PAYA Cuisine (Highgate)

This is my favourite place for delivery- in fact, it's the only place I trust ordering from. The food is so delicious and fresh, and it arrives quickly. The offer very substantial portions for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend the hot and sour soup- it's the best I've ever had. If you are not a huge meet fan, the vegetarian mock duck is fantastic (I'm not a vegetarian, but it's too good to resist).

ordered delivery that was late in 30 minutes after they argued with me about my address, to the point they said they will be happy if I never order again. than I had to stand outside in the cold because he couldn't find the building. the food was not crispy nor amazing taste. prices are not cheap. very disappointed.
wouldn't bother.

A new favourite! My colleagues and I first ordered from here only this month and have since ordered food twice more. Collectively we have sampled and savoured a range of dishes: curries, stir fries, noodles and spicy rice. Each dish left everyone with much to rave about and wanting more. The takeaway portions are very generous. If you really like heat then I recommend the Malaysian stir fry. If a mild dish is more your thing then the Massaman curry and chow mein may be to your liking.

I seldom complain but felt compelled to.

I ordered on Deliveroo and it was 45 minutes late.

Further, this food has made me extremely sick; I have had food poisoning once in my life previously and it was nothing compared to the cramps, aches and excavation of fluids I’m now experiencing. I have had to take time off work and no one is taking responsibility from Paya.

If I could swear, I would. It’s an absolute disgrace and I can’t remember a time feeling so terrible.

The positive reviews ARE fabricated. They are either from “ghost accounts” or simply pasted. I imagine this is from their employees.

Never again. Please don’t go here; there are so many better quality and better priced options.

Staff were insulting. Food just about edible but poor quality. The battered fish was undercooked and the tofu overcooked. The prawn noodles had only 4 prawns in it. Neither dish had any vegetables in as stated in menu. Only used as other take always were shut. Very expensive rubbish for £18. Will not return.

I ordered for the very first time and won't be ordering again !
I got a Pad Thai which didn't really taste much like a pad Thai and was swimming in the sauce, the noodles were overcooked and soggy.
Dim sun's nice however overpriced !!! 5 x dim sum £7.95
I ended up paying almost £16 for the meal and did not enjoy it one bit (I only ate it because I was hungry)
I do not recommend ordering from this place !

I ordered in December 2022. Really happy with the food, good portions, and gave a positive feedback. I ordered exactly the same again in January 2023. It was £5 more expensive. The duck was half the size and tasted mainly of salt. The spare ribs were fatty and the little meat on it was like rubber, the sauce was disgusting, layered with onion. Seaweed was half the portion. So disappointed. I will not be ordering again.

The food is truly awful and very expensive for what you get. It’s easily the worst Asian food I’ve tasted. Every meals tastes exactly the same. There’s no real flavour to any dish just blandness. The food is really, really greasy and I felt sick after eating it. The business isn’t even owned by Asian people. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place as there are much better proper Asian food locally.
