Whenever given the choice, we’d always avoid a queue. But at Roti King in Euston, a queue is not only inevitable, but completely worth it. Yes, they’ve opened spots in Battersea and Waterloo that have a significantly shorter wait time, but there’s something about this original spot’s basement dining room, with its sharing tables and one-person window nook that makes it magical. Plus the Malaysian classics are excellent too. By 5pm the queue is 20-people long, and the staff—even with the stream of people—are smiley and welcoming. Once you try the roti canai you’ll understand why this spot is named after it. Behind a glass screen, roti is oiled, stretched, and thrown on the grill, before it’s scrunched and delivered to you alongside creamy dahl. The food comes out quickly and is devoured even more quickly, so just make sure you have a couple of those soft, flaky rotis on your table (if you’re only getting one, pick the beef rendang), and the kari laksa if it’s glove weather. It’s an in-and-out operation, so plan to be moving on from this spot 45 minutes after you sit down. Just know that a dinner here is short, sweet, and filled with some of London’s best Malaysian food.
