Absolutely amazing, authentic Malaysian food (verified by a friend who is Malay!) The roti was the best I have had before, so fluffy and crispy, almost like the experience of having a croissant with how it crumbles. Casual environment, it is at a back of a shopping mall type space off Queensway. They can get very busy so take time to have a leisurely meal and book in advance!

Family run, small, cosy cafe in Queensway Market. Amazing authentic Malaysian food. Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. We had aubergine asam pedas, roti with dhal and mee goreng vegetables. Will definitely come back to try other dishes for sure!

We didn’t have a reservation but were told to return after 30 minutes and was not disappointment. It was our first time trying their beef redang and prawn laksa (medium spice) and they were both delicious and very rich in flavour. The fried chicken was really tasty and crispy just as anticipated. Overall it was very authentic. I will be returning with more family members and friends.

Cannot recommend it enough and cannot wait to be back. Incredible homey food and a really good selection of local options. The roti was out of this world, just melting in our mouths. The sea bass was super delicious and the lemon mint was a good cooler on the side. The stir fried rice was also really good. The prices were very reasonable and the service was more than friendly! We booked same day in advance. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved the food! It’s authentic and delicious! Haven’t friend anything as good as this place in the UK! It’s hidden in a small market so could be hard to find! The best family business I’ve been to so far and the waiter, Mohammed, made this experience so much better!

I have been meaning to come here for way too long and I will making my return very soon. I ordered roti with dhal and the roti was the flakiest most buttery roti I have ever had. I had some yummy roti in Malaysia but this was another level of tasty. The dhal was good and I really liked the crispy shallots on top as that added so much flavour and crisp. I need to go back to try their beef rendangI also ordered their lemonade with fresh mint, which was so refreshing

Some of the best Malaysian food in London at great value! Extremely authentic family run restaurant.I've been on 2 occasions and the food was incredible on both! On both occasions we ordered the beef Rendang with roti and prawn Laksa.The Beef rendang is a Malaysian staple and they've do it justice. It's braised beef that is spicy and coconuty that is one of my favourite dishes amongst any cuisine. They serve it with a roti which is in this case a very crispy bread.The prawn Laksa was also great! It's a soupy noodle dish with prawns and tofu and Normah's version is well balanced with flavours and textures.I also love the teh tarik which is a sweet and milky Malaysian tea and would recommend if you like sweet teas.It's a small restaurant so I'd recommend getting a booking if you are planning on visiting. The location is in the back left side of the market which can also be tricky to find but there are signs in the market

Nestled within the bustling Queensway Market, Normah's Cafe is a hidden gem that transports you to the vibrant streets of Malaysia with its authentic flavours and warm hospitality. Founded by Normah Abd Hamid, this family-run establishment has been serving up delectable Malaysian cuisine for over two decades.As I stepped into Normah's Cafe, I was immediately enveloped by the tantalising aromas of spices, herbs, and sizzling meats. The cozy interior, adorned with Malaysian décor and warm lighting, created an inviting ambiance. I eagerly perused the menu, which boasted an extensive array of traditional Malaysian dishes, from aromatic curries to spicy noodle plates.I opted for the Prawn Nasi Goreng, a classic Malaysian dish that promised to tantalise my taste buds. Upon its arrival, I was greeted by a vibrant plate of yummy-ness – succulent prawns, fluffy rice, cooked with fresh vegetables, with a sprinkling of crispy fried onions. Each bite was a symphony of flavours, with the savoury prawns perfectly complementing the spicy and aromatic rice. The dish was a delightful balance of textures, with the tender prawns contrasting with the fluffy rice and the crispy onions adding a touch of crunch.I was thoroughly impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food at Normah's Cafe. The ingredients were fresh and flavourful, and each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail. The prawn nasi goreng was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the vibrant flavours and textures of Malaysian cuisine.The warm hospitality of the staff at Normah's Cafe further enhanced my dining experience. They were attentive and knowledgeable, providing recommendations and answering my questions about the dishes. The friendly atmosphere made me feel welcome and comfortable, as if I was dining in someone's home.Overall, my experience at Normah's Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. The authentic Malaysian cuisine, the warm hospitality, and the inviting atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Malaysia in the heart of London. I highly recommend Normah's Cafe to anyone seeking an authentic and delicious Malaysian dining experience.

This is a charming little place tucked away in Queensway market.My party of 3 turned up at just past 5 on a Friday evening without booking. The server informed us that the next earliest available table for 3 was at 7, which we took.When we turned up at 7, we waited for maybe 10 minutes before we were seated.We ordered and finished eating within an hour and a half, so the service is quite good and you can expect the food to be out quite quickly after you order. As there was only 1 server, you may have to wait a bit before having your order taken.Food is excellent. The chicken in the Nasi Lemak Crispy Chicken is crispy, tender and flavourful. The Curry Laksa Vegetables and Nasi Goreng Chicken are both good too. My one regret is not trying their Roti as well, as that looked very good. The portion sizes are not too big, so you can easily finish one dish yourself.Overall, very good Malaysian food in the UK. Also good to note this place is Halal as well, with no alcohol served. I would definitely recommend booking before you go to avoid disappointment. They can be very busy and you might not be able to get a table.

Believe ALL the hype and then some! Life changing if you’ve never had beef rendang before, like me. :) Roti is also essential. Another dish I can’t live without now! ❤️
