What Steve D doesn't like about Lestari Resto:
First impressions of this establishment were not good. The upstairs sit down area had the ambiance of a third world factory canteen. My friend ordered a stir fry which looked quite good, but he said was fairly oily. I ordered chili and soy chicken with rice. It was supposed to be chicken breast but what I received was obviously reheated boiled rice that was crunchy and the chicken breast was worryingly small bones wi... View all feedback. What mrdom likes about Lestari Resto:
The serves are huge so, although the prices aren't that low, you can get great value if you want a lot of food. I was pretty impressed with the bakmi goreng, with lots of tasty meat and a good flavour except for lots and lots of salt (glad I got the spicy version to overwhelm the salt a little).

Food is great but why nooo tofu??? Plus now they are not giving tofu and still increased the price ! The lady on the counter could be more friendly.

Lestari, a hidden gem tucked away in Ultimo, offers a variety of delicious Indonesian dishes. The restaurant is known for its standout Nasi Goreng, with many reviewers praising the flavorful and generous portions. Despite some inconsistency with opening hours, the overall dining experience is worth the effort to find this establishment. The menu offers a wide selection of rice and noodle dishes, all cooked fresh and without the use of microwaves. Some reviewers recommend ordering ahead for takeaway due to potential wait times during peak hours. Overall, Lestari is a must-visit spot for those craving authentic Indonesian cuisine with great value for money.

Tucked away down an alley Lestari is definitely worth finding for a quick, cheap and delicious eat. It appears that Nasi Goreng is the house specialty. I had mi...
