Reviews
First of all it's a small place and a 2 man team. The service was great and the server was helpful. We didn't have reservation but we went when it opened and got a seat. Food was great, tasty, a bit oily. Overall great taste and experience.
Normah's Cafe is hands down the best Malaysian restaurant I have ever been to. From the flavorful and authentic food to the warm and attentive service, everything is exceptional. There's a reason why there's always a long waiting list to get a reservation—it's just that good and truly in high demand. If you haven't been yet, it's absolutely worth the wait!
Best halal malaysian fooood in London! Been coming here more than once and it never disappoints. My personal favorite is their beef rendang and roti canai and their ikan! I love every-bit of it! Place can get full really fast so make sure to come right at 5pm!
This restaurant is located inside a market building with shops and other restaurants. Table reservation is a must! Can be done via email (scroll to the bottom of Normah's website). They are usually booked out for a few weeks. Loved the food. The vegetarian laksa was stunning! The service, atmosphere, and cleanliness of the dining area could've been a bit better when we visited, but the flavours made up for it!
Normah's, tucked away in Queensway Market, offers a simple dining experience that resonates with those who appreciate mom-and-pop establishments serving elevated home-style Malaysian cuisine. Do note the restaurant is on the far left of the first perpendicular corridor you see when you enter the Queensway market. It took me quite a while to find this place the first time. First of all, the Nasi Goreng was a standout. The rice was perfectly cooked, each grain distinct, and the crispy elements with the fried rice struck a harmonious balance, resulting in a dish that was both satisfying and flavourful. I can keep downing this again and again. Best Malaysian Nasi Goreng Inahd in London indeed. Also, the Prawn Laksa was exceptional. The broth, rich and aromatic, had a depth of flavor that was both comforting and invigorating. In addition, we tried the Roti Canai with Beef Rendang. While the beef rendang was tender, it leaned towards a sweeter profile and lacked the expected heat, differing from versions I have enjoyed elsewhere. The roti also was too flaky causing it to crumble excessively, which resulted in a texture that deviated from the overall enjoyment of the dish. Finally, despite the small space, they made up for that with stellar service that is warm and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. In conclusion, Normah, the lady in charge, offers a delightful journey into Malaysian cuisine. While there were minor disappointments with the Roti Canai and Beef Rendang, the overall experience was enjoyable. I would recommend this restaurant to those seeking authentic Malaysian flavours in a homely setting and look forward to returning to this spot some other day.
