The Best 10 Restaurants For A Last-Minute Group Dinner In London - London - The Infatuation

"Despite the fact that this Malaysian restaurant in Battersea Power Station’s arches is walk-in only, it’s spacious and still feels like it’s made for rowdy groups. There’s a whole section of the menu dedicated to the namesake roti, which you should absolutely get involved in (our favourites are the dhal and mutton), but they also serve great versions of Malaysian hawker stall staples like char kway teow, nasi goreng, and a proper laksa for under a tenner. Don't skip the beef rendang—after the roti it's our go-to order. Come with a crowd, get a roti each, a rice and noodle dish or two to share, and leave knowing you’ve tried the best of everything." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"Praise be to Sugen Gopal for bringing some quality food to Battersea Power Station. It’s the simple formula — Malaysian curries and flaky, lacy, beautiful roti canai — that has given him royal status, and it’s not going to be changed anytime soon." - Josh Barrie

Roti King Battersea - Review - Battersea - London - The Infatuation

"You’ll often find this Malaysian restaurant in Battersea Power Station’s arches filled with locals who are popping in after work and loud groups who’ve just finished a round of indoor crazy golf next door. Super casual, with a bunch of big tables inside and some high tables outside, this isn’t a place where you’ll be asked to keep it down. That, plus the fact that the food is comforting and incredibly good value for money, means that Roti King has effortlessly become a go-to spot in the area. It’s the second location of London’s cult Malaysian mini-chain that, as you can probably deduct from the name, specialises in roti canai—soft, flaky flatbreads served with a bowl of hearty curry. Like the original Euston restaurant, this spot is walk-in only but instead of a small basement dining room, the Battersea spot has a strong warehouse meets jungle aesthetic inside. There are exposed pipes on the ceiling, dark brown wood tables and floors, and an island with green foliage in the centre. The space (and menu) is made for a rowdy group. There’s a whole section of the menu dedicated to the namesake roti, which you should absolutely get involved in (our favourites are the dhal and mutton), but they also serve great versions of Malaysian hawker stall staples like char kway teow, nasi goreng, and a proper laksa for under a tenner. Don't skip the beef rendang—after the roti it's our go-to order here. Come with a crowd, get a roti each, a rice and noodle dish or two to share, and leave knowing you’ve tried the best of everything. Food Rundown Roti Canai The roti here is top-tier. Flaky on the surface, doughy in the thicker parts, and delicious all round, we could eat this plain. But it’s way better dipped in the dhal curry, or for scooping up a tender piece of mutton. In case you’re bad at picking up on hints: order the dhal and mutton. Beef Rendang Soft, slow-cooked beef in a hearty sauce you’ll want to lick off the plate. Perfect with the coconut rice, but equally as good if you’ve got some leftover roti to dip in it. Mee Goreng This hefty portion of noodles is stir-fried with chicken, prawns, and tofu, and is a very satisfying plate of food. And the best part? It’s less than a tenner. Spinach and Cheese Murtabak A roti filled with spinach and cheese sounds like a good idea but compared to the plain roti with curry, this is forgettable. Save your stomach space for the real deal." - Rianne Shlebak

A little bit of a wait but we were 8 people and it was really worth it. Portions are big and fresh. Food cane fast and the waiters are polite and courteous. Mohan was really attentive and kept us up to date while we were waiting so we weren’t anxious or anything. Come for a good meal and a full stomach.

I try not to be critical with my food reviews. However for the amount of money you spend, I would be very selective with the dishes here. Best to observe what the other customers are ordering to facilitate your decision. The beef rendang I had was not authentic. Honestly tasted like curry/korma instead of beef rendang. Didn’t finish my food. The nasi goreng and roti telur isn’t bad; if you’re homesick. Saw other guests ordering the mee goreng mamak and kway teow. Customer service is good. Fast. Attentive. Probably this is the saving grace. Food-wise, it’s probably worth eating something non-malaysian for the same price. Or just avoid the beef rendang so as not to leave disappointed.

Went with a group of friends and had an amazing time! The food was fantastic—flavorful, generous portions, and every dish we tried was mouth-watering. We sampled a variety of items, and everything was consistently delicious. The whole group enjoyed it, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

London food is awesome - Roti King was another in the chain of superhits during our short stay here. Crowded, small - you may have to wait. We decided to opt for seating outside and that jumped the wait queue. Food is fast and tastes amazing. We loved everything - nasi lemak, mei goreng, nasi goreng, roti canai in chicken, beef, and dhal (dal). The drinks (mojito, margarita) are ok, better than nothing. Location is superbly convenient if you are taking the boat.

I ordered one chicken and one mutton Roti. How do you give only 4 pieces of small mutton and the curry sauce is a quarter of the container and hardly covers the meat?? This is the second time we had hardly any sauce…so do I eat the Roti dry? When you eat in the portions are good but delivery you guys a not good. Plus when I complained to Ubereats…shock horror nothing they can do! I paid over £20 to be left hungry?

Roti king always remains a favorite! More spacious seating at the Battersea branch and it’s actually outside the mall. Roti canai always remains a top order! It can get hot in summers and you might need to wait a bit!

25 Oct 2025 We went to Roti King Battersea. The food were fabulous and so 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍. We had Mee mamak, curry laksa and roti canai. The roti canai fish curry was 👍👍👍👍👍 Staff were super. Especially Alekhya A. She was wondering. Recommended us what special in the menu. And keep on coming back to check if we had our food. The space is ok but the music was bit too loud for us

Im malaysian malay and its my first time dining at Roti King in Battersea. Ive been on a malaysian food adventures around London. I didnt have too much expectation since I know its very hard to get the authentic taste of back home. I ordered the char keuy teow I asked for extra spicy. Nasi lemak with ayam goreng rempah and roti canai with beef rendang and teh tarik. I was blown away by the rendang. The consistency and taste was very much like authentic malay rendang. They used the proper spices for malaysian rendang.its nice and spicy Dare say it reminded me like my mom's rendang. When I closed my eyes I can picture eating it during raya with ketupat or lemang. It was soo good. Best malaysian rendang ive had in london so far. If u like dry rendang like rendang tok. This may not be your cup of tea. But i like my rendang more like gravy ish or 'berkuah'. And the char keuy teow made me almost cry because it tastes exactly like how the mamak back home used to cook it n I missed that so much! Its not like ur Chinese style CKT but mamak style. So kuey teow goreng mamak more like. But it was perfect. The spicy and a bit wet like how it should be n char n smokiness. Most places make thr mistake of frying it till its super dry like chow mein. But here balanced Perfection. Nasi lemak was fragrant n the chicken was also good. Teh tarik is hard to replicate like back in kl. But this was very very close. I wasnt not disappointed at all. I ate there n was wrapped in warm spicy memories of back home n back at mamak . Service here was also superb! Atmosphere was nostalgic to restaurants back in kl. Well done guys! Keep it up! A very happy homesick malaysian.
