The restaurant will open its doors on December 12 at 8 South St Andrew Street, serving up authentic Malaysian street food in the heart of the capital.<\/p>\n

Roti King promises to deliver an authentic experience where guests can watch roti being hand-stretched and cooked to order in the open kitchen.<\/p>\n

Signature dishes include roti canai, served with dhal, chicken, mutton, or fish kari.<\/p>\n

Other highlights are the Char Kway Teow (rice noodles stir-fried with prawn and egg) and the Malaysian fried chicken, marinated in garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, then crisped with cornstarch and rice flour, served with homemade spicy sambal.<\/p>\n

The interior design is said to be a celebration of Malaysian craft, featuring bespoke murals and graffiti inspired by the streets of Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Founder and chef, Sugen Gopal moved to the UK in 2004, setting up shop in the form of a small kiosk in Oriental City in Colindale. A decade of hard work, pop-ups, and residencies later, Gopal opened his first restaurant in Euston in 2014, one of four locations now in London (Waterloo, Battersea, Spitalfields).<\/p>\n

Following recent openings in Brighton and Spitalfields, the Edinburgh launch marks the next step in Roti King\u2019s nationwide expansion.<\/p>\n

Ganan Kanagathurai, CEO says: \u201cRoti King has always been about more than food. It\u2019s about the emotional connection between people, culture, and community. We\u2019re excited to be part of Edinburgh\u2019s incredible independent food scene and to share the passion and creativity of Malaysia with a city that appreciates honest, authentic, flavourful food.\u201d<\/p>\n
