“There is nowhere in the UK that makes Roti Canai the way we do at Roti King,” says founder Sugen Gopal.
“Our attention to detail, fresh British ingredients and a few secret techniques makes this the most authentic place to eat Malaysian food in the UK. I am beyond thrilled to see my cuisine and heritage becoming so popular in the UK and Lower Marsh is the perfect spot to bring Malaysian food south of the river.”
