This is an excellent place for takeaway during the current restrictions. Highly recommended
Love the chicken rice here, make sure you get the breast option unless you like eating your way through bones. First time I got the thigh and for that reason I enjoyed it less. I come here for the chicken rice but the other dishes are just as delicious. Lunch menus great value and have been here for dinner. Service is OK hence the 4 stars, but foods good enough to keep going back.
Can't complain with $9.90 lunch specials.
Combo Laksa was great, but wish I got the Beef Nasi Lemak my work mates got. That looks sensational.
We will be back.
This place is good, their chicken curry on nasi lemak is great, the sambal however is on the sour side. Their hainanese chicken rice is good..tried their claypot chicken rice, its too salty for me. Their ayam kadazan is not bad.
Kopi Tim is a little hidden gem on the outskirts of Chinatown. If you're looking for a authentic, family run Malaysian restaurant then look no further. I ordered the Chicken Laksa and my date ordered the Hainanense Chicken Rice. We were both happy with our food! Some feedback if the owners read this, some music in the back room would be nice (eerily quiet) and a slight clean on the walls (especially ones with the table adjacent to it!) Will be back to explore more of the menu :)
I've been several times and every dish I've had has been delicious. Their chicken laksa is amazing where the poached chicken is ALWAYS moist. Hainanese chicken rice is also good and the servings of beef rendang are huge! Since becoming a vegetarian I am excited to go back and try the vegetarian laksa and eggplant dishes.
Flavoursome, authentic, delicious! The cheap lunch menu is probably underpriced! I think the decor is inviting and warm creating a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and food oh so tasty! I love to order the chicken or beef curry and a second deliciously crispy roti to mop up the spicy sauce :)
The hainanese chicken rice, curry fish and the nasi lemak are to die for. New chef and new boss, likey their new menu- mamak style fried noodle! The customer service is way better than previous owner!
If you are looking for authentic malaysian food, this is the place! Tried a few dishes. They are delicious. Especially the curry fish head, rendang and the hainanese chicken rice! Delicious food and great service!
I love the lao shu fen (rat's tail noodles) in a clay pot, with tender chicken, juicy prawns and slightly crunchy on the bottom. Chicken rice is also good, especially the chili sauce. Big serves and reasonably priced. The decor is a conversation piece.

Hospitility. I can see what people mean by the service here - it certainly manages to rival BBQ City for both animosity and apathy. I attempted to call this place twice to confirm if they were open for lunch on a Wednesday but go no answer either time, even though they were indeed open. When I got there, I couldn't help but notice the derelict interior. Sitting down with my friend, I got a laugh when the infamous lady manager came over to us, unceremoniously dumped the menus on the table and asked us if we were ready to order before we'd even had a chance to even lift the cover. This is almost comedic! So given all this, how is it that the place is still so busy? The food must be good right? Well it's *okay*. I had the lunch special Nasi Lemak which was filling and cheap, but certainly not something I'd be dying to come back for. I will try the touted fish head curry next time, but I'm almost more keen to experience the kitchen dramas than the food. Might bring a Caucasian friend and ask for tap water!
Amoungst the best Malaysian food in Adelaide. Delicious and authentic food. The nasi lemak is delicious and so is the roti bread.. The setting may not be upmarket but if good Malaysian food is what you are after at a reasonable price then kopi Tim is where you will find it... If your after a fancy setting go to Singapore house or concubine where you will also pay 3 times the price.
Food =) environment =(. To start with, the interior design is quite dodgy, could do with some new decor/paint/whatever. but i must say, their food is pretty authentic. especially their fish head curry (THE BEST!), and kadazan fried chicken taste like those sold in "nasi lemak" stores in malaysia. pork spare ribs =/ just so-so
Kopi Tim - Hell Yeah. Having been to Kopi Tim on many occasions it's time to put my money where the food goes. This place always suprises me with its unique "Charm". Walking into the place you could be forgiven for thinking it is some king of mediteranian eatery, not Malay. My last venture there I finally managed to get organised enough to order ahead and get the fish head curry. I was not disappointed. Three whole snapper heads, floating in a delectable light coconut sauce complete with okra, eggplant and various other loveliness. Also, the salted fish and beanspout salad is highly recommended, for those of you that like your food a little fragrant, or in this case, stinky (in a nice way)
I have never had bad service here, perhaps a little slow at times but overall acceptable. I go there for the food, and if you are looking for atmosphere, i suggest you BYO.
One of my favourite places of Gouger Street, and that in its self is an extraordinary effort.
I tried Kopi Tim for the first time a few years ago on the advice of my brother-in-law, who is a chef. Apparently the fish head curry is amazing, though I've never tried it, I'm not that adventurous. I've been about 15 times, often for a quick laksa on the way out somewhere, but I've also tried many of their other dishes. I love the food, and I've never had bad service. It's certainly not silver service, but for an authentic, low-key and well-priced meal, this is my pick of gouger street. I'll keep coming back! (at least until the chef yells at me)...
Not brilliant but worth a positive vote. Traditional Malaysian dishes are the ones to order.
Beautiful. Like all restaurant there are a few classic dishes that makes the place stand out. in this place it is the curry fish head ( which you have to order 24hrs before ) and the deep fried chicken. other dishes are OK
On The Chopping Board
+4.5
My family and I have been coming to Kopi Tim for a few years and we have never walked away unsatisfied. Tonight on the menu was special fried chicken (Ayam Goreng), Char Kway Teow, Hainanese chicken and Roti Canai with curry sauce.
A wonderful place, clean and has fast service. Serving portions are enough and the taste is great! With the Laksa, the Malaysian version has a subtle taste compared to the Singaporean that I'm used to. Generally, I highly recommend this place.
Their lunch board specials enticed us yesterday at $10.90 for your traditional Malaysian dishes. It was super delicious, tasty and flavourful. Definitely have added this to the cheap eats list, service was decent and food came out hot and fast! I would recommend this place if you are looking for cheap tasty Malaysian!

I can’t get past how good the lunch time specials here are. Consistently good roti curry, flavourful Hainan chicken and satisfying Nasi Goreng. Very fair prices and very decent serves. One of my regular haunts
Sweet price and good foods. Curry is a bit spicy, but taste great. :-)
Reasonably priced good lunch menu. Ate 2 items as I was very hungry after a 13km hike.
Talk about a time warp as the venue has not been updated since the early 90s but I think it’s a good thing as it adds to the comfort abs authenticity of the restaurant. It was my first time to Kopi and the friendly service made recommendations which were delicious. I love Malaysian and the food here was as good as what you get in Malaysia- yum!
It's been forever since we've been back at Kopi Tim. Definitely have missed having Malaysian food! Overall pretty good!
.
Chicken satay: meat was tasty and super tender, but could have been a little bit more charcoaled. Still very good.
.
Lao shu fen: nicely done with tasty seafood and noodles.
.
Nestum prawns: love love LOVE this dish!! It's soooo good! The prawns were perfect 😍😃🤤.
.
Belacan kangkong: good belacan flavours with a mild amount of spiciness.
