much fun! Followed by a 6 course meal that featured roti throughout.

  • Roti Sarang Burung

    The **Roti Sarang Burung** is an absolute delight for both the eyes and the palate.

  • Murtabak Daging

    My other favorite, the **Murtabak Daging**, is a masterpiece of comfort food. Murtabak is a stuffed roti, and Kafe Kooks' version with minced beef is nothing short of spectacular.

Before you head over

Practical tips for planning your visit, masterclass, or morning refuel

  • Book masterclasses in advance

    Reserve your spot ahead of time for the Wednesday and Thursday evening workshops, which combine hands-on roti stretching and folding instruction with a multi-course banquet.

  • Plan portion sizes for sharing

    While savory dishes like the murtabak burger and wraps pack deep flavor, portions can feel compact, so consider ordering an extra dish or a sweet dessert roti to share.

  • Drop in early off Broadway

    Tucked quietly on Mountain Street just off the bustling Broadway lanes, drop by early for morning breakfast wraps and coffee before peak hours.
