Halal Reviews for 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.

Had a lovely work lunch today and an amazing Curry Laksa. It really reminded me of the ones I’ve had when I visited Malaysia many years ago. The staff were amazing and super helpful as they recommended things to my friends who haven’t had Malaysian food before. Really hope to go back again.

We came here for Saturday lunch and the highlight is definitely their nasi kandar which comes with either 1, 2 or 3 side dishes (fried chicken, chilli lamb, sambal sotong, beef and fish curry). We also tried the keropok lekor, nasi goreng USA (don't ask me why it's called that!), kangkung belacan and fish assam pedas (fish in a spicy tamarind-y curry). Everything was polished off so safe to say, we enjoyed everything and will probably be back again! Potentially for a buffet which they do every once in a while! In terms of service, it was probably just average mainly because it looked like there was only one waiter despite having quite a few tables so it was all a bit slow. That said, he tried his best! Food service wasn't the speediest either but luckily worth the wait!
