    Best lunch spot near Holborn.
    Josy A.

    Yum. This is easily the best lunch spot near Holborn. One of my colleagues went here for lunch last week and raved about it so much that several of us went back today to see what he was on about!! It is quite a small restaurant, but as Irene mentioned, they also have lots of space to sit outside. I have only been to Malaysia once, so I am not an expert (at all) on this kind of food...but I thought it was all soooooo good. I tried the beef rendang, which came with coconut rice, an egg, cucumber, peanuts & anchovies and a good dollop of sambal. I wish I could rewind time so that I wasn't soo full, because I want to eat it all again! Just come here for lunch and thank me with hugs later. (^^)

    Nasi Goren box!
    Narumi A.

    It was the 2nd visit for me to taste their delicious malaysian food! What I ordered this time was a "Nasi Goren"! Yay! The restaurant's smell whetted my appetite and the staff was very kind and friendly with smile as usual. I got so full when I had a beef Rendang last time, so this time I just got Nasi Goren which was very good with moderate spiciness lingered in my mouth a while. But maybe it was better to add beef or veggie's topping? Next time!

    Dapur!

    Dapur means kitchen in Malay language. I have been talking to my colleagues about Dapur for sometime before we finally went there last week - finally walk the talk! Please note that Dapur is open Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 3:00pm. It took us about 15 minutes to walk to Dapur from Holborn. Along the way we passed many alleys and back streets. Dapur is indeed a wonderful little gem in the back streets. They serve halal, authentic Malay dishes. When we got to Dapur there was already a queue for lunch. The cafe itself is compact, seating only 16. However they have tables and seats outside for customers to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. I ordered Option Two which is a choice of white rice/coconut rice/fried vermicelli noodles and 2 dishes, meat/vege for only £6.95. I had white rice+ayam goreng bawang (fried chicken with onions)+stir fried vegetables served in cardboard box with plastic cutleries. I asked for extra gravy from the ayam goreng bawang and some sambal (chilli paste). The owner Sharizah and her staff Marliza were very friendly and also generous with their sambal :) I like the ayam goreng bawang very much especially mixed with sambal. Truly authentic Malay cuisine! I only realised that I had not taken a photo of my food to post on Yelp after I finished eating! There is always a next time! It was pleasant to seat outside to eat while our bodies absorb vitamin D from the sun... After eating, it took us a few minutes to find a bin to dispose of our lunch boxes. Perhaps the owners would want to inform customers who sit outside where to dispose of their lunch boxes. Dapur also caters for private events for a minimum of 15 people up to a maximum of 40 people. Food is nevertheless authentic, delicious and reasonably priced!

    Yummy mee Siam.

The vibe is warm and lively, the service was great, and the food was delicious . The Paneer, House Black Daal, roti and parathas, crispy okra, chai and lassi were all delicious.

We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

Here's what we ordered and enjoyed most: Thyme kellaj: crisp, filled with delish zaatar, perfect for me Hummus: creamy dream, perfectly balanced Labneh: thick, creamy, dreamy. Chicken Fallouj: huge portion. Perfectly cooked, no dryness and full of flavor. Went very well with the labneh. Falafel: crispy, BIG, but not as big on the flavor as I was expecting. Did like that it came with a tahini sauce and pickled turnips which cut the heaviness. Actually wouldn't get again because the other items filled me right up. The only "miss" of the meal for me. Passion fruit martini is a MUST get for you fruity drink people. Really tasted like passion fruit. The old fashioned is a miss for my husband -- he couldn't explain why but he just wasn't into it. Please note that this restaurant is in a smaller space so you probably would need a reservation on weekends.

The beans (foul) were my favorite. The baba ganoush lacked the smoky flavor that I usually love about it. But everything else was tasty and hit the spot after a day of playing tourist in London. Service was swift and nice. I would certainly come back again.

    My main reason for coming to Tinseltown was to get a milkshake. My colleagues explained this was…read morethe spot for such a confection and upon seeing the extensive menu (they have over 50 flavours to choose from) I could easily tell they were right. I admit I made the classic mistake of not realising that less is almost always more. Rather than getting a simple shake - strawberry, peanut butter and banana, Oreo cookie - I plunged into a candy bar filled ice cream disaster that left me feeling ill three sips in. I have since learned my lesson. The sandwiches - burgers, chicken, etc - are sized to the max so bring your appetite. They also do take away so if you want to run with your shake or sandwich (i.e. eat in a closet so no one can see you decimating a day's worth of calories in one go) it's pretty hassle free to do so.

Damn these milkshakes would bring all the boys to the yard lmao! I went for my classic - Ferrero rocher - wow it was phenomenal, so glad I'd stay with tried and trusted favourite! It was totally worth them extra few hours in the gym to work this baby off! Food wise, I so wanted to love it, but blah it was just average.. We got nachos to share and I just had a few bites, it was definitely nothing special. For my main, I was feeling a burger, so got the double cajun chicken burger.. I bit into it and the chicken was still a bit pink.. Definitely not a good sign and wasn't flavoursome at all. The Mexican vegetables I got with it, was more like salsa with.. Well I have no idea, but certainly wasn't what I imagined when I ordered vegetables.. If I'm going back, it's probably for a milkshake to take away, let's face it!

    No reservations. This is the best "Best Mangal" in London. It might have been a lucky night. That…read morewe were extremely famished. But no matter. I will hear no word against it. It's the best! We decided upon this place after a pool tournament at the nearby hurricane rooms. Having both been knocked out in the first round, it was quite a fortunate circumstance as we wouldn't have discovered this place otherwise! Upon entering the place was well lit and clean. It wasn't in the least bit smoky unlike some Mangal's that absolutely leave you smelling of charcoal. There were only two other tables taken so I thought it might have been a wrong move... Our orders taken, straight away we're brought the complimentary turkish bread and dips that all mangals normally serve. Quite often this bread is cold and chewy, or given with a nasty dip that smells a bit off. Not here. The bread was warm and super yummy, and a good portion of it too! I absolutely stuffed myself on this because the dips, of which I don't know the names, were so good! Remembering that we still had out mains to come, I stopped. But at this point I was around 50% full! Our mains come out and boy are the portions gigantic. Lots of meat, extremely fresh looking and tasting salad and your choice of fries or rice. With a thin pitta as the base. There was oil in the doner chicken, but not as much as you normally find. It was very tasty. The chilli sauce, wasn't that hot, but the flavours were full and a welcome addition to the slightly charred moist chicken. As we were about to ask for the bill, (note: Earlier to this I had heavily complimented the staff on how good the food was) they were exceptionally gracious in offering us some complimentary turkish tea and delights. That was a nice touch and perfect end to a perfect meal. I honestly felt like a guest in somebody's home, as all the staff from the cooks to the waiting staff were super nice and friendly. This is apparently a chain (same owners), with another in Shoreditch which I've visited. But it's nothing close in either food quality or staffing at this branch. So it's fair to say they only share the name (along with many dozens across London) Give this place a visit if you're around King's Cross Station and looking for a quick bite. For just over a tenner, you're sure to leave stuffed and more importantly happy. Now isn't that what life is about.

Make sure you try their turkish tea - its made from real leaves. Overall this place is reasonable in price, huge portion and you won't be left hungry. The Resturant staff are friend. My food did take a little 15 mins to arrive but it's worth the wait :) I highly recommend this place and often come here for afternoon lunch when I need a big heart meal for reasonable price. Also they have a set menu for office workers during the week..
