Decent food, but given the city location, portions were small given the prices.

Introduced Sambal to a colleague from the Netherlands. We all enjoyed our choices very much ( the rendang, the sate, the kikil, the dendeng balado and the sirop buah). Service is great, friendly and informative. Totally recommend this place when you are in the CBD. Do try the condiments that are available to purchase over the counter.

Cheap and cheerful. The food here is always tasty. Anything cooked in sambal is very tasty. As a tip, don't order too much rice! One serve feeds about 2-3 people.

Without a doubt the service was extremely friendly and the food was wonderful, real value for money. The restaurant was quite full and yet the dishes were delivered very promptly. Fantastic, casual dining experience. Evelyn, Peter and Erica.

There are two stairs at the door, so it's not convenient for wheelchair users. Food is delicious but too spicy, maybe a little adjustment is needed.

Pretty tasty selection of food at affordable prices. It’s hard to find quality food in the Sydney CBD area that’s price so well. Customer service was fine and food came out quite quickly.
