Roti King (Euston)

• Squeezed in here with 5 others for some roti from the Roti King
• This is a small restaurant and shares the premise with Euston Chinese
• Unfortunately doesn't look like the Roti King was working tonight but we still had gorgeous freshly made rotis which came with a bowl of chicken curry (you can choose from lamb
• Battling with shoes that were viciously cutting my feet up
• Occupying a fluorescent lit basement with dark brown tables and linoleum floor
• The service is brusque and hurried
• The rotis themselves are made by Suden in the open fronted kitchen
• The resulting flatbreads are flaky and buttery
• T pretend this is elegant food
• The sweet rotis for dessert are also meant to be excellent
• Roti King (Euston) is definitely not trying to be either
• When we got there there was a queue out of the door and tracking up the stairs into the street
• We were enthralled with the skill and precision of one of the chefs making the rotis
• Though be warned that the meat dishes come with bones if you are not expecting this &ndash
• All curries are priced at a bargain £
• After being told incessantly that I should try Roti King (Euston) out I was initially underwhelmed when I arrived at the tiny cramped location
• Our group was squashed into a cramped seating area and I was left wondering if I was in the right place
• Was my first day in London with the family during the Christmas eve
• I was fortunate enough to come here before they were closed for 4 days
• Authentic Malaysian food as I was used to eat in KL when I live there
• I first tried Roti King when he was based on Charing Cross Road
• The restaurant itself is quite small and slightly cramp
• When the food is good I am willing to compromise on this
• A must order dish is obviously the Roti
• Their roti is all freshly made and has a nice flaky texture
• The murtabak is quite yummy as well
• The curry laksa is also very good
• The flavours are nice and the soup is very coconut y
• The bee hoon was a bit plain
• Roti with dhaal is full of flavour
• Roti with lamb curry is tender n u will devour it in seconds
• The char kuay teow was tasty and the portion was so generous
• Even if the place is not at its full capacity
• Once you are seated it is better to stay put
• I also suspect that the ventilation is not good enough
• The lingering smoke from high heat stir frying was not appealing
• The food here is proper Malaysian
• Crispy and moist at the same time with a curry sauce to complete the dish
• These are dishes which have more in common with the economy rice stalls that you get in Malaysia
• One of the reasons that mamak stalls in Malaysia grew was because of their drinks offered
• ABC (crushed ice with various ingredients)
• We of course had a good service since we knew them and it was all quite laid back
• Parking is not easy in the area but Euston station is a short walk away
• I confirm that Roti King is the real deal here
• The lamb filling is moist with a crispy pastry
• It was pretty good except that the minced lamb was very mild and did not have a strong muttony taste
• Roti canai with dhal GBP 4.50 &ndash
• Is this what you were expecting after the reviews
• Mee goreng mamak was my favourite of the lot
• Is Malaysian tea with condensed milk
• The downside of Roti King was the service was so slow
• There were tables which ordered after us and were served food before we did
• Cheap and cheerful with some of the shabbiest furniture I have ever seen gracing a restaurant
• Authentic tasting Malaysian hawkers food with generous portions
• Gutsy and flavorful with peanut sauce and plenty of plump prawns
• Sayur Campur (vegetable stir fry) was pleasant if a little under seasoned
• Must ensure our appetites are big enough for roti next time
• Timing of food and beverage arrivals is quite random
• Soft drinks are served at room temperature
• A light lunch for two with soft drinks came to only £
• That originated and is consumed in India
• It is a famous local dish with many variation
• The ingredients for making this doughy goodness are simple &ndash
• Already packed with many people inside
• All food we ordered came quickly with big portion that tasted really good
• Iced tea tarik is not as good as we expected
• Definitely will come back to Roti King (Euston) since we love malay cuisine and Roti King (Euston) is quite authentic ❤️
• It was the best I have ever had anywhere outside Malaysia
• A great option if you are around Euston station
• The service is hit and miss
• They consistently offer authentic taste with affordable price
• Not fancy but good enough to hang out with your close friends
• S one of my favourite types of cuisine and coming here was on my list for a long time
• It was hard to find a friend to come with me as the venue
• Great value Malaysian food with no (and that means absolutely zero) frills
• The roti are what are more commonly known as paratha in India and they are really good
• BYOB charge was a fiver plus 10% of your food bill (on what planet does it make sense to penalise diners for having a drink and thus in all probability ordering more food
• However the food is excellent and very good value
• This is the place for you if you are looking for Malaysian Street food in London
• We ordered Roti Canai with chicken curry and dhall and also had kari laksa and mee goreng noodles
• Proportions are huge and complete worth the price
• Less options if you are a pure vegetarian (one of us was)
• D call for on my death bed is Roti Canai the Malaysian flatbread which is traditionally served with a little pot of curry on the side
• Well after the queue which is there pretty much all the time
• Food is great when you take into account the price they charge which is a total value for money
• Delicious food from Singapore and Malasya in a friendly environment with a nice service
• It's a Tiny place there is always wait time
• The portions are large as well
• You can get a classic layered roti with Malaysian style daal
• You can also see how they make the rotis since there is not kitchen wall
• Vegetable beans and tofu was adequately spicy
• The Roti and curries are nice and authentic enough spice in the curry and not mellowed down
• The ice kacang though was no where near the usual ice kacang
• The ice shaving were not even shavings
• Rather they were like small pieces of ice
• The signboard is almost shady and unwelcoming but the raves about their food was what made me enter the tiny restaurant
• I went with a friend who had been there a few times I would recommend going with someone who knows what to pick from the menu
• The menu showcased variety and I knew I was in for a food adventure
• The restaurant is crowded and you'd mostly have to share a table
• The location is very convenient and accessible from Euston and Kings Cross station
• You will be expected to share your table with other guests of the restaurant
• Hands down the best joint for Malaysian hawker food in London
• Not all the items on the menu are hits but if you stick to the trio above
• S still probably the best effort going around
• We arrived at 12 on a Saturday and there was already a line not hard to see why when we tasted the food
• Sambal kangkung and roti canai with curry chicken
• The highlight was definitely the roti canai
• Roti King (Euston) serves awesome food and it is one of the best food experiences I had in London
• Because the place is small and you have to wait till seating is available
• This little place is quite literally a hole in the wall but the food is amazing
• The highlight was the laksa and the fishballs along with its rich soup
• Both rotis and mee goreng were also delicious
• Roti King attracts crowds of people always and my visit after work was no exception
• To be honest overall service quality is really really bad
• Atmosphere is trying to kick you out asap once you are done with the dish
• Service without kindness / manners are so disgusting
• Everything about Roti King (Euston) is screaming authentic
• The crowded setup and heat of the kitchen is found at many a hawker centre over in the East
• If you time your visit well you won't have to wait long which is a bonus because Roti King has very little seating which means turnover can take up to an hour
• We opt for the usual mee goreng and roti and wash it all down with cold milo (Milo Ping)
• I would say the nasi lemak is decent but not the best and the Kway Teow is quite good too
• This is one of the best places for value for money
• The curries are full of flavours which is typically influenced by south Indian style of cooking
• The only problem is that one needs to stand in a queue to find a place to seat in busy hours
• I like it and provides me the opportunity to chat with people from different parts of the woulds
• The restaurant itself is a really small canteen style eatery
• Tried the Roti Canai special with curry chicken which was pretty good (heavy as well though)
• Tried cold Milo (chocolate drink) which was a hot drink served with ice (first time for everything)
• The food was Malaysian but I felt it was a mix of Indo Malaysian
• The service is rather appealing
• The chicken / lambs canai special has so much flavour and is a must eat with a side portion of the &ldquo
• After spending an extended period of time in Europe we were delighted to find this basement restaurant close to our hotel in London
• The prices are very reasonable too but come early or be prepared for a wait
• Roti canai with chicken curry
• The roti canai was an absolute stand out
• The roti is as close as what u get in Malaysia and the chicken curry that accompanied it was fragrant with the right amount of spice
