They also served martabak, which is a thicker Indonesian pancake. I'm not sure if they made it themselves or if someone else did, but it wasn't as impressive as the ribs and beef. The martabak was too salty and the texture was too soft, not chewy enough. Overall, it's a good place to try Indonesian food. I also heard that their chicken noodles are good.

I also tried mie ayam, baso malang, nasi goreng, roti bakar, nasi oma, and sop buntut, and all of it was good. As an Indonesian, I can say the food tastes quite authentic. Additionally, the atmosphere of the place is perfect for catching up with friends. I will definitely come back.

A small but very hearty menu impresses with more than decent servings and great flavours. It felt like going on a journey to Indonesia without even leaving the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Highly recommend the Rendang, which packs a punch of spices and is just falling apart. Definitely coming back more regularly. Seb

Not a bad place to get Indonesian food in the city. I'm a massive fan of Soto Mie so I was glad to see that on the menu.

Sure, it doesn't taste like the ones I've had in Jakarta and the soup was lacking in the punchy flavour department but, it was still quite decent. The mie ayam wasn't too bad either.
