Monggo Restaurant

we had ordered a rijstafel but the portions were extremely small and not very exciting - only 4 dishes - 2 tiny chicken thighs, 3 tiny salted fish, 5 blocks of fried tofu and some beans in peanut sauce, then dessert with a few banana fritters and 1 piece of cake - with a pan of steamed rice and vegetables (the only item that was adequate). On the whole, not very good and extremely expensive. We will not go there again.

Mie goreng was better than Indonesian... will definitely eat here again next time I from Indonesia..

Service was slow but we found the food delicious 👍🏻

The waitress was friendly and provided fantastic service. The entrees were tasty but the mains were disappointing. The area we sat in was near the front entrance and it was freezing. We would go back due to the location and thr friendly waitress however we would only order appetizers.

I have been to Monggo a few times and have always enjoyed my meal, but last night our dishes came out one at a time, a dish was forgotten, we returned a few dishes as they were lukewarm.. We had to ask a couple times for our sharing plates while our food sat in the middle of the table for 10 minutes. The dishes didn't come with serving spoons which we then had to take from the empty table next to us. I felt very sorry for the one waitress who was trying to serve the whole restaurant. I'm sorry for this negative review, but we were all very disappointed.

Amazing food, couldn’t recommend enough, everything we ate was fantastic

Cosy restaurant, food was tasty, good service, close to theatre

Not too busy today, looked after by friendly staff. We all enjoyed our food. Bebek murtabak was delicious.

Food is always scrumptious and staff are lovely but they could have done with 1 more wait staff

Great food but had to wait a long time for the main meal.

Good service good value for money, beef rendang was excellent,

The Mercon was different to what's being described on the menu, very disappointed, it tastes like sweet and sour chicken balls. And the Kari Ayam sauce was too sweet, I don't like sweet curries, it taste like a dessert to me. The roti paratha was a flop too. I don't think it's good value for money. The glass window and main entrance glass door need a good wipe, they are full of greasy finger prints and blocking our view and we couldn't look through the prints.

Monggos used to be our favourite restaurant. Now the 1 waitress is incapable of maintaining everyone's orders and clearing up. Every table is littered with dishes, and clientele need to serve their own menus etc. Employing an extra waitress would probably do wonders for repeat customers.

Food was great and a lot of choice to choose.

Good place to try some different things We usually order everything on the starters menu to share That way we get lots of different food experiences

Great food and BYO and reasonably priced. Happy to return

The food is fantastic! Even the vegetarian options are super tasty.

Great food, a pleasant dining experience, well worth a visit.

Very nice. We enjoy Indonesian food and good to find a local quality restaurant.

We can fully recommend this restaurant. We had delicious beef redan , slow cooked duck and mei goring. Good service. Very enjoyable. Parking was not a problem.

Food was lovely and very cheap which is a bonus! BYO and bottle shop near by. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the food

The food was delicious, however it appeared the place was short staff for a busy night and affected the service and time to serve to get orders or to get food out.

Food and service pretty good, a bit on the pricey side for the size of the serves. It was very quiet the evening we were there and main meals were not all served at the same time.

Very very nice food. Will definitely go again!! The chicken wings are to die for and the vegetarian dumplings were soft and delicious. A hidden gem

Unfortunately, we seem to have caught them on a tough day (Christmas Eve): I believe they were understaffed (long waiting times for drinks and entrees) and that the chef may not have been at his best (Jakarta nasi goreng was burnt and the egg white on the tahu talor was still raw and runny). On the up side, the staff remained polite and the (deconstructed) lumpia basah bogor was a treat.

I love going to Monggo and have been a number of times. It is my go to place for inviting others for a delicious, all time favourite for many of friends and family. My favourite is the gado-gado with tofu and tempe, with sambal balado for a bit of spiciness. My partner loves the ayam bakar madu (chicken wings) and the satay ayam (satay chicken sticks). Fried rice, mee goreng, bihun goreng, lumpia all also a treat. A delicious place!

Amazing and super tasty food, great service with a smile and speed and always accommodating to our three kids! Love this place and always go back

Absolutely terrible. We waiting an hour and a half for our entree’s to be served. When they were finally served they were cold. We didn’t hang around for our mains. The restaurant was full of hungry upset diners. Whoever owns this restaurant needs to hire more staff

We have been to Monggo's many times on a Saturday night. Last night we were disappointed with the service. The one girl was run off her feet. We had to help ourselves to wine glasses and water glasses from another table. Then when our duck came out it was not very hot. Think the manager needs to employ another staff member.

Little gem in Mount Lawley - authentic Indonesian and Malaysian food

Food was lovely as always and great service. Only one waitress which was a shame because she seemed to be run off her feet. She did well though.

We have eaten several times at Monggo and always had great food😀😀 We bought two friends tonight and they were very impressed. We will be back.

Great food unfortunately the service was slow only one or two people trying to run the service for the full restaurant. Dishes came out one or two at a time.

Fantastic food in a causal environment. Fast and friendly. Happy to have kids and babies. BYO is good too. Will come again. Local treasure. Thanks

Great food Reasonable prices The poor waiter was alone, he had to take orders, clean tables , serve and man the cash register. While it was hard going he never got flustered and always smiled. Well done !!!

We are regulars at Monggo and always take clients here because the Indonesian food is fantastic and there are more vegetarian options that most other restaurants.

great food. we go there regularly and grrat value for money.

Great cuisine, great food, have been here a few times and will keep coming back. We regularly take our company clients here for meals too.

Their food is always outstanding, but the wait staff are short. They need to employ 1extra person over a Saturday Night. My food came and had to wait for the 3 other meals for 14 mins, I actually sent mine back for a new plate to be brought out with their food.

Beautiful food with very good efficient service. Room did become noisy when tables where full. Reminder that it is BYO and that some tables are shared.

Great atmosphere - was good to have a quiet meeting and dinner on a Tuesday night. The food was good but some of the side dishes were very hard and tough to bite into. We took the set dish and it was a great introduction into Indonesian food.

Very delicious food, very friendly service! We love Monggos it's amazing always. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of going there. Get down!

Great food, limited parking but very genuine as long as you can handle the traditional Indonesian music, which we could. Needs five extra words here.

We had the me goreng, fish and a veggie dish, the food was amazing and fresh. Polite and attentive staff, we will be coming back.

While service was a little slow, no doubt due to the Christmas crowd of diners also present, the food was great. Well worth a visit!

We really enjoyed the Great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, with the waitress being prompt and helpful in explaining the menu to us. Will definitely be recommending this restaurant to our friends. Thank you

We usually go to this restaurant prior to a show at the Astor theatre. Service is always good and prompt. What we do is we order dishes from the Entree menu and share them. This gives a variety of tastes and they are generous enough to share out and taste a bit of everything. Pair these with some Nasi Goreng, and it is great. They do not have tea or coffee, so we usually head 50 metres down the road for waffles and coffee afterwards. Really tasty food at reasonable prices.

Hospitable service and great food. The setting was great for hosting guests, family and friends. I will definitely be coming back again soon for the duck dishes

Very disappointing. Small portions of uninteresting food. We ordered a chicken/vegetable dish. It was dull, minuscule pieces of chicken and not many of them in a broth with very small pieces of vegetable. The raita was excellent. We won't be going back.

I think they present a menu to a price, won't ever do their Scoopon again. Their normal menu looked much more interesting, I don't feel there should be a separate & special Scoopon menu for Scoopon customers!! It was weird especially for share dishes eg a piece of chicken leg, some piece of chicken sitting on some sort of puréed sauce, some strange anemic strips of prawn cracker stuff with a small touch of chilli dipping chutney. No just wasn't good enough
