Warisan Cafe in City of London, Westminster

a small place in a basement in Paddington, good traditional Malaysian dishes, beware on the hot ones...fair prices and nice service.

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.

Top quality and prices, fantastic - friendly staff as well and generally cannot complain about anything

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!

Lovely traditional Malaysian food. Dessert delicious too! Thoroughly enjoyed - Great service..... Many thanks

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!

By the looks you would not think that the food is good- it was FANTASTIC!!! We ordered the sea bass soup spicy- yummy!

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.
