About Ngopi - Birmingham

Ngopi is an Indonesian coffee shop at 56 Dale End in central Birmingham, England, beneath the Priory Square shopping centre a short walk from the Bullring. It is the original location of the Ngopi brand, now also known for a smaller second branch that opened later in Dalston, Hackney, London, already listed separately in this directory. Ngopi was founded by Birama Gladini and his wife Elmira Hamdi, a married couple originally from Jakarta who had previously run a coffee shop in Indonesia before relocating to the UK. Gladini completed a master's degree in Enterprise Systems Management at Birmingham City University in 2016 and was endorsed by the university to remain in the country under the UK's Graduate Entrepreneur visa route, which gave the couple the standing needed to set up and run the business locally. The name Ngopi translates roughly to "let's have coffee" in Indonesian. The shop's coffee program centers on Toraja Sapan, a specialty bean grown in Indonesia's South Sulawesi highlands, which staff roast in-house using an Indonesian-made Froco roasting machine, a detail that distinguishes it from Birmingham's larger chain coffee shops. Alongside coffee, Ngopi serves Indonesian light meals including bakwan vegetable fritters, curry puffs, martabak, batagor, and rice dishes such as nasi padang with beef rendang, plus Indonesian-style drinks like es kopi susu and teh tarik. The shop's own delivery-platform listing shows it still actively trading as of 2026, with a strong 4.7 rating from more than 70 reviews, though that same platform places it in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter rather than the Dale End address given by other directories, a discrepancy this listing flags rather than resolves. Opening-hours listings for the shop also disagree with each other on the exact weekday and Sunday schedule, so hours and phone number are left unconfirmed here pending a more current primary source. This listing fills a second English city in the directory's UK restaurant coverage, alongside the existing London entries.
