An unpretentious, slightly tumbledown Soho treasure serving hearty, authentic Malaysian comfort food in a space that feels like a refuge from the busy streets.
Ordering Strategy
Start with Roti Canai to share, then order individual noodle soups or rice dishes as mains due to the generous portion sizes.
What to order
Laksa
The namesake dish features a coconut-based gravy 'humming with spices and fish sauce' filled with juicy prawns, bubbly chunks of tofu, and vermicelli.
Beef Rendang
Described as 'beautiful' and 'spot-on for flavour,' this rich dish carries a 'powerful aroma of star anise' and is ideal for those seeking a hearty, slow-cooked meal.
Roti Canai
A highly recommended starter consisting of 'soft and crisp-edged' roti served with a flavorful curry sauce for dipping.
