Shima's Rice 'N' Oodles - Halal

Ayam Lemak Cili Padi.

A much-loved Malaysian comfort dish — the kind of meal that feels like home from the very first bite.

Tender chicken is gently simmered in a rich coconut milk gravy with fresh turmeric, lemongrass, and a blend of spices. Bird’s eye chillies (cili padi) add a gentle warmth — not overpowering, but enough to wake up your taste buds.

The sauce is creamy, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, paired with jasmine rice, so every bite is full of flavour.

If you enjoy a good curry but want something a little different — less heavy, more aromatic, with a subtle heat — this is one to try. A proper taste of Malaysian home cooking, right here in Bolton Market.

Every great dish has a story.

Nasi Goreng (Fried rice) began as a humble family meal, created to give leftover rice a delicious second life. What started as simple home cooking has become one of Southeast Asia's most beloved dishes, proving that the most memorable food isn't always the most complicated.

Our Nasi Goreng celebrates tradition, comfort and authentic flavours - bringing a little taste of home to every plate.

Shima's Nasi Goreng, available with chicken or prawns. Good on its own, or add Spicy Thai prawn crackers and fried egg for that perfect accompaniment.

Dear Oodlers

We are open 😊 Thank you for your patience. Here's a reminder...

A bowl of comfort, warmth, and a little bit of heat — Laksa is more than just a noodle soup.

This rich, coconut-based broth is infused with aromatic spices, giving it that signature creamy, spicy depth that hugs every strand of noodle. Topped with tender chicken, juicy prawns, tofu puffs that soak up all that flavourful broth, fresh bean sprouts, and eggs for that extra richness, every bite is a balance of flavour and texture.

Finished with a spoonful of Shima's sambal for that glossy, fiery kick — just the way it’s meant to be.

Shima’s take on Laksa — homely, hearty, and full of soul. 🍜🔥
