Roti King - (Near Camden, South East)

5 /5 AR Saif (Dr Saif): I highly recommend Roti King if you’re new to Malaysian food or simply love bold, comforting flavours. We visited as a group of two and had a fantastic meal overall. We ordered the roti with mutton, which was the clear highlight. The roti was beautifully flaky and soft, perfect for dipping, and the mutton curry was rich, deeply spiced, and very filling without being overwhelming. Everything tasted freshly made and full of flavour. To drink, we had teh tarik (hot), which was smooth, comforting, and nicely balanced—not overly sweet and a great complement to the meal. Service was friendly and efficient, even though the restaurant was busy. One thing to note is that seating is quite limited and tightly packed, so the space can feel a bit claustrophobic. You also can’t book in advance, so expect to queue. That said, our wait was around 15–20 minutes, which felt very reasonable. If you’re sensitive to spice, this may not be the best choice, but if you enjoy flavourful food with a bit of heat, it’s absolutely worth it. Overall, Roti King delivers delicious food, great value, and a genuinely satisfying experience. We’d happily go back again.

4 /5 Juan Ángel Hernández: Roti King has great authentic Malaysian cuisine at good prices. Make sure to order the fish and mutton rotis. Both have lots of flavour and they are a must try. The beef rendang is good but it feels a bit average when you compared to the rotis (that’s how good they are). The fried chicken did not have anything outstanding at all other than the spicy sauce that you can dip it in, so I would suggest you skip those and order noodles or something else instead. Very friendly service. The only thing I don’t like about this place is the venue itself. The restaurant is very small and it feels suffocating at times. My ears popped every time someone came in and out the place. The tables are right next to each other and you barely have any space for you or your belongings if you are bringing any. Expect to queue outside for a bit as well to get a table.

5 /5 Adrian Kong: Just had lunch on a tight schedule before catching my train at Euston. The food came out within 15 minutes - I had the Char Kueh Teow and it was the best I’ve had so far in the UK, full of wok hei and the prawn and chicken were beautifully succulent. The fried chicken was good too, especially when eaten together with the sambal. Bijay was an excellent host - he knew that I was in a rush and made sure my order was taken promptly, all while maintaining a friendly smile at all times. His colleague (the young female waitress) was also very friendly, though I did not catch her name. As a Malaysian this place defo has my full recommendation to other Malaysians. It’s a small basement venue - if you come alone be prepared to share a table with others.

5 /5 Akshay Bhagat: Absolutely love roti king. Some of the best malay fare in London. The pratha was nice and flaky. The chicken kari with the roti canai was a solid curry, spicy and flavorful. The nasi goreng was the perfect combination of sweet savory shrimpy with plenty of wokhei. The teh tarik was sweet but yummy. Will definitely go back next time I am on London.

5 /5 Hedwig Wendell-Crumb: Excellent as always. Be prepared to queue, dont worry, it is worth the wait. Food is delicious and prepared with love. Takeaway option is available. I had beef rendang with two roti. Meat was tender and sauce was delicious. Venue is cramped so dont bring excess items. No space to put coat and bags as the seats are stools. You may have to share table with strangers if there is only one or two of you, as some tables are for four. I didnt feel rushed, but the fact that there is a queue outside makes you feel a bit like you have to hurry to finish and leave. I highly recommend this restaurant.
