Nestled between a dry cleaner and an off-licence in Queen’s Park, Sudu serves up soul-soothing Malaysian comfort food in a cozy, romantic setting that feels like home.
"Sudu means spoon in Malay, and that’s exactly what you’ll be encouraged to do at this warmly lit, charming 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. Or your date’s, if that’s your thing. The laid-back, neighbourhood Malaysian restaurant invites intimate date nights that might start with across-the-table hand holding and end with aggressive hissing if they ask to split the last roti." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"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
"A dry cleaners and an off licence don’t scream romance, but between the two is a Queen’s Park restaurant with moody lighting and fiery Malaysian flavours. Sudu’s wooden benches and hanging foliage invite intimate catch-ups and across-the-table hand holding. The rendang is a must-order if you’re after something even more tender than the sonnet your partner is currently reciting. Just don’t spoil the mood by asking to split the last roti.

The homely, laid-back neighbourhood restaurant invites intimate catch-ups that feel special without having to spend a fortune. The aromatic chicken rice, the fact that the mains all fall around the £15 mark, and the buzz that you’ll find here on a Friday night all make this the kind of restaurant that makes us grateful to live in London." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
