Awana, the contemporary fine dining Malaysian restaurant is bringing authentic Malay street cuisine to the heart of Chelsea with their Street Food Festival throughout September, reflecting the multicultural ‘flavour’ of the country with skewers of tender satay, traditional breads, succulent lamb and fresh seafood.
