“ Absolutely delicious and cheap food, I'm glad I popped in! I had the broth with wontons and tofu which was so tasty! Sometimes there's more seating at the back when it looks like it's full, so it's worth going back to see. I can't wait to come back! ”

“ A local cafe with a stylish touch, delicate coffee, and a peaceful ambiance. Ngopi also serves unique savory dishes. The peanut sauce salad and fried fish cake pair nicely with a coffee latte. ”

“ Ngopi is a gem! Delicious kopi and lattes, plus roti bakar (thick toast) that’s quite unique and delicious. Friendly staff and a cosy vibe make it a true neighbourhood favourite. A rare taste of Indonesia you don’t often find in London. ”

“ ordered iced kopi susu, iced matcha latte, martabak and batagor. iced kopi susu 8/10 - people who like a strong coffee taste with some sweetness at the end will like this drink! iced matcha latte 8/10 - looks light so i was a bit wary but it has a strong matcha flavour and very smooth, not bitty or grainy at all. martabak (bottom right) - my favourite dish, so delicious and feels like a comfort food. the sauce also pairs well, would definitely recommend! batagor (bottom left) - the different textures were super fun to eat. the sauces on top were delicious and the wontons were perfectly crispy. service was super fast, the workers here are so sweet and helpful (they let us borrow their stapler for a ripped bag). location of the cafe is lovely, on a quiet road. only thing that may be not positive is that the seating area is quite small so might be difficult to sit down and eat properly but that’s out of their control. will definitely be back one day!! ”

“ I can tell you that the bakso (meatballs) and its broth is authentic and tasty. And I can also say that the Indonesian coffee beans are exquisite (bought some to take home). Service is also warm and friendly. The only fault with Ngopi is the ambiance, where the smell of cooking oil really makes it quite unpleasant to dine-in. Management should upgrade the commercial suction fans or remove the cooking from the vicinity all together. Will I knock off a star for that? No. But it'd be nice for this to be addressed since I'd love to come back, sit down comfortably and try their other dishes. ”

“ The place is very cozy although it’s small. I ordered iced matcha coffee latte, ayam cabe ijo, and tahu isi. The latte and tahu isi were good. The chicken was a bit bland, unfortunately, and the sambal would be perfect if it’s more spicy. No complaint about the service. ”

“ One of the most unique and lovely café’s I’ve ever visited in London. Authentic Indonesian food and coffee made using authentic Indonesian coffee beans. The Indomie (Indonesian instant noodles) was amazing, as was the Roti Bakar (thick toast cooked with butter topped with condensed milk, grated cheese and chocolate). If you’re around Dalson, I’d really recommend checking this place out! ”

“ One of the best choice to try Indonesian food. They have great ketoprak, bakso malang, nasi ayam penyet, pempek, tempe mendoan! The place is a little too small to dine-in, but you can also do a take-out. ”
