I love this restaurant, I have been going there since 1995. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. I had my h birthday there and was spoilt and it didn't cost too much. The food is superb its tasty and delicious i love the flat noodles. I have been to several restaurants in London and other counties and they can't match Penangs.
Penangs is an acquired taste not everyone will like the mixtures of flavor I do. I believe if you want simple delicious food at a reasonable price they are the place t o go. love it Anica
I always compare foods and quality with price. This is a cheap/medium-priced restaurant. I ordered Singapore Laksa and Fried tofu. Singapore soup was awesome big portion and it was only £8. Fried tofu wasnt very good tho. The environment is beautiful and you will be hosted by Malaysian people which is quite nice.

Best restaurant around the north of London. Among all the Turkish and Indian places, this place stands its ground and serves amazing far eastern food. We keep going back. We stopped counting how many times. The waitress (owner?) always welcomes us with a huge smile. The atmosphere is amazing. It's always warm and cosy, no noise, no loud music. Perfect for chatting, or a date, or just a quick dinner out.
The set menu is really worth the price and you get an amazing assortment of food. You'll get everything listed there except the dessert which is "choose one". In the pictures you can see "Menu C" for 3 people. You'll also get really nice prawn crackers with anything you eat as a pre-starter.
Note for the owner: for some reason we always want to go out for dinner on Tuesday evening, but then you're not open :( We didn't go at least 5 times in the last months because of this.
Delicious and affordable food, good service, and a homely atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Southeast Asia. The Satays are authentic and delicious, Char Kuey Teow is authentic and has immense Wok Hei. Hot Melakan Sugar Coconut Pancake with Ice Cream Dessert was smoky sweet and delicious.
Looking forward to going again many times!
Delicious welcoming very helpful atmosphere and excellent efficient service! It was lovely and inshallah will go there again after Ramadan. The prawns dishes were delicious and the Malaysian chicken curries, beef curries, nasi goreng , beef and chicken satay yummy. Good portions, quickly served as my hubby and children were fasting and all halal. Good prices and affordable. Definitely recommend this place to families who love Malaysian food and people with great taste and hospitality.
Visited this restaurant this evening and was completely blown away by the quality of the food. So flavourful and fresh. Meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly.
Had a great dinner with friends. Great to taste and learn about new foods.
Lots of vegetarian options and the flavours spectacular.
We ordered the special fish, fried rice, house special satay and laksa soup. As a Malaysian, I would say the menu is kind of authentic though there are some slight deviations which I found to be unique such as the special fish served with satay peanut sauce. The rice cubes served with satay was also much smaller than what we get at home and the satay did not have that nice char. The peanut sauce was also slightly underwhelming due to the lack of chili. Other than that, the nasi goreng (fried rice) and other dishes were very affordable for what you get and tasty! I think we may have ordered the wrong stuff so I am very intrigued to try again and support this cute Malaysian gem!! <33 :) I also really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurent as I got to see people enjoy Malaysian food!! One slight qualm was some questionable service as the waitress was kind of moody but the Auntie was so sweet!
A hidden gem in Turnpike lane. Food is delicious, prices reasonable and service excellent. I always go there when I am around this area.
I have lived in North London all my life and have been going to Penang Satay House for over year. Dining at the restaurant and also having delivery take aways to my house.
I can say that the food if of good quality and has a traditional authentic taste which is hard to find lately.
The restaurant has been there for over 35 years hence giving good taste to the dishes.
Another advantage is that owner has said that the chicken and beef is halal. Also when they cook they use different pans and utensils to cook these dishes.
Love this local gem and the aunties running the place. Some food not exactly authentic but hard to find anywhere outside Malaysia that can do it and this restaurant does a great job.
I just discoverd this place with my brother, we took set A to share, it was really good and unique, i really liked orange chicken and prawns with bamboos. Dessert was amazing. Really recommend this place and definitely I will be back here ;)
What a hidden gem! If you are a fan of saté do not miss this place when visiting London! Incredible authentic Malaysian food, good veggie options, and all for a really good price!
Fantastic service, brilliant food, and lovely people. Our family have been coming here for years, and I highly recommend visiting Satay House. I recommend lobak, crispy tofu, any of the beautiful yellow curries (the prawn is my favourite), and crispy noodles too from the mains. The gadoh-gadoh in peanut sauce, chicken satay and spring rolls satay are fantastic too from the starters.
Dine in review: Delicious, authentic, reasonably priced Malaysian restaurant. Fabulous Singapore laksa. Thank you! Perhaps turn down the halogen spotlights in the evening for more ambience.
Take away review: Had a takeaway this time. Thai red curry was too sweet (no better than out of a jar, unfortunately), but the Singapore Laksa was again delicious (and well pakaged for transportation), as were the beef with ginger & spring onions and other dishes.
Had a great meal here tonight with a friend! Chicken Satay, Singapore Laksa, Coconut Pancakes with ice cream, a soft drink & a coffee - all for £18.20! All the dishes were extremely tasty & good portion sizes.
I used to come here about 20 years ago for staff get togethers, when they had karaoke in the back room & catered functions - maybe they still do? The same lady Manager is still there & the same Chef!!
Do go along for some excellent, delicious Malay food! 😋😋
Good food & great value for money. Starters are delicious especially the mix satay & Hoisin duck. Beef rendang was nice. Nasi Goreng could’ve been seasoned better. The Crispy Noodles I didn’t like at all so wouldn’t recommend. Great service too.
Fantastic little Malaysian restaurant serving traditional food. The coconut rice is flavourful and the satay skewers are a must.
Portion sizes are smaller (noodles and rice dishes are meant to be sides) but good for their price. The currys are probably best value but all the dishes are cooked well with amazing flavours. Staff can be a little slow at times but it is a casual dining affair rather than an in-and-out establishment.
It was ok. Nothing was bad but nothing was standout either.
Doesn't seem to know what it wants to be and many items are just like a typical Chinese place.
