Cook your way through these iconic dishes and discover the secrets, flavours and vibrancy of Malaysian food and its neighbouring influences. You’ll find yourself coming back to Roti King again and again.
SUGEN GOPAL
Sugen Gopal was born and raised in Ipoh in Malaysia, where in the family restaurant, his parents showcased their love of authentic Malaysian cuisine. Inspired by the food of his childhood, Sugen moved to London and created the first iteration of Roti King at Oriental City (now Bang Bang Oriental) in Colindale. In 2014, Sugen opened the first Roti King site in Euston, serving a simple menu of Malaysian classics at affordable prices. Following a rave review in The Guardian the same year, Roti King was cemented as a must- visit foodie destination for those in the know.
