Bonda Kitchen Paddington

Explore an intriguing culinary escape at this popular, now-closed, Malaysian restaurant accessible through a discrete entryway on Sussex Garden. Celebrated for its delicious and diverse menu, it was one of the rare finds offering halal options, expertly merging traditional Malaysian cuisine with the British palate. Diners could expect a warm bowl of laksa, piquant chicken noodles, or a transformative serving of nasi lemak complete with robust sambal—a selection that stayed true to its roots. The restaurant’s dim sum offering, including gyoza chicken dumplings and chili chicken baos, added an enticing allure. For those who appreciate a touch of sweetness, the red bean paste sesame balls, known as onde-onde, stood out as a must-try delight. Service was consistently friendly and efficient, capturing the convivial spirit of this much-loved establishment.
