Wow this cafe is a little gem and straightaway impressed me. Situated stones throw to Paddington Station it is a very Cosy and basement located. Small establishment yet great location and food. My items Roti canai and vermicelli soup noodles arrived promptly after 10 mins of ordering piping hot. Soup was fantastic and the roti canai stood out. Flaky Roti canai with yummy chicken curry and that hot soup broth in the cold weather was a great feeling and satisfaction. Price £11 for two items which is dead cheap for the quality, quantity and location. I’ll certainly try seabass next time as they ran out the entire seafood for the day and its only 6 pm. Must visit and my rating is 4.5/5.

It’s the best! I’m so lucky that I live around this place. Small cute family run restaurant that serve super delicious Malaysian home cook. So hearty and yum! Love the lady there so sweet. And the price is just unbelievably reasonable I almost feel bad to pay so little for this amazing food!

Excellent food & service with reasonable price! I ordered Soto Ayam with Teh Tarik. Was pleasantly surprised crackers provided for free. Soto Ayam with the cili kicap was awesome and their Teh Tarik is the best I ever tasted in my life! The whole meal cost only £10!

Dieses "Café"/ Restaurant liegt ganz nah am Bahnhof Paddington, in Richtung Hyde Park im Souterrain an einer Ecke. Der Raum selbst ist einfach nur ein nackter Raum mit einfachen Tischen und Stühlen. Keinerlei charmante Dekoration oder ähnliches. Die Speisekarte ist ein etwas abgegrabbeltes, in Plastik eingeschweisstes Papierblatt auf dem Bilder einiger Speisen abgebildet sind. Die Auswahl ist beschränkt, aber dennoch sehr gut. Einige Auswahl für Vegetarier. Service war flink, sehr freundlich und flexibel. Das Essen war klasse, lecker gewürzt (Achtung teilweise etwas schärfer als der Durchschnittsgeschmack, aber ich liebe das!) und eine mittelgroße Portion, die locker satt macht. Alles zu einem sehr anständigen Preis, besonders, wenn man diese Lage in Betracht zieht. Fazit: Wer keinen großen Wert auf bahnbrechende Innenarchitektur legt, aber authentische Küche zu fairen Preisen mit lokalem Service sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Ich fand es absolut klasse!

Basic restaurant but good food and reasonable prices. Not licensed but interesting drinks and you can BYOB. Decent meal. Roti canai lovely - lovely soft and fresh roti. Delicious sauce - but why add chicken to it? Yellow curry was very good. Sea bass in lime and chilli was a little anodyne. Fish nicely cooked - sauce a little bland. Definitely worth a try for good quality authentic Malay food which is good value.

What a surprise! from the outside it’s unnoticeable but worth the walk downstairs into basement. Delicious, hot & spicy, big portion at reasonable price. Excellent food in cold weather! :) Highly recommended!

Fantastic sea bass in green chili sauce. Coconut rice was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfectly fried for deliciousness.

Excellent and yummy foods served by the restaurants. Lot of varieties to choose from. Friendly staffs. For my 08 days stayed in London, everyday I went to Warisan for lunch or dinner and everytime the restaurants full almost full.

Small menu with enough variety for everyone; vegetarian,chicken, pork, sea bass dishes. Small establishment in the basement of the address - not difficult to find. Small establishment that seats maybe 30 people maximum - so you may have to wait. I read the reviews on slow service, but keep in mind that the kitchen is probably very small and the establishment seems to be family owned and operated - our waiter was a younger gentleman. So go in without being in a hurry, relax, and spend some time with those that joined you in the meal. With that said the rice was very good, as was the chicken curry and the curry puffs. Would go again except heading out of town. But three of us ate for under 30 pounds.

Food was fine, good quality, home style Asian cooking but the service was poor with the single waitress inattentive, disinterested and not busy. The atmosphere would have been considerably better with better front of house service. Would not recommend.

We visit this place almost most weeks and the service has been fine. But yesterday it was extremely disappointing. We had ordered mee goreng and roti chanai. The mee goreng came by 20 mins. But even after nearly 50minutes no sign of the roti chanai. Everyone else who has come after us got their food. We kept asking the waitress and she kept saying it was coming. In the we cancel the roti chanai. The waitress was not apologetic at all. I wouldn't go there for now. It was a bitter experience.

It's an establishment that has lost its tradition. The crab Linguine was drenched in heavy cream, garlicky and nothing refreshing. The Pappardelle lamb ragu was gamey and fully coated with oil. I am glad the ricotta ball saved the meal because the focaccia was cold and soggy. This is probably an unusual experience.

I paid £11 for king prawn FRIED rice, but I received plain BOILED rice with prawns. The rice was very bland and fluffy. I contacted the restaurant and they agreed to send a replacement. However the rice was not much better. Very disappointing to spend £11 on fluffy rice I could've cooked at home. Avoid if you want tasty, authentic Chinese fried rice.

Excellent food, EXCELLENT service! Very attentive to the customers needs! Unfortunately, they do not serve egg drop soup (which is why I dropped in) but… the food was delicious and I left with my belly full!

OK. Here we go......I bit my tongue on this one in the restaurant, as I hate to be the party pooper shaming my friends nearly 300 a head lunch. Food was well prepared, tasty, but was simply not generous enough. It felt like a light lunch despite going for the main event (and being TOLD we were having the wine flight), and although precise cookery, nothing really stood out. Mainly due to the lack of portion generosity (yes yes, I know it's Dim sum). The food came in fits and starts and we were never really party to the dishes' philosophies, inspirations or any technical explanations, other than the basic X with Y and Z and a few buzzy words you'd expect to hear in a high-end Asian eatery in London. Really quite poor service and atmosphere for this level of accolade, even if most of the service team themselves were lovely. Initially enthralling bustle of the many staff and humdrum of the kitchen (adjacent to our table) in reality made it hard to comprehend even the basic spiel of the offerings. I've done a fair few top end restaurants of late and this was scraping 1* in my view. Due mainly to the lack of pomp and ceremony amid the quite frankly average service, poor atmospherics, and lack of context (I appreciate these aren't the strict criteria). My main issues were the lack of transparency in pricing and the uninspiring wine program. Yes, we were given Dom Perignon 2013, as well as the more budget end of Schloss Johannisberg's riesling spectrum, but the wines to follow were easy to source from UK retailers, and simply mid-range gumph. We were not once offered any insight into their origins, and the rationale for how they were paired (with, admittedly, some complex less wine-friendly flavours). I'd have expected some more umami focused wines, and why feel the need to serve a red at all? The Sauternes with dessert was pleasant but it was young and easily sourced (from Majestic) for 15 a half bottle. Not exactly special or interesting. I'd have expected them to be serving something with some age, oxidation or distinct character if I'm honest, rather than the namesake 'badge of honour'. A couple of major hiccups that left us sour, a bit salty, and certainly not sweet.... 1) Asked if we fancied some Champagne before we kicked off....... it was tempting by the range on show, but luckily my friend queried the prices up front and we were simply told it's 37 per glass (I believe in reference to the Ruinart Rose. Woof). We quickly asked for alternative aperitifs and were presented with a cocktail menu at a shade less ridiculous prices. Of course, monsieur sommelier was not forthcoming with this and wanted to flog the pricey stuff. What a terrible way to build rapport with your customers at the outset. 2) The lack of pricing transparency continued to the conclusion, where we were offered a choice of 2 coffees. Little to our knowledge they were not included, and were priced eyewateringly at a respective 9.5 and 15 pound. Shameless. To boot, there was zero effort from anyone in the kitchen, or the latterly present main man, to greet or acknowledge us, and we never received the promised menus. I've corroborated my views with others' who have visited on recent occasions. The petit fours were delicious, but the plum shot will unfortunately last as a sour taint for much much longer than intended. No doubt chef and team have worked their woks off to get where they are, but I personally wouldn't venture back or recommend - maybe the 2* is a great ticket to 'single visit/ international churn', but in terms of sustaining a business and maintaining an enduring reputation, I doubt it's a very good strategy. Apologies if you're reading this and are past the pay wall of no return on your booking. My advice would be.....if you care about value for money or your wallet's contents, keep a keen eye on that pesky cheque, and certainly get your coffee round the corner.
