We’ve been following Mandy Yin’s Sambal Shiok, which has seen her signature laksa pop-up everywhere from Fitzrovia to Finsbury Park over the past few years, so we’re very happy to hear that she has a permanent site opening this summer. It’s going to be on Holloway Road, just a few doors down from Zia Lucia, and will be a specialist laksa bar focusing on Malaysian Nyonya curry laksa.
There’s also going to be a few rice dishes such as beef rendang, snacks such as Malaysian fried chicken, and eventually a brunch menu featuring Mandy’s famous chicken satay burger. Zeren Wilson will be in charge of the all-Riesling wine list, a tried and tested partnership that goes back to their Laksa Nights pop up at The Newman Arms back in 2015.
Opening summer 2018
171 Holloway Road, London, N7 8LX
