Golden Mayfair in Southend-on-Sea

Food was delicious and staff are super friendly. The restaurant is clean and cosy. I love this place! I highly recommend it!

Amazing Malaysia food. Been searching for years and Golden Mayfair is the real deal. This is the first of many more visits. Lastly didn’t realise they sold beers and wine from their online menu so that was a bonus. This is our preferred place for pre show dinner.

Have had a couple of meals here instead of Soap Thai (which is also excellent)..but food wise this is slightly better and more authentic. Definitely on the return too list.

Tried this restaurant with friends this afternoon. I ate dumplings, fried squid, fried rice noodles, and chicken skewers, they were so delicious! The dumplings are crispy, the flower branches are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the rice noodles are springy and not greasy. Chicken skewers are my favorite! Tender! Then that Satay is impeccable! You can’t eat it outside, it’s delicious! recommend! There is also the Jasmine Tea, which is very fragrant and is obviously different from other teas. Highly recommended authentic Malaysian cuisine! No compare to takeaways!!!

Sunny and her team prepared the most amazing birthday take out for my family and I. Sunny suggested a great variety of dishes to suit all pallets, the food was fresh and fragrant and everyone loved it, they really went above and beyond to make my evening.

Great food, best Malaysian food by far, satay chicken is amazing

Excellent and authentic food and lovely people.

We had no idea there was a Malaysian restaurant in Westcliff and only learnt of it through an Instagram ad. Well, what a revelation! We have had Malaysian food in several London restaurants and this is up there with the best. I would love to recommend a stand-out dish, but everything we have tried has been absolutely superb and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

A wonderful street food experience. Fortunately we had booked as when we arrived at 7:00 there weren’t many tables left. There was a great friendly atmosphere and it appears that many regular customers. Service was good although we ordered a starter that took time to cook. We were warned at the time we ordered but were really hungry by the time it arrived. The food was really delicious and we will be returning.

Truly authentic Malaysian food. Absolutely amazing! Totally loved every dish we had. Will definitely come back.

Went in for a late lunch. Lovely food. I had Beef Rendang and my wife had Singapore Laksa.

What can I say about Golden Mayfair. This place is an absolute hidden gem. Me and my wife tried this place on the hop. We will definitely be eating here again. The chef made everything so fresh and delicious. The satay chicken is absolutely out of this world. We also had the rice noodles and a beef curry dish. All were full of flavour and so clean. The waiter recommended the rice beef curry dish for my wife. He was so attentive and couldn't do enough for us. All the staff here are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be visiting here again. If I could give six stars, I would. Scott Humphrey

Very nice and flavorful food. A real taste of the original Malaysian kitchen, with a very personal twist. It’s not a fancy place by any measure, but the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff is undeniable. Well worth a visit! And I can guarantee you’ll be wanting to come back here!

Regular visits here now, it’s real authentic Malaysian Street food, all cooked fresh and served Hot to the table, the flavours are fantastic, if you like Southeast Asian flavours from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and a bit of Indian influence then it’s the place, the noodle soups are excellent inc real Malaysian Laksa, and the Tom Yum Noodle is just as you would buy in Thailand, the fried Chicken wings are large, Roti, and Fried Rice, Summer Rolls,Curries , and fried Squid, slowly going through the menu. Can recommend it, and it’s so easy going

Excellent food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

Food is amazing, Service is great. I don't understand why it isnt buzzing non stop. A fuller restaurant would give it more atmosphere hence a score of 4 not 5.

Went with my family last weekend for Father's Day. The food was excellent, and my family said they would definitely recommend this place to their friends. 😊

Everything was flawless! I’d honestly comeback to Southend just to dine here ; authentic taste, friendly—quick service, and affordable prices. I highly recommend Singapore Laksa, Vietnamese Summer Spring Rolls and Rotti Canai with either chicken or Mutten.

Had the theatre booked for 7:30 across the road and needed to eat beforehand. Saw this restaurant was open and thought we'd give it a go. The staff were really friendly and attentive but not overly in your face, good advice given for dishes. For a starter, we had the Steamed Dim Sum platter in a basket, there were six pieces which we shared and it was quite enough as when the main courses (Nasi Goreng for me and Beef Rendang for my husband) arrived, the portions were really generous. Plus, you are given the option of chopsticks, not something you find in many Asian restaurants. The food was absolutely delicious and we'll be returning. First time we've eaten Malaysian Street Food but not the last. Thank you Golden Mayfair for a lovely dining experience.

All I can say is wow the food was amazing and the service was there to match! We went and were stuffed with amazing authentic food 😁 I couldn’t recommend this place enough :)

Done 3 visits so far in last 4 weeks, what a fantastic little place, food is superb, cooked fresh, great flavours, authentic Malaysian with good sized portions well presented food, has a nice and casual feel, one of our new favourites. !!

This is Malaysian food - don’t expect Chinese food - it’s great for a change - I had a stew and some sides and I can say it was very good - would recommend for a change from your regular Asian food if you like something different from the usual!

After having take away from here a few times I went into sit down. The food was just as amazing food with lots of new tasty dishes to try. My young family and I loved it. Service was fantastic and food was delicious. Want to come back soon.

Very tasty food at a reasonable price. Would be happy to return if in the area again.

Lovely fresh and authentic food and great service.

Wow finally a restaurant that has made my No1 spot for great food and service. So I found this place randomly as I was in the area of Southend and am so glad to have found it. It's not a very big place with only several tables but the welcome from staff was amazing, so friendly and polite even though we came 5 mins before last orders. Menu was good amount of options and all the chicken and lamb halal. Now the best part the food, and all I can say best food I've had in a very long time, everything was super delicious, for starters the chicken satay, was out of this world, best ever homemade peanut sauce. Then on the mains, everything has so much flavour and tastes amazing, the roti canai with chicken and Dhall is a must try, cooked so perfectly. At the end I had to ask the chef to come out so we can thank them for the amazing food and when she came out she was so friendly and joyful, she explained how her family are all street food vendors in Penang Malaysia hence why her food was so good and authentic. Seriously my number spot currently and a must try, prices are so reasonable also.

We are pretty spoiled for choice with good restaurants around here but Golden Mayfair has long been among my favourites. It was great as a Chinese restaurant and is now even better since they moved over to a mainly Malaysian menu. The staff are lovely and the food is delicious and beautifully presented.

Wonderful food and a lovely family owned restaurant - I couldn’t rate this place highly enough

Deliciously authentic Malaysian food at the Golden Mayfair - a Westcliff gem! Service swift and personable. Whole family enjoyed a tantalising starter of special vegetarian spring rolls, edamame beans and fried wings. Roti canai, curry exceptional, with tasty beef rendang. Generous portions! Chilled wine, iced water on the side. Craving Malaysian food since returning from living in Kuala Lumpur. We will be back!

Honestly … the best Hainanese chicken rice I have ever had!! (My grandad was Malaysian) I’m so happy that this place is here. The food has super flavours. The Chennai roti’s are so light & fluffy, the mutton curry so tender and punchy, the laksa is so luxurious & richly spiced to perfection. This is auntys home cooked traditional Malaysian food! The staff are so friendly & passionate about what they do … I already have my list ready for my next order!

Randomly picked this place as it was nearest to theatre. Ended up having the best curry I have ever had. The beef Randang was spectacular. I will honestly be driving to westcliff just for that alone. Great food , lovely staff & reasonable prices.

Absolutely amazing food. I have visited Malaysia and Singapore before snd the food here is just as authentic as the food over there. We look forward to coming back here

Went for lunch and it was amazing. Beautiful and fresh and really different dishes. Lovely staff. We shared some starters and they were deliscious. Best chicken satay I have tasted. Will definitely be going back.

Very good food, nice staff, good atmosphere, 5⭐️

Good service, great food and excellent price. The best Satay I've ever had.

This is the best Malaysian restaurant I've visited in the UK, and I've been to a few in London and around. The service is fantastic, food is top notch and portions are big, all for a very reasonable price. Workers are very kind and efficient. Overall we loved it here and we'd definitely come back!

Best place for truly authentic Malaysian food, always come here to get my roti canai + Malaysian curry fix! 10/10 service too from the lovely staff.

I went there with my family. We chose this restaurant because of already very good reviews as well as Halal foods. We ordered Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng and beef rendang. All of them were amazing and Nasi Lemak was one of the best ones I had. The staff were very nice, especially Adal. There was a new staff who started working there on the same day we went. He had done a good job as well.

Absolutely delighted by my recent visit! The food was exceptionally delicious and truly authentic Malaysian cuisine at its best. I particularly recommend trying the Singapore Curry Laksa Noodles!

Roti Canai Chicken Curry! Simply Amazing! 😍

Excellent service and exceeded food. Highly recommended. Thanks for a good evening.

Most authentic and delicious Malaysia food I ever had in UK. They know how to cook Malaysian food for sure ! 10/10 must try !

The proprietress is from Malaysia and cooks by herself The food is very delicious and friendly. The price is very reasonable. If you come here, you must try it here.

I’m a Malaysian and I will say that this place is amazing. We stumbled upon it while we were hungry after the journey to the beaches. Most of the restaurants are closed and we got sick of chips all day, missed home, found a Malaysian restaurant really close by! The owner was very pleasant and she cooks like no other here, brought the flavours straight from Penang authentically! I recommend anyone who comes here to try the Nasi Lemak and Fried Rice, it’s really delicious. Things to note, remember to make reservations ahead of time!

Food was alright. Service was a bit slow.

I got wonderful experience there. Service is awesome. Food is mind-blowing and so tasty. I felt real taste of Malaysia street food as i always enjoyed in Malaysia.

Only get a take way but it's a great place. Food is great.

Amazing food, reasonable prices and absolutely wonderful and friendly service with a smile. We loved it!!

We had an excellent experience at this lovely little restaurant. Every dish we had was delicious and the service was charming. Thoroughly recommended

Authentic food , lovely staff. Really different to Chinese and Thai. Lots of starters and really good portions.A must visit.

I’m afraid I didn’t see what other reviewers have experienced our visit to this restaurant was a disaster and we wouldn’t go back again. Firstly the restaurant was empty apart from two tables. The immediate impression is of stark unlit tables bright lights and no ambiance whatsoever. The tables were not all made up which looked sloppy. Each table had QR information which was unnecessary and also not very clean. The place needs some attention to how it looks it’s a big area and this could be improved a great deal. We ordered some starters which were basically frozen delights that were tasteless and not worth the money. I ordered us 3 dishes for the mains unfortunately one of these arrived on its own and was semi cold before the second dish arrived and even further for the third. These should have been sent out together there was clearly a problem in the kitchen despite it being a quiet period. The mains were poor. The beef rendang was dry the meat had clearly been cooked but this should have been slow cooked to perfection and it was dry and difficult to chew and swallow certainly not worth the £14 price tag. The nasi chicken also £14 was disgusting, it was so dry and overcooked and as stated earlier it was semi cold and tasted horrible with the sauce. The only nice dish was the Singapore noodles which was served hot and was tasty. Overall pretty bad I’m afraid. The wine was also disgusting. It was a Chilean Sav Blanc worth about £2 to buy but available to us at £22! We drank it out of desperation and commiseration of such a poor experience. We never left a payment for service which we always generously do as the service was poor in its organisation and in delivering the meal. Overall the meal cost over £70 for what we ate and drank this was in no way value for money. The food was in places cold dry and tasteless. The wine was expensive and insipid. We did not enjoy ourselves and will not be returning. I’m surprised the experience was so poor given recent reviews but this is a true and honest account of our experience.

A trip to Westcliff means a trip to the Golden Mayfair, and it was well worth the drive from north London. Greeted with a big smile and a warm hug by the lovely Senny before we sat down to gaze at all the possibilities on her menu, it was hard to decide what to order and what to leave out. The pumpkin croquettes and vegetable gyoza with sweet chilli sauce were a must, as were the kuey teow noodles and creamy beef rendang. The roti canai were melt-in-the-mouth delicate and delicious, all washed down - rather naughtily - with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio. Can't get food like this where I live, so I ordered a take away of some of the above for the hubster's evening meal, for which I received a generous dollop of brownie points. If you love well prepared Asian food, do visit the Golden Mayfair, you won't regret it!

First went here a while back. We often travel to Malaysia and love the food this restaurant serves the best and most authentic Malaysian food I have eaten in the UK. Everything is freshly cooked, the Roti dishes are to die for as are the noodle and curry dishes. We have taken friends here who have also become regular customers and even taken a large group as a Chinese New Year celebration and everyone had a fantastic experience.

Great little find, food amazing Sattay to die for £100 for 4 of us happy days. Will Defo come back

That was amazing , food fresh tasty and authentic. Staff lovely . Give it try !

Really impressed, my mother isn’t the easiest to please with food and it was a gamble choosing Malaysian on a Sunday rather than a roast but both of us could not fault the food here! Everything cooked fresh and even the spring rolls were freshly made ! We will 100% be back

We have been meaning to pop into here for a while. As we were nearby on a Sunday we went for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The noodle dish I had was excellent as was the Roti Canai my wife had. We will be going back.

Chanced upon this Restaurant while walking into town. Malaysian classic street food . Tasty and Authentic. Give it a try. Good price point and generous portions. The Laska was good and.my wife had the mee goreng which she said was tasty. The chicken curry for the Roti Chanai was very tasty and lemak. Finally a Malaysian Restaurant serving classics which is decent.

The food was authentic and flavoursome which is hard to find in Southend. We ordered the laksa, nasi lemak, char kway teow, chicken satay skewers and spring rolls. The highlight was the chicken satay skewers, the meat was soft and juicy and the sauce was on point, which is hard to find even in central London. Shout out to the waitress Aled! She was super friendly and kept the two year old occupied whilst we ate. Overall, had a great meal and we will definitely be back as we want to try the hainanese chicken rice which is only available on the weekends.

Extremely kind and helpful staff and of course delicious food! They missed something on my order by accident once and the lovely lady delivered it to my house and added something on the house. Not promising the same but they’re good customer orientated people.

It was a little cold in there, they have some delicious dishes and their roti were something so light, crispy and perfection. The beef that we had was so tender and their flavoursome, apart from the wonton soup which was a little bland.

Authentic M'sia/S'pore food, we had satay and curry laksa, food is flavourful, generous portion with reasonable price. Service is excellent, will definitely go back again.

Food is delicious. Highly recommend the Malaysian chicken curry, beef rendeng, roti canai (breads) and fried chicken gyoza. Lovely friendly staff. Reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because they need to get meals out closer to each other. I had finished before others got their meals. Well worth a visit.

The food was all delicious and very efficient and very friendly service. We can't wait to go back.

Absolutely delicious food. I have visited this restaurant numerous times over the last few months and it never disappoints. Friendly staff, great food and spotlessly clean.

A lovely little restaurant serving authentic Malaysia food. Service is great and food are flavourful. Hokkien noodles is superb. Definitely will go back again.

Great to have a different cuisine type in yhe area and these guys nailed it. There's a sign that says the meals may take some time as they are all cooked to order. That's fair. Make sure you know what to expect. We didn't wait long at all but it wasn't busy as we were early. The food was very very good and the service very friendly. We even got tips on roti making. Must visit venue.

Was recommended to try the golden Mayfair, wasn't disappointed it was amazing

I just love this place!! Quality of food is fantastic. We actually ordered three mains to share between us because everything sounded so yummy! The Malaysian chicken curry with the roti was delicious and the noodles with char Sui pork came with a wonton soup which was also lovely. Reasonable prices too!

Dropped in for an impromptu dinner on a Thursday night. There was a decent crowd but not full. We shared the xi long bao and the pork and crab spring rolls as starters. The xi long bao were passable dumplings but not soup dumplings but the spring rolls were great. We followed that up with roti (soft and flakey) and laksa. The laksa was fantastic. It had a slightly deeper flavour than a normal curry laksa, almost a cross between a Asam Laksa and a curry laksa. The price is incredibly reasonable and we live local so will be going back.

Good quality food . Really must try this authentic Malaysian food. Great service. Starters are absolutely amazing. Lovely staff.

Best Laksa in the UK! I will come here again and try their other dishes. Lovely staff too :)

Authentic Malaysian /Southeast Asia cuisine. It is a must try restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. 5 star all round. Would recommend 👌

Loved our first meal eating in here. The service was really friendly, and the food was delicious. You can tell this was cooked fresh and care was taken to make sure it was authentic. Food was miles ahead of when it used to be Chinese. Will definitely be telling our friends and family to try this restaurant!

An amazing gem. We are here tonight and were blown away. The food was fantastic and staff were incredible. We’ll be back again very soon!

Would highly recommend. Staff very welcoming and friendly and the food is tasty and fresh. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

My husband and I just had an amazing meal at the Golden Mayfair. The food was so tasty and the owners who also cook the food are such lovely genuine people. They deserve every success as they put their heart and soul into the food and experience for their customers. They have only been open for 4 months after taking the business solely into their own hands and turning it around into something very special. This is a gem of place. I will be recommending to all my friends and family. We’ll be going back soon! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Fab Malaysian food- casual dining - street food. In the past it may have been Chinese but it’s not now. We had roti canai with dhal, followed by penang char keow tao (apologies for the spelling) and then the Ayam Nasai something that had the anchovy Sambal. It reminded us of our travels through Malaysia, and we will be coming back here for more food - until our next travels abroad

Amazing Malaysian food!!! The Roti canai was so authentic! Dinner here was a real treat. Thank you Golden Mayfair... see you soon xx

The chicken Malaysian curry was delicious with really nice puffy flatbreads and coconut rice.

Great tasting food, all freshly cooked. Friendly and efficient service. We will be back to taste more of the dishes

I come here somewhat frequently and I must say I really approve of their rebranding into primarily Malaysian cuisine. It's so refreshing to see a thriving Malaysian restaurant, as those are hard to come by in Westcliff. Great food, and also great service. My personal favourite has to be the beef renddang but looking forward to trying some other dishes on a future visit!

I went with a Malay friend and we were blown away by the restaurant. Absolutely delicious food and authentic food, really really friendly service. We were so impressed, we went back 2 days later. Wish I lived in Westcliff!

Amazing tasty authentic food I will be coming back, we went in by luck on the way to the Palace,wow

This food is INCREDIBLE!! The satay chicken and the laksa are the best I’ve ever had!! 🙌👌

One of the best Malaysian Food I have ever eating and I have travelled both Malaysia and Singapore from top to bottom, East to West.

Amazing place! Delicious food. Wonderful staff. Highly recommend Golden Mayfair for a tasty Malaysian lunch/dinner!

First time here, will definitely travel from Romford just to come back. Exceptional food, we had traditional Malaysian food cooked to perfection great staff very attentive great value for money. Thank you

Went on Saturday night and had a great meal, Roti Canai, Curry Laksa and Beef Rendang. Served by very friendly staff and the price was very reasonable too. Highly recommended and a nice change from Indian and Chinese food

Food was good and we’ll definitely come back again!

It is not easy to find a Malaysian restaurant in this area, but to find a good one with authentic tasting dishes is wonderful. The beef rendang is exceptional and we chatted the whole meal comparing our food to what we get on our visits to Malaysia. Good service, clean and reasonably priced added to a great visit. We will be back!

Fantastic food, this is the real deal folks, please go and try. After many years living in the Far East I was desperate to find a restaurant which reflected the best side of Asian - and particularly Malay - cooking. On a trip to Southend, we visited this new restaurant and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, happy and helpful, and the food was out of this world delicious - proper authentic Asian cuisine. Big portions at very reasonable prices and the wine was good too! We went back 2 days later and then again for a take away meal, and will definitely eat there again on our next visit to Westcliff. Enjoy yourselves - I think you will!

lovely food we came from east London I would Highly recommend the dishes the hospitality and the service was fabulous 👌

Amazing food well worth a visit or take away 👍

Very good service Malaysian food affordable prices clean restaurant great tasting food lovly staff only snag cash only or bank transfer

Excellent service Excellent fresh food affordable prices people who go above and beyond for you very clean restaurant please try

I often pop in with my family as it’s so local. We have never had a bad meal. I really enjoyed the Chinese Food, always tasty and plentiful. Tried the Malaysian street food equally delicious and my granddaughter unfortunately fell in love with the Roti dipped in sugar. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous food, very good friendly service, highly recommended!
