Pak Awie in City of London, Westminster

Loved the food and the service. It was my first time having malaysian food and i really enjoyed it. Loved the fried banana dessert was really yummy.

Good Malaysian food here, restaurant is nice and location is easy to find (Paddington Station area). My daughter's favourite restaurant when she was in London for a few months - the free wifi is a bonus for those who need it.

Yo organicé una amigo de Bulgaria que nunca había estado en Malasia pero insistió en Malasia probar comida. Él me trajo aquí y me tomó Johor Laksa (se originó de mi estado de Johor) y él tomó nasi goreng (arroz frito) y satay. Tengo que decir que estaba por encima de la media, pero todavía es bueno, entonces nada.

Este lugar es sin duda, mi lugar favorito malasio en el Reino Unido. Me encanta todo desde sus bebidas a los postres. Prefiero tener "la terik" (bebida) primero. Luego me pide un montón de platos deliciosos. La porción es bastante grande, así que es mejor que compartir en este restaurante. No es exactamente barato ya que siempre pedir mucho, pero no demasiado caro. El ambiente está muy bien. Muy recomendable. La comida deliciosa!

El menú parecía auténtico y el lugar parecía no nuch diferente de muchos lugares en Kuala Lumpur o Singapur. Aunque la comida estaba bien, no era realmente malaya. Sabía más occidentalizado tailandés de Malasia, o incluso Indonesia. Además de muy pocos de los platos tradicionales y populares Malasia - Chow Kuey Teow, Murtabak, hielo Kachang - están disponibles. Incluso algunos platos en el menú no estaban disponibles en la noche cenamos. Si eres nuevo en esta cocina, es un restaurante aceptable. Se disappiont a alguien que quiera saborear el auténtico. Además, puede ser caro para lo que ofrecen y el servicio lento.

Al estar a Malasia, estamos muy crítico cuando se trata de comida. La comida era muy típico de comida malaya como la que puedes encontrar en Kuala Lumpur.

Era muy agradable para venir aquí y conseguir un sabor de casa de estilo comida- a un precio muy razonable de buffet donde te dan 3 platos por £5.50 o 2 por £4.50 . La comida es muy auténtico y roti canai es delicioso. El servicio es muy amable, el único problema es la comida ordenados desde la cocina (por ejemplo, con el roti) es muy lenta. Pero si estás preparado para esperar ¡vale la pena!

Professional staff in hand to make your dining experience worthwhile. Food are authentic to my taste bud though the sambal belacan could be spicier (just a preferance). The owner was very friendly and had good conversation.

He estado aquí varias veces. La comida es bastante buena y a un precio razonable. También tienen un menú de almuerzo buffet, que es bastante barato. El único inconveniente es que está escondido en una calle tranquila, así que me costó un poco encontrarlo en la primera ocasión

Pak Awie, what happened to your portions?.. you should look at Satay House.. taste maybe ok for your restaurant, but value for money not so..

Cuisine surprenante et pleine de saveurs inconnues, portions abondantes, personnel adorable et ne poussant pas du tout à la consommation.Nous avons dépensé 35 livres à deux, ce qui ne me paraît pas cher du tout, contrairement à certains avis !Pas d'alcool, dommage, mais on peut apporter sa bouteille!

I went to Pak Awie a couple of times as I am proud of my Malaysian heritage and wanted to introduce friends to Malaysian food. The food was good, not astounding but what ticked me off was each time I went, the owner greeted and shook everyone's hands but mine. I don't know if this is because I am a Chinese, or a woman, or both but the discrimination was embarrassing and off putting. There are other Malaysian restaurants which as good and provide better service.

We went to Pak Awie for dinner as it was quite well rated here, being a malaysian I was keen to see how authentic the food was.We ordered nasi lemak which was really good -the sambal was very well-balanced. Also we had nasi goreng kampung which was nice. The squid panggang unfortunately came in large slabs and was overcooked and tasteless.They served pretty good air bandung as well.All in all pretty good for the main dishes. Would be happy to come back again!

Pak Awie was simply an awesome owner and old school person.His Malaysian food was great and mouth watering especial the oxtail, kangkong stirfiend with anchovies, tahu telor,fish belado and udang sambal. Pak Awie always serve with a smile and his signature sign off is "Ok Boss" each time. Make us feel welcome and at home. Will visit Pak Awie again next in London. Keep up the good work Pak Awie!

Place was packed, but Pak Awie and family made it clear that customers are first priority by making sure orders are placed and food arriving on time. Pak Awie himself would always make his rounds and acknowledge every one as "Yes boss!", "No worries Boss!" and commonly like "Ok boss!". His witty character and recommendation for dishes are very humble, and we would definitely come back. Please try the Ayam Lemak Chilli Api!5 mins walk from Paddington Underground Station.

A typical malaysian cuisine just behind Praed St in Paddington area. They served breakfast, lunch in buffet style and dinner.Dont come during peak period especially at dinner time cos they dont gave enough staff.The boss, his wife and 2 stuff to handle everythings.Have to wait bout 45 mins for my take away fried noodles.Food quality was ok if u craving for Asian HALAL food in london.Hope they can improve on the service in the future.

First time I have eaten Malaysian food. Very helpful staff who gave recommendations.Food was fantastic, good flavours and good portion size. Be aware the restaurant does not serve alcohol, but they have a really good range of soft drinks and teas.

A bit pricy but it's understandable cause this is a place where one go for a more sophisticated dining or to impress your friends. The food is great though.

Went to eat on a sunday night, the missus having found it on tastecard, and saw the place packed with malaysians so thought let's give it a go. Great food, home cooked taste, lovely decor and the owner, Ahmed, makes everyone feel welcome.

Been to many restaurants with the word Malaysian on the Menu. but all too often they fail to deliver on the taste and dishes on offer.Having travelled in Malaysia extensively, this restaurant superseded all my expectations, offering a great selection of the classics, and delivering with the authentic rich flavours , you come to love from this very special country.I had the wonderful Kangkung belacan; crisp, spiced water spinach amidst a backdrop of savoury shrimp past and chilli, udang assam petai; sweet , sour , tamarind prawns laced with the savoury petai bean. Nasi goreng kampung and Nasi lemak, both were rich and flavoursome cooked with the love of only someone who has lived and breathed Malaysian cuisine all their life .Service was fantastic, with the warm hearted Pak Awie and his wife onsite making you feel as though you are part of the family.Great food, Great Service, Fantastic cuisine, could not ask for more.

I went to the restaurant, wasn't attended. Went to one of the staff (not knowing that she was the owner)to ask for a menu, and all I get was rude replies. Honestly, being a Malaysian myself, I'm highly disappointed with their service. This is not what Malaysian hospitality all about. I hope they will improve in the near future.

Beautiful interior and cutlery. You may have lunch special choosing 3 from 10 pre-prepared dishes or set menu. The ala-carte menu is excellent for dinner, you have to order their "rendang", best in London. Dont forget the "satay" too. Just imaging you are eating in a Malay village where time is not important (service is slow). You may bring your own alcoholic drinks if you fancy a glass with your meal.

I went there with my 3 small kids for dinner as we were craving for Malaysian food for long time (currently living in Africa) and it happen to be nearest to our hotel.they greeted us when enter and ushered to the table. it's quite full I guess the hosted small occasion for their close friend. I don't know what went wrong but we waited for 1 1/2 hours just to get our food! we had no choice coz my kids very hungry and sleepy and outside was showering. my son's nasi goreng was nice and luckily in a generous portion thus I shared with him coz I didn't get my order until the end.

Visited during the month of Ramadan for the buffet starting at 9pm. The cost of the buffet was £20, which is ok, except that the buffet lasted only 1hr and much of the food was finished within 45mins. The food was not replenished and the waitress did not even allow a change of plate when it was filled with bones and shells, and insisted that we used the dirty plates. Food quality was average but poor value for money. Service attitude was also poor.

Most things on the menu are expensive, and the food is quite bland. Malaysian cuisine is known for its spice and vibrant flavours, and we were rather disappointed on this front. Restaurant ambience is nice though, and service is warm and pleasant.

We had the Satay, Daging Rendang, Kangkung Belacan and Ayam Percik Dara. The dishes were prepared very quickly and tasteful. Especially the Rendang, probable the best tasting Rendang you may find in London. The kangkung is also very tasteful. Very good and recommended

Was there with my friends for dinner. After 1hour the food finally served and it's cold. The lady which I think the owner is so rude! She so rude to all of us the way she talks. How can she treats her customers like that. Very very rude. Don't ever come to this place!

I usually go to satay house for malaysian food but this time I've decided to try pak awie for a change. I was truly impressed with their service and quality of Malaysian food. The food is authentic with a reasonable price tag. I would definitely recommend the 'laksa johor' and 'keropok lekor'. I'm looking forward to my next meal at this restaurant!

This restaurant produces authentic Malaysian food at a fair price. Service was a bit slow but I think this is due to the food being prepared properly. The sharing starter is good though next time I will have a portion of soft shell crab to myself! The beef rendang was as I remember it in Malaysia and the chicken curry have lovely delicate flavours. It is alcohol free and we did not think to ask if we could bring booze in. there are many fresh juices and an interesting jelly drink. The decor is interesting and the loos are clean with a shower hose. There is a blast of cold air whenever the door is opened so ask to be at far from the door. It is near enough Paddington station but just off the main roads, therefor quieter. There are a few parking meters just outside . There were about 10 other diners there on the Sunday early evening we were there - we were the only non Asians which to me is alway a good sign.http://www.pakawie.co.uk

My wife and I unusually were both in town on business and decided to eat close to Paddington unfortunately at 5.30 when the brilliant Satay house was closed so we thought we would try here.Perhaps 5.30 is not the best time to eat here, but service was lack luster and the food quite simply terrible we had the mixed starter which looked like and tasted like the left overs from lunch just reheated. The mains were not much better, overall try some of the Lebanese restaurants wish we had. At least they did not charge the ubiquitous 12.5% service charge. Left very disappointed as the menu looked really good.

Good quality, genuine Malay cooking, reasonable prices. Nice ambiance, friendly service, clean bathroom. Personalised plates and cutlery!!

Went to Pak Awie last week with 3 friends and we enjoyed very good Malaysian food. The mixed starter is a good idea to share and then I had a vegetarian Mee Goreng and shared 2 other vegetable dishes. It does not have a booze licence but there is a Tescos nearby and they are very happy to open bottles of beer or wine. The others said the Rendang was first class.

Came to Pak Awie's two night in a row. the first night, was with a group of 30 people and we have preordered the food in advance. nice ambience and it made us feel like home with home cooked meal. Pak Awie and team were we friendly and accommodating. Hence why we decided to come again the second night. Had to order take away for few people who decided to stay in the hotel and continue with their work. We let Pak Awie surprise us with his fried rice.

Early December two of us visited the Malaysian Restaurant Pak Awie in Paddington. We were taken very good care of by a friendly and hospitable staff. During our meal the owner himself turned up to make sure that we had a pleasent evening. The food was truly delicious and a very pleasent alternative to traditional Asian food. The menu had several tempting dishes. No doubt we will return on our next visit to London.

have all the neccesary malay cooking & drinks but a bit pricey. A bit hard to find & can do more promotion. Maybe can do lunch, dinner special promo package. Can have more tables & chairs, forgo the game congkak area.

Ordered a menu that was never served despite reminders to the waiter! Waited for 1 hr 15 mins for a chicken rice. They had a cheek to charged the cost which was removed eventually. Two dishes came - Nasi kampung was very nice; Satay was cold. Probably wrong time to order in winter!

Makanan adalah cita rasa asli malaysia, tempat cantik untuk bersantai bersama keluarga harga berpatutan.Kami pasti kembali.

Recommended by my close friend Gary, the Pak Awie was a wonderful experience. It lived up to the recommendation. There are a wide range of enticing dishes. It was difficult to decide. But I enjoyed the choice and would recommend it to anyone who wants to savour appealing Malaysian cuisine. I will return and hope to get served a little quicker.

We were 50 friends and relatives celebrating my brother and sister-in-law's silver wedding anniversary. Everyone of enjoyed their excellent food, service and price. Ambience is extremely pleasant. Food, of course, is not only authentic, but also very tasty. We must have ordered over half their menu and I can't emphasise enough how good every dish turned out to be. It was a buffet style as we were quite a few of us and the food kept coming out piping hot. It is a lovely, lovely place to visit whether you are alone with company.

About a week ago, we were having our first gathering to meet members of FB Group. There were about 30 of us plus children. It took an average 2 hours for our food to arrive on the table. I only ordered Mee Goreng and my hubby ordered Kway Teow Goreng. It took half an hour to have our teh tarik - just lukewarm teh tarik! It should have been hot. May be the staff have forgotten us! However, the ambience was good, but we would come back if they improve the service and the quality of food.For the staff, please smile, it cost nothing but returning customers.

Best malay cuisine in London to-date. Nice clean modern decor. Extremely slow service (may be due to the end of fasting month). Fairly large tasty portion of satay served with peanut sauce. Beef rendang and prawn sambal were authentic and delicious. Rice portions were extremely small though. Chef Alwie presence at the dining area added to the friendly and kampung like atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Great food and very nice ambience of the interior decor and very spacious. Recommended For Business diner/meeting.

The food at Pak Awie were pretty good and authentic when we were both there last weekend. However, it took us about half an hour to get our drinks and then another half an hour for food. So all in all, it was a two hour business easily... we went to the counter to pay for our bill as we were waiting for around 5-10 mins at our table then thought... we might as well pay for it at the counter so it will not be another 30 mins affair... You really got to be patient for your food but the waiter was pretty friendly and relaxed... so before you go, have something to eat and patience is what you need at this place. The female toilet was a bit dirty but the general condition of the place is really nice.

Came for dinner with a bunch of foodie 'hard to please' friends and all were easily pleased! Nice ambience, modern and neutral decor, nice songket print framed pictures on the walls, bespoke crockery and reasonable prices makes this a great and authentic Malaysian restaurant. Dishes ordered were satay (delicious and good starter, ketupat was hard though), sup ekor which was delicious and meaty, kari mee, nasi goreng kampung, and char kway teow. All had the thumbs up. Service was efficient and friendly, but could improve with electronic orders, and more attentive staff. We even met Pak Awie himself, the man with a perpetual smile.

Been here for the first time upon a suggestion from a friend. There's some hits and misses. I would say go for everything except the rice dishes....Price eise is very reasonable.

Malaysian cuisine has gained in popularity in London overs the years. However for us Malaysians it is almost impossible to find a restaurant that cooks food like we eat back home. This very new restaurant currently only opens for dinner buffet around 8.30pm because of Ramadan fasting month and it offers amazingly delicious Malaysian food. At £15 a head it is a steal. The owner Pak Awie is the most hospitable host. Alcohol is not sold here.
