Restaurants

I went to Satay House the other night and i must say, i had a completely different experience to that of other reviewers on this site. I went on a friday with a couple of friends from work and we had a fantastic time. It was pretty busy, and having not booked, we had a pint in the pub across the road before our meal. we all had satay to start with, which was delicious,and our main courses, a variety of curries and rice dishes, which we shared, were beautifully prepared and delicious.
Although the restaurant was busy, we found the service to be spot on - friendly waiting staff and we didn't wait for any of our courses to arrive.
I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you're going with friends, as it's nice and relaxed.

The food was stunning. The signature chicken satay is the best I have tasted by far and the lamb was full of flavour
Highly recommended if you are looking for authentic food a friendly service

I love this place and am shocked by comments below. Myself and my partner have had some delicious meals at Satay House...the service isn't always great when they're really busy but at least they're friendly unlike some places.
Also, The desserts are scrumptious!

It was a Saturday night and there was a really long line outside and we had to wait about 15 minutes. I was really looking forward to this night because my friend told me the roti canai and lamb satay here are really famous. As soon as we walked through the atmosphere was really loud . They took us downstairs and there people being really loud. Me and my family were sitting under the TV where they were showing some comedy. However the service was atrocious the waitress was polish and kept chatting to our neighbors and not working i ordered the lamb satay and the roti canai. the style and presentation was excellent. it tasted very good. For the main course i ordered the curry chicken which was not cooked well but the sauce was really good. this restaurant was really disappointing. The service is atrocious we had to wait for at least half an hour before anyone realized we were still waiting for the bill. So fed up i stormed up and went upstairs to the cashier and the waiter just kept smiling. i was shocked and i highly recommenced other more good malaysian restaurats like cnr or rasa sayang.
The service and food is much more up to standard. I highly recommend not to come here. I only gave it a star because it did serve something edible

My husband and I went for my birthday, because I love Malaysian flavours and this restaurant seemed to have good ratings. We left quite disappointed.
The service was abominable. The spring roll starter was generic at best; its sauce was the only redeeming factor. My Gado Gado was tasty, primarily if not wholly because of the sauce/dressing. My husband did not enjoy his curry, complaining that the chicken was of poor quality. He didn't finish it, which is unlike him and must mean it was truly poor (as a vegetarian, I didn't taste it myself).
We received our food about thirty minutes after the people next to us received theirs, and they arrived at the restaurant at least 30 minutes after we did. We sat and waited for what seemed like forever before we could catch the eye of a server to request the bill. We then waited for at least 15 minutes to receive it and another 15 minutes to pay with a credit card. Although we arrived at a generally early dining hour, we left so late that I was worried the tube might have closed.

Love love love this place! very good value and amazing food

The worst of the worst service. We were there last week and I was disgusted at the Waitress who all out ignored us. After an hour of waiting for our food in the near empty restaurant, we left.
Avoid them

Not sure when all the other reviews were made, but i went to Satay house last week after not eaten there for 5 years. The food was awful. Having been to other Malaysian/singaporean restaurants, I am not just being fussy about authentic Asian food, but every single dish we ordered was far too sweet to start with. The 'ayam masak merah' was nothing like its original dish - it was more like sweet and sour chicken instead(more sweet than sour). We were so dissapointed that we complained to the waitress, asking her to convey this to the chef. God knows whether she did or not as the chef never showed up. That is our last trip to satay house - the bill came up to about 14 per head which was a right rip-off, as we couldnt even finish our food. It has certainly gone downhill despite the fancy new interior.

Quite disappointing to be honest- nothing made an impression and considering the higher-than-average prices I would much rather spend less and eat better at places like C & R, Kiasu and New Fook Lam Moon.
Will not be going back.
