Halal Reviews for Roti King King's Cross

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!

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.

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. 🌆💙

I thought there'd be a huge queue like before, but when we got to the door, quite a few people told us we were lucky—no queue today! The staff were pretty friendly, though the place was really noisy. The milk tea and laksa are absolutely delicious—I’ve been here loads of times!

Like many people, I’d heard great things about this unassuming place and had often walked past many people queueing expectantly outside. We decided to try it out this weekend and it was definitely worth the wait. We queued for about 20 minutes. The food was very affordable (especially for central London) and delicious. The Beef Rendang is a must try, and we ended the meal by sharing a jam roti with coconut ice cream. The staff were friendly and we never felt rushed despite a growing queue of excited people outside. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.
