After five years of peddling laksa around London, Sambal Shiok founder Mandy Yin has found a permanent home for her Malaysian pop-up. Located in the heart of Holloway, this cool eatery serves up a mouthwatering array of laksa, from signature fried tofu and beansprout offerings to a king prawn and chicken extravaganza, and even a vegan aubergine version.

Open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday, this North London restaurant is the ultimate casual date night spot, offering a laid-back atmosphere and colourful interiors. Top that all off with its compact but carefully curated dry Rieslings - chosen specifically to complement the laksas - and you've got the perfect drinking and dining spot for a delicious and relaxed meal..
