Meet Bros

We came here because it was close to our hotel and the reviews were good. We did not expect it to be our favourite meal of our trip to London, but it was.

We ordered Filet Mignon, Lamb shank, then the chocolate fondant and the banana fritters for dessert.

The atmosphere was wonderful, one star was deducted due to a child being loud but this is not the fault of the establishment. It did soil the experience slightly.

Everything we ordered was absolutely astounding. The chocolate fondant however was earth-shatteringly good. I couldn’t believe it.

Thank you so much to the people at Meet Bros, and thank you to the universe for having us book a hotel round the corner from here.

I went for a bday dinner and it was pretty nice, the food was like a 7/10 like the chicken burger was a bit poor but the prawn pasta and lasagne were nice, and pretty large portions for fine dining too! The assamenta drink was nice, I’d get it again but aftertaste is a bit mediciney.
The spring rolls are worth the hype and very nice! But the chutney dip is quite sweet

The service was quite poor and took us about 30mins after being sat to be given menus and another 40 or so minutes for It to come out, the food was warm however so that was nice. The lighting and atmosphere is very nice and everything was very clean.

However if you’re a girlie I will say the bathrooms aren’t very big and nice for photos 😕but the rest of the restaurant is nice so 😆

Overall I did enjoy I would maybe come again at a different time since it was peak Christmas evening time

A hidden gem indeed with a lovely ambience. We were treated with extremely friendly and polite staff especially AMU who assisted with deciding on our choice of meal. We would personally like to thank her too as she also ensured my daughters' birthday experience would always be remembered. Oh yes they also supplied extra heating to keep us cosy. Will definitely return! The beef spring rolls and steak are a must have!

This was out first time here and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our hostess was Amu and she paid attention to all our needs, especially to our 3 children. One child did not like the Mac and Cheese so much, Amu kindly took our request immediately to the manager if we could change this and within 10 minutes, a replacement dish was out for the kids.

Our mocktails were lovely, especially the Assamenta (best Mocktail I genuinely have ever had).

The starters were brilliant (we had the duck and the prawn crostinis). The mains we were a bit divided, firdtly thr negative, I had the Curry Lobster Spaghetti. It sounded great, but for the cost, I was slightly let down. The broth was too much and took away the taste of the lobster. The lobster was also overcooked. The broth also had aubergines and some weird chewy tofu blocks that did not go with the dish. For the cost, I wont order this again or any seafood main...

The positive, the angus ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, flavoursome and the sides and sauce were excellent and what Meet Bros probably do best.

The chocolate fondant dessert was divine.

The decor underground and ambiemce was lovely and as I mentioned, the staff were welcoming and Amu especially was brilliant.

Will definitely return... just nit for the seafood main, I will stick to the meats!

I'm a little confused on how this restaurant has such a high rating. We were recommended this restaurant by a friend, and were so eager to try it we booked it immediately.

I'll start with the starters, we ordered prawns, beef spring rolls and nachos. The prawns were cooked beautifully, the fried bread that was put on top was unfortunately so full of oil it was bordering on disgusting. Beef spring rolls lacked flavour, even with the dipping sauce. Nachos were our favourite, good combination of meat to tortilla ratio and the taste was nice.

The drinks - when I pay £11 for a mocktail, I expect to get more than 3 sips. I understand the extortionate price for an alcoholic drink, not for some syrup and lemonade you put into a tiny glass. Extremely disappointing that I then had to order cola on top of the £22 I paid for 2 drinks.

The mains - the steak was basic, not worth the £45, especially when I can go to Cristina's in Barking and get a full sear on my steak. I really enjoyed the broccolini, but again... £8 for broccoli is a bit steep. We also got marrow, which for some reason was mixed with their house gravy when we didn't ask for that?

All in all, we left disappointed and £200 poorer from an experience that we won't want to see again. I like to be able to see my food when I'm eating, and not having to pay an arm and a leg for lemonade with a bit of syrup. The tables were also dangerously close together, so much so that I made friends lol

Maybe the Instagram kids and tiktok snappers will enjoy this place, but if you want a good meal and quality food - then look elsewhere.

Halal Asian cuisine. Formerly Bonda Kitchen

Bonda by Duck & Noodle

My girlfriend and I had the roasted duck noodles, siomay and bandung chia. The food was amazing, full of flavor and the duck was perfectly cooked! The waiter was also really friendly. Will definitely come here again

Halal Malaysian restaurant. Not sure about other dish but the duck here is very good. Order their duck rice. Duck is super juicy. You won’t regret it.  Ask for chili oil. Pro tip, request for breast rather than leg for more meaty juicier experience.
Plus point, toilet is clean with bidet. Prayer room as well.

I searched for a Halal Chinese restaurant, this was one of the restaurants suggested by google.
It’s not Chinese 🇨🇳 cuisine but Malaysian 🇲🇾 cuisine, very bland for my taste.
The place is very clean and welcoming.
The employees were very nice, they offered the drink on the house since I wasn’t a fan of the food.
I came in for a « hot & sour wonton soup », they don’t do it, so i thought why not mix 2 soups they do, hot and sour soup and chicken wonton soup.
The hot and sour is a mixture of a thick red soup, chicken slices, vegetables and 2 prawns. Soup was delicious just not sour nor hot.
The chicken wonton soup which was « wontons in boiled water and green onion (scallions) » not exaggerating, literally.
Service and atmosphere amazing.
Food not for me.
For £28, not a deal breaker

Will not return: decent duck but no alcohol.

We’ve
- Ma Po tofu 麻婆豆腐
- Duck noodle

Both are flavorful but slightly sweet, especially the tofu. The noodles are al dente.

This homey Malaysian restaurant is three minutes away from our hotel. After a long day of travel, the soup hits the spot.

The bonna brand porcelain hand-painted tableware from Turkey is quite attractive.

We came here after seeing the great reviews and were not disappointed. The waitress was so kind and welcoming and very helpful in making suggestions. We wanted dumplings and were very happy with the ones we got. They were very reasonably priced. They were delicious. I will definitely come back.

Roti King- Euston

@rotikinguk

Went to @rotikinguk again after I think almost 2/3 years maybe more I don’t even know anymore, but either way the queue was even worse than the first time, I waited about 1hr 15mins in total 🥲 but in a way it shows how good the food is if ppl are willing to wait for it, found a place nearby as a backup & someone in the queue told me not to bother as it’ll disappoint so I decided to wait 🥲

Anyway, the food.

Beef Rendang: 9/10

Cost £8 & for me it was the right portion, on a bad day I’d have needed 2 rounds of it but this time round the rendang was soooo much better than the first time I had it, also the duck dish has been removed 😪💔 but it had like a mild citrusy hint to it as well which was beautiful.

Sweet roti: 7.5/10

Second dish was this sweet roti with caramelised brown sugar & bananas, this was really good but I felt like it needed some sort of single cream or double cream even to make it even better but was still decent either way.

Overall:

Food: 8.8/10

@eafoodbae's review of Roti King King's Cross on Instagram

Roti King

Absolutely love roti king. Some of the best malay fare in London.

The pratha was nice and flaky. The chicken kari with the roti canai was a solid curry, spicy and flavorful.

The nasi goreng was the perfect combination of sweet savory shrimpy with plenty of wokhei.

The teh tarik was sweet but yummy.

Will definitely go back next time I am on London.

I highly recommend trying Roti King if you've never tried Malaysian food! The food was incredible and the service was very friendly. There are a couple of downsides though. There are not many seating options, so you are basically touching back to back with your table neighbors which makes the atmosphere very claustraphobic. You cannot book in advance, so be prepared to wait in line outside. I only waited about 15-20 minutes for a table of 4 before being seated which felt very reasonable. I would also not recommend if you can't handle some spice! Aside from those things, Roti King had an absolutely delicious rendang. It was incredibly flavorful and filling. The spinach and cheese murtabak (not pictured) is a must try and great for sharing, and the planta and kaya desserts are the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I could dream about the kaya with how wonderful the filling was. The coconut ice cream was delicious and perfectly balanced. Overall, I would absolutely dine at Roti King again.

The food here is really good 😋 and the staff are super nice! I had the Char Kuy Tiu and Laksa – both were delicious, fresh, and packed a spicy kick 🌶️🔥! Loved that wok hei flavor – very authentic 👌. I also tried the iced lemon tea 🍋🥤, which was perfectly refreshing – not too sweet, not too sour.

The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small and gets packed 🪑🤏, so seating isn’t the most comfortable, but I guess that adds to the “authentic” vibe.

Overall, 4/5 ⭐ – definitely recommend if you enjoy Asian food 🍜 and can handle a bit of spice!

Absolute gem of a place!

Dropped in five years ago with my husband for a quick bite (no queue that time!) before catching a train and we were hooked from that first, perfectly flaky roti canai. Later moved to London and their insanely flavourful nasi goreng became a favourite post-work dinner.

Tonight there was a wait, but the service was fast and the food as good as ever. No nasi goreng… because they felt the last batch of rice was overcooked. It’s rare that a restaurant says they can’t serve a dish because it’s not up to their own standards, and I really value that honesty and commitment to quality.

(Finally… the prices are ridiculously reasonable given the quality, freshness and location moments from London Euston!)

Roti King is London’s go-to spot for authentic Malaysian comfort food 🇲🇾✨.

Nothing fancy — just comfort food. Famous for its flaky, buttery roti canai served with rich curries, it’s the kind of meal that hits all the right nostalgic notes. The menu also packs favorites like nasi lemak, beef rendang, and mee goreng — bold, hearty flavors at very reasonable prices. 🍛🔥

The vibe is no-frills and always buzzing, especially since it’s tucked just by Euston in Somers Town 🚇🍴.

Service is fast and efficient, portions are generous, and the food is consistently satisfying. A must-visit if you’re craving true Malaysian flavors in the heart of London. 🌆💙

Duck & Noodle

Food- the portion is quite small. The taste was fine - nothing extraordinary. I had to pay £4.80 extra for chilli sauce!!!

Service- inattentive and curt. They include a compulsory service charge of 10%!

Atmosphere- the restaurant was busy and clean.

Food looks amazing but tastes so average not worth the price at all! I've had better stir fry for much cheaper. Personally would not recommend it. Like that its Halal and there is a variety to choose from but just not for my taste.... I was so excited to eat here after getting recommended by my brother did not reach the expectations. They also added the 10% service charge that was not deserved managed to get it refunded.

Lovely little place. Simple but serves up really good food. We opted for the dim sum platters. Kung Pao Prawns, Egg fried rice. Malay chicken curry. Beef noodles. Everything was so yummy that we did two rounds. Yep two rounds. Staff friendly. I think we were also greeted by the owners. Whom we told the food was too good full of flavour. Oh and the fresh juices. So good. Need to come back to try more options.

Unbelievably good food. Not even joking when I say this place is a must. I was blown away with the service and how quick the food was served. We went with 4 children and they loved it. My advise Is to go there for around 6:30pm, its easy to find parking at that time. Enjoy your meal, take your time . Then drive to Chinatown for dessert or another quick bite. Don't go by what I say just try it ! You won't be disappointed.

My friend and I enjoyed our evening meal on Tuesday so much, that I ended up going back for lunch the next two days. The food here is INCREDIBLE and amazing value for money! The service is also top notch, especially Patricia, who is an asset to this restaurant and made us feel incredibly welcome and looked after us so well. She is the true meaning of service with a smile. If you’re nearby and looking for a decent meal then don’t hesitate to come here. I would highly recommend the house special fried rice and sweet & sour chicken! The spring rolls are also a great starter!

Deliveroo UK

Tukdin

It was my first time having Malaysian food. It was absolutely amazing, the flavours were really powerful and I especially loved the salted egg chicken. The service was really good: friendly and knowledgeable staff, I also loved the milo iced drink and condensed milk iced tea. Would definitely go again and try other options on the menu.

Quiet Gem in London!
The food was delicious, and the service from all the lovely staff (Syaza, Izzat and Maz) was outstanding! So thoughtful and nice and everything done with a smile. May Allah reward them for their effort!

Really great neighborhood restaurant if you’re craving authentic Malaysian food. All the dishes we ordered were solid and we can’t wait to come back to try more dishes. Really liked the noodle dish as well as the peanut sauce with vegetables and fried tofu. Only thing that could’ve been better would be the roti canai and was a bit on the pricier side (came out to £82 for the two of us) but otherwise a great dining experience!

Such a gem! The food is sooo tasty, the restaurant is authentic and atmosphere is chill. You can share dish no 31 between two people as well as homemade bread which they make in front of you!! and hummus.

Been to this place a few times now, and never disappointed. The dishes were authentic, delicious, and came in big portions. Very good value for the price for sure. Absolutely loved their oxtails soup, and their weekend special - Nasi Ayam was really nice as well. Will definitely come back for more soon.

Malaysian Deli

This is nothing like Malaysian food.

We ordered what was supposed to be roti canai and veggie kari melayu. The roti was undercooked and soggy. The vegetable “curry” literally tasted like frozen veggies that hadn’t been microwaved all the way through submerged in a pool of diluted daal. The food also took forever to arrive. It was not worth the wait and definitely not worth the amount of money we paid. I understand the kitchen might be busy but this is unacceptable from a restaurant.

What a wonderful gem of a restaurant hidden in Crofton Park. I’ve lived here for years and only recently noticed this restaurant. My friend and I decided to try our luck getting a table when they opened on Sunday night. Luckily for us they managed to squeeze us in. The staff were so friendly and the decor feels like you’ve been invited into a family home and this combination was perfect. I ordered the vegetarian rendang (photo 1) curry and some coconut rice. They were delicious, seasoned perfectly and the portions were really generous. We were both so full when we left that we welcomed the stroll home. They also let you BYOB for £2 which was great as we didn’t have to spend money on expensive alcohol. I also checked the hygiene rating which is a 5 so that’s the icing on the cake. A really great under the radar local Malaysian restaurant - please book and support them as we need businesses like this thriving in the local area. We both said we can’t wait to return!

I previously gave this place 5 stars, and years later I would still do the same. Small and simple menu but the food is good and authentic. I like it.

Really enjoyed eating here - I thought the Mackerel Sambal was particularly good. Prices were also reasonable, a fairly sizeable one course dinner for 2 came to £35ish total. Lots of fun!

We came here after hearing positive things and were excited to try it. The service wasn’t great from the get go, as we waited 20 minutes before waving the gentleman down to take our drinks order (we were the only people in there). The food was so bad, the chicken was the driest, toughest chicken I’d ever had in a curry. The Roti was pale and doughy. The boiled eggs were grey from being severely over boiled. I was shocked at how bad it was given the Google rating. It was reasonably priced at £70 for 3 people, but given the service, food and how dated and tired the interiors are, perhaps not.

Peninsula Shoreditch(Malaysian & Indian Cuisine)

We tried Roti Canai here and couldn’t fault it. Really fragrant Dal and one of the flakiest roti I’ve had in UK. The charred bits on the roti adds wonderful flavour. It’s made fresh to order as well so must try if you are in the area.

The Nasi Lemak was disappointing. Fried chicken was frozen chicken strips, the sort you can get from your local chicken shop. The rice was Basmati instead of Jasmine and the roti canai was from frozen package like you can buy at Tesco. The curry was OK but overall not worth the money paid. You cannot advertise as genuine Malaysian food.

Rice and condiments were good, reasonably priced as well. Sambal chili could be spicier and the chicken was not authentic (chicken fingers instead of chicken wings as advertised?). Worth it if you’re in the area and are craving Malaysian/Singaporean food.

The devils chicken was really crispy despite being drenched in sauce. It was a perfect spicy so you could enjoy the food and not sob like a baby at the heat. Good portion sizes too.

Fantastic rice and sambal but we (Singaporeans) were quite taken aback by the fact that the fried crispy chicken = chicken tenders??? £10

Peninsula

Peninsula Croydon

Just had Char Kwai Teow (seafood). It would taste better if you go easy on the soy sauce. It’s too salty, but it’s not bad, just too salty.

If you can add lap cheung (Chinese cured sausage) - even a few slices - that would be great (and “authentic”). I think this isn’t something westerners won’t eat?

Also hope you can use bean sprouts instead of cabbage.

In any case, as long as you make it less salty, even without the other suggestions above, I will still order this again.

The person who served me was very helpful. He reminded the time I would need to wait for my order before taking it. I would like to commend him on that.

Absolutely delicious food. It's a great place to satisfy South Asian and South East Asian cravings. I especially enjoyed the chicken fried rice, chicken nasi gooren, and roti canai. Food comes fast, and tastes delicious. And the portion size is very generous.
10/10. 100% recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Ordered the nasi lemak £10.99 for some authentic flavours of Malaysia is not a bad price. The rendang was very nice

DELICIOUS DONT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. Out of all the places we ate at in London during our trip, this one was BY FAR the best. It is the only place we returned to. Lovely service, delicious and authentic south East Asian food. Will be returning here next time I’m in London.

Best food. We ordered chicken biriyani and chicken fried rice. I am not exaggerating, but I believe Peninsula serves one of the best authentic South Indian style foods. Excellent!

Peninsula Wembley(Malaysian and Indian cuisine)

Mutton rolls - They were nice and spicy but there was too much filling.

Roti - Undercooked. I could taste the flour.

Chicken curry - The chicken pieces were nice but the curry was super watery.

Nasi lemak - Not great.

I recently had a wonderful meal at Peninsula, a restaurant in Boxpark Wembley that serves food from South & South east Asia. I ordered the banana leaf plate, which was packed with flavor and came with generous portions. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious and authentic food.

Here are some of the things I loved about Peninsula:

The food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were so vibrant and complex, and the dishes were all perfectly cooked.

The portions were generous. I could have easily shared my banana leaf plate with someone else.

The staff were friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer my questions and make recommendations.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Peninsula. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

This was the worst Nasi Lemak I have had in my life, everything was so poor. Fried chicken was not fried but put in the oven and dry. Sambal was not nice either and really not authentic to Malaysian cuisine. Satay chicken was better but yh for the price proper let down.

I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a restaurant that served the most amazing Roti canai with chicken curry! The flavors were incredibly special, and every bite was a delight to my taste buds. The roti was excellent, adding an extra layer of deliciousness to the overall experience. I highly recommend trying their roti canai if you're in the city – you won't be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

First time I tried Malaysian food, It was amazing. Great customer service and gives you that homely touch to the food.
Also I highly recommend their hot tea “Teh Tarik” it is a delight.

Definitely we will be going back.

Kopitiam breakfast, brunch and dinner Wednesday - Sunday

SUDU - Malaysian Eatery

A very chic and clean setup. Loved the mood lighting and the actual real candles. The restaurant was a little tight but cozy, perfect for a cold night. The Roti Cani and Laksa were phenomenal and the Beff Rengdan was also pretty good (beef was a little tough). The Spicy beef berlada was a little too strong with the shrimp paste chilly. Overall loved the location with a nice cozy setup and good comfort food for a chilly night.

Malaysian food is a bit spicy for me, but the wife loved that.  My pad Thai was very very tasty. The less stars given for the atmosphere and service is because we were asked to wait, even if there were empty tables ( allegedly booked, but the people arrived AFTER we already finished and were going to pay). But as restaurant goes,  very nice and suggested. The anchovies ruth peanuts entree... amazing

Its an amazing place … period. Malaysian food in a very modern cafe vibe. Doesn’t play Malaysian music and it doesn’t have too much of that classic home vibe which is not necessarily a bad thing. So its a mix of home and London which is chill and I like. Like the bar lady was wearing traditional clothes which was cute for that local touch. Food was good. Had nasi lemak, the breakfast kopitiam- ie malaysian style toast and eggs. If you’re craving that, this is the place for it, spot on. The nasi lemak was ok, cant scream about it though. Id come back from sure!

Great neighbourhood gem serving delicious, authentic Malaysian food. We went on a Wednesday night and it was buzzing. I only wish they’d add sparkling wine options to their wine list!

Hi Sudu,
I didn't get the name of the 2 nice guys serving us. They smile and look like really enjoying serving the visitors. I cannot took some pictures of the ambience because it was quite a full house that Sunday Night.
The ambience : warm, friendly and very welcoming.
The Location : strategically placed very close to Queen's Park Underground station.
The Food
Chicken Nasi Goreng : BEST with a significant smokey note, big chunk of chicken and 🫛 green peas.
Nasi Lemak Fried Chicken : Marvellous, 4 pcs of freshly cooked crunchy chicken, with the taste of galangal and kaffir lime leaves. And the sambal is very authentic.
Rojak Salad : in Indonesia we say "Rujak". Very original taste of Rujak, sweet, sour, spicy.. fresh fruits although they are not tropical fruit as normal ORIGINAL Rujak, but it is indeed still VERY NICE.
The Toilet : is accessible.
Parking space : this one we don't know because we coming by the tube.

Overall.. ALL WONDERFUL.
IF you ever have time to visit Queen's Park When you are in London, please find SUDU. For my fellow asian especially from SEA, if you ever miss your hometown for and beverage, you need to VISIT  SUDU.

All the best, keep the good work.
Thank you for the very nice dinner.

All items on the menu is from a HMC Halal certified supplier.

Authentic, traditional Malaysian Restaurant

Normah's

We were super glad to find out this place lived up to hype, especially in a city where good Malaysian food is far and few!

The roti was all flakes no bread, piping hot and the best dish of all. We particularly enjoyed the beef rendang (effortlessly pulled meat) and fried chicken (crispy outside, juicy inside).

Do expect the service to be slower as it’s a one man band—but where Asian food is often fast and furious, it was a nice to appreciate a slower change of pace. (It definitely didn’t hold back on spice either and surprised us too!)

We’d love to come back even just for the roti!

If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. Normah’s by far exceeds expectations when it comes to Malaysian food. It has a small menu (which is always a good sign in my opinion, focus on quality vs quantity) with well known Malaysian dishes I.e. laksa, nasi goreng. We have been twice and have tried the beef rendang, the dhaal, prawn laksa (the prawns are fresh), fried chicken and nasi goreng. All have been 10/10. As a Muslim, I love to see other Muslim/immigrant owned businesses doing so well at bringing bits of their culture and heritage to the UK. Sometimes it is tricky to get a table but if you plan ahead it’s not impossible.

Came on a few occasions with a reservation, each time I came I saw people being rejected due to not having booked. I don't think it's worth coming in case there's space. Booking opens once a month and is fully booked very quickly. On the other hand for those who manage to make a booking, it's just great.

The place is tiny and tables are also quite tiny, located in a very curious Queensway market (follow left to find the place with which the restaurant shares the toilets, not a huge amount of them). For drinks is recommend their lemonade, really nice and refreshing. I tried beef rendang with roti (probably best I've tried in London, both rendang and the incredibly crispy roti), nasi lemak with fried chicken (really nicely crispy, also highly recommended) and mee goreng with King prawn (which came really close to the one I tried and fell in love with in Australia). All the dishes really paired well with the Malaysian salad in starter section. I really cannot fault the cooking, it is incredible. I'd though perhaps suggest to serve more variety of starters (other than salad that works great with mains and fried chicken).

I'll continue coming regularly and setting up alarm for the booking opening date/time. Probably the best Malaysian in London, would strongly recommend. I also found their prices to be quite reasonable. Yet to pay more than £50 for 2. The booking system suggests it's cash only but they're quite happy to get a quick bank transfer as well.

Amazing and most delicious experience at Normah's. Hands down, THE BEST Malaysian food I ever had, not that I'm an expert. But it was delicious, so that all that counts. The portion sizes are generous just like at home. Mine and my friend's eyes couldn't decide what to get everything sounded so good on the menu. We've been wishing and dreaming of tasting Normah's cooking for ages now and we did not get disappointed. The service is extra welcoming and special, thank you. Even though you have to try your best to book and reservations close fast, I definitely recommend trying. We will be coming back for sure. Thank you so much for your cooking and hospitality 🙏🙏

Roti King at Queensway Market  London’s Finest Malaysian, If You Can Secure a Table

Securing a reservation at this hidden gem is essential walk-ins are routinely turned away, and bookings (released monthly) vanish within minutes. Plan ahead and set a reminder; spontaneous visits are rarely rewarded. Tucked inside the eclectic Queensway Market (follow signs to the left; shared restrooms are limited), the dining room is intimate, with compact tables that suit small groups. Despite the modest setting, the food is nothing short of exceptional. Standout dishes include:

Roti with beef rendang arguably the best in London: roti impossibly crisp and flaky, paired with deeply flavorful, slow-cooked rendang.

Nasi lemak with crispy chicken – fragrant coconut rice, sambal, and chicken with shatteringly crisp skin.

Asam pedas seabass – bold, tangy, and perfectly balanced; mind the bones.

The teh tarik is a must frothy, refreshing, and expertly pulled. Cooking is consistently outstanding; every element harmonizes. Prices are fair for central London, though a cash-only policy (with bank transfer accepted on request) slightly complicates things. A minor quibble in an otherwise flawless experience. Verdict: Quite possibly London’s top Malaysian restaurant. Tiny, fiercely popular, and worth every effort to book. I’ll keep setting monthly alarms this is destination dining. Strongly recommended for anyone who loves authentic, soulful Southeast Asian flavors. The improvement it should make is more capacity and more bookings because it feels like buying a concert ticket.

Canteen-style Indochinese venue with an open kitchen and communal tables 

Banana Tree Battersea

We had a lovely celebration of our daughters 18th birthday. We had a bottomless brunch. Quite often on these kinds of lunches the food is not very nice. However the food at Banana tree was fantastic. We had a very lovely waitress called Jinal. She gave us a complimentary birthday cake with ice cream for our daughter. We were definitely recommend the banana tree and will be returning soon.

Lovely calm atmosphere. Shamil was attentive, without being overly assertive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and smiled throughout the service. A pleasant experience. Thank you!

We went today for my twin cousins’ bday and the staff were so friendly and helpful - thank you so much for being so kind❤️they brought us cake at the end which was really lovely of them too and as always the food was amazing!

Delicious pad Thai chicken noodles, it can get very noisy in the restaurant. Making it hard to hear!
Expensive cocktails even with 2-1 offer £14.35 each for pornstar martini!
Had desserts which were both nice (expensive again)

We had a lovely time, food and service was great. Shamir took care of us and made sure we had what we needed. His service was great! Will definitely be coming back again :)

All chicken and beef on our menu is Halal.

Banana Tree

Banana Tree Westbourne Grove

I loved dining at Banana tree today. Me and my two other friends came for a get together and the service was amazing. Renuka was very accommodating and had such a friendly approach with us going above and beyond to make sure our experience was nice. The food was amazing. I ordered the spiced noodles and they were perfectly seasoned. We also got the dumplings, chicken wings and satay sticks and they were all tasty. The portion size was a nice generous amount. We also got the banana sticky rice which was also such a nice dessert.  Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice place for a meet up with good food.

Banana Tree has become my regular choice for lunch, and for good reason. The portions are always generous – more than enough to leave me satisfied, with leftovers quite often. My personal favourite is the Firecracker Bowl – it hits the perfect balance of spice and flavour, and the textures are always spot on. The rice, chicken, and veggies are consistently cooked well, and the dish feels both hearty and fresh.

I’ve tried a few other dishes from their menu as well, and they’ve all been reliably tasty – nothing ever feels rushed or bland. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better, especially when you’re popping in on a busy day.

Highly recommend if you’re after a filling, flavourful, and dependable meal.

(halal too!)

Went to banana tree with my nieces for casual dine at Westbourne grove branch, the food is always nice as usual and the service has always been top notch for me as i have visited few times. Mr Ronnie Rohit Hubbert was especially attentive and friendly also gave us their new soy sauce ice cream on the house as i was disappointed tht they have stopped doing my favourite desert the black rice pudding. Anyhow i still like visiting their for their food and 2for1 mocktail.

Really enjoyed my time dining in here. The service was super quick and staff were very friendly and helpful with going over the menu with me. They have lots of vegan options that were very tasty. Cocktails were very good as well. Make sure to go during their happy hour to try more drinks. The fried banana dessert was very good as well. Overall, light and refreshing cusine. Would recommend and visit again for sure.

Best laksa I have ever had.. the flavours were so nice.. and I’ve had a lot of laksa’s over my time.

Banana Tree West Hampstead

We stopped by for dinner on a freezing cold day, and this was exactly the warm, comforting meal we needed. We ordered quite a feast: the Beef Massaman Curry, Beef Rendang, Ramen with Chicken Gyoza, and the Chicken Laksa. Honestly, every single dish was amazing—huge portions and great value for the price.
A special shout-out to our waiter, Blasio, who was incredibly nice, polite, and gave us some fantastic recommendations. We will definitely be coming back!

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The food was full of flavour — beautifully spiced, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Every dish felt authentic and full of personality, from the fragrant Singapore noodles to the tender satay.

What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Eryk was absolutely brilliant — friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time. He offered excellent recommendations and checked in at just the right moments without being intrusive.

It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the service, but this one definitely does. I’ll definitely be coming back — and recommending it to friends!

Every member of the staff was great, but we really liked our server, Shamil. He took very good care of us and all of his recommendations were perfect. They hit the spot! We ate the veggie spring rolls, veggie gyoza with sweet chili, chicken masaman, steak soba noodles, and a mango rice pudding with two pornstar martinis, and it couldn't have been a more delicious meal.

John is the best restaurant manager I ever met ! He is so kind and generous and so good at his job ! He is numero uno ! I visit often and the food and service is always fab !

Honestly, the best banana tree ever. Laksa and ramen were delicious. Eryk and Kainat took care of us so well. Also the chef was kind enough to adjust the food according to our wish. Really recommend!

Banana Tree Islington

My first visit at this place.
Been welcomed by a staff member and a manager who seated me while she could as it was a little busy.
She was very polite and friendly.
I ordered tofu laksa and I asked for no aubergine inside as I don’t like it.
The soup was full of flour and spicy but I been warned and I was aware of it as well but I don’t mind spices.
I been asked if I am allergic to anything and also the special lunch offer was presented to me and I could have free soft drink.
The decor is nice and cozy.
I paid 12.32£ which I think is reasonable.
The wait for the food wasn’t long at all.
Thanks.

Not as busy and didn't have the hectic rumble of other Banana Trees. So the food came quickly and efficiently.

Alex our service provider was funny and charming. Had good banter and made good recommendations.

The atmosphere was chilled and I wasn't in a rush to eat even with the 90 mins time for the "Bottomless Bowl". I would highly recommend and it's only 5 mins away from Angel station.

Excellent service from some very lovely staff, made us feel truly welcome. Interiors are very nice and family friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, lots of variety to choose from, you're effectively spoilt for choice. The Banana Fritters at the end was incredible and a great way to finish the meal. Highly recommended!

We opted for a selection of small plates/starters and not one of them disappointed. Such flavour and delicious dishes.
Staff are very welcoming and attentive throughout our dining experience.
I would highly recommend.

I had a great experience at Banana Tree in Angel. The customer service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and very quick. I ordered the lunch deal and was impressed with how delicious the food was and how fast it arrived. Overall, a really smooth and enjoyable visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Mei Mei

I wouldn't know about this place if it wasn't for Uncle Roger. Ordering food is very convenient, as you can do it just by using the touch screen ordering device. There's only a couple of meals to choose from, but it's enough. The restaurant specialise in Hainanese Chicken and Nasi Lemak. I tried both and it was truly awesome. Although the portion are a bit too small. We came on Sunday, expecting huge crowds, but ordering takes a couple of minutes and another five to get your food, so it was super quick. I'd love to come back to try Char Siu Pork. Great food and service, a real must-try food experience!

The food is alright. My chicken rice was tasteful albeit not even being warm. Kaya toast was yum, reminds me of home but, very pricey.
As a tourist - it’s suffice.

I notice other comments about not accepting cash being tourist. Yes I always carry cash with me but that’s a pathetic reason to give a venue low rating. It’s called a Travel card that doesn’t have international transaction fees, it’s not hard to google to find out about it.

I love the food and drinks at Mei Mei! Especially the Iced Bandung! 🌸 When I fly to London, I go there at least once. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is not simply rice with chicken, it‘s more than that. 😌

One of the best places for Singapore food. Tucked away in the lovely Borough market.
The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the Chai Sui Pork meal with chicken broth rice, fried egg on top their chilli oil yummmm (if there is one thing you get make it this one) and the fried chicken was utterly delicious 🤤 . The milo chocolate drink is fantastic. I’ve also ordered online via their shop and utterly love the kaya toast. I’m a massive fan and will keep going back. Fantastic service and super lovely staff.

I recently tried the Hainanese Chicken Rice at Mei Mei, and it was absolutely delicious! The dish was wonderfully tasty and incredibly flavourful. A definite must-try for anyone looking for Singaporean flavours.

Satay House Malaysian Restaurant

It is the BEST satays in London. You can pass the information to your friends. The Malaysian waitors provided good service too.

That is the closest taste to home of Singapore. 🇸🇬 You can taste the fatty chicken & charcoal taste. It is traditional way of how Singapore does it… they BBQ the chicken sticks on the fire 🔥 charcoal. You can request pork, lamb or chicken. :)

Satay House Restaurant is such a nice spot and definitely a must-visit if you’re craving Malaysian food in London. It’s the oldest Malaysian restaurant in town and you can really taste the authenticity in their dishes.

The chicken satay was the highlight of our meal, so, so good! Honestly the best satay I’ve had in London. I had the bee hoon sup, which was the perfect warm and comforting bowl, while my boyfriend had the nasi goreng kampung. The flavours really hit the spot, though we both wished it still came with kangkung instead of peas. His parents ordered the Nasi Campur, and both the kari ayam and kari kambing were absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend this restaurant. They even have a menu that works really well for big groups. Authentic, tasty, and worth the visit!

We have tried Kari Laksa and Ayam Lemak Cili Api , both are finger licking good and very tasty. The portion sizes are decent too and the only thing would be cost of Roti bread is 9 GBP which i felt is too high just for a roti bread but its very good though . But otherwise its must visit and must try for this little cozy Malaysian food place

Nice place to enjoy some Malaysian Cuisine especially if you need some Sambal Belacan(note: not spicy enough for our SEA tastebuds).

Must must Book in advance!!

Fried Banana ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kway Teow Goreng
Satay!!
Mee Sup

This is my favourite Malay restaurant in London. I discovered it 10+ years ago thanks to a Malay friend and I always come back when visiting London. I particularly recommend their Kari Laksa, Nasi Lemak and Roti Chanai with fish curry sauce.

Satay House

Old Chang Kee Covent Garden

Delicious curry puffs! The gentleman that helped us was very nice and made the selection process very easy. Tons of puffs to choose from and you can just get one or four and keep walking. They other stuff on the menu but we couldn’t resist the puffs. Highly recommend stopping in here we got the signature chicken and the curry potato.

The food here was overpriced for the small quantity served. Taste-wise, it was very disappointing, especially when compared to Singapore OCK. The curry puff was hard and dry, and the chicken curry was bland and watery. On a positive note, the staff were very nice and friendly

The curry puffs are amazing. Never tried anything so good. Puff pastry with the most delicious curry inside. Absolutely love them and cannot wait to try more flavours!

Curry puffs were fabulous 😋 Malaysian style curry flavour with chicken and veg. Other fillings available. Disappointingly we only bought one each. 'will be visiting again soon.
Visited a second time earlier today, this time had Nasi Lemak with Singapore chicken curry including chunky potatoes together with rice, cucumber, fried anchovies and sambal - FABULOUS 🤩

Been there for several times! The food is good and lovely price! I ordered signature Singaporean chicken curry with rice. It tasted as good as I expected! Other course like laksa and Nasi Lemak also great! High recommend!

The store is so cozy and cute.

Staff there are excellent!! They were all very friendly and nice! I asked if I can get some more curry sauce(because sauce is the best part!) and they said yes, and game me some more in a separate bowl I found this so kind and smart.

A big thank you!

Old Chang Kee

Took advantage of a warm summer eve during the heatwave this week to check out @batterseapwrstn for the first time! There are some good foodie options to choose from in the area, an outdoor cinema & some crazy golf to keep you entertained ⛳️ 

It would have been rude not to stop by @rotikinguk for some Malaysian food - one of my favourite cuisines 😍

We ordered roti canai w/ mutton curry, nasi goreng 🍤 & a roti w/ coconut jam for dessert 🥥 Everything on the menu is حلال. A cold teh tarik is just what I needed in that weather too 💦 

In terms of parking, there’s only really one option nearby in a private car park which charges by the hour. Even then, it wasn’t very clear which bays were for the general public. You’re better off getting the underground, seeing as there’s a brand new station here 👍🏽

@halalfoodbae's review of Roti King on Instagram

Roti King Battersea

A little bit of a wait but we were 8 people and it was really worth it. Portions are big and fresh. Food cane fast and the waiters are polite and courteous. Mohan was really attentive and kept us up to date while we were waiting so we weren’t anxious or anything. Come for a good meal and a full stomach.

I try not to be critical with my food reviews.

However for the amount of money you spend, I would be very selective with the dishes here. Best to observe what the other customers are ordering to facilitate your decision.

The beef rendang I had was not authentic. Honestly tasted like curry/korma instead of beef rendang. Didn’t finish my food.

The nasi goreng and roti telur isn’t bad; if you’re homesick.

Saw other guests ordering the mee goreng mamak and kway teow.

Customer service is good. Fast. Attentive. Probably this is the saving grace.

Food-wise, it’s probably worth eating something non-malaysian for the same price. Or just avoid the beef rendang so as not to leave disappointed.

Went with a group of friends and had an amazing time! The food was fantastic—flavorful, generous portions, and every dish we tried was mouth-watering. We sampled a variety of items, and everything was consistently delicious. The whole group enjoyed it, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

London food is awesome - Roti King was another in the chain of superhits during our short stay here. Crowded, small - you may have to wait. We decided to opt for seating outside and that jumped the wait queue. Food is fast and tastes amazing. We loved everything - nasi lemak, mei goreng, nasi goreng, roti canai in chicken, beef, and dhal (dal). The drinks (mojito, margarita) are ok, better than nothing. Location is superbly convenient if you are taking the boat.

Lovely food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Alekhya and Mohan were amazing servers and the food was brought out very fast! My first time trying Malaysian food and will definitely be coming back

All good on our menu is Halal. Alcohol is sold at this location.

Gopal's Corner Victoria

As someone with roots in Malaysia, who hasn't been back in almost 15 years, and who has been searching for Malaysian food wherever I am that unlocks my memories, I am happy to say that I finally found Gopal's. From the roti to the laksa to the teh tarik, I feel the flavors of Malaysia's legendary cuisine respected and showcased here. The staff are kind, attentive, and work with a fervor.

Delicious Malaysian Indian food. We ordered Banana leaves rice with ayam berempah, fried chicken herbs, 5 pieces of Ayam berempah as side dish and Roti Canai with Dahl. We ordered teh tarik, pulled tea for drinks. All very tasty, chicken well seasoned and full of flavour, best roti in town. Reasonable price, good portion size. No service charge.
Food Court / Marketplace style
Toilet available
Free tap water available
Music is a bit too loud, feels like you are in a club and difficult to have conversations.

Absolutely marvelous. Visiting from Germany and haven’t had Malaysian food in a while and this absolutely slaps. It feels like a banana leaf and Nasi kandar fusion. Atmosphere amazing. Mutton curry, ayam goreng berempah, chutney, sambal belacan were all amazing. Definitely will come again the next time we visit London. Thank you for the great experience!

had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented on a banana leaf, which added a nice authentic touch.

The service was efficient, and the ambiance had a welcoming, vibrant vibe. One thing to note: they only accept card payments, no cash, so make sure you're prepared.

Overall, a truly iconic spot for anyone who loves great food and a unique dining experience. Highly recommended!

My Malaysian friend introduced me to this place, and ever since, it’s been my go-to spot whenever I'm in London. I absolutely love the food here — it’s incredibly delicious and full of flavour. The portions are generous, and the banana leaf servings remind me of my hometown, which adds a personal touch. The service is always warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place if you're in London — it’s a must-try!

We don’t sell alcohol but all three Markethalls sites in Oxford street, Victoria and Canary Wharf have a bar.

Gopal's Corner

Head over to @markethalls in Canary Wharf to grab a bite from one of the many food vendors (plenty of halal options) or alternatively get a picnic together, along with your friends & spend an hour or more on the water with @goboatcanarywharf 🛶 

Obviously I was going to choose @gopalscorner for my food of choice, with zero regrets 😍

Renting the boats costs £95 for an hour & the maximum number of passengers is 8 in total. Picnics & dogs are encouraged! 🐶 Alternative locations are Kingston, Paddington & even Birmingham📍

Book in advance to avoid disappointment & leave yourself plenty of time to find the correct docking point. *For Canary Wharf, find the Go Boat counter next to Hawksmoor*

@halalfoodbae's review of Gopal's Corner Canary Wharf on Instagram

Gopal’s Corner

Was really looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint. I went on Saturday 2 Jan 2026 lunchtime and it was quite busy generally in the food hall, but after ordering at the counter, the food was ready in a timely manner. I ordered the fried chicken banana leaf meal (husband had the chicken curry banana leaf meal) and a side of mutton rolls. It was all beautifully presented and the taste lived up to how it looked. I thought it to be really good value for money, the portions are generous without losing any quality of taste. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. The mutton rolls were a generous size, crispy, spicy and delicious. The fried chicken was very tasty and not too greasy or oily. All the acompaniments - veggies, potatoes, sauces, rice, popadom, fried chilies - were great.

My husband and I were staying at the Marriott hotel opposite, so location wise was perfect. Also close to the Elizabeth line for anyone coming that way.  I’d already gotten fed up of the abundance of restaurants in the area which charge a lot of money and deliver a subpar experience (average food, ridiculous upcharges, etc). Gopal’s corner is one I’m definitely going to return to when we stay at the Marriott again, and I can imagine I will eat there multiple times during our stay.

Thanks to Mr Gopal and team for satisfying my spicy Asian food fix!

The banana leaf meal is quite expensive for the quantity provided. Unfortunately, the food was served cold, which was disappointing. The overall preparation was very basic and the taste was below average. The mutton curry included in the meal was bland and lacked flavor. The side dishes were below average and did not meet the expected standard. The only positive aspect was the roti, which was well prepared and enjoyable.

I ordered the £9.95 lunch deal from Gopal's Corner in Canary Wharf. I chose the prawn roti wrap accompanied by fried okra fries with the mint yoghurt dip. The cold Malaysian pulled tea (teh tarik) was incredibly refreshing on a hot day.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere and service were excellent. Highly  recommend coming here for delicious Malaysian street food!

Authentic Malaysian food! Reasonable price and great service from the cook and waitress. Definitely recommend

Food was ok though abit salty - enjoyed their Mutton Rolls, Curries was ok, their Roti was on the thicker side and wasn't really a fan od their Dosa...

I got the seafood laksa and mutton rolls while my friend got the chicken banana leaf platter. Lasksa was tasty and a good size. Mutton rolls were flavourful but could have been a larger portion. My friend enjoyed her food but said the okra fries could have been less salty.

great food, fast service, good prices and halal too.  we went there for lunch before uni so it was pretty busy but luckily we got a table. would definitely go again.

I ordered a takeaway from Gopal’s Corner on Oxford Street today as I was in the area, and I’m honestly disappointed. The food was drenched in low-quality oil, and the portion size was shockingly small for £12.50. I received just four tiny prawns — this dish used to come with king prawns! Feeling cheated and still hungry! Definitely not the quality or value it once had.

toooooo much oil i felt nauseous after eating this. the bread was good though and the nasi lamak was okay but it tasted too strong of prawns.  + the iced tea was okay but a bit too sweet for my liking.

The most amazing food we’ve had on our trip to London, the chicken curry is buttery, flavoursome, has a perfect blend of chillis and mixed spices, it melts in your mouth and is delicious, the rotis are buttery, flaky and to-die-for!! Sudhakar is so kind and makes the best food! Excellent service too! Thank you so much we will definitely revisit whenever we’re in London on Oxford Street!!

Putera Puteri

Amongst the many Malaysian restaurants popping up all over London, Putera Puteri is one of the few that serve Nasi Kandar, a specialty from Penang that I would consider an underrated dish in the perception of Malaysian cuisine abroad. Although what I ate was filling and very delicious, I do feel their rendition of Nasi Kandar can be improved.

Fortunately, the mixed curry was really good and taste just as it would back home with a slight sweetness and spice. Ultimately, my main issue was with the ratio of rice and protein. The portion of rice is too small for me hence i ended up having to finish the beef 'Daging masak hitam' (which was good and plentiful) without rice. Also, having only one ring of fried squid (which was also delicious) made it feel immaterial. Most importantly, I would have loved for the fried chicken to be something much more associated with Nasi Kandar such as 'ayam goreng mamak' or 'ayam bawang' instead of the normal one I got.

Overall, I paid £28 for 1 Nasi Kandar & 1 Sirap Bandung which at the end of the day was delicious and lasted me an entire day of walking around London. Still, I highly recommend everyone to try Nasi Kandar here or wherever you can find it in London instead of the still delicious but unimaginative Nasi Lemak with Rendang that every Malaysian restaurant here seems to offer.

Malaysians know how to eat. This street food style cafe serves delicious Malaysian staples freshly cooked from the open kitchen. I had the Laksa which was superb, a rich slightly spicy broth with fresh veggies egg and chicken and noodles. Portion was very generous at £13.95 unbeatable. This place is not about the decor and experience its about the delicious food what you expect in SE Asia.

Last month we went there for lunch. It was our first time trying Malaysian food!
It’s a small place, but they offer a good variety of dishes.
I’d love to try other dishes when I have the chance to come back :)

This place is an absolute underrated authentic gem.

Honestly, as soon as I walked in everything about it was perfect. From the lovely welcoming staff to the peaceful & laid back atmosphere and the incredible authentic food. Everything was 10/10.

I ordered the roti with chicken curry to start 11/10
Filled by the Nasi lemak with fried chicken. I asked the staff about trying a little beef rendang and they very kindly added a generous amount to my dish at no extra charge.

On top of this, I had asked the staff about the tradition mini cakes they make and he very kindly gave me and my friend each a selection of 3 different kinds to try. He also gave us some extras to take home.

Such a perfect evening, with delicious authentic food and the loveliest staff. Guaranteed to have a nice experience if you come.

And extra thanks to the lovely guy who welcomed us in and served us. I Will be coming back for sure

Great vibes. Feel like being in Kuala Lumpur. Great service, very friendly staff. Food to be improved. Overall, recommended for any Malaysian who travel to London and staying at Hyde Park.

Malaysian cuisine at Bang Bang food court

Coconut Tree

The Coconut Tree never disappoints ,I ’m hooked on their curry laksa. It’s hearty, loaded with toppings, and easily one of my favourite dishes. The portions are huge, super filling, and definitely worth the price. Comfort food at its best!

wonderful food and portion is big with the price. Can feed two person with its big portion, food is fast as well. Finding authentic curry laksa and came across this, food hall is clean as well great place with lots of varities of food

My favourite place to go in this oriental food hall. MASSIVE selection of food to choose from. I go for the vegetarian nasi goreng and it’s absolutely delicious. Portion size is huge and always end up taking it home if I’m on my own eating it. Also get the vegetarian Singapore noodles, salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper fries from here and they are great dishes and never had an issue with food from here.
Fast and efficient service and plenty of other shops around.

Ordered the curry laksa which was absolutely awful no flavour other than a bit of coconut. The black bean noodles was okay. Told the the girl with the glasses I was not happy with the food and she said the old “I’ll tell the chef” I asked for a takeaway container for the noodles and she said it’s a £1 minimum charge. And said I can have 2 containers for a pound. Why on earth would I want two and instead I asked can it be not in the house on this occasion and she said no. Has no clue about customer service and I will never eat here again.

Rice wasn’t even cooked, everything was bland. I used to eat here when bang bang first opened and was disappointed everytime but yesterday I thought I’d give them a chance again and regretted it. Chef special and chicken hainanese was ordered and do not recommend. (Ignore the dumplings in the photo they’re from Momos and were quite tasty)

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Malay Fellas

It tasted like everything had the same sambal taste on 3 of the 4 dishes we got, the sambal had a more of a sweet taste than  anything else. I enjoyed the fried chicken, it was well seasoned and hot, the rest of the food was cold by the time it got to the table which was weird, since it didn’t take long for the food to come out. My wife liked the fried squid, they were soft and crispy. Don’t bother with the prawns, they were not worth £12. All the dishes needed some salt. The mee gorang had lots of meats in it and a good burnt flavor. The plates were really pottery but a little hard to eat on.

Went for lunch on a Sunday and there were few tables available for two. The staff is friendly and served us pretty quickly. The food was great. We got rotis, prawn nasi lemak and Char Kuey Teow with chicken. The dishes had the perfect amount of spices.
Would definitely come back. Malaysian food is delicious and we need more restaurants in the area.

Good first time at the restaurant. Our server Aisyah was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the ikan bakar and ayam percik both were excellent dishes, reminded me of my time in Malaysia. We were recommended the milo tiramisu and tulang sumsum bakar but was sold out! Will come again to try the rest the menu.

We had the delicious roasted bone marrow in an angry looking curry sauce topped with moreish aromatic crispy onions.
The curry sauce was really nice and it is not spicy as it looks!
No wonder it is a signature starred dish on the menu.

New place, excellent street food in a restaurant setting. Good value. I had the calamari for starter and laksa both impressive. The area has become a hotspot for Mslaysian food, this is a welcome addition.

Everything on our menu is halal and there is no cross-contamination with non-Halal items.

Traditional, no-frills restaurant for spicy halal Malaysian dishes cooked in a wok, Chinese-style

One of the only halal restaurants in China Town, so obviously we had to visit Rasa Sayang! The food was literally SO filling 👍🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Rasa Sayang Soho on Instagram

With the school holidays in full swing, these are couple of the best places to eat in London that the kids will definitely enjoy.

The first of it's kind in London, the French Toast cafe @crome.london does some gorgeous sweet and savoury French Toast dishes. Plus you can also make your own Mocktails. What's not to love?!?

My favourite Halal Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant in China Town is @rasasayang_london. Everytime I visit, there's always a dish or two that blows my mind. Beef Rendang and the Chilli Prawns were gorgeous. Plus they have a limited time only "Singapore Food Festival Set Menu" for £29.95, with some of their best dishes.

Head down and enjoy the sun and the good food London has to offer.

@halal_chronicles's review of Rasa Sayang Soho on Instagram

Rasa Sayang Restaurant

Stumbled into this restaurant on a busy sat night,  didnt have much expectations as the place was filled. But to my surprise, i was really impressed! Silad, the manager, was friendly and welcoming. The server, Tammy, too was a pleasure to be served by. The food came out within 10 minutes of us ordering and everything was exquisite! Especially the Laksa and Ribeye Hor Fun. The food brought us back home, absolutely comforting. 10/10 for everything and everyone. Would definitely recommend for anyone craving a slice of home!

Went here during lunch with family after sight seeing in China town. The staff here direct us to the Lower ground floor which is still empty. We ordered nasi lemak, nasi goreng,laksa Singapore and Kuay teow goreng. All food are good and with large portions. We have to 'tapau' because cannot finish. The staff is helpful and the place is clean.

Huge portions at reasonable prices by central London standards. We liked the Straits Chicken Curry and the Salted Egg Prawns. The food came out pretty promptly as well. They are very popular, so booking ahead is def recommended.

Best Malaysian food in town
From the queue outside the restaurant at dinner time, you know it has to be good. True to that, we were not disappointed and came back again and again to try different dishes.

Though we waited 8-9min for a table at dinner time, the turnover was very quick. We were in and out in about 30min. No queue at lunch. All staff were friendly and attentive. Frequently checked in if all is well. When we were queuing, staff also came out frequently to ensure managing expectation and update on estimated wait time. He told us roughly 20min but we got a table (by window) within 10.

Satay, nasi lemak, Singapore chili prawn with deep fried buns, beef rendang, coconut rice, roti, teh tarik. Every dish was authentic and delicious as it should!!

We popped into Rasa Sayang after a theatre show just on the off chance as it was close. I'm glad we did.

Initially frustrated that there was a queue (but to be expected on a Saturday in that area) it was good to see this was being managed by staff popping out with regular reassuring communication about the wait time (Which actually moved quicker than expected).

With a vibrant atmosphere, the waiting staff were courteous and attentive, but what really stood out was their immediate understanding of our limited knowledge of Malaysian food and helpfully advised us with our choices and most importantly the level of spice in each dish. Service was excellent throughout, given how busy it was.

The food may not look fancy in its presentation, but the fresh flavoursome taste and quantity made this experience great value for money. We took a doggie bag home and it tasted just as good when microwaved the next day (A sure sign of freshness)

Thank you Rasa Sayang.

All our meats are halal. Our meat supplier is halal certified and we are a pork free restaurant.

C & R Cafe Restaurant

Recommended by my friends and had a chance to visit finally.

Hainanese chicken rice - we were quite disappointed about that, it usually comes with some special sauce,  even the rice can’t make it taste right. 2/5
Laska - Portion is great, soup favours is okay, however, I was expected that not only rice noodle inside, it should be a combination of two noodles. 3/5
Fried hofan - absolutely delicious, must order 5/5

Authentic Malaysian restaurant.  The food is exquisite.  Nice soup for cold days and warm spicy Malaysian dishes to perk you and your taste buds up.  Highly recommended.  Also a place I frequently visit whilst I am in London.

All our meats (chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp) are sourced from a Halal supplier. However we do serve pork in the same kitchen so we are not certified. Chicken curry, beef rendang are all cooked separately. For stir fries, our wok is cleaned after cooking each dish.
