Kawan opened in 2026 at 12 Macclesfield Street, W1D 5BP, Nigel Ng’s — Uncle Roger’s — first London kitchen after the fried-rice sermons. Hot Dinners had it Hot Right Now in August 2026. olive magazine sat the same door among the year’s best new London restaurants. The house Instagram pins the numbered street under the catchphrase, and the WhatsApp line holds the queue.
The little-known fact is the Wellington. Next to the fried rice the kitchen does chicken Wellington, a British joke written by a Malaysian comic who already knew how London orders comfort, not a tourist set menu. @kawanlondon is the live camera. The rice is why you go; Macclesfield Street is why it feels like London.
