C&R Restaurant

Was craving for chendol so i googled & find this restaurant has chendol in their menu! Went there and end up ordering Laksa & my husband ordered ayam masak merah. Surprisingly i was impressed with the flavour! Its was so delicious & the laksa? My oh my,its a BIG portion for 1 as it comes in a huge bowl..! The ayam masak merah was nice, authentic taste. The chendol was a bit dissapointing as it was too sweet..! Overall, i LOVE it!! Didnt expect the taste to be that good. Well done C & R and the price isnt bad either. Will deffo come back

We visit this restaurant with my girlfriend at least twice a month since 2 Malaysian friends recommended it.

Dont look for decoration and ambiance. Everything is very standard, "but this is how a proper Malaysian restaurant is" (my friends said).

Service could be a bit slow and dont expect any superior customer skills.

The reason we are going there is the food. Which is absolutely amazing!

Every time i order the Tom Yum Soup and that Malaysian fried bread with the Curry sauce. Any main dish is delicious.

My girlfriend said that i shouldnt write a review about this restaurant because then people will learn about how good it is and then we will not be able to find a table, as well as the prices will go up due to the demand. :)) Cheeky girl!

Anyway, i have posted the review as this restaurant deserves it. If you manage to find it, you will become a regular as we are!

Best Laksa in London...

I have been to the Chinatown branch as well as this branch and the Westbourne one is so much better in terms of food, service and atmosphere.

Prices are reasonable... Try the following mains - you can't go wrong:

- Nasi Goreng Kampung

- Singaporean Laksa.

Yummy! I am salivating as I am typing this out.

Oh.. and there service is quite good too. The waiters/tresses are quite attentive.

As people probably know from my last review, I'm not shy about expressing my opinions and now is no exception. C&R has been very highly recommended before and I also very highly recommend it. If you want a truly modern heart of the city feel with truly authentic food, C&R is the place to go. As always, I ordered the nasi goring kampong and I must say, I wanted thirds! Never before have I tasted anything so divine. It is just as good as my folks' home cooking and that's saying something.

God bless C&R! If there is a heaven on earth, or something close to it, then C&R is definitely it! I'll be going back time and time again, even if I have to bankrupt myself doing it. I don't think I'll ever need to cook again!

We were in Bayswater and were looking for a place to eat and saw this place was busy compared to the other restaurant on the same street. So we assumed the would be excellent.

Sitting down, the people in the neighbouring tables were Malaysians, so we thought we picked a 'good one', especially if Malaysians were dining here. It is nice to listen to those cute Malaysian accents and the manner in which they speak to each other. Very nice.

Our bill came to £25 a head (2 course plus drinks). For that level of money, you expect people to be at the top of their game and I just think this place does not cut it. There are some good things about this place, but I think the food was marginal.

There people that serviced us were pleasant. The front of house was dressed in a smart suit, but one of this waiter was walking around in sneakers and a black t-shirt. This is not good. And this sort of exemplifies this place, a little amaterish. For instance got the chicken satay, which was nice, it was accompanied by a few big chunks of cucumber and onion. Just google Chicken Satay and you will see some good photos of presentation. Our waiter got confused about what to do with the used cutlery from the starters, they were soiled, so change it. If you spend £25 a head, you expect top service.

In fairness, I would not write off this place, as you could see there were Malaysians, but why they come to this place, I have no idea. I did not think it was worth the £25 a head.

I've been a regular here for years. The food is tasty, the staff friendly. We have had many family events here and they have always been very accomodating!

I also get take aways here regularly, again never disappointed!
