Made-in-Malaysia Dave’s Deli is now in Australia

Warm and gooey, with hearty, comforting flavours, the lasagna at Dave's Deli ticks all the right boxes.

In Malaysia, Dave’s Deli is synonymous with the words “roast chicken”. The eatery, which first started in 1989 with namesake owner David Chin at the helm, somehow managed to transform a seemingly banal chicken meal into a dish so delicious, an entire chain of restaurants was built around it.

Since then, the brand has undergone a series of ups and downs, first expanding to over 40 outlets, before everything came crashing down and most of the franchisees cashed out.
