- Fazz RahmanJuly 6, 2017The roti canai here is truly authentic as it is in Malaysia itself. Recommended.
Huzaifa KhambaliaApril 10, 2015The Char Kway Teow is to die for! The satay chicken is pretty good too! Banana fritters are not to be missed!
Edwin TanAugust 9, 2017Really Authentic Malaysian fare. The fried bee hoon was a standout. Unfortunately Teh Tarik was not milky enough. But overall standout food!
Hani AzahariJune 3, 2016Amazing teh tarik! Chicken sambal was really tender but might be too spicy fr some people
Nat MApril 1, 2017Not quite the strong flavours I hoped for though the fish curry had the right sour oomph & sambal eggplant was pretty good. Still if you need your Malaysian food fix Makan is a decent choice.
Cheryl Anne LowJanuary 27, 2013Really good nasi lemak. And the cengkodok is better than most back home too! Two thumbs up! :)- Jamie ArcherApril 28, 2013It's all about the murtabak if you have never tried this Malaysian specialty you haven't lived!
Amazing Malaysian food. Try the nasi campur or 'mixed rice'. Ask for roti canai and teh tarik too.
Crescentrating Halal Friendly TravelJanuary 25, 2011A good place for authentic Malay food in London. Halal assurance is by the Muslim owners. Try their Laksa or Rendang

Ming YeungFebruary 13, 2013I had the green curry, allspice chicken and broccoli with mange tout on pain rice. The curry tasted of water down coriander. The chicken lacked allspice. Doesn't help that all food is microwaved.- ayesha martinAugust 31, 2010Amazing Malaysian food and teh tarik to die for (ask them to make it hot hot hot).
