5 /5 Francisco Meneses: Penang Satay House is a hidden gem in London, offering delicious, authentic Malaysian flavours and incredibly attentive service. We started with the House Special Satay (beef, chicken, and prawn skewers perfectly grilled and bursting with flavour) and the Cantonese Roast Duck. For mains, the Barbecued Spare Ribs in Capital Sauce were a highlight with their distinct sweet and sour flavour. The Singapore Laksa, featuring a mix of vermicelli and soft noodles in a spicy coconut broth, was another standout. The Chicken Lo Bak—wrapped in bean curd pastry—was an absolute revelation and something well be ordering again! We also tried the Beef Rendang, which was tasty but, surprisingly, our least favourite of the mains we ordered. We balanced the richness with a side of seasonal stir-fried vegetables and refreshing Tiger beer. The special decor, reminiscent of South East Asia, enhanced the whole experience. We were especially delighted by the fun detail at the end: you can ring a bell to let the staff know the food was delicious, which we did enthusiastically! Highly recommended.
