Having visited Olives on several occasions before when catching up with friends who live in the Gloucester Road area, I was delighted when an event took me to that side of town again! The food was delicious - crispy calamari, one of my favourite lasagnes/lasagnas (I take lasagne/lasagna seriously, and a magical creme brûlée - lavender and white chocolate, a winning combination. The service was friendly & polished, and the prices while fairly high, were nothing out of the ordinary for this part of town. I will be returning! Ps lots of great wines on offer too - I loved the chianti!
White table cloth setting.
Slow service but not bad.
Outstanding food!!! Singaporean cuisine!
Legendary - as good as it gets
• The Laksa. Wish there was more broth. It was oh so good.
Loved - must order again!
• Nasi Goreng ***
• The chili oil ****
Liked - could do again
• Dim sum platter
• Malaysian chicken curry - chicken was a bit tough and curry was thick and gelatinous

The Bugis offers a fusion of Singaporean, Malaysian and Chinese cuisine on the ground floor of the Baileys Hotel in South Kensington.

We really did enjoy the food, all the flavours were great but I have to say it is a bit overpriced in my opinion and I'm not sure I'd pay that much. But if you are fine with the prices it definitely hits the spot and portions are decent too.

a definite increase in standard from the previous Bugis which has moved to the Copthrone Tara. i would say a slight over pricy for the meal though very well done but I can head over to Leicester Sq for something less expensive but equal in quality. nonetheless the place is good for a catch up and chat. also super convenient in terms of being next to Gloucester tube. i got the nasi goreng and a dish of vege. You can see the menu too.
My favourite dish was sichuan aubergine to eat with rice! Other dishes I had was also good sambal sotong and pak choi. The Singapore Laksa also tasted decently good as locally from Singapore.
One of the best restaurants in London! My must-to-go every time im in London! Laksa is the best outside Singapore!
Very nice traditional Singaporean/Malaysian food! Good value!

The search is over. Having lived and worked in Singapore in the late 90s, we knew what a real hainanese chicken rice tastes like. And for >20years we have struggled to find an authentic Singapore restaurant. Enter BUGIS St! I cannot fault their food, service and location. Topnotch!
Great singaporean food! Went recently and the staff were friendly as well as quick service.
A good place to grab some authentic singaporean foods !
One of the best place to have authentic SG / MY food in London. Highly recommended Hainan Chicken Rice and Penang Char Kway Teow.
Price is very reasonable even located in a hotel.
I have visited here once before when staying at The Bailey's Hotel.
This time I visited but stayed elsewhere unfortunately.
The food was very tasty just like last time. Generous portions and brought out quickly. Drinks are a little expensive but it doesn't put a dampener on the experience.
I will continue to go back.
Stumbled upon this place which is very near to Gloucester Road Station. My wife and I entered this place with trepidation as we are from Singapore and this place claims to be a Singapore restaurant. Our experiences so far overseas with such restaurants are usually bad. But this place proves us wrong. My wife ordered the Nasi Lemak and I had the Hainanese chicken rice. The Nasi Lemak is as real as it gets. The sambal is definitely home made and is heavenly. Likewise the chicken rice is indeed very tasty. I dare say it may be even a tad better than home. The meat is tender and the condiments are winners. The chili is something to remember. Overall experience is good. Customer service is good too. Definitely deserves a second visit.
The lunch set menu is good value. However, the first Hanan chicken I ordered was too tough, the waitress was willing to change it for me. The presentation of the dim sum (siu mai) can be improved - they were all upside down.
Laksa flavours were really good, spicy and coconutty but not too milky. Lots of ingredients in it as well (fishcakes, prawns, chicken, tofu). Char kway teow had good wok flavour and generous serving size. Nasi lemak was a bit of a let down, served with plain rice isn't of coconut rice. Would go back for laksa if in the area, otherwise a bit of a journey since it's not near anything.
To all the Singaporeans living in London, I would really recommend you to try out this place!! You will not be disappointed.
We love this place. It definitely appeals to our nostalgic side. Food is very good!! I cannot get enough of Nasi Goreng so would recommend that. If you are missing and craving Killiney Kopitiam’s fried beehoon, then do go for Bugis’ beehoon. You would love it!
Service is swift and staff is courteous.
Highly recommended!!
