Decided to stop for a teh tarik but was disappointed. The laksa tasted good. Cucur (fritters) not too bad. No crowd at lunch time though on a week day.

For those who are looking for Malaysian food after eating too much fish and chip, this is the place you should go. Terubat ghindu.

Nice taste i had ever seen. ................................thank you team. Need more improvement services. Best of luck from india .

We searched for a halal Malay restaurant and we found it. We will definitely come back again while being in London. Good food and friendly service.

We went to this quaint, little cafe at about 9.30am and had the satay with rice (~£6), nasi lemak (~£6), roti canai (~£4) and teh tarik.

abundant dishes, vegetarian food, good quality and good price, offer free water. It's good to eat fast and cheap, about 7 pounds.

I think that they mean well, but the food is prepared with heavy-handedness. The char kuey teow I had was very salty. The satay was deep fried rather than barbe...

The best dinner you can have in London for only £11. The Malaysian cuisine is excellent, especially the Chicken Laksa which is superb.
