This is not a typical Chinese Takeaway Restaurant, but a proper Malaysian Kopitiam. With higher prices, the food quality is really good. Although I expect to see a bigger portion or more ingredients given their prices, honestly.
On their menu, it is said that the Mee Goreng comes with Chicken and Fried Beancurd. Maybe they meant Bean Sprouts, which were there. Or maybe they meant Fish Tofu, which was there but I thought that was part of the extra Seafood. Whatever, I really didn't taste anything like Chicken.
If dine in, then cash only. Please note the restaurant could become extremely busy sometimes during lunch or dinner! Waiting for longer than 1 hour for some dishes is definitely possible, said by one of the staff.
P.S. (Answers to the Owner)
Thanks for your responses and yes, you got the right order. When ordering Mee Goreng, I only commented 'no onion and no spring onion' and ticked the option for Prawns and Seafood with £1 extra. Maybe my understanding was slightly different, I thought all the original ingredients would be there plus Prawns and Seafood if I paid £1 extra. No worry, next time I will make everything clearer when placing an order.

Found this absolute gem by complete accident. Being from Singapore not many things will ever satisfy or compare to an Ice Kopi with some Rendang. So happy to have found a Kopitiam in the UK with Authentic Malay food. Will most certainly return with all of my Family!

A lovely family ran eatery offering authentic Malaysian dishes. Food was flavorful with an interesting mix of spicy, salty and sometimes sweet notes. Generous portion size and friendly service. Limited seating inside so if you’re a large party, suggest booking ahead. Loved the kopi, which was almost like a chocolatey coffee. Good value for money. Would come back again. Cash only.

Most authentic Malaysian food in UK. No contest. Curry mee might even be better than some Malaysia local places. As a Malaysian, definitely recommended to give a visit if craving for Malaysian food.

As a Malaysian currently studying in Birmingham, Kopitiam definitely has the most authentic Malaysian food here. I've been here a many times now. The nasi lemak with rendang is so fragrant and yummy and is my go to order whenever i'm here with friends.

Recommended initially from my Malaysian friends who live outside of Birmingham! Homey environment with nostalgic tastes, and would heavily recommend the curries and rojak. Lots of available street parking.

Brought here by my malaysian friends, and it was so good! I especially liked the rojak and salted egg prawns!!! Char Kway Teow was also great. Hokkien Mee/Mie was of the black sauce/ thick noodle style, not the (Penang) style I was used to, so I can’t judge it. Hopefully one day they can serve Penang Hokkien Mee too?

Nothing to complain really. If you want to have very authentic Malaysian food, DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE! Amazing food, atmosphere and staffs!

Hidden away from view a little, this Malaysian restaurant is well worth searching for. Me and my friend had an amazing meal, the Malaysian coffee is excellent too. Not many veggie options but they were able to cater to me. Alot of dishes have shellfish so inform the restaurant in advance of allergies.
Definitely worth a visit. 4.5
