Malaysian Deli

Malaysian Deli, a friendly little spot in Brockley, always feels sunny. No seriously. It could be chucking it down outside but you’ll forget your umbrella on your way out. There are mustard yellow walls and warm smiles are given from the team behind the counter which is covered with the kind of bright floral table cover you’d find in your grandma’s house. The perfect solo portions of nasi lemak are served in bamboo trays, and while the beef rendang can be a little tough, the chilli-hot, tangy sambal makes up for it. Roti chanai, satisfyingly flaky and light, should be dipped in the chicken curry with no hesitation about getting messy—that part is inevitable. If you live in the area, take friends for a lengthy, wholesome catch-up. We have a feeling you’ll find yourselves here at least once a month for the cosy setup and great Malaysian food.
