Tukdin in City of London, Westminster

My 1st visit here during my 1st vacation in london. Recommended by one of the Malaysian we met during our holiday. Delicious food selection. Asian and Malaysian lovers should come here. Recommended. Lovely service by the staff. Have place for prayer. However I suggest you should book and reserve table earlier since this restaurant always full with customers and a little crowded. But worth the wait hehe.

Amazing food and very welcoming staff.

Superb Malaysian food, authentic and very tasty

Beautiful, authentic Malaysian food for affordable prices in central London with polite service and a very convenient prayer room!! Can't recommend this place enough 🤍

We were made to wait 35 mins for our food and were told it’s because of a large deliveroo order they were catering to. When the food did turn up, there was no sign of flavour or quality or freshness. Roti was clearly not fresh and SO oily, chicken in the chicken curry had no flavour, prawn curry was basically lemon curry. When we told the staff how we felt, we were told ‘it’s not our fault that we had a deliveroo order’. I literally cannot think of a single reason id recommend this place..

We had a very bad experience having dinner tonight. The restaurant was freezing cold. We had to ask them to turn on the heat. The table was dirty. We ordered bottled water and when we poured we found food stuck in the glass. They replaced the glass with no apologies or replacement of bottle water. The food was either salty or burnt.

Great food and outstanding service.

Great food. The chicken salted egg is a must try! Always come back for this. Went for Iftar and they also gave some dates and snacks too. Lovely!

Such an amazing place, every dish was amazing. 100% would come back!!

At last we found a restaurant that serves quality malaysian food. We had sup ekor that was so delicious i wanted to praise the cook personally. Unlike many malay sup ekors, this one wasn't too oily and only lightly salted, the flavours were perfectly balanced. A rarity. Pajeri nenas took me back home. The rendang daging however was a crime. It tasted like an instant dish made by mixing the beef with a pre-made rendang sauce. The meat wasn't tender and didn't fall apart when pressed, the flavour just didn't come through. Luckily this didn't ruin our experience. The waiter was very friendly.

Excellent service and great food! Also there is a muslim prayer room and toilet for customers only.

Halal Restaurant & Very tasty Malaysian Food & got a prayer room

Cosy restaurant with delicious food and generous portions. The staff responded very quickly to my reservation enquiry and took excellent care of us during our meal.

scrumptious food and kind staff.

Super delicious food thought the sitting area is quite tight. Check the empty plates we had then you know how tasty they are! Great service is another element making this place worth coming again.

Tukdin in London offers an authentic taste of Malaysian cuisine, staying true to traditional flavors that resonate with those familiar with the country’s culinary heritage. The menu features classic Malay dishes, prepared with care and attention to detail, delivering a dining experience that meets expectations. Beyond the food, customer service is commendable. The staff are attentive and welcoming, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. For those seeking genuine Malaysian flavors in London, Tukdin is a standout choice.

Service needs to be improved when all the food arrives but still don't have spoon and fork and all the food only tastes sweet and not spices at all

The service attitude is very rude. The waitress is bossy and even everything I do is legal and the waitress there tells the customers what to do. The experience is very bad.

Very nice restaurant. Music in the background made the experience nice. Friendly staff

delicious! ordered sweet malay tea, fried rice and nasi lemak. will defo come back ☺️

Hemos disfrutado de una deliciosa comida malasia aquí hoy. Impresionante laksa, hermoso curry de cordero (kurma kambing) y el mejor gado gado que he comido. Servicio sencillo y amable también.

Nice local restaurant near Paddington. Tasty food

The taste of chicken nasi lemak is very good!

Very authentic food - delicious!

My favourite Malaysian restaurant. The Megoreng specifically is my favourite!

A nice halal malaysian food! I’d recommend getting the mee goreng and chicken hainan.. the food was mostly on the expensive side. Worth a try!

I thought this is Malaysian Food? But the taste is so disgusting. We had Ayam Masak Merah, Ikan Berlado etc, all is out!

Delicious Malay food. Good serving portion. Staff were friendly and efficient. Restaurant was small and limited seating area. May have to wait if it's full. Overall, good value for money.

We revisited this restaurant hoping to savour homemade cooking as we did a couple of years ago, but all eight of us were terribly disappointed. The six dishes we had were bland. The service was slow. Imagine waiting for our rice when the dishes had been on the table for nearly ten minutes. Only after we reminded the waiter about the missing rice did the waiter rush to deliver. When we commented on the late service to the waitress, she blamed the kitchen with a sneer look to us.

For a Malaysian this place is a home away from home, satisfy your Malaysian food cravings here. It obviously isn’t 💯 % like in Malaysia but it’s close enough. We tried the satay goreng, ayam masak merah, grilled fish, oxtail soup and mixed veggies. I’d say the winner was the grilled fish. Would recommend this place any day of the week.

Always come here when in London to get my Malaysian food fix. The price is expected as it's London but still reasonable when compared to other London Restaurants.. further more it's Halal..so no worries in that department. This time I tried the Oxtail soup also the Chicken Sour Egg and the fried rice. As usual it doesn't disappoint my taste buds. Additional added bonus is that it has a praying room downstairs with ablution area. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed.

It was an arduous journey to get my hands on the Sup Ekor! Was traveling to London and on the night before my last full day in London, I stumbled on a video recommending Tukdin and found out they had Sup Ekor. I haven't had that in yeaaaaaars especially since I immigrated elsewhere 5 years ago. Alas, I had a full day trip to Bath booked with reserved seatings on train. I couldn't put that off. I finally figured that I would put an uber pickup for when I got back from Bath since it's so close to Paddington... but lo and behold, the train was delayed by close to one and a half hour! I thought the sup was a goner but Nurul from Tukdin emailed with me back and forth and they ended up waiting for me to pick up the order waaaaay after they've already closed. Needless to say, Sup Ekor Pedas lived up to my expectation and more. I could say that it might be better than what I had before in Malaysia. It made everything I had to go through worth it and truly, it warmed my belly and my soul. Google review wouldn't post my review properly but FYI, I rated 5 stars for food and service and atmosphere.

The food especially the fried chicken came across bland and plain and the oxtail was alright but portion sizes were definitely small for the price. The rice and sauce add ons were plain ripoffs £4.5 pound for plain rice and £2 for a petite plate of chilli sauce. I can’t speak for the curry dishes but for the Nasi Lemak which they claim to be a flagship dish, it was quite bland although better value than other dishes on the menu. Overall came in with high hopes but was a bit disappointed.

Really tasty Malaysian food - we ordered a selection of dishes to share. The sup ekor and mee goreng mamak were perhaps my favourites. Well priced too.

Delicious food. Authentic food. Good Service. Makan di sini lah....no need to fly back to Malaysia so far. Must visit in London. Sedap ! Bagus !

I visited with colleagues of mine (5 of us) for our monthly meet up; we had a great time and as I organised the dinner I was happy to hear they all loved the food. Been here 4 times previously, I came with my mum who’s hard to please when eating outside and she loved all the dishes. Their food is packed with good flavours and the waiters are always friendly and smiling. For food recommendations; Satay Goreng 10/10 (could eat the chicken by itself with the sauce soo good) Ayam Goreng Telur Masin 10/10 (my favourite) Sup Ekor Pedas 10/10 (spicy oxtail soup was so moreish, only choose the spicy one if you’re seasoned) I’d come back to this place when the occasion calls for it because this time round the prices have increased a lot.

I tried "Rice + Spicy Tail Soup + Teh Tarik". Seriously delicious.

The food was so delicious, I wanted to lick the plate clean, it was truly life changing, best Malaysian restaurant ever!! It’s even better than roti king. The staff were so polite, friendly and atmosphere was great.

My intention to try the Malaysian Normah’s close-by was scuppered. So, friends and I settled on Tukdin. Zero regrets. Tried the sea bass fish kuri along with the unmistakably exceptional Ruti canai and the creamiest fragrant coconut rice. I would recommend both with which to mop up your curry. Lemon grassy and gingery, the aromatic flavours will feel like a comforting and safe hug. My friend had the beef rendang and was a content soul. This is a hidden gem and I intend to return soon. Much attention paid to each dish, none of the sloppy half hearted effort. It’s classy and ticks all the boxes. One of the best evenings I’ve had in a while.

Definitely great for a hearty and authentic Malaysian meal. Prices have gone up slightly but worth it for the portion-size and freshly-prepared flavourful (all halal) food. Great drinks selection too. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant space was cosy with a relaxed local feel.

Simply amazing dishes. The egg yolk chicken was crispy and tastes wonderful. The ox tail from the soup was cooked perfectly. In summary this is the best restaurant in my month-long Europe trip.

Incredible experience in this restaurant. First time that I’ve tried malaysian food and it was simply exquisite especially the nasi lemak that was so tasty. I’ll come back for sure !

Family run resturant as far as I know,Testy foods, reasonable prices, reasonable portions, worth visiting, You may need to reserve a table over the weekend as can be very busy. pay and display parking close and free parking after 1830 in some areas around location.No changes on recent visit

Food is very flavorful! Laksa (mee kari) is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Beef rendang very much on point. Chicken satay is a bit too sweet for me personally but it is well made. Portions are a bit small though.

Hemos comido aquí muchas veces durante muchos años. Mi amigo que ahora está en casa realmente quería un KPG Nasi Goreng y disfruto de Mamak. Llamaron y ordenaron que yo cobrara. Llegué, la comida no estaba lista - esperé casi 15 minutos. El frente de la casa era pobre, esperaba que pagara antes de que llegara la comida. Cuando pregunté por qué la comida se retrasó (la comida malaya es una cocina rápida) finalmente dijo que 50 personas para prepararse. ¿Por qué no me lo dijo cuando llamé por teléfono? Quién sabe. Los clientes que ya estaban en el restaurante también estaban esperando... Por fin tengo nuestras comidas. En todos los años que he estado comiendo el Tukdin Mamak, siempre ha contenido gambas y buñuelos de langostinos - esto solo tenía enormes trozos de tofu. Pobre Tukdin.

10/10, definitely returning always

Tukdin was the culinary highlight of my recent trip to London. Malaysian laksa curry is a dish I seek out and theirs is Malaysian good, which is extremely difficult to find in many other cities, even Washington, DC, from my experience. The Laksa curry featured fresh and delicious seafood like large mussels, making it somewhat Malaysian and British fusion. Beef rendang is another favorite Malaysian dish, and I’d love to return someday to try Tukdin’s take. One thing to note is that the laksa curry is extremely spicy and during my lunchtime visit I didn’t see British diners. If you don’t enjoy very spicy food, let the staff know and they can probably direct you to a dish that suits your palate.

The ox soup was really good. The beef dish was not great. But, very nice place and was pretty full.

The food was decent, but I was surprised to find an obligatory tip/service charge added to the bill. It felt a bit off, especially since the service didn’t stand out. Not sure if I’d return.

I understand that Deliveroo is a service that generates a steady stream of income, I agree with that. Now, when I am told 5 star food, exotic tastes and homely feel, and am told step aside for a delivery app, and given gritty food and minimal flavour and told to wait and that it’s not our problem, then I am sorry but I have no reason to return.

Very good Malaysian food. Cordial service 🙂 Interesting flavors. Note for sensitive people, most of the food is spicy. 🌶️The restaurant is small and always full, you know why ☺️The soup is delicious!!!!

Shocking service, shocking food.

Ma's pho is delicious and slightly crispy. The service staff is great. Other meals are great. The soup is a little spicy. I believe it's because I'm not used to it.

tasty The soup is so spicy 🥵 Would you like the milk tea to be hot? Otherwise it will be very watery~

Such a find! Was in London for work, and ended up going back here two days in a row. Tiny cosy hole in the wall, with excellent food. I lived in Asia 8 years, travelled a lot in that period, and this was hands down the best Beef Rendang I’ve ever had 🙌 so delicious I did not take a picture, but the Mee Goreng Udang (pictured) I had the next day was also a total treat.

The food is awful and expensive.😨

Amazing food , flavour was out of this world , service was fantastic

The female waitress is very rude and ignorant.

All dishes were cold! Most dishes excepr the beef had hardly any taste Tables a bit too close to eachother for my liking Dont get the table directly next to the door, you will have a really bad experience, i felt sorry for the people sitting there. Service not great either, staff hardly spoke. Not even a hello. Very akward. Positives: ambiance simple, authentic and clean Portions quite big My friend took me here as he went to this restaurant last year and he even was dissapointed with this experience

We wanted to dine in. There were tables empty but they did not bother to give us the tables as the new waiter boys were not bothered to reassign the tables. Sad that good establishments lose their customers when employees dont want to take the extra mile to accomodate customers.

My bestfriend and her parents are from Malaysia, and they took me here for dinner. I can easily see why - the food is divine, very aromatic and tasty. It’s one of their regular spots when in London. Staff are super friendly, portions are hugeeeee!

the food were ok, but I had a disappointing experience regarding the service charge. I requested to have the 10% service charge removed, as it is optional according to UK law. One of the waiters insisted that it was compulsory, and it took quite a bit of effort, including showing her the government website, to have it removed. I believe customers should have the right to decide on service charges based on their experience, without feeling pressured. This incident left a negative impression, and I hope the restaurant can provide better training to their staff to avoid such misunderstandings in the future.

Went in as we wanted to eat halal Malay food. Was surprised that reviews said they were friendly cos it sure wasn't for our small family. Accidentally paid in Euros cos we were touring, and was told off, not very nicely, by the lady at the counter. Food wise, yes nice, but it's pricey as you could imagine, in London.

Amazing, authentic Malaysian food. It did surprise me given the touristy area but there are no bad choices on the menu here.

Nasi Goreng KPG and Char Kuey Teow with Teh Tarik at Tuk Din Tucked away in a cozy corner of London, Tuk Din offers a slice of Malaysia for those craving authentic flavors, especially for Malaysians living far from home. On my recent visit, my friends and I had the pleasure of indulging in their Nasi Goreng KPG and Char Kuey Teow, both generously served with fresh prawns, alongside a comforting cup of buttery Teh Tarik. The Nasi Goreng KPG was a true delight. Each grain of rice was perfectly fried, slightly crispy yet fluffy, and infused with the rich flavors of spices. The prawns, fresh and succulent, added a wonderful brininess to the dish. It was simply irresistible. Then came the Char Kuey Teow. The flat rice noodles were smoky from the perfect wok hei, stir-fried to just the right texture—soft yet with a bit of bite. Again, the prawns were the star, each one plump and tender, with the flavors of soy, chili, and garlic enveloping the dish. Every mouthful was a harmonious balance of sweet, savory, and a hint of spice. To complete the meal, the Teh Tarik was a showstopper in its own right. Creamy and smooth, the tea had just the right amount of froth, with a subtle buttery finish that left a lingering warmth. It was the perfect companion to the rich, savory dishes, adding a touch of sweetness to the meal. The ambience at Tuk Din is nothing short of homely. The intimate space, adorned with traditional Malaysian décor, makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a kampung kitchen. It’s the kind of place where Malaysians far from home can find solace in familiar flavors. The warmth doesn’t just come from the food, but also from the top-notch customer service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make sure each customer felt at home. For Malaysians abroad, Tuk Din isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a comforting reminder of home, a place where the taste of Malaysia is as warm and inviting as the service. Whether it’s the perfectly cooked nasi goreng or the smoky char kuey teow, this is a must-visit spot to indulge in delicious, authentic flavors while being embraced by the warmth of home. Well done Tuk Din

I had the beef curry with the coconut sauce, it was not good. The beef slices were chewy, hard to swallow, and the other ingredients couldn’t be eaten either. I had stomach pains afterwards and difficulty to digest.

Bonito, genuino restaurante familiar lleno de gente oriental claramente allí por la integridad de la comida ofrecida. Servicio amable y rápido sin ceremonia. Bonito ambiente ocupado a principios de la noche a mitad de semana con regulares yendo y viniendo. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra comida después de haber comido antes de tomar un tren a casa desde Paddington. Mucho mejor que la comida industrial de restaurantes de cadena o pubs de la zona.

Food was tasty, it was served quickly and staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend.

Portion size is generous for stir fry options. The nasi goreng kampung is abit inconsistent sometimes but generally good, fry noodles is delicious too. However the portion size is relatively small and expensive for dishes such as petai or soups.

Small, popular family owned restaurant, serving authentic Indonesian food. Really delicious, freshly made, served with a smile. Chilled ambience although usually full. Went there several times with friends & the food was consistently good. Tasty medium to spicy curries & lovely rice dishes. Serves halal meat as well.

Bolehlaa I tried nasi lemak and roti canai Nasi lemak got chicken. It was crunchy the batter tasted good 👍🏻. Sambal banyak ikan bilis, not so spicy I would rate 7.5/10 Roti canai, the dhall was nice but looks like instant, not sure *(might be wrong) 7/10 Also i takeaway a few things, it was nicely sealed. But they put the register mee kari as laksa kari, which I find confusing. They only told me that it js the same thing after I asked. Macam gharar tapi okay je. The place might not be suitable if you walk in with a big gatherings. Sekian

First time in England, and first time eating in a Malaysian restaurant, I don't regret it. I recommend. I had rice with lamb. Gorgeous

Nice local place very close to Paddington station. The food we tried was very good, good flavours and substantial portions. Some of the supposedly spicy dishes could have been spicier, but presumably, they are catering to local tastes. Service was reactive and friendly but seemingly confused. We were given a different dish from what we ordered, a mistake which they corrected after we flagged it to them. The same thing happened to the table next to us. We also ordered drinks which never arrived. We didn't ask for them as we were ok not to have them, but the drinks were still charged in the bill. Overall, we left sated and happy with what we ate. Some more attention to the service would really elevate this place.

Unfortunately didn’t like my plate I ordered the slow cooked beef , was quite sweet for my taste Ali’s tried the lychee drink - was not nice at all as if you immerse lychee in water and drink its water Also didn’t like the service charge

Tukdin is a lovely, traditional-looking Malaysian restaurant 👍, conveniently located quite close to Paddington Station 🚂. I went for lunch 🍽️ and enjoyed a very delicious and flavourful chicken Kari Ayam with aromatic coconut rice Nasi Lemak Kosong, and for good measure a crispy Roti Canai too 🥳. All washed down with a refreshing iced tea Teh Ais with milk 🧋, as it was one of the hottest days in London ever, possibly ☀️. Looking at the dessert choices, I wasn’t sure at first whether to get a dessert or not 🤔. But when I then read the little review 📝 on the dessert menu about the Sagu Gula Melaka, I couldn’t resist - and I really enjoyed it 😁. Tukdin is definitely a place I’d happily go for lunch or dinner again!

Taste wise the dishes were not as taste worthy as before. It all seemed to be thrown together in a generic way. Service was very slow if you're in a large group (10). The satay chicken was too sweet. Generous portions though. The staff could have advised as to the quantity to order but they didn't have time to pay attention as it was a busy weekday night.

Absolutely delicious food and lovely staff. Highly recommend the curry mee.

This place deserve 5 star! All of the food are amazing! As an Indonesian who lives in London, this is probably the best Malaysian food I have ever had in my entire life!

The food is very delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are average, but the place is small

We keen on trying Malaysian food, however our experience was not too nice. They mix up our order: we order Mee Goreng Mamak (noddels with prawns) however we received a tofu staff which were okeis. We didn't make a big deal about it, only when we have to pay mentioned it. The lady manager came to shout us that we order other things. Well, the bill and the pictures speaks by themselves. We pay the food that we didn't order, and we won't return. And we have to pay the 10% for service.

Tasty food and good portion sizes - was too much for me to finish so if you eat small you could share! Sweet and friendly family staff. Fully halal 😍

Great service and best authentic Malay Malaysian food!!! Amazing and consistent quality

The taste is good but they need much time to serve the food.

Good food selection, taste is adequate but the price is just too expensive.

Tasty and authentic Malaysian food! Will definitely be back!

Great first experience of Malaysian food, my kids loved too, and very friendly waitress thank you

The food was authentic but the service was very unorganized. It took almost 40 minutes to get my Nasi Lamak which was the only dish I ordered. It turned out they forgot to put my order in the system. Also, after they realized what happened they didn't even bother to explain or at least say sorry. Wouldn't come to this place risking wasting my time again.

Comfortable and the food is delicious

Very tasty! ! ! The boss is also great!

Fantastic traditional Malaysian food, you won't go wrong eating here

The food was absolutely delicious

Got takeaway Nasi Lemak and Mee Mamak. Very impressed. Quality and authentic flavours are all there. Good portion size. Very friendly staff. Toilets could be better though. All in all highly recommended

Tukdin brings a slice of Malaysian culinary tradition to London with an array of authentic dishes that transport you to the coastal villages and bustling markets of Malaysia. During my visit, I sampled the Keropok Lekor and Nasi Goreng Kampung, both of which showcased the rich flavours and distinctive character of Malaysian cuisine. **Keropok Lekor (£9.90)** These traditional fish snacks were a delightful start to the meal. Originating from the coastal villages of Malaysia, the Keropok Lekor had a firm yet tender texture, bursting with the savoury taste of fish. They were served with a sweet and spicy chilli sauce, which complemented the snack perfectly, adding a kick without overwhelming the palate. At £9.90, the portion was generous and well worth the price, providing an authentic taste of Malaysian street food. **Nasi Goreng Kampung (£14.90)** The Nasi Goreng Kampung was a standout dish, epitomising the essence of Malaysian village-style cuisine. This very spicy fried rice was uniquely characterised by its dark brown, caramelised rice, which had a deep, smoky flavour. The spiciness was intense yet balanced, appealing to those who enjoy a bit of heat in their meals. The dish was enriched with eggs, adding richness and texture. Priced at £14.90, it was a hearty and satisfying main course that left a lasting impression. **Overall Experience** Tukdin successfully captures the spirit of Malaysian home cooking, with each dish reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region. The flavours were bold and authentic, and the presentation was inviting. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the dining experience. Whether you’re familiar with Malaysian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Tukdin offers a genuine and delightful taste journey that’s well worth exploring

Ein wirklich hervorragendes Essen für Vegetarier sehr gut geeignet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit bei der Auswahl des Menüs da wir auch kein Fisch essen. Auf jeden Fall komme ich gerne wieder hierher.

The Best Malaysian I've been to thus far!

This is a nice local place with good food. We had a Laksa and a Char Kway Teow, both of which were very good, with my preference leaning towards the Char Kway Teow. The Satay chicken was a starter and you can see how much we got. The portion sizes are quite substantial so you'll get a lot for your money! The iced milk tea was fantastic too. The service was good.

Comida inusual. Buen servicio. Pequeño comedor eco. Comida Halal. Sin alcohol pero un buen refresco sabroso. Puedes tomar café en la cafetería de al lado. Inodoro por escaleras empinadas, como otros lugares en esta área. Fácil de encontrar. Camine en línea recta por la carretera principal desde la estación de Paddington

Truly Malaysian foods. Portion was big. Service was superb. Very satisfied.

Nice Malaysian food! Very tasty and can be customised for vegetarians!

Great food, great hospitality 😍
