As someone who grew up in Malaysia, I can attest that the roti canai (with dhall) here is very authentic. Venue is cramped and chaotic but it's all part of the experience. Very good value.
Raquel de MenesesFebruary 16, 2017THE LAKSA is out of this world. Life-changing. I have one here and ask another to take home with me, it's just that good. Oh. And the roti canai with lamb is mandatory. The place is called ROTI king.
Avneesh KohliSeptember 11, 2018This is a great hole-in-the-wall place to get authentic Malaysian food! The roti canai special is perfect. You might have to wait in a queue so get there early!
Daren WilliamsMarch 17, 2020Malaysian atmosphere - tables, service, crowd and food! Roti was excellent - I preferred the dhall, wife preferred lamb; spoil yourself with cheese or kaya. Rendang was tasty. Big queue, £10 corkage
Rylin KoeyApril 4, 2017Pretty authentic Malaysian food at reasonable price. Go for Roti Planta, Curry Laksa & Mee Goreng! Nasi Lemak is so-so. Queue can be long during peak hours, especially on a Friday.
Isha HartonoJanuary 2, 2017Great tasting roti chanai. Small venue and very popular. Get there before 6pm unless you like waiting in the cold
Saif HussainJuly 21, 2018It took an hour to get a table but once seated, we found the service to be fast and with great customer service, especially considering how busy they were. Most importantly, the food was delicious.
Amy YOctober 17, 2017The roti canai here truly lives up to the restaurant's name. Mee goreng, teh tarik, kari laksa, and roti pisang dessert are not to be missed. Great value for money also, but be prepared to queue
Pauling HeeOctober 14, 2016Had the roti canai, curry noodles & teh tarik - everything was so authentic! As a Malaysian, I can assure this place serves the best Malaysian food - it felt as though I was transported back home 😋- You’ll aaaallllways find a long queue when you come here but trust me, the food is definitely worth it. Try the Kari laksa and Nasi Lemak 👌🏻
Alvaro RodriguezJune 27, 2014The place can be a bit dodgy but the friendly staff and the incredible food totally deserves it. Ask for the Roti King menu if you don't get it at first. Roti + Chicken Curry and Laksa are the best!
Roti's are amazing. Despite the price the roti canai and the special are plenty of food and the curry's that come with them are gorgeous.
Namit ChadhaDecember 19, 2016Indo-malay done right. Delicious soft fluffy rotis served with small pots of curry. Don't miss the Roti Canai Special w Lamb.

Hani DhaniaMay 11, 2014The murtabak and roti canai are to die for! Made fresh and tastes really authentic with the dhal and curry. Best roti canai in London indeed!
- Zan KatMay 8, 2018The roti canai is delicious, and the desert roti too. Service was pretty good too. The place is quite small so the wait can be long.
Stephen TriminghamFebruary 3, 2017A hidden gem so close to Euston. Cash only and worth the wait at busy times (between 10-30 minutes)
Go with the roti canai or roti telur (egg) or on its own with lentil dhal or chicken curry if it's your first visit. Otherwise the wholesome laksa is pretty tasty too
DunjaJanuary 24, 2018Mostly crowded, 30+ min wait at lunch / dinner time. Everything is super tasty, really authentic, the roti canai is divine and I’d recommend Kari laksa ❤️
Yosh TalwarJanuary 4, 2016Roti Canai is the best in London. Forget the rest of the menu, just order 2 Roti Canais and refuse to share.
cuiNovember 8, 2014😍 best roti canai in London, hands down. get the kosong (plain) served with dhal! nasi lemak is nubbad. teh tarik seems to be of the powdered instant variety :( v limited seating.
RRRJune 11, 2022Roti canai are most often sold as street food, but they’re handmade and steaming hot, served with bowls of dhal, chicken Kari or mutton Kari for generous dunking.- In addition to the roti canai, the nasi lemak was pretty authentic as well. Generous portion and great value.
Juston PayneOctober 10, 2018Oh my, that mee goreng is delicious. The roti canai is clearly wonderful, too, but leave room in your order for the mee goreng.- Juston PayneOctober 10, 2018Oh my, that Mee Goreng is delicious. The roti canai is clearly wonderful, too, but make room in your order for the mee goreng.
Eddy BrosseMay 7, 2015OMG. What a find!! Recommended by friends and not deceived. Tiny little gruby place with amazing food!
- They've smartened up the interior with tiles and benches but the prices remain as low as ever and the Roti Canai is still just as delicious.
I loved the roti canai and other variants of roti, specifically the lamb filling. Nasi lemak was okay and i thought a bit overhyped. Teh tarik is quite rich with condensed milk used
Edwin TanDecember 10, 2017Real Malaysian Food, Period. Come early or non meal times to miss the queue.
Stephanie ChooMarch 8, 2016Authentic teh tarik and roti canai in an environment very similar to home.
Hani AzahariApril 24, 2017Tried sth new everytime i come here and have never been disappointed. My fav would be fried kuetiaw 👌
Shannon LowAugust 21, 2016Very good roti prata. Decent fried kway teow too. Good rendang too but a bit dry. All good value for money.
Lisa HaywardOctober 28, 2014Roti was definitely worth the trip but our order of mee goreng never arrived at the table get they tried to charge us for it and no apology offered. Very surreal little place!
KDecember 29, 2015You might have to wait to sit but it's worth it. Best to share several dishes with friends!
Ian LowNovember 29, 2016Roti king is kinda Meh. The roti is acceptable the curries are sub par with overcooked meat from really bad cuts. Only acceptable dish I would recommend is the mee goreng.
Raci MurphySeptember 15, 2017Amazing Roti canai. Always a queue but well worth the wait. Bonus - super cheap!
Go for the roti canai with dhal. Side order of one of the other rotis if you are extra hungry....
Annie YuApril 28, 2019Definitely get the roti canai!! THE ROTI IS FRESH and I seriously wanted a second serving
Jamie SmithJune 30, 2018One of my favourite little hideaways in London (albeit a very well known one now!)
Sarah MillsDecember 15, 2017So authentic! When you’re missing Malaysian food, definitely head here for that bit of fix!
Actually tossed roti and roti telur - this more authentic. Too many other stores use pre made/ frozen roti, not here.
