Ah, this place is one of my all-time favorites! It's been many years since I last dined here, and it's still as amazing as ever.

If you're looking to experience the vibe and taste of street food from Malaysia or Singapore without leaving town, this is the spot for you.

There might be queues to get in, but it's definitely worth the wait.

My only critique would be to bring back the vegetarian Curry Laksa, which you used to offer long ago. Nevertheless, the food remains mouth-watering!

This is a well known Malaysian restaurant, 10mins walk from St Pancras so I was excited to try it. But it was not that great finally. Not even as good as some other places I tried in Leicester Square. The roti canai was nice but the nasi goreng was flavourless with a soupçon of sweetness. The fried chicken had good flavour but was some odd cut that was mostly bone and batter.

TRULY EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Our Londoner friend recommended this restaurant, and it definitely did not disappoint.

We went there for lunch, and after waiting for about 20 minutes we were seated.

Everything we tried was outstanding- I think I’ll be dreaming of their roti and the beef rednag until the next I visit London.

A must try!!!

We came around 1pm on a Friday and we were the only people in line. We got seated after 3 minutes of waiting in line.

We ordered the dhal roti canai (8,95), nasi lemak (10,95), char kuey teow (11,50), hari laksa (11,50), kangkung balacan (9,95) and teh Tarik (3,95). The roti canai was not flaky at all. Sauce was not addictive. Would not recommend. The nasi lemak was not bad. The fried chicken was a bit drive. Loved the peanuts and dried fish. The kangkung balacan or morning glory was way too salty. It was also a bit too chewy. The char kuey teow was delicious. It had wokhei. Not overly salty. I would recommend this dish. The hari laksa was okay. Not enough coconut flavour or seafood flavour. There was lots of noodles portion si r was not bad. But it wasn't addictive and I would not recommend it. The teh Tarik cold was not too sweet but helped calm down the saltiness from the dishes.

Overall I thought the food was okay. A lot of the dishes were way too salty. The char kuey teow was the best dish. Would definitely recommend that dish. Everything else was meh

I love Malaysian food so I’ve been always looking for Malaysian restaurants at any destinations I travel to. I discovered Roti King on Google Reviews. The restaurant was a short walk from Euston station. We arrived 30 minutes before the restaurant opened at 12, but there were already several people in the queue. As soon as we entered the queue, more people came in even though it was raining. They had a designated area for queuing. The restaurant was quite small but clean. It’s definitely not for a big group. We could also see the chef making roti canai in front of us. We ordered a several dishes and drink to dine in and couple of dishes to go. Mutton Roti Canai was recommended, but we decided to go with Fish Roti Canai. For those who never have roti before- it’s a flaky flatbread similar like paratha. The roti was so fresh and fluffy. Fish curry was delicious!!!! It was so good that we had to get it again for dinner. This time, we ordered through UberEats. We got both mutton and fish roti canai. We decided fish roti canai was the winner - must try item here.
We also ordered the Kari Laska and their number 1 famous Char Kuey Teow to share between 2 of us, but I didn’t like it as much as I expected - mainly the seafood was overcooked in both dishes. For drink, we got one hot and one cold Teh Tarik, they were so so good - another must try item! For desert I got the planta sweet roti ( with condense milk) and it was delicious. We ordered to go Nasi Goreng (fried rice ) and Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with fried chicken, egg and fried anchovies) that I forgot to take photos. In my opinion,Nasi Lemak was better.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the food here and I was glad I got to try almost every items on the menu. Service was great and food came out pretty quickly. Highly recommend anyone who’re visiting London. You will not be disappointed at all.
