We asked if we could have some sharing items first before main course dishes. We were advised to have everything at once as the kitchen was busy - but this meant we had no food at all for an hour and then all of it very quickly, in a random order. The staff were nice but not proactive, we always had to flag someone down. The food is good overall and I’m always pleased to find Malaysian in London, but the roti was a bit dry.

Really enjoyed the food and the ambience. We had three courses each and they were all excellent. The restaurant was busy, even on a Wednesday. It felt like our waiter was new. The service was a little less attentive than ideal, but very friendly and helpful. Will happily go back.
