Satay House (Paddington)

• Satay House is definitely somewhere worth trying out
• The food itself was wonderful we shared plenty of chicken
• Price wise it was pretty fair we had both over ordered the food and requested multiple drinks and yet the bill came to around £
• So I would expect it to be a little less with more considerate use of the menu
• Having lived in Melbourne (where I've had the best ever satay
• I love their tofu starters though the tofu skewers are exceptional
• Satay House (Paddington) is quite small despite having two levels so its best to go with a reservation during peak times
• This is a great place for large groups though as staff are lovely and super patient (try going out with a group that's keen to split 89 p equally
• So a group of friends say they are heading eat at Satay House came up I jumped at the chance for some Malaysian food
• The restaurant is hidden away behind the many Arab restaurants on edgeware road
• Satay House itself is very small
• We managed to get large big table downstairs which was within what can be described as a cave
• The other mains were 2 chicken dishes
• My rendang was really nice
• So value wise is just above average
• They don't deal with groups of people very well
• In fact they were trying to get us to agree to set menu and pre order
• So just go with a few people and enjoy
• Satay House is about a 10 minute walk from Paddington station
• The service was quite slow
• Chicken Satay (lamb option is also available) &ndash
• Juicy morsels of chicken thigh with irresistible char coal grill marks &
• Deep fried tofu stuffed with beansprouts
• The vegetables are refreshing
• Eggplant stir fried with fresh chillies and shrimp paste
• Mung beans are cooked down in thick syrupy coconut milk
• What makes it special is the delicious palm sugar smell &
• This is a small restaurant with a plain decor
• Primarily because everything is cooked fresh from scratch
• We ordered Satay (6 chicken skewers with peanut sauce) and for our mains we had Kari Ayam (Aromatic chicken curry)
• Malaysian food in London has yet to have its big stage yet so places are either clustered around Bayswater or dotted around London
• Love the traditional menu with a lot of Malaysian favourites
• One of which is actually Teh Tarik
• Satay House's version was sweet but also great to taste a bit of bitterness as well to temper the taste
• Most of the time I am also occupied with trying out new recipes
• Tweaking it to perfection before making sure the dish is good enough for my supperclub
• Parking a pram in the restaurant space is also quite challenging
• The dishes were already decided and I did not have a chance to look at the menu but you can be sure that Malaysian favourite noodle dishes such as the char kuay teow and curry laksa are on the menu
• The general agreement amongst the diners were that the ayam masak merah was not a teeny bit spicy and the prawn sambal could have had chilli heat
• I can say with conviction that this is great food
• Beriani and Nasi Goreng with some extra Beriani rice
• You won't be disappointed with this great flavours and good food
• Soto (this is particularly super tasty) and curry laksa
• I had the steamed chicken and rice which was their signature but the quality is now appalling
• The so called steamed chicken is a small piece of stale and bruised chicken re microwaved (or re re microwaved) totally tough and tasteless and I could not bear to eat it
• The tapioca melaka pudding is minuscule and one would expect them to be more generous with a price tag of over £
