Lambeth, Malaysian Restaurant Guide

“Prices closer to those of Kuala Lumpur than of London” have won fame for this “cramped Euston basement”, as attested to by the “eternal long queue in all weathers”. “Favoured by the large local student population”, “it’s well worth the wait for a cheap eat in a vibrant, no-frills, off-the-street, ‘eat-and-go’ environment”. “The signature dish is Roti Canai – chicken, mutton, or fish curry served with two of the flakiest rotis ever made this side of Malaysia”: “a tasty meal at a very good price”. Amongst the other “Malaysian staples cooked to perfection”, the spicy noodle dishes are also often excellent: “no wonder it’s always so busy”. With success has come expansion to high-performing but less famous siblings: a small café near Waterloo (“spot on, always a buzz”); near Battersea Power Station (“perfect choice for a delicious meal close to the overpriced places nearby, with a delightful small outside terrace”); and also with a new big branch which opened in early 2024 near Spitalfields. Top Menu Tip “aside from the roti, look out for Nasi Goreng, Char Kway Teow, Beef Rendang, and Teh Tarik (a drink of tea sweetened with condensed milk)”.
