Harden's survey result
Summary
“Huge queues are par for the course but worth it in spades”, when visiting this “sensational” basement – “a great, basic pit stop” on “a dodgy street near Euston station” where you “pack in tight” for the “amazing, fresh and feather-light rotis”, “excellent laksa” and other “stalwart Malaysian dishes”. “For a satisfying, cheap meal” many would say this is “the best value in town”. There’s also now a larger spin-off in the Battersea Power Station development – “it’s good, but the original is still the favourite”.
Summary
“The best authentic roti in town” – and fans think “the best Malaysian food in Britain” – means you usually have to queue for a perch at this packed and extraordinarily good-value basement near Euston station. “You won’t regret it”: the roti canai, flatbread served with curry, is “beyond belief” and well worth the discomfort. For the less intrepid, “sister locations Gopal’s Corner in Market Halls Victoria and Market Halls West End are just as good”.
Summary
“Worth the queue and the terrible decor” – this “crowded” basement dive near Euston has been around in various locations for yonks, but, with the rise of street food as a genre, has become more ‘discovered’ in recent times. “Exciting roti” (“with mutton curry, is ridiculously good”) that are “cheap and authentically delicious” are the pay-off for braving its decidedly “down-to-earth” quarters.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Worth joining the inevitable queue for this small Malaysian street food cafe. The fluffy roti canai is amazing. You watch chef swirling and stretching paper thin dough. This simple place is unashamedly about authentic Malaysian street food."
