Bintang

Went here long time ago. Good place with cozy atmosphere and value-for-money foods! I liked it.

Went last night - food was amazing and the service great. Our waiter Derek was really friendly and didn't rush us at all even though we didn't get there until 9pm. We were talking for about 40 minutes we placed our order and that didn't seem to be a problem at all.

We sat outside which was lovely - very simple and relaxed.

Food.....amazing. I had the wasabi prawns which were just outstanding. I will definitely be making a beeline for Bintang again soon.

Went to Bintang on 30.04.2011. the food was, warm, tasteless and overall disappointing and the general service was very poor. In fact we were given our bill when we had not yet finished our time at the table; we had not asked for it; it was only 09:50 p.m. and the resturant was not even that busy. The guy in charge just laughed this point off and so we left and did not pay the gratuity fee as there was little to be grateful fo . A message to the Owner, If your staff cannot be civil you will end up losing custom. Customer care should not discriminate.

I had a great night with my friends at Bintang. The atmosphere and ambience were so relaxing, the interior design was delightful.

We ordered from the party menu as there was a big group of us. I went for the tofu and vegetable laska soup to start, which was thick and mild - very yummy! The Malaysian chicken served with rice and vegetables for a main. This wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but still tasty.

The BYO policy was great and worked out cheaper too.

Overpriced 'thai' food, even though the people that run this place are clearly not at all thai. Thank god for the service of the lovely fellow Northern lass that served me. Other than her, the night was a total disaster.

Kitchen = USELESS

Guys I suggest no one should miss out on Bintang Restaurant food, I tell you man I always eat out due to the nature of my work. whole seabass cooked in ulek sauce it was out of this world I throughly enjoyed, I ordered chicken bintang excellent taste full of flavour. Amazing when the bill came I could not believe how resonabale the price is, I could eat in bintang daily trust me I will not go broke. Place looks very traditional made me feel I am in thailand in village restaurant. I strongly suggest try it out.

This is the first time I have ever written a review about a restaurant and it was fully deserved. Bintang has been a restuarant that I have always wanted to go to, I have been reccommened the place by my friends many times. I finally had the chance to experience the place first hand last night, and I was extremely satisfied on entering the restaurnat the staff were very friendly, The interior decor is so authentic you do not believe that you are in Kentish town let alone London. the food was beautiful I had the seabass fish for my main which was served on a banana leaf, the flavours were very pleasent and mouth watering. I did have to wait a little while for my food but nothing drastic like I have experienced in other restaurants, but the food was well worth the wait. I also had the pleasure of a non-alcoholic cocktail served in a coconut shell, which was very re-freshing. I will definately be going back.

Great food and loved the Bring Your Own policy. Saved a lot of money on bringing my own alcohol instead of paying the usual expensive restaurant wine prices. It's small but cosy and great for an intimate dinner for two. Highly recommended!

Trendy like camden, bamboo interior with al fresco dinning area, laid back karma just makes you feel chill out and relax. I have eaten some posh nosh malaysian restaurants but Bintang ranks top, quality of food is extremely delicious, good portions and fresh. It is not licensed of course BYO , trust me one can not go wrong in BIntang, during my stay every customer I heard praising the delicous food.

weird place, foodwise.

they seem popular . . .i suppose that's something to do with them being BYO -there were a number of large tables with a good many bottles of wine open. believe corkage is £2 per bottle or person, whichever falls over first maybe . . .?

however they were at the malaysian food festival in trafalgar sq touting themselves as doing malaysian food, and giving away discount vouchers, which was why we tried them.

my friend is malaysian, i travelled there and all over south east asia a lot. unfortunately their food is precisely nothing to do with malaysia, or south east asia at all, really. we just could not work out where they were coming from. mexican via india with a dose of student digs over-enthusiasm finished off with a soupcon of polish waiterish misunderstanding?

mutton rendang was just an oddly concocted, uneven lamb curry with a bit of lime on top. nothing remotely resembling rendang of any kind.

'nonya chicken' tasted like nandos or some sort of mexican dish. again, nothing to do with nonya food at all.

fried tofu & aubergine in thai green curry, again, not really a thai curry and no understanding of balancing and complementary flavours that make south east asian food special. this tasted like the sort of thing you might throw together in a student house, which might be right, certainly the place has that kind of ambience. the large boozy tables of english seemed to like it, and the prices were reasonable.

the polish girl who served us was perhaps having a case of first night nerves, and a lot of the non-alcoholic drinks, which sounded nice, were all out of stock so it was diet coke for us and even ordering that seemed to be a succession of trial and error.

the place is enthusiastic, colourful, and the feel of the happy tables of anglos hoeing into the stuff can't be discounted. but don't go expecting it to be anything even remotely to do with south east asia.
