About Kelapa Gading - Authentic Indonesian Restaurant
Kelapa Gading is an Indonesian restaurant in Beckenham, found at 168 Upper Elmers End Rd. The kitchen cooks Indonesian food, and pepes is the dish to look for: spiced fish steamed in banana leaf. That dish gives the menu a clear point of focus, with fish as the main ingredient and the banana leaf as the wrapping it is cooked in. Diners who want to try an Indonesian preparation with a specific method behind it can start with pepes. The restaurant serves Indonesian cuisine as its single style of cooking.

“You should visit this place. I had the pepes (steamed fish) and the pacel sayur and the tempeh mendoan and the Soto sapi. All delicious. I would order about 2 dishes per person and be ready for a delicious explosion of interesting flavours. I think I will return.”

“I’ve dined here multiple times, and it is easily one of the most authentic Indonesian restaurants in the city. I even used their student catering for their amazing fried chicken and corn fritters, and the food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone craving a genuinely great meal, definitely a must-try even for the locals! 🇮🇩🍗✨”

“I don't typically write reviews but after visiting this restaurant I was simply compelled to. To say this is the most authentic and amazing Indonesian food I have ever had in the West would be an understatement. The flavours are bold and rich. It really gives me the feeling and memories I had in my many visits in Indonesia. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, making the experience that much more pleasant. If anyone craves authentic Indonesian food, this is the place to go to. I know for certain I'll be coming here many many times.”
