    The Char Kway Teow is to die for! The satay chicken is pretty good too! Banana fritters are not to be missed!

    Not quite the strong flavours I hoped for though the fish curry had the right sour oomph & sambal eggplant was pretty good. Still if you need your Malaysian food fix Makan is a decent choice.

    Amazing teh tarik! Chicken sambal was really tender but might be too spicy fr some people

    Really Authentic Malaysian fare. The fried bee hoon was a standout. Unfortunately Teh Tarik was not milky enough. But overall standout food!

    Amazing Malaysian food. Try the nasi campur or 'mixed rice'. Ask for roti canai and teh tarik too.

    It's all about the murtabak if you have never tried this Malaysian specialty you haven't lived!

    A good place for authentic Malay food in London. Halal assurance is by the Muslim owners. Try their Laksa or Rendang

    I had the green curry, allspice chicken and broccoli with mange tout on pain rice. The curry tasted of water down coriander. The chicken lacked allspice. Doesn't help that all food is microwaved.
