Super delicious Malaysian food for all. If you love tangy, spicy, sweet, sour varieties of Malaysian good food never miss this restaurant. They have a good choice of veg/non-veg items in the menu including soups, noodles, rice preparations. Ambience is basic considering the small place in that location around middle of Chinatown and Soho. You get true homemade family cooked food here with good service from the Chef and team.
C & R restaurant is probably one of my best discoveries for Malaysian food and hands down one of my favourite restaurants in London. I took one of my friends for dinner here and I had fully briefed him about how much this place would change his life. Needless to say he was quite the sceptic. To get started we ordered butterfly prawns, which wasn’t a very good idea. It literally looked like something my mum would buy from the supermarket and deep fry at home. Not a good start at all. I was determined to turn the tables so for mains we ordered homemade chicken curry and homemade prawn curry.
A nice convenient restaurant for a casual meal at affordable prices. Although the interior doesn't scream "come in", and the service could be improved, the roti canai and generously portioned laska certainly made up for it. There is often a line out the door, so expect a wait!
Great food with amazing flavours. We found this gem in Chinatown after a friend recommended this to us. A small place, so you can expect some waiting time before you get a table. I had the nasi lemak which is a Malaysian traditional dish and totally loved it. The flavours in the dish are great. We also had the roti canai, crispy pork rolls, chilli prawns with okra and nasi gorenj. The highlight of the meal was definitely the nasi lemak and the Malaysian tea and coffee here.
In China town.
They have good Chinese food at a very affordable price. The service is fast but the place is nothing special. The food is served in very large doses.

I was in London with my two friends and I made an research and find this restaurant really interesting.
It was really difficult to find this place but we made it! Staff is very helpful here, we didn't know what choose and they told us which dishes are the most popular.
So we decided to take :
Singapore Laksa - this soup is very very big, I think it's great for two persons, it's also very spicy- for me too much spicy, but generally the soup is great- all fishes, chicken, shrimps and vegetables were very fresh and it was delicious! I think it's a must try soup''
C & R Chilli Chicken- it was a chicken with sweet and chilli sauce with rice and it was really really tasty! I love dishes like this, it was more sweet like spicy but after Singapore Laksa it was great. The one thing which was weird was a tomato in this dish, because i think it just don't go with pepper and onion.
Char Kway Teow - it was a little bit like Pad Thai and I like it but for me there was lackness of some freshness like lemon, shrimps were very fresh and noodles were amazing.
The worst was chicken Teryiaki because it was just rice , lettuce and pieces of chicken with sauce Teryiaki from the bottle. The guy who helped us choose our menu didn't mention this dish so maybe that was the point. It was simply a mistake that we took it.
I think this restaurant is worth to go there and try their menu.
Something I miss living in Asia is the food. From Singaporean eats to Malaysian feasts to the emerging identity of Filipino cuisine, the regional gastronomic scene is one to excite palates and bellies on a global scale. Surely, there’s nothing better than hopping on a plane and flying over for the authentic stuff but thankfully, C&R Cafe in Chinatown is close enough to take one back to the land of big, bold, brave and beautiful flavours.
I love this place, everything here is delicious. So far my favourite dish are singaporean laksa & nasi lemak. They came on big portions and taste really good 👍👌
One of my favourite restaurants in Chinatown. Very good nasi lemak, laksa,... The chicken curry ia very tasty! I come often I must say :) the spicy version of nasi goreng is very good too
A competitor of Rasa Sayang for good Nasi Goreng. Both make good Nasi Goreng though Rasa Sayang is slightly more hygienic. But I like spicy food and found C&R's Nasi Goreng better for that reason. Service is ok and ambiance is not the best. Seating is a bit cramped. But if you are a fan of Spicy Nasi Goreng like me, please ignore everything else and head here.
The place is located in a rather inconspicuous place. Not everyone can find these restaurants, but in any case, those who need them will find them. I think from the photo the staff is very nice and the service is quite fast. And you see perfectly what exactly they bring to you. Eh, they explain to you what it is and how it is prepared, if you have any questions, then, of course, they will tell you about it and show you, in any case, a friend took me there and showed me what kind of food I really liked the soup .
Of course, we didn’t eat everything, because it was impossible. I have such a Habit that I order a lot and don’t eat it anyway, the guy who served us was quite professional, Despite the fact that he was most likely a student and a person who had recently worked, but in any case.
The work was done professionally, quite cleanly, neatly, nothing superfluous. So you can come and see this place yourself and try the pretty good food they offer.
Top quality foods, fresh ingredients made with authentic Malaysian flavours (coming from a Malaysian!) must try: nasi lemak, char kway teow, hainanese chicken rice, hokkien mee with extra sambal, bak kut teh, prawn noodles (should have the mixture of two types of noodles) must also try barley drink, it brought back childhood memories. Service was ok but have low expectation on this as we were dining in china town, could be quite noisy depending on the timing you visit the restaurant. Reasonable price, cheaper compare to other Malaysian restaurants in London, will 100% return again for the yummy foods!
A lovely Malaysian restaurant hidden away in a laneway in Chinatown. Having come here a few times now, there are some hit and miss dishes but overall authentic, tasty and lots of wok hei. Highlights are the char kway teow which we have ordered time and time again as well as the kang kong vegetables. Roti could have been fluffier as we found the dough quite dense and the bah ku teh completely missed the mark with very little herbal flavours. Good to come for a quick Asian fix at a decent price. Note that toilets are located downstairs so not accessible friendly
When they tell you it's spicy, it is the Malaysian-level spicy for real.
Got the kampung-style fried rice and asam pedas fish. Fish wise they give you two kampung fish which are nice. I particularly like how tender the aubergines are.
One bite took me home.
Would be great to have chicken rendang and not just beef rendang on the menu.
Still the best place in London for seafood noodles - the Wat Tan Ho is legendary. Been coming here the past 15 years and still as good as ever. Priced extremely reasonable and quick service.
We had a great time trying out the best Malaysian cuisine in London. We started off with the amazing Thai Fish Cake and Kangkung Belacan, followed by Mee Siam, Sambal Taucho, Nasi Lemak, and Penang Assam Laksa.
If you are in the city, do visit them once, and they are not that heavy on your wallet 😉
Honestly one of my favourite restaurants in London. Food is authentic and so tasty. Staff are nice and the service is quick. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. If you want proper Malaysian food I definitely recommend C&R.
Lots of great Malaysian dishes but my go-to when coming here is their Hainanese Chicken Rice and Kangkung Belacan (basically asian spinach with not-so spicy shrimp paste)! Tastes like home! My drink of choice is the teh tarik (Malaysian version of milk tea) always, do ask for less sugar
Not going to hold back on the comments: hands down the best wa tan hor in Europe (incl. UK) and would put shame to even most wa tan hor sellers in Malaysia. A must order! The teh tarik is also highly recommended
Food portion was huge but flavours can be bolder- especially the sambal chilli and coconut pandan rice. Singapore laksa also tasted more like curry noodle. Still a good restaurant to satisfy MSIA / SG crave
