Melur in City of London, Westminster

So glad I came to this amazing gem. Authentic Malaysian food. Generous portion so no worries you will be left hungry still after your visit. We had the nasi kandar, flooding with curry and the sambal belachan was just superb. The nasi ayam is recommended too. Teh tarik, just nice - sweet but not overly so. Pak Azie, the owner is friendly and helpful. So willing to share his recipes, terima kasih! If you want authentic Malaysian food, this is the place. Even have Hacks sweets at the till for the home away from home feel.

We went to Melur especially for the Ramadan iftar buffet - everyone sat and waited to break their fast together and it was such a sweet, family-like atmosphere. Brilliant food spread, lots of Malaysian dishes I hadn't tried before and a few familiar ones too (chilli crab!), and also an extensive dessert spread as well as hot and cold drinks. Service was great, staff were on hand to answer any questions and were friendly and attentive. We noticed a couple of families with small children were also there and they seemed to also really enjoy themselves. If you want authentic, homely Malaysian food in London, highly recommended! Will definitely be back outside of Ramadan too.

We went there on Christmas day . That was yesterday. Four of us in the group. Since we came here before we decided to go back again. However ,this time is not very good. We waited for 30 min before the food arrived. 2 of our dishes came late and the prices soared high. I know it's Christmas but ... When we got the receipt the service charge was 9.79 X2 😮 .. Is this a service charge for Christmas?? I mean yeah, they are friendly 👍 but waiting for 30min and a delay of some orders is not good .

They can’t cope on busy evenings which previous reviews have mentioned Ordered the nasi ayam and the daging black pepper beef which was decent but nothing special Had items on our bill that we didn’t order They charge for ‘bottomless tap water’ They include a service charge and the card machine then asks for a tip.

Interior down a flight of stairs, lacks daylight- a rather large space. Soulless ambience. Ordered the Nasi Kandar- Presentation of food was terrible- looked awful when first arrived and nothing like the photo in the menu. It looked like a total Food mess! Chicken fried, absolutely tasteless! - batter was too thick and the chicken was blend, not marinated. The Sauce on rice was nice but made the whole dish look like an absolute mess! Sambal was excessively sour, cabbage was blend as well. All in all was very unimpressed with this version of Nasi kandar . Service was ok.

We spontaneously decided to try out Melur on a Friday night, our group of 7 were seated right away and the service was friendly from the get go. Ordered Roti Canai which was delicious and the Kari Laksa reminded me of home. I would definitely come back here again. The food was great, arrived in good time and the service was great too. Makanan itu sangat sedap !!

Went there as wanted to try another Malaysian place in London. Ordered the Char Kway Teow and Chendol. The Char Kway Teow was nothing to shout home about. Portion was small and for some reason they included greens and a lemon on the side as part of the dish. Not authentic! Regarding the Chendol, when this did not arrive after 20 minutes (after receiving the Char Kway Teow first), I queried this with the server who then spoke to somebody else and he simply said whilst passing me "not available today". Did not even offer me the choice of something else or apologise. If it is not available, then say so at the start, Not really that difficult. Whilst I am used to "bad" service at Chinese restaurants and often just pass it off, the whole experience at Melur was disappointing and will not be going back again.

Booked for dinner here after strong recommendations from Malaysian friends and it did not disappoint! I saw several parties of Malaysians dining the moment I walked down to the restaurant and I knew the food was going to be authentic. I had the Nasi Kandar which was AMAZING!! I would even say it was better than some of the Nasi dishes I had in Malaysian and South East Asia! My friend had the Nasi Lemak which was good but not as good as the Nasi Kandar. It was all very reasonable priced which is a bonus. The service was really friendly too, although I do agree with the other reviews that it took a long time for the food to arrive, which is surprising for a weekday evening, but the food was worth the wait. The restaurant is a bit ran down though and needs a bit of TLC, so it's probably not that suitable for a special occasion or dates. But the food is so excellent I would definitely return!

You would walk straight past in on Edgware Road if you didn't know to look for it... It is most certainly not a grand, fine-dining experience as you descend into a subterranean room which is the restaurant. But wow, what an absolute treasure chest of incredible Malaysian dishes. I have been back a number of times and I've yet to be disappointed with anything that we've ordered. On average, we spend about £18-20pp and you will feel not only comfortably full, but deeply satisfied with the sheer deliciousness of their dishes when you leave. Naturally, there is no alcohol served on site, but if you would like a tipple with your meal, the staff are very happy to cater glasses etc if you would like to BYOB (no corkage is charged). Their laksas, chilli crab, sambal goreng terung and nasi ayam penyet are all firm favourites. I will keep coming back to Melur time and time again Terima kasih!

I visited Melur with my family for dinner one night while we were staying in London, we found that the service was quick and friendly and the food tasty. I had Pad Thai which was the best Pad Thai that I have every had, it was just the right amount of spice and tasted fresh and hot. My mum enjoyed a crispy tofu salad. For London the prices were really good and it didn't cost the earth to have dinner. The only problems we found was that the actual restaurant was a little dungeon like, as it was in a basement and it smelled damp. Also as it got busier we noticed that other people food took a long time to come out, so I suggest you go earlier in the evening to have speedy service.

Found this place tucked away on Edgware Rd after a long day. We decided to go in as we wanted to try something completely different IE Malaysian cuisine. We weren’t at all disappointed with what we received for the prices we paid. The food was flavoursome and portions were good. The only let down is a lack of atmosphere as it’s essentially underground and the decor is very claustrophobic. Other than that, everything else was great (service, food, wait times) We got to talk to the owner at the end who seems like a friendly man that’s passionate about his food. Worth a try for sure if you’re after a new taste.

bad service bad place rude staff. l asked for chicken curry and roti. first they get it wrong then l repeat l need chicken curry, the server says “ok ok you will pay extra okay you will pay extra” and he takes part of the first dish served away and they charged me for all of it..l mentioned this to the server l made the payment to and was told ”oh we took it away cuz it was complimentary”when the item was part of the dish as stated in the menu... If you are not Malay you’ll most likely be fooled here. Save yourself some money and energy and go elsewhere.

Mi amigo y yo visitamos Melur para cenar, desde el momento en que entramos, la bienvenida y el servicio que recibimos fue excepcional. Ahora vayamos a la parte importante de la comida, ¡oh, la comida era deliciosa, de buen tamaño y fresca! He comido en varios restaurantes de Malasia en Londres, y este fue el mejor, definitivamente recomendado, los precios son razonables.

Craving Indo / Malay food for dinner so we went here, the food tasted ok but its not that good too, they served us a cold steamed rice, on top of that we waited 45 minutes only just for them to serve us the drinks. Add bad customer service to the list, the restaurant staff is really rude and not helpfull at all. Such a shame, definitely not recommending this place to anyone.

I don’t understand all the positive reviews - I know Pak Awie had quite a reputation but our lunch was beyond poor. First up, the manager was polite and took our order efficiently so no complaints on the service. The menu looked substantial with all the Malay classics available. We went for Menu C. Unfortunately all the food was immensely bland and did not taste fresh at all. I tasted no ginger, kefir lime leaves or lemongrass or in fact any Asian spices. It is so far from anything that resembles Malaysian food that I’m shocked. Afterwards we thought to check the food hygiene rating - 1 out of 5!! That is pathetic and shows that whoever is running this place cares little about the quality of what they’re serving. My suggestion: avoid! Hopefully one day this place will improve because there really aren’t enough Malay options in London.

The desserts must be the highlight of this restaurant. Kueh dadar, chendol and sago pudding were truly authentic. So is the roti canai which comes with a very tasty curry. Chicken satay was most succulent. We tried more desserts than the main courses in our two visits. The couple who ran the restaurant were friendly and most hospitable. Prices were so so and there is a 10% service charge.

Pak Awie is very friendly and the food served are very tasty and portion is fairly big. Location is also good near bus stops and tube station

I went there with friends coming from Malaysia. The first time there and someone recommended nasi kandar. It was the most satisfying dish i ever had here in UK. The sambal belacan is excellent and the curry is very delicious just the style kari org utara not the mamak style. Love it! Would definitely come back for more.

Melur has the best nasi kandar in London, would definitely recommend others to try it out. The portion is generous as well. Service is quite fast too

Nunca he tenido comida malaya antes, pero me alegro de haber comido aquí como mi primera experiencia. La forma en que lo vi cuando entré fue. . . bueno, si los malasios y sus familias están comiendo aquí, entonces debe ser algo bueno. Fue genial ver que era familiar con los niños y sus padres comiendo afuera, corriendo y divirtiéndose. Tuve chuletas de cordero sambal y una laska de mariscos, lo que me solucionó para siempre. Muy sabroso, abundante y la cantidad justa de especias. Volveré de nuevo la próxima vez que esté en la zona. Terima kasih.

Se esforzó por ignorar el anuncio fuera de Melur: nasi kandar! Siendo de Kedah y después de haber trabajado en Penang durante una buena docena de años, el deseo comenzó pero resistí pero solo por una semana. El consumo diario de pan de alguna manera provocó una señal en mi cerebro de que se debe hacer algo antes de que mi lengua y mi estómago se unan para rebelarse. Así que fui y pedí nasi kandar a Melur: arroz blanco generosamente cubierto de curry y condimentos con un trozo de pollo frito. ¡Devoré la comida en el momento en que volví a mi departamento y sentí que estaba en la nube 9 antes de hacer el tabú de convertir el precio de 8 libras por cuarto 40! Dios mío, nasi kandar a ese precio me daría pollo, calamar, cordero y pescado todos juntos. Pero, de nuevo, esto es Londres, y debo recordar el sabio consejo de un viajero experimentado: nunca se convierta e imagine que está en su moneda o no va a permitir su viaje. Así que valió la pena, ya que rm 8 sería el precio normal en KL hoy en día para nasi kandar.

Good food, I hope this place do better than b4 and keep develop to bring more Malaysian and Indonesian foods to London/England.

This is a simple laid back restaurant. The owners are friendly, food is delicious and prices are fair. 👍

Articulación del sótano oscurecida por andamios que deben estar matando cualquier comercio que pase. Estaba casi vacío en una noche de San Valentín, posiblemente por esta razón. Espero que esto esté lleno de lo contrario.La comida llegó bien picada. Beef Rendang fue el verdadero negocio y se compensó con los no rendangs en otros lugares. Tenía verduras con una salsa de coco que era un toque demasiado dulce para mi gusto (soy nuevo aquí), pero hay mucho más en este amplio menú para explorar.Es BYO, como si no hubiera suficiente para gustar de este lugar. Nos lanzamos al lugar con un pinot noir decente del waitrose local y una rosa para el coco.Es increíblemente barato. Teníamos un arroz cada uno con nuestros platos principales - coco para mí, que probablemente me volcó sobre el borde del coco. Nuestra factura era de 15 o menos servicio incluido. Insano. ¿Cómo pueden incluso pagar el alquiler aquí?El personal era totalmente dulce. Debería estar más ocupado. Volveré de todos modos Los buenos BYO se están volviendo más raros que los dientes de gallina en Londres.

Loved the Laksa, roti canai, char kway teow in this restaurant! The service is good although sometimes you have to wait longer for your order, but it’s still worth the wait.

The food was good enough but doesn't have the oomph your looking for.The resturant is clean but you have to wait 25-30 mins to get your starters and then 20min for each course.Nah wouldn't go again.

We ordered 9 Nasi Kandar but only got a few. When we let them know about the missing ones, they said its on the way. However, when the waiter bring out the nasi kandar, it was given to other customers that come in wayy LATER than us !! Not once, but THRICE !! Everytime nasi kandar was bring out to the front, the waiter gave to other LATER customers !! When we ask the old lady at the counter, she was furious back at me! What the!??? we waited for 1.5 hours and still didnt get the food!! Some other friends had already finish eating. WHY THE HELL GIVE THE ORDER TO THOSE COME IN LATER THAN US??? first come first serve basis lah!! Never gonna come here again. The old lady scold me and said “Takkan tak faham. Kan ramai orang!”

We stayed Edgware service apartment. Had dinner at this Malaysian Malay Restaurant. Moment of entrance was greeted with a warm and smiling welcome.

Not sure about other people previous comment but we had the opposite treatment here. Food was very fast Staff there were nice to us. If you miss Malaysian food when your abroad for quite sometime Melur has quite a variety of Malaysian menu here.

This restaurant is a true gem in Edgware Road every time I’m around I make sure I must visit. The customer service there is amazing the staff are so welcoming that I feel so at home that it feels disrespectful to leave my plate on the table when leaving. The food has amazing flavours I have never tried before. If you are around or want to try Malaysian food this place is a must visit.

I can’t believe that anyone could mix dry power in liquid and call it a curry!!! Awful curry and egg friend had rice lumps, the sea food toast was soaked in oil. When we complained to the waiter after waiting ages the answer we got back was “oh we are busy”. Avoid this place as the owners do not care about their own food. The waiter had no idea what vegetables are the Laska but look Malaysian herself. In the end she said yeah it’s got carrots!! Disgrace!

Nak tolong Melayu but this was how we were treated. Waited for almost an hour and when asked the old lady behind the counter to check on our order; she snapped and asked us to sit down when the food are ready we will be called.

Ser malayo en el extranjero a veces te apetece una comida casera de Malasia. Pues este es el lugar para ir. Olvídate de conducir allí, no hay aparcamiento alrededor. Tomar el autobús. Puede perderse fácilmente este lugar ya que actualmente hay vallas de construcción en la entrada. El restaurante está en el nivel inferior. Vine aquí para almorzar con mi familia. Está un poco lleno. Así que te sugiero que hagas una reserva si vienes en un grupo grande. El servicio era un poco lento. Probablemente porque es a la hora pico del almuerzo. La comida era lo más cerca de la comida de cocina casera. Sencillo pero sabroso. El tarik era excelente.

Berbagai menu masakan malaysia dan indonesia, terutama nasi goreng kampong nya yang joss, layanan staf ramah, harga sepadan.Lokasi yang mudah diakses

When abroad the craving for own traditional food haunts from time to time😁. Melur restaurant never fails in providing the taste of Malaysian cuisine especially the best "teh tarik". I love this place as a get-together with friends and family.

Tenía ganas de disfrutar de una buena comida malaya y estábamos alojados en un hotel a la vuelta de la esquina, así que conseguimos algo para llevar para la cena. Tal vez pedimos la comida equivocada y tal vez sus curry y roti podrían haber sido más auténticos y deliciosos.

Don't go there for luxury – but do go for the fine, honest, correctly typical food. Charming service and very tasty food.

Friendly waiters and the food is definitely cheap for London’s standard. The restaurant is located underground and about 20 minutes walk from Oxford Circus. Tried nasi kandar and the portion was generous. The vegetable felt a little old but overall still a decent restaurant

Basic decor but staff greeted us was pleasant smiles for did take a bit long to come and the starters arrived with the main meal so that was abit disappointing and they ran put of the Roti Chanai and it was only just after 7pm, however all the dishes was a very pleasant and arrived hot and we had a good even.

Really good food. You can bring your own wine, which makes the prices crazily cheap. Friendly service, wonderful food - what more can you ask for?

Amongst a bustling street lies a hidden doorway, a steep staircase into something below the belly of London.

Went into the restaurant for a quick lunchtime snack and wasn't disappointed!! Mr Awie (owner/chef) cooked me his personal recommendation and i'll be returning soon! Hidden Gem in the middle of Edgware Road

Absolutely love the roti canai and the beef rendang. Great little restaurant. Really enjoy the food here. Always a pleasure. Not the best decor but I can forgive that!

This must be the only one serving Malaysian cuisines around here - with good varieties too. Must try the Bandung and Cendol

I have personal preference for the above menu as it tastes similar back hom. Pure Malaysian and halal. Plenty of seats and free WiFi as well.

Melur is one of the best Malaysian restaurants in London.

Authentic Malay/Indonesian food. Not the best of places to be sitting down to a meal in but go for the authentic food.

Homely restaurant, tasty food and decent prices. Highly recommended if you are looking for an enjoyable meal.

10 colegas antiguo Melur decidió reunirse en un 175 en Edgware Road. Me llegó en el momento adecuado, pero otros habían comenzado antes que yo. Estuvo bien, ya que era un buffet. La comida era la típica comida tailandesa de pescado frito, pescado al curry king king recubiertos en semillas de chili, cordero, gambas, mejillones, y curiosamente el hígado wirh el marisco que me pareció muy raro. Un montón de arroz y también aperitivos y una mesa dulce saviory.

At last I found Malaysian and Indonesian restaurant. My favourite is Laksa soup but I was surprised it wasn’t good as Thai laksa soup. Nice staff so definitely I will go back.

Estoy muy decepcionado de este restaurante, he de aquí un par de veces a lo largo de los años. No me malinterpretéis, la comida es deliciosa! Pero cuando abrí mi char kway contenedor de comida para llevar y ver que teow un máximo de siete bocados allí quedé impresionado.

Serving good Malaysian food at reasonable prices. Location is strategic, however, it is located in the basement.

Dreadful service and painfully slow. Noodles with chicken arrived with no chicken! Prawns overcooked. Plenty of better restaurants nearby. Beware service charge for using card.

I have been to this Malaysian Restaurant several times in the past with Malaysian friends. Not having been there for more than a year or more, I was looking forward to a good tasty filling meal. Unfortunately when the orders came through, I thought they were small! My meal of spicy noodles, chicken and seafood (if I remember correctly) was not hot enough. It was not what I call spicy either. My friend's meal was also a complete let down. My reaction when the dishes were brought to the table ''they are so small'' and that is exactly what they were! Very disappointed as it was an awful evening and a good meal was what we wanted! We will not be going back. I believe the management has changed and so have the lovely dishes which were more than a child's portion in the past!

It’s a really good place to have Malaysian food. Prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

The location might not be that easy to find but overall I think the experience here is really good. Food is very tasty, despite my Soto Ayam was unseasoned but it wasnt a really big deal. Service is good as well.

The Nasi lemak took a long time to arrive. We Had to ask for tap water 5 times until we were served. When the nasi lemak finally came, two of my friends were disappointed to find raw chicken and had to return it.

Fuimos un grupo de 8, todos de los cuales había estado en Malasia varias veces, 3 habían nacido en, y creció en Malasia. Pedimos un plato diferente por persona y unos pocos más, por lo que podíamos compartir todos. Todo el mundo pensaba que la comida y el servicio eran excelentes, e hicimos planes para futuras visitas. El único problema era que el tamaño de las porciones de cada plato era adecuada para dos personas, así que en un plato de gambas o satay no había suficientes piezas para uno de todo por persona, así que tuvimos que subir para compartir. Deberíamos haber preguntado si podíamos pedir menos pero más grandes platos. No podía esperar para saber cómo nos camareros destinados a compartir (no muy inglés), así que era nuestra culpa por no establecer el tamaño de las porciones. Muy auténtico, excelente relación calidad-precio, sabores, calidad y relación calidad-precio. El propietario/gerente y los camareros eran amables, cooperativo, dispuesto a explicar y comparar determinados platos en el menú que era desconocido para nosotros, con otros platos sombrero sabíamos y no estaban en el menú, y hacer recomendaciones. Todos de acuerdo en que tenemos ganas de volver. . .

Had a fantastic lunch here. Very tasty, authentic, Malaysian food. Staff very friendly. Restaurant full of Malaysian families out for their family lunch - always a good sign. Tried a wide variety of dishes and all were excellent. Roti canai top notch.

久しぶりに品の良いマレーシア料理をいただきました。お店はアコースティックが良いのか、大声を出さなくても話せるし、隣の人の会話も聞こえず落ち着きました。あのロティキングのオーナーがここで食事をしていたらしいです。ロティチャナイ、ラクサ、ビーフレンダン、サンバルゴレンチャンプールを注文しました。ロティはカリカリで中は柔らかく、ロティキングより美味しかったかも。ラクサ、レンダンは軽めの味ですが上品で美味しく、サンバルチャンプールは最高！デザートにアイスカチャンをシェアーしました。久しぶりに満足なマレーシア料理でした。お酒はありませんが、モックカクテルのようなジュースがとても美味しく、２種類の違ったものを頼みました。サービスも良く、フレンドリーでまた行きたくなるお店です。

Had a very good meal at Melur this evening. The roti was fluffy and delicious, great seafood laksa, beef rending and aubergine with tofu, peanuts, anchovies and sambal sauce plus various accompaniments. We finished with an ice kacang to share and that was the perfect way to end. The non-alcoholic cocktails were also excellent, very refreshing and prettily presented.

Went here for lunch, expecting good food and service. Portions are small and food is not that great. The waiter charged us £2.80 for some extra chilli sauce and then added 10% service charge on the total bill !!!

Bra service och trevlig personal. Inte så god mat. Väldigt svartpepprig mat å lite torrt ris. Ingen superupplevelse. Men maten kom fort!

We wanted a quick limch before Xmas shopping and came to the right place. The restaurant was clean and service was quick and prompt. We had starter of roti canai which was fluffy and non oily, chicken satay - very authentic with yummy peanut sauce. Our main of char kway teow - fried noodle -was perfect.We could not resist having the desert of sago gula Melaka which was exactly what we wanted.We will come back again, tjis time to have the dishes as they look really good from next table.The price is very reasonable. This is a place where I would come if I want authentic malaysian food. Decor is basic and service is no fuss. I will come here again for a quick meal and go home feeling happy.

This is a basement unfussy Malaysian restaurant. It is definitely authentic - dishes like roti canai, petai...dont worry if you aren't familiar. Decor is basic. The food is good and it's inexpensive. At weekends they do specials like Penang Assam Laksa (really good). Another interesting dish is Sambal Kambing Goreng Fried lamb chops with green chillies . The staff are well-meaning rather than slick. It's definitely a family run place. It's easy to walk past as it's in a basement near the corner of Sussex Gardens & Edgware Rd. Go visit and support this place - its authentic cheap & cheerful.

It was one of those moments in time when during your holiday away from Malaysia you just had seek out some food from home. A review in The Guardian led us to Melur. This lovely restaurant is hidden away in a basement at the end of a row of Lebanese and Arab establishments. It’s a pleasant space I think recently redecorated. Nice welcome and good service throughout although the two three staff were rushed off their feet. We opted for roti and curry sauce. Two fluffy perfect rotisserie arrived with a pleasantly spicy sauce. The chicken curry was good but sauce could have been thicker. Prawn sambol and morning glory were very good. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for good Malaysian food.

My wife and I had a quick lunch here while were were in London. A favourite restaurant for Malaysians especially for Muslims. Food is good. Service is quick. Pricing is reasonable although serving is not really generous. Can"t find places as good as this easily in London. Will return for sure.

I was heartened to see the number of customers from SE Asia in the restaurant and it seemed popular with families.The food was OK but I've eaten at better Indonesian/Malaysian places in the UK.

Finding a good halal restaurant overseas is always a challenge. In London, Melur has become my favourite eatery place every time i visited London. Run by Malaysian muslim from Kedah if not mistaken. Its variety of delicious Malaysian spicy food makes you want to return to the same restaurant everyday . Obviously neat and clean. Friendly people and good price.

Stumble upon this place while walking towards Satay House. The owner, Pak Awie was very nice! His dishes were hot and spicy. Its delicious as well! Really recommend people coming here and will definitely return if I'm ever back in London

Beef curry we ordered was horrible. Watery and tasteless and it was not cheap. Did not enjoy our meal at all.

We shared our skewer starter opting for two each of chicken, beef & lamb that we both enjoyed, and then I ordered a rice dish with chicken & shrimp which I equally thought was delicious. We both ordered fruit juices that were natural and fresh, and were refreshing & nice. We both enjoyed our time, food and thought the service was excellent. Overall a very tasty affordable and pleasant experience, happy to return again.

Hungry Norwegian family of six found a perfect Malaysian restautant a short stroll from Paddington. Be sure to trust the owner to guide you through the menu and you will have splendid meal with a wide variety of tasteful and wonderful dishes. All very reasonable priced. We'll be back for sure :)

Come across to this restaurant by chance. Have not been eating any Malay dishes for the past 3 weeks and we missed home cooked dishes. I would say that the price is a little bit steep but when you are away travelling in London and miss home cooked food anyone wouldnt mind paying the extras.A rather small restaurant at a juction, you might not have noticed it. Tried these dishes;Nasi Goreng Nonya - A non spicy Chinese style fried rice. It's a huge serving but other than that I would say it is a bland dish.Tahu Telor - My personal favourite and the dish that save the day.Chicken Curry - Authentic malay flavour, a must try!Seafood Thai Tom Yam - Not bad.

Dying for a Malaysian we popped along to MELUR on the edgware road. After going down the stairs to the basement, we proceeded to order a meal for 4. We ordered the ginger chicken, (very poor quality frozen chicken breast). Chicken satay (chewy chicken thigh). Roti canai was next, nice gravy but frozen roti refried and very oily. We paid, and on the way out when asked "how was the meal" told the manager about our view on the chicken ( I'm in the catering trade by the way) she replied that the boss buy's the chicken.

We went on a quiet Saturday afternoon for lunch. Delicious fried rice, marinated chicken and fried tofu with bean sprouts and peanut sauce. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, so we could have a good conversation while having our food. Service was great. Plenty of options for vegetarians. I will be coming again.

Good service from the staff and i love the phad thai dish the best! just becareful not to add too much chillis into the noodles as it will get too spicy!

If this were a review for canteena, than it deserved a 4 star, But this a restaurant and it fell short on many fronts. For those who badly miss belacan and soy sauce, this restaurant was NOT short of. In fact there was an overwhelmirng dose of soy sauce in most dishes. The quality of ingredients need improvement. The Roasted lamb were low quality cuts, drenched in soy sauce and oil. The same with the baked mackerel. At Billingsgate Market fresh fish were aplenty and cheap, so margins could still be maintained. White rice at 2,50 pp per plate before tax was a killing. Do not make money from such basic stuff, that is a rip off. Make money from good food, from innovation, from creation.

We ordered the nasi lemak, mee goreng Mamak, char keow teow and beef rendang and steamed rice. They were all delicious!!! My son was particularly pleased with his beef rendang - it was just like at home. The seating was in a basement but had a nice ambience to it. The new owners who had just taken over the joint in August 2016 were particularly nice and welcoming.

Yummy yummy yummy....dont look at the price...because pound is so expensive...but the food is dying for. Even in malaysia cannot compared the food at Melur. Pak Awie is so friendly. His family also friendly. Had a nice chit chat with his grand daughter. My kids love the ayam percik. Big portion of coz. During our holiday last week, we stayed at Hilton London Metropole and it is only 3 minutes walk from our hotel. Definitely will be back.

The best place for me and my friends to cure our homesick. First, the location is the best where its only 10 mins walk from oxford street. Second, the food is the bomb if you are looking for spicy food. My favorite dish is "Ayam berlada hijau", "kangkung balacan", and "bedigil jagung". My favorite drinks is "ice bandong" or if you are looking for hot drinks you can try "hot teh tarik"And third, the place is very good for big groups of people where they also have a private room that can accomodate approximately 40-50people.Overall, Melur

Nous avons pris un plat au curry mais la qualité du plat laissait à désirer. C'est à se demander si les commentaires ne sont pas des faux commentaires. Si vous êtes touriste et que vous chercher un bon petit restau sur la route, je vous conseille d'éviter celui ci.

I went along to this event and experienced my first taste of Malaysian cuisine and I was truly blown away with the great food that was served all night. My taste buds were literally dancing around on my tongue with the spiciness and deliciousness of all the flavours from the amazing chicken, prawns, coconut rice, etc.After tasting the wonderful Malaysian cuisine I had I would definitely eat Malaysian food again and I would definitely visit this place again if in the area but its like a treasure trove as quite hidden inbetween the scaffolding that is up and hidden due to fact the restaurant is set downstairs but neverless people do know about it as went along on a Tuesday night with fellow Yelpers and it was packed full of locals. The new owners of the place and other staff are all very nice and very welcoming which made the whole night more of a very pleasurable one. I highly recommend to anyone to go and eat there to experience some the Malaysian food.

Best Malaysian and Asian food in London. Banyak menu pilihan yang menyelerakan. Tempat makanan yang luas. Anda boleh membawa famili yang ramai untuk menjamu di sini. Tempat khas disediakan yang boleh memuatkan 50 orang. Pemiliknya juga ramah dan bersahabat. Melur pilihan saya, dan anda patut menjamu di sini. Tak rugi. Saya jamin.

Under new management since Aug 2016, make no comparison to previous tenure or, for that matter, the competition. Coming from a person raised in Singapore, and having lived 8 years in Brunei, Borneo, I know my Malaysian cuisine, and it's pretenders, I consider myself, a very sad, but noteworthy, self confessed, compulsive Satay aficionado. I live on the coast in Portsmouth and travel anywhere for authentic Malaysian cuisine - anywhere, London is the nearest location. I have visited most of the listed and established 'reviewed' Satay restaurants in London and can say without fear of contradiction, almost all of the reviews are flawed at best and 'questionable' to say the least. The 'litmus' test, and you can do and confirm this for yourself, when next you pick up the phone of an 'alleged' Malaysian restaurant, is to ask the question "do you have beef satay on your menu?" the answer will be an assuredly and emphatic - 'no'! That's like walking into a traditional Fish & Chip shop and being told, "sorry, we don't do cod!" Why? Because, quite simply, to produce truly inspirational, succulent, tender, mouth watering beef satay of the Melur, and, of course, the consummate accompanying 'peanut sauce', you first of all have to know the FAMILY time honoured recipe and how to cook it to perfection on a char grill or in a clay oven - they obviously can't!!! I've tasted better shoe leather in Timpson's! The Melur produces their beef, lamb and chicken Satay as a signature dish, it is the closest experience to actually sitting in a restaurant in Malaysia. Your hosts, Ahmad and Jamilah, (may be known to you previously as Pak Awie) are exemplary in the genuine warmth of their culture that embraces you instantly. They don't so much have 'customers', they have friends, and long may they continue to do so. Inshallah.

If you like authentic Malaysian specialties, i recommend you to try this restaurant. Although the entrance is, for the moment, not very appealing (The new Malaysian owner is renovating) when you arrive in the restaurant downstair, you see a simple but relaxing decoration. The service is very friendly and efficient. The food is excellent and quickly served. The vegi were exceptionally fresh (Kang kong balacan). The prices are reasonable. As this restaurant is alcohol free, it is an excellent opportunity to try the local Malaysian drinks, try their teh tarik or their home made ice tea, you will not be desappointed. I will certainly come back. Well done to the new team.

For food, this is one of the best Asian restaurants in London; hands down. So many things to recommend - the chilli crab is a must. Lots of space and lots of tables so ideal for big groups. Very reasonable prices; and with no alcohol served on the menu I recommend the fruit cocktails

As an indonesian, I'd completely disagree with the other indonesian guy below. The food, while authentic, tastes like bad hawker food. If you want authentic but tasteless food, then for it. I'd never return.

Great food, service, relaxed atmosphere. Happy to find such authentic Indonesian and Malaysian food. The owner is from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This place does very nice food. You might call anything, be sure they will do it well and do it right. Though there is a dish which is lamb curry (query with them) which is awesome.

As Indonesian, I was so happy to find this restaurant, as it meant we could have normal steam rice.we had roast duck, rendang beef and vegetable. All are very nice and fast in service.However, I must say the price is not that cheap comparing with the Lebanese food we used to have.

when we came it was already after lunch time, so there wasnt much crowd there, so service was good, the food was tasty, the satay was nicely marinated and the lamb belado was delicious

i like the dishes there, always come with nice thick sauces. chicken wings and fish curry are my favourite. a nice place for either one person or with friends.

Came here for dinner and staff were welcoming. The decor is basic but we came for the food. Perhaps we made the wrong choice in going for the set menu - £29.50 per head seemed very good for 7 dishes. The tong yam soup was good and the mixed platter reasonable. Then 4 dishes were presented with rice - apart from the garlic prawns, the others were quite ordinary (grilled chicken was dry, beef with peppers was chewy and the 'gado gado' was soggy and tasteless). All very disappointing but the waiter from Germany was attentive and lovely.

GOOD:Very patient and attentative service, lovely waiter (served initially by a new waiter who didnt have a clue)Very fast to bring food - within 5 mins of oredering, which is worrying / or good?Central locationWide menuBAD:Dont serve alcohol - some people were taking bottle out of their bags!The chicken wings were covered in cooking oil and smelt off - very bad.The meats - main dishes seemed cooked from frozen - Main dish was lukewarmlacking in authentic flavours and presentationService included

I came here because im craving for indonesian food so much.Im order one fried rice, one lamb soup and one traditional drink. Which is all so lovely and tasty

Sfeervol restaurant in een kelder langs Edgware Road. Vriendelijke bediening, heerlijke gerechten en voor een schappelijke prijs.

The food is great and there is a large vatiety of meals. Staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are fair for London. Many Indonesian people Come regularly to Melur that demonstrates The good quality of their food.

This restaurant is a hidden gem.The service and more importantly the food are excellent. One of the best restaurants in the country. 5/5.

I visited after a long working day and was looking forward to some flavoursome Malaysian food. It was a fail.The roti canai was very greasy and heavy, as was the curry gravy with a good layer of oil floating on the top. I took rendang beef with coconut rice as a main, the meat was well cook but there was no flavour to the sauce, eatable but that has nothing of Malaysian cuisine. I won't go back and not recommended.
