Melur Paddington

My mom saw this restaurant while taking the public bus & wanted to try it & it did not disappoint! I ordered the Char Kuey Teow “Fav”, & the flavour was rich & authentic. They also have an all-you-can-eat buffet, which looks really worth trying next time. The owner Pak Awie, is such a friendly & welcoming old man. Greeted us, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Recommend this place if you’re craving real Malaysian & Indonesian flavours! 🇲🇾🍽️

Hidden gem tucked away on Edgware Road. Lots of Malaysian people about which says it all! Food: I recommend the Nasi Goreng Kampung (more authentic than their USA Nasi Goreng) - I licked the plate clean. It comes with crunchy salty anchovies (you can see on bottom left of photo) and an egg on top. If you fancy noodles I recommend their Kuey Teow Goreng. Lychee juice was some of the best I had! These were the stars of the show. Desserts were alright but nothing special (banana desserts: Pisang Goreng & Pengat Pisang). Atmosphere: restaurant is downstairs so no natural light, not particularly modern but feels authentic and atmosphere is created by the happy chatty air of other customers. Not too busy, not too empty. Service: was fast when more empty but as soon as there were 3/4 more tables it was noticeably slower. Friendly servers with recommendations and knowledgeable of allergens. Price: well priced. not a bargain but not expensive. £14.20 for our mains, with mains going up to £16. Veggie/vegan friendly (coconut milk more prevalent in cuisine rather than milk). Halal. Servers helpful with allergens.

Very harsh lighting; like having dinner in a morgue. Staff all delightful and food tasty! If they focused a bit on decor and lighting I’d go there regularly.
