DaniOctober 21, 2015A pretty decent beef rendang. My Singaporean friend took me as it's her go to for comfort food. Very reasonably priced, they also have teh tarik, samba, and good laksa. I'd definitely come backUpvote5DownvoteUpvoted Jan 30
Upstairs and downstairs seating. Gets busy. Go the roti canai and tangy Assam fish curry = yum in your tum. Beware - the soya milk is freshly made so has a strong bean taste which some may not like.Upvote3Downvote
MarinaJuly 9, 2013This place was packed. The portions are very generous. I had the chili crab and it was MASSIVE! Very tasty and really messy. Don't order it if you're having a business meeting or are on a date ;)Upvote4Downvote
Nasi lemak, mee goreng, deep fried chicken wings, chicken satay, beef rendang, egg prawns. It's all good. However the prices are too expensive. There is no single main dish under £10.UpvoteDownvote
Shay MSeptember 24, 2014If you're a fan of morning glory (behave!) be prepared to pay the price! My friends adored the roti here and the chicken dishes are big and filling. Food comes out as its ready.UpvoteDownvote
If you're craving noodles, do not order the Satay Bee Hoon ("special of the week"). It's just a plate of vermicelli noodles swimming in sweet satay sauce with hardly any seafood in it.Upvote1Downvote
Michael RebelloAugust 25, 2019Solid authentic Malaysian food. Decently spicy curry, though the sambal wasn’t as much. Wanted to try the cendol but they were sold out!

Authentic Malaysian food . Service is so so but at least you get some good value. Nasi Lemak and Penang Prawn are delighted, by London's standard.Upvote7Downvote
JiaYin TeoFebruary 14, 2016The cendol has tooooo much gula Melaka it overpowers everything else :( but the sago gula Melaka is great because of the balance of tasteless sago and sweet gula ^^UpvoteDownvote
Fu ShengSeptember 25, 2013Good Rendang Rice and Nasi Lemak. Good service. Don't expect too much. It's just nice, worth to come if you miss Malaysian food. Quite authentic :)UpvoteDownvote

Don't need to book whenever I go, there is always a table. Great food and huge servings!UpvoteDownvote- teh tarik, roti, and nasi lemak not as cheap as hawker markets in Singapore but pretty good food for LondonUpvoteDownvote

Adenosine TriphosphateJuly 21, 2015Oh chien( fried oyster with egg) is really good. Other things not as good as C&R.UpvoteDownvote
Try the Malaysian Fish Curry - With beef ran dang in the background. Our new favorite place.UpvoteDownvote
Authentic tasting char kway teow and roti. Good lunchtime fix of Malaysian. Staff aren't rude, just nonchalant. I'll be back to try other dishes.

Nat TeeJanuary 29, 2012Had the pandan pancake for desert. It was small and I was unimpressed by the flavour. I've uploaded a photo of it. It looks different to the pic in the menu.UpvoteDownvote
Metro.co.ukSeptember 10, 2010As this kitchen produces utterly delicious and great value Malaysian cuisine, it is also capable of serving up some shamefully ersatz rubbish. Metro gave it 2 out of 5 Stars. Read moreUpvote1Downvote

Charmain LeeJanuary 1, 2011Great for sambal Nonya food/curries, and some others like Cha Kway Teow, but Mee Pok is abysmal, and Chicken Rice nothing like it should be.UpvoteDownvote

Y YDecember 16, 2016Their food is in no way Malaysian. Terrible crap we won't put into our mouth! Who on earth soaks the chicken in a plate filled with soy sauce! Disgusting food.
