Luv food, drinks & dessert x Bit need air conditioning inside restaurant THE SAMBAL! too hot n humid inside dining room
Delicious food at a very reasonable price. I would definitely eat at The Sambal again.
Indonesian food is my favourite cuisine and The Sambal did not disappoint! A nice little unpretentious spot with wonderful service and delicious food. We had the beef Rendang, the Cumi Bakar (grilled calamari), the Can Kangkung (an exceptional water spinach dish) and the Gulai Adam (chicken curry) - all of which were fantastic. Our server persuaded me to order the crème brûlée with durian (which I normally can’t stand the smell of) - it was superb as the smell actually translated to a really nice flavour. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
I went here with my uni society and everything was amazing! The staff were very helpful and kind, the food was delicious (and didn't cost an arm and a leg) and the wait times were not long at all.
It was very enjoyable meeting with 10+ Friends the service and food was very good. A very enjoyable evening
Great food - variety to keep veggies, meat eaters and coeliac happy. Some portions a little small but flavours made up for it and 4 adults fed and 2 drinks for $40 a head

Fresh Indonesian food, cafe atmosphere, service friendly cheap and cheerful.
A great little restaurant. Food is very tasty and quick to serve. Very good service from the staff. The only criticism if you could call it would be the stools....a bit hard for ladies of my vintage lol. Otherwise excellent service and food.
Good food, friendly service, and reasonable portions. Rather quiet while we were there, and the ambiance isn’t anything special, but a good dining experience.
Impeccable service: friendly, professional, accommodating. Great taste (and I'm an Indonesian so I know what I'm talking about!). Great value for money. Very happy to have found this gem!
Interesting variety, distinctive tastes, fair prices, friendly service and not too noisy.
