This place is absolutely dreadful. The waitress was rude and unfriendly, she kept playing the same song over and over again. We asked her to stop putting the same song on repeat but she just said that she likes the song. Food was bland. I asked for coconut rice but was given plain. When I complained she sullenly took the rice away. Was gone for about 15 minutes all the time my main dish getting cold on the table. She eventually returned and plonked down a fresh bowl of plain rice. Not a word of sorry. Will never go back here.

Visited last night with a group of friends, one of whom had been before and raved about the place. Hugely warm welcome from Jackie, most of us dispensed with the menu and just asked her to bring us something good. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing even the odd sounding 'aubergine and anchovy' dish which I was reticent to try at first being a hater of both the ingredients....it was out of this world!

I will definitely be visiting again soon.

Food was more than disappointing and the house specialties far too expensive.

Great place. I'd have walked past it easily had I not been with a friend who already knew it, but my goodness what a gem. Decor is dated, but cute, very clean place. Food was excellent and speedy, managed three courses, plates clean and it was very good value.

Aside from the food. The highlight of the evening was the lovely lady at the door, just lovely, chatty, constantly smiling, just a great person who made us feel very welcome and more importantly at home. Will definitely come back even if I'm not hungry just to say hi! Recommended, deffo.

Fantastic. I've been in eating in Melati for years and it is by far the best Malaysian joint in London. Jackie is always there with a big smile to welcome us and the food is amazing. Yes, it is a little old but lets face it, if they been around for 40 years its got to be something... although in my last visit the table clothes were gone and brand new wood tables were brought in and it even got re branded!!!

Downside - the place is over 3 floors, always try and sit in the ground floor, always.
