Tukdin in City of London, Westminster

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.

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..

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!!!!

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.

Shocking service, shocking food.

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

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.

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.

Nice, genuine family restaurant full of oriental people clearly there for the integrity of the food offered. Friendly prompt service without ceremony. Nice busy atmosphere early evening midweek with regulars coming and going. We both enjoyed our food very much having eaten before taking a train home from Paddington. So much better than industrial food from chain restaurants or pubs in the area.

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

For a Malaysian this place is a home away from home, get hold of 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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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 😍

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

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

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.

Unusual food. Pleasant service. Small echoing dining room. Halal food. No alcohol but a good flavourful soft drink. You can have coffee at the cafe next door. Toilet down steep stairs, like other places in this area. Easy to find. Walk in a straight line along the main road from Paddington station

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 😍

They warned me it would be a bit of a wait, ended up taking half an hour for the food to come. My dish was very tasty though!

Lunch in this restaurant on the 1/5/2024-Wednesday.There were so many dishes I like so much that I ordered so many varieties of dishes. The curry fish, oxtail soup, beef rendang were superb plus many other dishes too. Super satisfied. The servers were very pleasant and thanks to Nurul & Nabila for the polite, pleasant service. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Malaysian food I’ve eaten in the UK! great option near Paddington and away from the chains and overpriced alternatives

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.

The chicken in the curry was so tough. The nasi lamak was fine.

Die hausgemachten vegetarischen Frühlingsrollen als Starter waren fantastisch. Wir hatten das milde Lammcurry, das Garlic fried Chicken, das Chicken in mild creamy Currysauce sowie Chicken cooked in spicy tomato sauce. Alles war gut und die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Empfehlen das Tukdin gerne weiter!

My favourite Malaysian restaurant in London. The salted egg chicken is a standout dish but absolutely everything I’ve tried was exceptional. I selfishly wish they offered home delivery to more areas!

I remember popping over after a little trip away, so was keen on some authentic Malay food. Now bearing in mind, I’ve been there and know what the cuisine should taste like and is capable of delivering. The place had a funky smell to it and the food was quite disappointed - lacked flavours and freshness, and the icing of pain was that it was super pricey for the portions/quality provided. It was microscopic for my appetite. The staff were kind and friendly, but it’s really not an appealing spot that is inviting or has a welcoming feel. As for the food itself, I’ve made better at home. 4/10.

While the vegetarian options are limited (literally only 2-3 dishes) the ones available are absolutely delicious

I was staying overnight nearby and walked in. Tukdin is super casual and had a great atmosphere, quite different from Satay House which I’ve also tried. I ordered Nasi lemak tukdin which was on the table after 10 mins and was fantastic. I’ll be back next time I’m in London!

It's a very delicious restaurant. Please stop by when you come to London!

The food was so so delicious, it was actually amazing. The sort of thing where within each bite you realise how good it is. Craved it the moment I left

Tasty food, spicy but not too spicy. Excellent balance

If you are looking for a unique restaurant near Paddington Station, I recommend this Malaysian restaurant. Even on a weekday, the station was crowded and the food was very delicious.

taste fine with reasonable price.

Excellent, the staff are very friendly, attentive and the food is just excellent

Service and food was very good. The mee goreng is deffo something you need to order as it tastes very authentic.

Discovery of Malaysian cuisine, it was simply excellent! Depending on your current appetite, take into account that the proportions are rather very generous.

Very good, authentic flavours. Great place that has not adjusted tastes to the European taste buds. Just like what I had in Malaysia. Great little place.

Authentic Malaysian food conveniently located near Paddington Station. Sedap!

Good food, we had eggplant and beef, really matched with coconut rice. I would like to visit again or order delivery later and try different dishes.

Came on Saturday, 10/2, place was full and no table available. Made an inquiry but was not responded nicely. Basically can't rate anything other than unpolite response from the staff.

Delicious dishes full of flavors! All the staff are super nice!

Good food. You do have to wait and try call the waiter to order ot pay. Possible more than once before they actually come. Not because they don't care. It's because they are that busy. (Not that it's a problem when you are there with friends and not in a hurry)

Everything was super delicious, all the staff were very friendly, although it was a little spicy for me but delicious 😋

Slightly above average food, £4 for a coke, £4 for chilli sauce. Food decent but just not good value for money.

Love the roti and fried chicken in nasi lemak

The foods is "sedap". Thank you chef fauzi. The satay goreng and kuah kacang is purrfect 👍

Had a really lovely dinner at Tukdin for my graduation celebration on Monday. Both the service and food were amazing. The nasi lemak Tukdin and mee goreng mamak especially reminded me of home (Malaysia). Can’t wait to come back again.

I don’t even have words for how incredible the food was here. We got the mild lamb curry, coconut rice, and roti. I wanted to order the whole menu after I took my last bite. Wow. I would highly recommend this place. ETA: still dreaming about this place

Plats délicieux à découvrir les yeux fermés! Bravo

Both melas were very delicious and customer service was outstanding. Definitely worth a visit ! Kari Laksa was creamy, full of flavour with a nice touch of chilli

Its been over a decade since i last ate here. I feel that the food quality is about the same; its good for something away from the flagpole but nothing to write home about. They dont skimp on the flavors, but portions could be better/improved for what you pay for. There was very little meat in the daging salai masak lemak but lots of bamboo shoots. Seating is very tight. You get bumped every single time the server or guest walks behind your chair if you are seated in the aisle when there are a lot of patrons. It gets very annoying quickly. There was a guest that sat at our table when one of us vacated the seat to go to the bathroom because i guess they wanted our table and was pressuring us to leave. It may have seen like we were done eating or something, but not all of our dishes had even arrived. We were still waiting on the desserts. The servers looked like they did not care and we had to tell her off. Food took a while to get out and they came out sporadically. Drinks came out quick though. Overall, a good place to get a taste of malaysian food while in london but the dining experience is lacking.

The food is authentic Malaysian. The curry that comes with Roti canai is not good, but Mee Goreng is good. Slightly more expensive than other Malaysian restaurants.

الاكل جدا جميل وتعامل المطعم حلو انصح العرب في تجربه صراحه 👍👍👍

Expensive food £15 for a nasilemak! It’s just rice and fried chicken!!! How is that worth £15??? Everything else is just expensive too and small portions.

We ordered Roti Canai Dhal, which is the parota served with chickpeas and dhal. Here they served only dhal and chili paste and the dhal didn’t go well with paratas. We also ordered Nasi goreng hailam, which is the fried rice with shrimp and fish cake but it was simply looking and tasting like an egg fried rice. The quantity of the meat didn’t match with the price. They should make it more authentic and tasty.

Food is nice. I ordered Nasi Lemak and Ais Tea (it's like Lipton Milk Tea).

Superb authentic malaysian food near to Paddington station. Cant wait to be back!

The best sambal had to ask for extra

I came here today and jt was soo delicious. Staff are super friendly and restaurant is clean. I look forward to coming back to try other dishes on the menu.

Top notch dishes. Tasty and delicious. Service a bit slow but bearable.

Not a place for vegetarians! Only 3 vegetarian options - spring rolls, aubergine and pineapple curry. The aubergine was floating in oil whilst the pineapple was not great. Spring rolls were not great either!

I don't usually write reviews but this place was so lovely I had to !! I got the chicken curry with rice and it was amazing, would definitely recommend giving this place a try and for sure be coming back. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and greeting everyone with a smile (and a Salaam if they saw you were visibly muslim). If I wasn't going back for the food I'd defo be going back for them :)) The place itself is also very muslim friendly. There's a prayer room downstairs (only big enough for one person at a time, and also has a wudhu basin inside too), they don't serve alcohol at all, and the entire menu is halal, with a couple of vegetarian options. The actual dining area is quite small but it does feel really intimate and homey, it wasn't busy when we went (just before 1pm) and it was a really nice vibe/environment. It's a little pricey but that's to be expected in London. It's definitely cheaper and far more authentic than the other Malaysian restaurant down the road though. You know Tukdin is good when Malaysian people choose to regularly dine there and enjoy the food a lot. - Fried Garlic Chicken - so so crispy and full of flavour, was a little tough though but that could just be because I ate it after it sat on the table for a while - 6.5/10 - Chicken Curry with Rice - literal perfection, the curry was so creamy, with the perfect level of spice and the portions were so big. they definitely weren't stingy with the chicken as well as there was so many pieces - 10/10

Yummy food, friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Halal menu and they didn’t serve alcohol which was a plus for us Muslims. We went a group and there were plenty menu options to choose from.

Malaysian restaurant at Paddington.I ordered nasi goreng and nasi lemak with fried chicken.The food is tasty.Maybe next time can try another dish.
