Second visit here. The first was a few months ago and was blown away by the quality of the food that I had to come back to verify this wasn't a one off. Authentic cooking utilizing authentic spices makes you want to eat more than what you can accommodate! I went for the Mee Goreng with Garlic Chicken ( both comes separate). The noodles were succulent with a sweet tangy sauce which I could have not have enough off! The Garlic Chicken was deep fried giving a crispy outside but was moist on the inside with infused garlic. Where most deep fried chicken usually tasted like a lump of oil soaked meat, this was not the case. The restaurant was 95% full for most of the time I was there with most of the clientele being of Malay/Asian origins. Perhaps giving testament of a home cooked meal! My partner went for the Oxtail soup which although is listed as a starter you can get it as a main meal size portion. The feedback I had was that it was very tasty with a little spice to give it that 'zing' Service was polite and professional with the food delivered in an acceptable time. Not cheap here but not expensive. If you are driving, then parking will be a challenge during the week. More spaces on weekend after 1:30pm when the restrictions are relaxed. This will be my regular haunt going forward and would definitely recommend. read more

Great Service with excellent food. Definitely recommend to people who are willing to try some authentic Malaysian dishes! read more

I went there Saturday night with 6 friends for the first time. I booked our table (the restaurant is pretty small). The food was fantastic and traditional, it was a real success and I will definitely come back to try other dishes read more

Food is just ok. When we were there, there's only one table taken, but we still gave it a try. People start coming in bc they see us eating inside. And then waitress started rushing us to leave. Whoa. I won't say there's good service and they charged 10% tips. Tips for rushing their customer to leave? I barely leave comment but it really "amazed" me. read more

I visited London last month and our hotel was very close to the Tukdin restaurant. I had never tried Malaysian food before so it was a first for me. While I cannot remember what I ordered, I can say that it was a lovely meal. Wonderful flavors, spicy and it more than exceeded any expectations I had. A small restaurant but intimate; my twin sister and I were seated in the back. Everyone was very welcoming, the service was extremely prompt and the food arrived quickly. I ended the meal with a wonderful malty tea and according to my twin, she had the best cup of coffee she had ever had in her life. She asked the server to write down the name of the coffee she loved it so. A wonderful meal and a wonderful evening. read more

A quaint Malaysian restaurant near my hotel in London. The food and service were amazing. I ordered the nasi goreng and fish curry, which were both tasty. While it wasn't super authentic likely because the ingredients are different, the flavors were reminiscent of Malaysia. read more

Tukdin - Malaysian Near Me - London, XGL

after 3 years of living in the area, i'm kicing myself for not getting in there sooner... it was excellent.. but please note below: 1) satay chicken - OUTSTANDING - very good portion and the satay sauce is divine... even for finger dipping on its own.. yum!!! 2) grilled aubergine in the chilli paste - OUTSTANDING - two large slices of aubergine smothered in sauce. health conscious peeps out there beware.. it is pretty oily.. but all oh-so-good 3) beef slices in soya - DELISH - smothered in thick sweet soya sauce, a very rich dish that goes very well with rice 4) Garlic fried chicken - VERY good - ordered this based on the reviews.... i don't think i will get it again bc i thought it coming without a sauce was a bit dry for my taste, and overall a dish that packs calories. It is however very nicely crisp and juicy inside, so if this floats your boat... GO for it. 5) banana fritters - CRISP - ordered this based on the reviews... the ice cream was delcious, and the batter was VERY crisp, but what did not do it for me was the mushiness and the blandness of the banana... it tasted floury... which is a pity... as i don't think this one will be a repeat (for me). 6) grass jelly juice - YUM - i am sure it doesn't float everyone's boat, but i LOVE this, sweet and gelatinous was quite refreshing. "i" am a fan 7) sprite... umm.... yep... standard all this for £45 (with tip). DEFO a repeat. super nice service. read more

James found this place close to our hotel and as he loves Indinesian food, wanted to try Malaysian. Looking up Tukdin, I saw Yee Gan O. gave it a great review and he is a foodie guru. We had the curry pasties and satay starters followed by Mee Goring Mamak & Beef Rendang with coconut rice. The food was complex, delicious and plentiful. As we couldn't manage dessert, we tried the herbal coffee & The weird an wonderful grass jelly. A great meal and c.£40 including 2 rounds of soft drinks. read more

First time for Malaysian food so I'm not sure about the authenticity. The service was wonderful and our server very helpful with menu recommendations. The food was delicious! read more

how can you beat authentic cheap eats? the restaurant was packed with southeast asians and locals. (didn't see too many folks who looked like tourists with backpacks/suitcases.) noodle soup was delicious and perfectly warming for this chilly weather. yes, lots of tourists but hey, you're near paddington. read more

A great find for Malaysian food junkies. Went with my Malaysian fiance and 2 friends who spent the past 3 years in Singapore. We were thrilled to find good, authentic food. The staff, chefs, and 1/2 the patrons seemed to be Malaysian... which was encouraging from the get go. The food was awesome. The sea bass was crispy and flavorable. The randang was quickly devoured. The aubergine was delicious. While we didn't have alcohol, the entire bill came to less than GBP80. This fed us until we were stuffed and left us with leftovers. Nice to have a new casual, yummy, and affordable dining option in London. read more

This place is a short walk from Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Very good food, nice clean little place. Coconut rice was great and spicy mango sea bass was unique and very tasty. No liquor license it seems so don't expect to drink a lot ; but great food and pretty good service. read more

Amazing Malaysian food. Taste like home and at a reasonable price in London. Highly recommended,!

Get the black glutinous rice desert. Sounds disgusting, tastes incredible. Their Malay dishes are quite good, especially curries and soups.

Quick service, great food, attentive service. I'll defiantly be back. Very authentic flavours - defiantly try the coconut rice!

The food is ok. Do not order the Kari puff as the crust is so dry. The service is really slow and not organized with the order system. I am giving them a 2 just because they are Malaysian restaurant and all the Malaysian ones are about the same in London. The people were complaining about being too busy. If that is the case go to 6 tables and do it well. Not Sedap! read more

To list my credentials: Born in Malaysia, lived in Indonesia and Singapore for years. That said, food here is solid, very authentic. I had the nasi lemak, always a favorite for me. A very decent place to go when I start getting homesick. Now, if only I lived anywhere near here... read more

Good service and plenty choices in the menu. Authentic Malaysian tea is definitely recommended to everyone. The only complaint is that the fish I order smells a little bit near the part of its head. Maybe the fish is not that fresh. All else are perfect and would definitely come back again if I was London. read more

We knew it was going to be good when we walked in and everyone in the restaurant appeared to be Malaysian. The chicken satay was fabulous! We were not familiar with Malaysian food so we asked the waiter for recommendations and he was very helpful. Definitely give this place a try! read more

The Satay is to die for!! The fried noodle was excellent as well. I finished the meal with the Malaysian tea, it is on the sweet side. Treated it as my dessert, so it's not bad. read more

Tuk Din serves authentic Malay food. The satay goreng is scrumptious, something different from the satay that you get on the sticks. The nasi lemak is delicious as with the other dishes. Will definitely return. read more

Nasi Lemak was excellent. Just like in Malaysia and cheap for London. I will be back.

Great service and great food ! Loved their sambal udang (it was perfect for a chilly night) and chicken curry was nice too. read more

Simply the best Malaysian around. The fish vine leave chili dish is amazing (sorry I don't know the name). And the noodle soups are exception quality and value for money read more

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I stayed in the Park grand down the road and went by. The service was very friendly and quick. Regarding the food I tried Pajree Terong with is kind of a vegetarian sweet and a bit hot curry with rice. It tasted fantastic. Considering the price of 4,50 Pounds for a regular dish and 2 Pounds for the rice this was a fantastic dish. I will definitely return to this restaurant. read more

The most delicious food!! Everything was cooked to perfection and full of different flavours. Staff friendly. Recommendation, 100%. Go. You won't regret it! read more

This was tasty food served with politeness and attention. It was also inexpensive. We were staying a few blocks away at the Corus Hyde Park hotel and it was a pleasant respite from all the pub food we've eating. read more

pretty good Malaysian food, nice service, not super quick, but we were not in a hurry anyway :-)

Fantastic original authentic food, service was great and the different tastes simply blended together. I would definitely return to enjoy another delicious meal. read more

This is our 2nd visit here. I thought of giving a higher score for our first visit because the staff that evening was so friendly even though the food was just okay, but this time it was just terrible! We are not coming back here possibly ever again. We are a big family of 6. So we decided to call to book a table for lunch that day. We got our table right in the centre of the restaurant (if anyones been here they would know that its quite a tight space once you pull the chairs on both sides), so mom being accommodating for everyone in that restaurant, thought that maybe if we move to an unreserved side table we should be out of everyones way, so they can deliver food without bumping on every customers shoulders and heads. So they moved and the staff at the counter quickly turned her head and said we cant move the tables together even though the tables are literally 3-4 inches apart, and mom said thats fine we just sit at separate tables but what makes me mad is, one she is very rude with her tone of voice and the way she said it, and secondly she showed us her 'annoyed face' the entire time we were there! I mean come'on its not like we are asking for free food! So that was it, we will not EVER come back here. As much as I miss Malaysian food here living in London and love love love to support my own people, but if you cannot respect your customers when we're actually paying you, then imagine the level of the respect you have for someone on the street. I'm sorry Tukdin but you have lost about 10 customers on this one (ya we normally dine in big groups) read more
