Melur by Pak Amie : Family owned Halal Malaysian restaurant in central London. 

We were their first customer of that day, owner was a little rattle due to some miscommunication between his workers BUT he went out of his way to make our order and our stay pleasant.

A place where you get can your keropok lecur fixed!! 


We had - Nasik kandar, meehoon goreng, chicken rice, roti canai & keropok lecur .  



Food connects us all.

The food is lovely and the staff is very friendly. I am malaysian lived in England for years. I know the owner of the restaurant. Super friendly. Been going there many times with my girlfriend and family. The atmosphere is carm and relaxing.

Some of the best flavorful authentic Malaysian dishes you'll find. The owner and staff are absolutely lovely and very considerate! The restaurant is very clean, well decorated and there's a place where you can make wudu and pray! Mashallah, overall it was worth the 40 minute drive! It's also located in a very centralized corner filled with other halal markets and restaurants! 10/10 recommend!

First off, the service here was not good. I came to get takeout and they said to wait 15 minutes. I waited 40 minutes. The manager took forever and had a horrible attitude. I got the Char Kuay Teow which shouldn't be too difficult to make, but by the extra 25 minutes I had to wait, I don't know.

Char Kuay Teow- Honestly it was okay. It was not the best, not the worst. The flavors were there, but tasted more like Chinese fried noodles. 

Overall, I would not recommend this place.

My experience here was pretty mixed. On one hand the food was absolutely delicious but the service could do some reworking. Ordered Char Kuay Teow for take out at around 6:30 pm and although they seemed busy it wasn't terribly busy. We waited almost 40 minutes to get our food because only one person in the entire store can handle the cash. When the manager gave us the change, she really didn't have the best attitude. 

The food was delicious, very authentic Malaysian flavor with that hint of Chinese influence. Very surprised they have this traditional food in London, but for the wait, not sure if it's worth it. Come for the food but only if you are dining in and paying with card.

Had a day off work and went for lunch to Melur. We ordered the following:

- Soto Ayam
- Nasi Goreng Daging Merah
- Nasi Goreng Kampung
- Ayam Bawang Putih
- Nasi
- Roti Canai

Both nasi goreng dishes rank among the best I've had in London. Great savoury flavour and just the right amount of sweetness bring memories of past holidays which is all you could ask for. The daging merah (red meat) has a nice bean-based flavour and the soto is passable but not great. For a dish advertising itself as a chicken soup, I received two measly pieces of chicken. If you do fancy the soto as a main, order two as bowls are small. The ayam bawang putih is a bit dry with the best parts of the dish coming from the seasoning sprinkled on top; the crispy garlic pieces are incredible. Lastly, the roti canai is tasty but other places do better. In a mild plot twist it arrived last despite being labelled as a starter.

One last comment is that we wanted to order a couple of other dishes from the dessert menu but were told they'd sold out. Having arrived for lunch at a very quiet time this was somewhat disappointing.

I would recommend Melur overall. It has some really strong points and some drawbacks but enough to justify a revisit.

The best Malaysian food I've ever had, wonderful spices and very appealing! I will definitely return.

The service was friendly but that's the only real positive.

The place was dark and dank with little atmosphere. I ordered a lychee drink, which came with perhaps more ice than drink.

I also ordered the green lamb curry. This was a sad affair. Whilst it was indeed hot, the dish looked very barren with tiny pieces of chewy lamb and nothing much else inside it. No bamboo shoots, carrots or anything else. It was a little cheaper than the other dishes, but poor.

The satay started we had was equally disappointing. Expensive for only 6 sticks, the lamb satay was burned and super tough. Only the satay peanut sauce saved the dish as it was extremely delicious and mildly spicy with the signature chunky peanuts and smoky taste.

The other dishes out party had didn't look anything special either. In essence the menu here tries to do too much and a lot of it not very well. If you're looking for something close to average home cooking you might be impressed with if you'd made it yourself with ingredients you've found around the kitchen, you may well be pleased. The price is also quite outrageous for the standard of food.

However having been to the quite good "C & R Cafe & Restaurant" two weeks prior with much better pricing, portion and taste, it's a no brainer. This isn't one to give reason ever to try again.

My sister had gotten a 2-4-1 Time Out offer that was valid for their 'Cheap Eat' restaurants so we decided to check out Melur on the Edgeware Road. 

Melur is a Malaysian restaurant and so sticks out a little, thematically if not literally, amongst the largely Lebanese restaurants on the Edgeware Road. Melur is quite far up the road and is down a set of stairs from street level. The inside is decorated simply but with consideration. 

We went quite late on a Monday night and, whilst there weren't that many other people around, there was a constant trade. 

They sell a range of traditional Malay dishes. We had the Chicken Satay and Gado Gado (salad) to start. Both of which were well done. The satay sauce had a good texture and subtly of flavour. For main course I had the prawn fried in batter. The prawns had been cooked for just the right length of time and the batter was nice and light. I had rice as well was fine, as rice is. To drink we had Teh Tarik, a Malaysian sweet tea, which was very comforting. 

The staff were nice and gave recommendations. It made for a nice dinner. The only downside about the place was that there were a few things on the menu that weren't available. Also, whilst nice for two, the dishes suit sharing so a group of at least four would be best.

The option of buffet, a la carte, or Set Menu options are available.   Food and atmosphere is  authentic Malaysian/Indonesian.  We were quite satisfied!
