Went there for dinner on Saturday and was really impressed! The service was fast and the staff were warm and friendly. The peanut sauce that was served was made the traditional way and not peanut butter because you can taste the spice mixture that was used in the sauce.
The Gulai Domba Aceh was a flavour bomb! It was thick, spicy and the lamb was tender. Highly recommended. The sup buntut was rich, comforting and hearty. The oxtail was fall off the bone tender.
I understand that the portions that may seem a little small for most people but these are normal portion sizes served in Asia. The possible rationale for the prices despite its portions is that you must understand that a lot of the dishes take a long time to cook and the process is quite arduous. You definitely can't get that kind of flavour by frying the spice mix for 15 minutes, chuck some meat and call it a day. The cut of meats used are also not cheap either. I suppose you can defray some of the cost by ordering the sharing meals for two.
I will still patronise this restaurant because it is very difficult to find authentic Asian restaurants in Brisbane, what more specifically Indonesian food. I would definitely recommend it and I hope you will give it a try. :-)
Came and had vegetarian dish about 5.45 on a weekday. Nice pyramid of rice and chilli fish, very well presented and tasty. Nutty sides and eggs.
Great food, friendly staff! More indo than most restaurants claiming to be Indonesian and are more Malay-Chinese.. Definitely worth going back.
