Incredible. I love Roti King, and I think I loved this even more. We came with a group of four and…read moreordered way too much: vegan laksa, vegan assam pedas, prawn laksa, nasi lemak with beef rendang, mee goreng with chicken, nasi goreng with prawns, roti with dhall, and roti with beef rendang. Everything was delicious, with the assam pedas being a surprising standout -- it was essentially a veggie stew in an incredible tomato-y broth. The beef rendang was also incredible, and the roti, of course, is an absolute must. (I think I prefer Roti King's version, but this one is more fried and might win in a blind taste test -- it's just a lot messier.) Of the laksas, we surprising liked the vegan version more -- it came with their amazing crispy mushrooms and rice noodles rather than egg noodles. The moo goreng was the egg noodle dish that we actually liked the most -- that sauce was so perfect. My wife also loved the nasi goreng. Just an amazing meal and I can't wait to come back here next time we're in London.

Honestly, I was sadly disappointed by my recently meal at Lagenda…read more I ordered takeout via Uber eats and while the food came quickly, nothing about it was particularly enjoyable. First off, I ordered an avocado sushi roll and clearly requested the addition of cucumber. When I got the roll, it had no avocado and only one slice of cucumber in the entire thing. It also tasted strangely like fish (even though it's a veggie roll). I also ordered vegetable gyoza. I requested that they be steamed instead of fried but came fried and very very greasy with a bitter chili sauce. Bummer.

Lagenda delivers tasty Malaysian food, and it was just steps from our hotel…read more Let's start with the food...I enjoyed everything I ate. I started with a clear chicken and mushroom soup. The broth was better than a similar standard Chinese soup...it was kicked up with a healthy amount of black pepper. For my main, I had a salad of hard boiled egg, tofu, carrot, and cabbage in a chunky peanut sauce. It was not as sweet as Thai peanut sauce, and I appreciated it. Finally, I sampled some roti canai. Perfectly toasted roti bread with a savory and spicy chicken curry for dipping. The service was five star. The manager waited on us, and he was extremely friendly and attentive. He answered menu questions in detail and did not charge us for extra roti. So why no 5th star? My partner's laksa curry was too pungent and fishy tasting, and the prices are on the high side. All the above mentioned food, with some nonalcoholic drinks, cost 55 pounds w. tip, or $79 at the current exchange rate. Give it a try! I Would go back but order less.

This is the place if you want absolutely legit Malay food in London. The eating establishment (I'm…read morenot calling it a restaurant) is located about 8 minutes walk from Bayswater station. It seats about 30 persons and is furnished in a no-frills way similar to coffeeshops or hawker centers in Malaysia and Singapore. But rest assured - the place is clean, so is the food and the food handling looked appropriate. It is located in the basement of some economic accommodation hosted by the Malaysian embassy so they do specify that this is for Malaysians and their guests though they don't really check IDs. But the menu is in Malay and you do have to understand what food you are picking out as there is no printed menu or pictures so this 'advisory' makes sense. I had the nasi campur while I was there - 1 fried chicken drumsticks, a piece of egg omelette, acar, white rice and teh tarik. You had about 16 dishes to choose from. Everything looked and tasted exactly as I remember it in Singapore and Malaysia, right down to the yellow stains on the fingers from the fried chicken. It was wonderful. They also have items like nasi goreng (fried rice), Mee goreng (fried noodles), roti canai, nasi lemak rendang as well as Malaysian desserts. The prices are incredibly reasonable (my meal cost me 6.5pounds) so it must be one of the cheapest eats in London. In summary, absolutely worth a visit for Singaporeans or Malaysians craving Malay food and, for non-Malaysians looking for authentic Malay food, go find a Malaysian/Singaporean friend and go!

Also, since everything is prepared fresh when you order, it takes a LONG time to get your food. We ordered the curry laksa, which was phenomenal. The gado gado was not what I expected.

Dutifully, I stood by the sign and waited. A middle-aged, English looking and speaking man in a white shirt (which I later found out from a member of the waiting staff was the manager) shouted across to me (he was leaning on a chair at the time by one of the outside tables); he had evidently assumed I was not hearing impaired and was English speaking. However, with the noise of the rush hour traffic (it was approximately 5.15pm), I miss heard him and thought he said to wait (apparently he had said "go ahead in", or something similar. He then spoke again, this time louder, with no attempt to come closer, and with an expression that came across as one of annoyance, saying "do you want to sit inside or outside" , to which I replied "inside". He then led me to a table saying "you can sit here", and left me. Shortly after, a young asian member of staff in a black shirt took my order; thankfully, he was very pleasant and attentive. While eating, the manager in the white shirt reappeared and gathered the waiters and waitresses together and spoke to them at considerable length and loud enough that it was impossible for me to ignore. Fortunately, I was eating alone and not trying to have a conversation with a dinner date. Sadly, although the rendang is good, it is not good enough to make me want to go back to this restaurant again. I do not appreciate being shouted at from across a restaurant so that I have to strain my ears to hear and raise my voice in response so as to be heard. Perhaps the sign "please wait to be seated" should be changed to "please wait to be shouted at".
