Makan Café - Carte

Makan has been around for good few years Located under the Westway it took over the cafe next door a while back.

Excellent inexpensive Malaysian food from Kakak Aini in Portobella London. Tastes is very original friendly service.

The best dinner you can have in London for only £11. The Malaysian cuisine is excellent, especially the Chicken Laksa which is superb. Voir le carte

We went to this quaint, little cafe at about 9.30am and had the satay with rice (~£6), nasi lemak (~£6), roti canai (~£4) and teh tarik.

I think that they mean well, but the food is prepared with heavy-handedness. The char kuey teow I had was very salty. The satay was deep fried rather than barbecued. I'm glad I tried it but I won't be returning..

I have been eating here for over 15 years and still tastes as good as when I first got it. Food is fresh and delicious. I love the chicken stir fry and the banana buttons. The lamb massaman curry is one of my favourites Voir le carte

We tried the halal English breakfast and it was delicious. It included 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, baked beans, tomato, 1 fried egg, 1 hashbrown, and toast. The food was prepared quickly and brought to our table. You order and pay at the counter. The restaurant is simple and straightforward, but we will definitely return to try more of their dishes. The prices are reasonable and the location is great.

I have lived on Portobello Road my entire life, and I am now 63 years old. When Makan first opened, the food was exceptional. My mother, siblings, and I frequented the restaurant. I also knew the owner, a friendly man with a lovely family. My workplace held meetings there and we brought many customers. However, the quality of the food has declined - it is now too salty, some favorite dishes are burnt, and certain staff members are neglectful in their service. This is not a good image for the restaurant.

Makan cafe was a recommendation and wasn’t a disappointment, on portobello road on the outskirts of the street market, this place is a must try….. we were there for the Malaysian food but they also do chimes food, Indian snacks and treats… samosas, kebabs, cakes, desserts…. There’s plenty of choices…. The Roti Canai is very good, flaky and crisp Roti, flavoursome curry…. Top 3 in London….mee hoon goreng seafood…. Vermicelli noodles with seafood and egg…. Mouthwatering good, right amount of spice, very authentic in taste, fresh seafood… washed down with iced teh tarik, correct amount of sweetness and flavour….. take away banana cake which thoroughly enjoyed on train home…. Amazing recommendat... Voir le carte
