Just had Char Kwai Teow (seafood). It would taste better if you go easy on the soy sauce. It’s too salty, but it’s not bad, just too salty. If you can add lap cheung (Chinese cured sausage) - even a few slices - that would be great (and “authentic”). I think this isn’t something westerners won’t eat? Also hope you can use bean sprouts instead of cabbage. In any case, as long as you make it less salty, even without the other suggestions above, I will still order this again. The person who served me was very helpful. He reminded the time I would need to wait for my order before taking it. I would like to commend him on that.

Ordered the nasi lemak £10.99 for some authentic flavours of Malaysia is not a bad price. The rendang was very nice
DELICIOUS DONT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. Out of all the places we ate at in London during our trip, this one was BY FAR the best. It is the only place we returned to. Lovely service, delicious and authentic south East Asian food. Will be returning here next time I’m in London.
Absolutely delicious food. It's a great place to satisfy South Asian and South East Asian cravings. I especially enjoyed the chicken fried rice, chicken nasi gooren, and roti canai. Food comes fast, and tastes delicious. And the portion size is very generous. 10/10. 100% recommend giving this restaurant a try.
Best food. We ordered chicken biriyani and chicken fried rice. I am not exaggerating, but I believe Peninsula serves one of the best authentic South Indian style foods. Excellent!
Banana leaf rice was so good and very authentic too! Such a good variety of curries
I’m so glad that I came across Peninsula thanks to Deliveroo. I’ve never been in and eaten at the restaurant (I will, one day!) but I’ve now ordered from there twice and eaten at home. I’ve not disliked anything yet! My first order I just had the Devil chicken, veg dumplings and roti canai. The second time I tried the mutton curry with banana leaf rice and also the roti canai (loving their roti!). I’ve been happy both times. Tasty food, good portion size, all at a reasonable price - it’s a win win. I definitely plan to go and eat in at that Croydon Boxpark location someday soon.
