Thank you. Now go eat.
*At 15 minutes a plate.
Everything looks good.
Night markets, mamak, satay by the roadside… choosing is the hard part. So let MakanApa choose.
Night market?
Fruit rojak, guava juice, takoyaki… it’s all there.
Mamak?
Roti canai and teh tarik, open 24 hours.
Satay?
Even the smoke smells good.
Too many choices? We pick one.

MakanApa ambassador for
Your campus
“Can't decide what to eat? Ask me, or let MakanApa pick.”
Made for the way we actually choose food.
MakanApa understands the question because we've all had the same conversation.
“Somewhere close.”
“Under RM20.”
“As long as it’s good.”
“A little spicy is fine.”
“Anything’s fine.”
Okay but… Frequently asked questions
Where do I get it?
MakanApa is on the App Store for iPhone: download it here, or search MakanApa in the App Store. Found a bug? Let us know.
Is it free?
Yes, MakanApa is free to download and use.
Which areas does MakanApa work in?
MakanApa finds places around wherever you are, so it works anywhere there are restaurants nearby. It's built in Malaysia, with Malaysian food in mind.
Do I need an account?
No. Picks, Nearby and saved places all work without one. Adding places, posting and halal reports need an account, so the community knows who's contributing. Sign up later and everything comes with you.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. MakanApa is iPhone only for now.
Does MakanApa keep my location?
Your location is used to find places near you and work out distance. We save it with each pick you ask for, linked to your account, and it's never shown publicly. Read the privacy policy.
How does halal info work?
Each place shows what we actually know: Halal certified, not certified with community notes, or not verified yet. We don't label a place halal without a certificate, and you can help verify places from the app.
How do I become an ambassador?
Join your university or area community in the app, then apply from the Community tab. We read every application. See what ambassadors do.
