About Triple Hot Spicy - Indonesian Street Food
Triple Hot Spicy - Indonesian Street Food is an Indonesian restaurant in London, at 20 Strutton Ground, with a small street-food menu built around a house-made sambal. The coconut rice dish nasi uduk comes with red sambal, tempeh, anchovies and peanuts. Ayam penyet brings smashed fried chicken to the table, and soto ayam is a chicken broth soup with rice and noodles. Indonesian songs play as the music. A small section at the back sells Indonesian snacks to take away.

Customer Review Summary
Coconut rice is the dish reviewers raise most, served with red sambal, tempeh, crispy anchovies and peanuts, and described as perfectly spiced. Close behind are the beef rendang, called rich and tender by one diner and chewy but enjoyable by another, and the ayam penyet, which one reviewer says they cannot match even in Jakarta. Others praise the bakso meatball soup, a seafood laksa packed with prawns and tofu, fried chicken with mango chilli, and es dawet or cendol as a refreshing finish. The menu is small, the green chilli sambal is house made, and the room is described as cozy and homely, with Indonesian songs mixed with Western tracks. The main complaints concern lunchtime ordering, which one diner found chaotic and unclear, with a long wait before anyone took their order. Another found the music quite loud and the tables close enough to make walking through tricky when busy, and one reviewer felt the taste was not the best. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and several mention small snacks, including sweet melinjo, brought out to tide them over while the food was cooking.

“Great Indonesian restaurant in London. Had lunch here with my wife and ordered the Nasi Padang, Nasi Uduk, and Bakso. All of them were delicious. The real highlight for me was definitely the Es Dawet, finding it here along with Es Teh was a big plus. Just a heads up, there were market stalls set up along the road out front when we visited. Definitely worth a visit if you live in the UK or happen to be in the area.”

“Really nice place if you're craving authentic Indonesian food! The menu isn't huge, but I'd love to see more dishes like gado-gado or urap in the future. We ordered nasi uduk or coconut rice (for a moment I thought I'd accidentally ordered nasi lemak! 😆 Then I remembered nasi uduk is Indonesia's coconut rice, and it actually is quite similar to nasi lemak, haha), the seafood laksa, and a cendol. The laksa was sooo good! I always thought laksa was only from Malaysia, so it was a nice surprise to find an Indonesian version. It was packed with prawns, tofu, and lots of other ingredients, and the broth was rich and full of flavour. The cendol was refreshing too! I also loved the music, they were playing Indonesian songs, including classics from Nidji, which made me feel so nostalgic. The only thing I'd suggest is turning the music down a little, as it was quite loud. The tables are quite close together, so it can be a bit tricky to walk through when it's busy. They also have a toilet, and there's a little section at the back of the restaurant selling Indonesian snacks like Maicih. It's in a strategic spot, you'll probably notice it on your way to and from the toilet, so it's hard to resist having a look! Our total came to £31 for the two of us, including three items: nasi uduk, seafood laksa, and cendol. I thought that was pretty reasonable for the quality, portion sizes, and overall experience. Overall, a lovely place with tasty food and a cosy Indonesian vibe. I'd definitely come back!”

“A Wonderful Taste of Indonesia at Triple Hot Spicy Today, we were planning to visit Toba for their bottomless brunch at 2:35pm, but unfortunately the kitchen had already closed. Luckily, the team at Bija Coffee Shop recommended Triple Hot Spicy, and we’re so pleased they did! From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome from Fifi, who went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. She kindly brought us a starter to share while we waited, which was a thoughtful gesture and meant we didn’t have to wait too long for our food. The food was absolutely delicious and reminded me of how authentic Indonesian food is supposed to taste. We ordered the beef rendang, coconut rice, iced tea, desserts, and some snacks to share, and every dish was excellent. A particular highlight was the coconut rice served with red sambal, tempeh, anchovies, and peanuts—it was simply heavenly. The combination of flavours and textures was perfect, with the fragrant rice, spicy sambal, crispy anchovies, crunchy peanuts, and savoury tempeh creating a truly memorable dish. The beef rendang was also rich, tender, and packed with flavour. What impressed us even more was that the restaurant was run by only two staff members, yet the service was efficient, friendly, and attentive throughout. They worked incredibly hard and still made every customer feel welcome. If you’re looking for authentic Indonesian food, generous hospitality, and fantastic flavours, I highly recommend Triple Hot Spicy. We will definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family. A hidden gem that brings the true taste of Indonesia to the heart of the city. 🇮🇩❤️”

“Always wanted to try authentic indonesian food, finally had the opportunity! Everything was incredible so flavourful. My first time trying sambal made out of green chillies, it was so delicious and spicy. The sambal is special house made. The atmosphere is lovely, cozy and homely environment. We also had tempeh fritters served with green chillies reminded me of street food back at home.”
