Great Asian Cuisine
Perhaps my favourite restaurant in Edmonton. The South location seems to be better than the West End one though the menu is the same. Their curry dishes are awesome and don't forget to order the Roti appetizer.

This is one of my favorite places. Good service, good sized portions and very tasty.
Prices a tad high but good food.

unique menu
March 29, 2014I found this restaurant has an excellent selection of vegetarian and seafood items. The decor is lovely, the staff are quick and efficient (we are never waiting for water to be refilled). We LOVE the roti kanai - so delicious. Other favorites include curry lembu, sambal bunchies and homestyle chicken. The prices are a bit high, but so far we... more

Not a great place anymore
March 24, 2014I have been patronizing this restaurant for long time by taking friends along. It is in a great location right off the main thoroughfare for the city. The inside of the restaurant is very well decorated, ample space and always have customers. It’s a good sign for any restaurant business. However, a few days ago I went there and was... more

Bland Food
September 14, 2013Maybe it was just a case of ordering the wrong dishes I found the food at the West End location lacking the spicy flavour one would expect in the dishes that we did order. Once our food had been served, at the same time as our spring rolls (which our waiter had forgotten). we were basically ignored for at least... more

What a Dinner
August 24, 2013
Tropika is a chain restaurants run by different people in each city, the one we have been dining in Vancouver was great, but not so thrill for the one in Edmonton.
The server must be new, she had no knowledge for the menu or what do they have to offer ... Our meals cost $46.20 she was asking me do...

Worst experience ever
August 08, 2013Reading all the great reviews on Urban spoon we decided to order delivery from this place. We asked for vegetarian and mentioned this word a few times and insisted that they put 'no meat' and 'no egg' in our dishes and only vegetables. When the food was delivered we discovered that there was shrimp and maybe pork or chicken in... more

July 27, 2013they have a green bean dish, nice beans, nice and crisp, too bad they come with little tiny shrimp, probably out of a can, and too bad those green beans come with every other dish on the menu. If you are fasinated with green beans and egg plant (my goodness, egg plant seems to be in everything) and the egg... more

Always a treat
June 03, 2013Tropika is one of my family’s favorite restaurants. I’ve been here for many celebrations, and will be for many more to come. The cuisine is absolutely fantastic and I’m always recommending it for other people to try. I’ve never tried anything I’ve disliked here, and don’t think I ever will! Tropika is in my opinion one of the best restaurants... more

First time at this location,
Great food and good value, the waitress was extremely helpful and knowledgable and recommended good dishes.

Try the satay
April 07, 2013The satay sticks are fantastic. Very flavorful and well worth the price. The restaurant is a little bit older, but still pretty nice.

Less than authentic
March 22, 2013One the place changed owners some years ago, the quality of the food went down. I noticed they had taken the mangosteen coolers off the menu, and when I asked the server what happened it, she said, yes, we have mango juice! If you're Southeast Asian, you'll know what mangosteens are. If the people at that restaurant aren't familiar with... more

Excellent Malaysian Cuisine
December 26, 2012This is one of my favourite restaurants in Edmonton. The food is good and well representative of Malaysian cuisine. Make sure to try the Home Style Chicken with some Roti bread to start.

If you like Malaysian Food - this is the place
December 21, 2012I hven't been to the Tropika for a little while but it is once ofmy favourite restaurants for Asian food. We first discovered it after a trip to Malaysia when we were feeling nostalgic for Malaysian food and went looking. This restaurant does not disappoint.

A welcome Experience for the Tastebuds
December 05, 2012Ate at this restaurant twice over the past month, both times experienced great food, fresh and falvoursome, true to its origins. The indonesian spring roles are amazing, with those fried peanuts encrusted in the pastry, awesome and of all of the dishes eaten the fish prepared in rendang curry was exceptionally memorable. The service was attentive although not overly effusive,... more

September 04, 2012Any time my husband and I are in Richmond or Edmonton we make sure to stop in for a meal at Tropika. The food is always delicious and fresh. Our not to miss favourites are the Satay, Indonesian Spring Rolls, Tropika Chicken and Nasi Goreng. The only thing that would make Tropika better would be for them to reopen in... more

Nice change of pace
April 17, 2012Tropika is a Malaysian style restaurant, which basically means lots of spicy foods, satay and coconut rice. The food is pretty good with individual dishes from around $12 - 20. Set lunches are available at $10 - 15. I highly recommend the satay lamb or beef sticks (sold in bunches of 6 and comes with peanut sauce) and any of... more

Best Roti outside of Malaysia

December 28, 2011No problem getting seated by the friendly hostess. We are told that it can be very busy at times, so may be best to make reservations.

O.K. at best
December 10, 2011
The service was courteous, however, sporatic. Multiple requests, of different servers, finally produced coffee refills. Allergy questions were met with little knowledge from the servers. In the end, it was determined that this facility was Celiac friendly.
Typical to most Malaysian restaraunts, the decor was simple, wide open, which lended itself to a noisy dinner.
The food was presented well...

The best Malaysian food
November 29, 2011Troika is pricy but it doesn't disappoint! Everyone I know likes to eat here! I suggest the sambal bunchies, roti, deepfried chicken(not the exact name but you will know it once you see it on the menu, nasi goreng and Thai style eggplant is also delicious! I think All those will come close to $70 -told you it was pricy!

Waste of time and money
October 24, 2011There are some good reviews about this place out there, so perhaps we hit it on a night when the "bad" chef was in the kitchen or the place has changed. This is possibly the worst Malaysian food out there. I lived in Singapore for many years, so i'm pretty confident about how it should taste and this was nothing... more

A bit pricey but great selection of food
August 17, 2011We ordered a number of dishes to share amongst us. The chicken and beef skewers were good but who could go wrong with meat on a stick? I liked the peanut sauce that accompained them. The rice is always good with the sauce of the dishes. We had a spicy beef dish, pork, spicy vegetables, and noodles. All were tasty... more

An adequate but unexceptional neighbourhood eatery
August 01, 2011One has to be on something of a mission to seek out malaysian/thai food in Edmonton to come across this restaurant. It has a very anonymous external appearance, located on a strip-mall. Inside, the decor is fairly functional. The menu is mainly malaysian with a sprinkling of thai dishes. The food is not bad but some dishes lack authenticity. As... more

Solid Malay/Sing food in Alberta
July 31, 2011I lived in both Malaysia and Singapore for several years. So, I write this review knowing what good Malay and Sing food should taste like. Overall, food was good.

too expensive and service is not that good
June 10, 2011The food is delicious but I find it too expensive. If you go there for dinner expect to spend at least $70.00 and up. When I go to a restaurant I want to be able to try a few different dishes and be adventurous. It's hard to do that at Tropika because the dishes are a little expensive. Also, the... more

Now for something a little different – Edmonton has a plethora of Asian restaurants, but Tropika is the first to focus on Malaysian cuisine. There are similarities to Thai and Vietnamese – satays and curries, and many of the seasonings and spices (lemongrass, chiles) will be familiar. But Tropika uses additional flavors like tamarind and star anise, giving another dimension to dishes you... more
