Zheng

Zheng’s menu spans Cantonese, Sichuan, and Malaysian cuisine—and a bracket we’re going to politely call ‘original’. Do your best to ignore the creamy wasabi sauce and the toasted almonds on top of king prawns and focus on the Malaysian part of the menu, because it’s pretty good. This is by no means London’s best Malaysian restaurant but it’s a Chelsea date night favourite for good reason. The room is moodily lit, the satay is tender, and there’s plenty to please everyone. Its SW3 prices are more than your average rendang but if that’s no bother, Zheng is a solid spot for any occasion.
