"Sudu means spoon in Malay—and that’s exactly what you’ll be encouraged to do at this charming, cosy restaurant in Queen’s Park. Spoon mouthful after mouthful of tender, rich beef rendang into a pillowy, egg-filled roti, or straight into your mouth. But it’s not just the excellent versions of Malaysian classics that make Sudu a stand-out spot. The homely, laid-back, neighbourhood restaurant invites intimate catch-ups, and romantic date nights that might start with across-the-table hand holding and end with aggressive hissing if they ask to split the last roti. The aromatic chicken rice, comforting nasi goreng kampung, and the charming server who turns out to be the bartender’s mum do a good job of tricking you into thinking you’re at a friend's house. But the hum of the other dinner guests, along with the fact your friend’s signature dish is Heinz à la toast, will quickly remind you that you’re actually in one of London’s best new restaurants—the kind that makes us grateful to live in London." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
