What tsamaya doesn't like about Makan Café:
This restaurant offer both fast food, and sit-down restaurant à la carte. The Malaysian cuisine is declined on the menue and also ready to have fast dishes. It is not expensive and full of flavours. View all feedback. What Kamren Daugherty likes about Makan Café:
A message from Christine Enterlein on December 19, 2013: During my short stay in London from Tuesday until today I always had my lunch at Makan: I love everything about your place! Great food vibes, very friendly staff!! Thank you! View all feedback.

Abundant dishes, vegetarian food, good quality and good price, offer free water. It's good to eat fast and cheap, about 7 pounds.

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