Hawker's Kitchen in Islington

Very small but cute place. Seats not super comfortable. We went early to get a table. My friends liked the Dosa and Roti. One had beef rendeng and it was a good portion size! she said flavour was okay. I had the chicken curry and there was barely any chicken. the vegetables i ordered were nice but so much oil and garlic. I wouldn't go there again; my malaysian friend said it was average; my Brit friend liked it a lot.

i had a nice lunch there. the food was tasty! the dosa was huge! and the stuff was very friendly. i wish they had more vegan options, the dishes can’t be changed in vegan ones, that’s a pity, they also do delivery.

Utterly reprehensible conduct by staff. I ordered a Dum Biriyani, was told by staff member it would take 10 mins. Waited for over 30 mins, nothing arrived, staff surly and incompetent. Requested refund, only then staff went to check where the item was, still no joy, took 5 mins to get my money back. No apology or regret from staff. Utterly incompetent lady. Never visiting this terrible place again.

I came here with friends back in February 2022 and really enjoyed the food. I have been telling my partner about this place ever since and we finally got to go for dinner yesterday. I really enjoyed the chilli paneer last time so I got it again only to be disappointed ☹️ portion was smaller and it was more cut up red bell pepper and only 6 cubes of paneer. I then ordered chicken Mi Goreng but there was lots of cube tofu and only 3 pieces of actual in it eventho there was no mention of Tofu in the menu so I felt tricked and robbed. The chicken Biryani was a small portion with 2 tiny cube of chicken one of which is mainly bone, again very disappointing. At the end of dinner I actually felt embarrassed taking my partner there after talking about how great it is to my partner for months. I don’t normally mind paying extra for a good quality meal but unfortunately in this occasion the food was overpriced, portion was small and for me personally it was just not worth it.

The roti is very flaky and circular which fell apart when picked up. Very difficult to dip into the curry sauce when the roti is composed of flakes which kept falling apart and there is nothing substantial to grip when dipping into the sauce. Ended up pouring the sauce onto the flakes on the plate and eating with a fork. And of course, it wasn't freshly made before it's brought to your table. The Kway Teow Goreng was oily and although I ordered chicken, I was served prawn and charged for prawn. My lunch companion had to wait at least half an hour for his dish to arrive and had to ask twice when it was coming. I had finished before his arrived, and when it did, his fried chicken was raw on the inside. Very disappointing experience. Won't be going back!

ROTI CANAI IS NOT MADE FRESH They are bulk made and fried ahead of service and then reheated on the hot plate when ordered. When I queried this with the staff they told me they it is fresh because they make it in the morning. Shame as the curry is very nice, but would still recommend Roti King instead where the roti is always fresh

Tried this place out for lunch. Cafe style, food was really good. Chicken Dosa, mee goreng, Lamb curry and roti, huge punjab samosas, washed down with a delicious cold teh tarik. Excellent will go again.

normally go to Roti King, but will be coming here from now on, good food size portions , homemade and very flavoursome

Visited on a busy Sunday afternoon. Service was great as was most of the food. Ordered masala dosa- crisp and delicious. Fish curry and rice was disappointing- both in taste and portion size. Nasi goreng was fine. Good location and value for money. Worth the visit-

being a Malaysian i had to try this venue as i had heard about it . ordered biryani , dosa and rendang . easy to order and food was ready on the allocated time . i had a take away . well presented and packed . quality of food is very very good and very genuine . i am pleased that it is just around the corner from my workplace as it will definitely be my regular eaterie. i must admit that i probably would not have a meal in the venue as there are only a few tables and a little chaotic as its a very small place . well done and hope it works

I am not quite sure what the hype is about this place. The food is decent, but far from being extraordinary when compared to the competition such as Roti King, C&R café or Rasa Sayang. The worrying issue with the place is the service. Imagine more than 3 staff members and only 6 clients… I waited for 20 minutes for my main dish while others had already finished their ones… Portions are on the smaller size too. I doubt I’ll be going back.

Chef and staffs weren't wearing face mask. Floor of the restaurant looked filthy. Food was good and tasty. Best Laksa I had tasted in London so far. The roti was also good.

A no thrills restaurant where you can see the chef behind a plastic screen cooking dosas. I ordered kway teow goreng and the portion was huge (generous with prawns) at great value for less that £9. An improvement is that the dish needs wok hei (smoke aroma from the wok) and the dish needs to be a thoroughly hot temperature (some ingredients were luke warm).

We went here after work as I heard good reviews from my malaysian friends and it did not disappoint. They do deliveries most of time and has limited seats but the food was so yum! We had mee mamak and beef rendang which was so sublime and beautifully done as auth as it can be. If you miss home food, def worth a visit

I’ve ordered both their Keow Teow goreng fish and chicken and it is amazing!! Especially the seafood one

Super tasty flavoursome food. Best Beef Rendang ever. The dosa’s very fantastic. We ordered from this place again and the food was just as good, so they’re consistent. A must try for inexpensive quality food.

Had the roti chanai with chicken curry and lamb curry and plain Dosai. The taste was very authentic and delicious just like you get in South East Asia. The shop is more of a cafe with only 3 tables. They mainly do deliveries. Did a...

Rather hectic when we first arrived as there were several orders. A good sign that the place must serve good food which it did. We had the dosai freshly made, lamb curry and chicken biryani. Not too keen about chicken breast but the quantity of...

A short distance from King's Cross Station, this delightful "kitchen" serves good Malaysian and South Indian food. I had Chicken Curry with Rice plus Kang Kong Belachan (morning glory with shrimp paste and sambal). Not your usual British curry but only Asian will appreciate. Chicken...
