Cafe Rasa Malaysia

Absolute gem of a restaurant in the shopping centre. The food and the decor is top notch with a great courteous staff and the owner of the restaurant is a fantastic person to have a chat with. Also the business is in a positive limelight with the local community was a great piece of information. Staff were great to talk to and felt that I was in Malaysia for a while. The vibes were that good. Thank you!

This is the real deal! Excellent authentic Malaysian food with warm and thoughtful service. I passed by several times and almost all seats were filled, for good reason. Despite the density of tables, the staff ensure you have plenty of space and move things around for you. We shared roti with chicken curry (delicious and plenty of chicken pieces), king prawn laksa, beef rendang nasi lemak, karipap and chicken rice. All were delicious and the sambal served with the nasi lemak was perfect (I reckon the owner is well aware, as they also sell jars for you to take home!). The fried chicken skin was paper thin and crisp, served with flavourful chicken rice. My only gripe is I wished the nasi lemak was served with more beef rendang as the portion was disproportionate to the amount of rice. The price is higher than the fast food joints around the corner, but is a much better choice by far.

The staff here are so nice and friendly! When we weren’t sure what to try, a young staff was really patient and gave us great suggestions. The beef nasi lemak was absolutely delicious — the beef was tender, flavorful, and full of rich taste. The mixed satay is also a must-try! The grilled meat paired perfectly with the rich peanut sauce. Highly recommend this place~

Cafe Rasa hands down serves some of the best Malaysian food I’ve had in a long time! The menu is packed with so many tempting options that it honestly took me a while to decide. I was craving everything. We appreciate receiving the warmest welcome by the staffs Solehah, Johan, Darwish, and the owner Azlina! Love the friendly and energetic atmosphere here. Highly recommend this place to anyone in London or visiting London, craving or curious about authentic Malaysian cuisine. We ordered Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, Nasi Ayam, Penang Asam Laksa, Bandung, Milo, and the Coconut Shake which is seriously top-tier. The fried chicken? Perfectly crispy, just the right amount of garing. The nasi ayam was full of flavor and well marinated. The laksa has the perfect blend of spice and tanginess that I craved so much. Will definitely be coming back!

It is an ideal restaurant to go to eat after being several hours inside the mall, although it is a small restaurant, it is open and very cosy. Their staff is very friendly and attentive. Although I had never tried Malaysian food, I found its menu attractive and very colourful. After ordering I can say that the Malaysian food is delicious, I really liked its presentation, its flavours and aromas. I especially loved the fried chicken because it was delicious and crispy, I loved it. What would improve is the coconut shake, because it is too sweet and the palate becomes cloying, it seems to me that the bottom had toffee or caramel. Soups are also very tasty. Upon leaving the restaurant they were very kind and generous to give us some jack fruit chips typical of Malaysia.
