I was sent a Xmas menu which my friend and I booked . The 3 courses were very enjoyable . Chicken satay to start . I opted for prawn green curry and my friend had the Malaysian beef curry . Both mains were very nice . We have been before to the Happy Lok and the food is always very good. Will be back

What a find! Recommended by a Malayan friend. Don't be fooled by the exterior, a lovely little restaurant, nice decor, fab staff - nothing was too much effort, attentive but not too attentive, food was just delicious and very good value too!
Andrew Townsend
Excellent food on a drab Monday lunchtime. Recommend the roti canai, Nasi Lemak and Sarm Bao Rice
