Review Jimbaran - Randwick

Love this Indonesia restaurant. The chicken fried / Ayam goreng kremes is one of the best. Mie goreng also very recommended. Nice! Try cendol as well

Beef curry was extremely bad value $21.50 for five chunks of beef, they were even stingy on the sauce. Nasi Goreng is pretty good there, give the rest of it a miss.

Great food and lovely service. Very nicely and elegant decorated. I personally think this is one of the best Indonesian restaurants i've ever tried in Sydney for the last couple years. Food is made with authentic Indonesian spices that make a very succulent result, rich of flavours and satisfying. With a very reasonable price and Bali ambience, the restaurant itself resembles the jimbaran touch that is just perfect.

God knows how long I've been looking for good authentic Indonesian food. I celebrated my birthday here. From the rich, traditional flavours of the beef curry, satay chicken and fish to the sweet, satisfying desserts, every bite brought me closer to heaven. I loved the fact that the dishes weren't westernised, which made the flavours stronger and the chilli dishes, were actually spicy! Jimbaran ticked all the boxes.

Good food, friendly service. The food taste otentic Indonesian cuisine. Normally I don't like lamb, but the lamb here is good because it doesn't have a strong smell. The beef rendang is a bit hard though.

Had a really good dinner in here, one of the best authentic indonesian food. Everyone should try the grilled king prawn, totally awesome! If you love seafood, should try this restaurant for sure. The satay is also one not to be missed. Highly recommended, friendly staff; met with the new owner, such pleasant guy!

With a very reasonable price and Bali ambience, the restaurant itself resembles the jimbaran touch that is just perfect, they could have overdone it by making things more western friendly but they got it just right Thumbs up to this small restaurant

What a surprise package. Brilliant Indonesian food. Every dish tasty and spicy in a different way and cooked by a lovely Indonesian lady who was proud that she was still cooking the way her grandmother taught her. This is the real thing. Seriously you wont find better.

This place is a gem for good Indonesian food. We tried the nasi goreng, bakmi goreng and stir fried chilly chicken and everything tasted so good. The spice was just right and it left us wanting for more. The staff were so sweet and courteous and kept checking if we liked the food. One of the best places we’ve tried in Sydney so far!

Located on a busy street in Randwick this place allows you to reminisce Bali. Jimbaran does indonesian classics. If you're seeking a great indonesian meal, this is the spot.<br/><br/>We tackled two mains from the Chefs Suggestion menu.<br/>-BETUTU which consists of duck wrapped in spices and banana leaf ($24). Duck is really tender and flavoursome.<br/>-BABI GULING pork belly marinated with herbs and spices roasted and served with pickled vegetables ($26). Pork is succulent and really tasty.<br/><br/>Also had GADO-GADO steam mixed veggies and tofu served with home-made peanut sauce.<br/>All paired with white rice as it allows us to fully appreciate the flavours of these dishes.<br/><br/>Jimbaran has classic indonesian desserts and they also have Italian desserts to cater to more people. I had KETAN HITAM black sticky rice with coconut milk. Found this on the sweeter side.<br/><br/>I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Great find in the suburbs of Sydney 😍🤤

Very Nice food and very nice experience. They treat you like an important customer and willing to add more spice or decrease spicy, also a good place to celebrate your birthday. No cakeage fee

staff: super friendly and the owner keep asking about whether the food was okay or not<br/>food: food is okay. the fried rice and chilli paste is good<br/>vibes: feels like bali and indo

Great food and Great Service.<br/>I love the snapper pepes and Udang bakar, I think its the best snapper pepes and Grilled Prawn in Sydney....

Cute, homie and intimate! Since Pondok closed down 2 years ago, we've been seeking for a place that did proper ayam sereh (lemongrass chilli fried chicken) and terong balado (chilli eggplant) all around sydney and well...Jimbaran exceeded our expectations.<br/><br/>Excellent food and service, this is now our favourite Indonesian.

My host parent recommend me this place. Days after, me and my friend came to try. They have various kind of foods that you won't find in any other Indonesian restaurants. <br/><br/>We ordered sop buntut, gulai ayam, udang telur asin, lumpia udang, and rice. But, unfortunately the sop buntut already deleted from the menu list. <br/><br/>We liked the taste of the foods. Very authentic. The service was good. <br/><br/>Keep it up, Jimbaran! <br/>

We received very friendly and helpful service here, including free prawn crisps and water-aplenty! The light seafood curry, and gado gado were truly delicious.

Jimbaran is an Indonesian Restaurant in Randwick that has a huge menu. It also has gluten free options, vegetarian options, dishes that are nut free and you can also cater for your spice tastes by asking for more chili. It is also good for groups as there are banquet options ranging from $40-$60. <br/>In terms of the menu there are your typical Indo choices like nasi goreng, Babi guling and sate and heaps of entree and stir fries.<br/>We were seated, given water and some free prawn crackers. Prawn crackers were really nice! I ordered Pangsit cah which stir fried prawn and pork wonton with vegetables. Nicely braised veggies with 6 fried wontons. <br/>I also ordered pork sate which is 6 sate sticks. Really nice flavour and well cooked.<br/>My husband ordered Ayam Goreng which was large pieces of fried chicken which he really enjoyed. He also got Es Chandol which is a dessert drink, a traditional green jelly drink with coconut milk and palm sugar with ice. Not my thing, but he enjoyed it a lot. Owner is lovely and nice waitresses. They have Byo too.

Honestly, food here contains too much sugar and I personally am not okay with that. Could be really bad choices I made. Ordered chicken skewer and curry puff, Thai pad and mixed seafood in tamarin source. All were too sweet and I swear after a bite of each I felt full and sick simply because they were too sweet. Services are good but I am not okay with the flavor....sorry not to be mean but honestly it's one of my most disappointing food exp in Sydney.

This is hands down one of the best Indonesian fine-dining restaurant in Australia and one of only Three in Sydney. Two of them are in Randwick and the other one in Dickson Street near China Town.<br/><br/>We love their Chilli Eggplant dish, White bait, Martabak, Ayam Goreng Kalasan and their Ikan Bakar. Have not found any dish we don't like here.<br/><br/>Also worth noting is that they serve great deserts here.

Pretty good Indonesian meal. The martabak was pretty good considering the meat was filled and almost overflowing the wrap. What i liked was their soto ayam. Much better than the overpriced soto in the famous restaurant in the city. Reasonable price with a much higher standard than famous restaurants.

Had really nice food here over the weekend. Ordered ikan pesmol and cumi bakar, good presentation and taste nice. Will definitely come back again.

Suuuuuch good food! Setting is a little cramped but that closeness can be embraced to encourage good conversation. There's a liquor store nearby so don't worry if you forgot to bring your own from home.

The snapper (#66) had juicy flesh and a more-ish sauce. Our vegetable dish, the morning glory, was alright, but didn't seem particulary special to me, and seemed expensive ($15.90) for a vegetable dish, particularly

After surveying the menu, I chose rice with half a chicken cooked in coconut milk and lightly deep fried. Wow, was this amazing! Delicious, have never eaten anything like this before.

Amazing Indonesian food.♡. Went for dinner on Saturday<br/>1/11/14, with friends that have been regulars for years. <br/>The menu had so many great choices and all sounded delicious plus great value ,but for us the stand out dishes were....lemongrass chicken, So crunchy....lambshank curry lovely and tender. spicy...eggplant chill wow so spicy...salty eggs and prawns.<br/>Highly recommend this restaurant and owner Chris kept a close eye on all the diners needs throughout the whole evening. Will be back in the next few weeks with our family to share this dinning experience. Stay tuned :-)

Yum!. The lamb curry was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and falling off the bone.

Will be back! Great atmos.... Will be back!<br/><br/>Great atmosphere, service and delectable food. We had the morning glory, lamb shanks and grilled chicken - all had such gorgeous sauces and the meat was so tender. Highly recommended!

Fantastic. Ignore cheapskates who call this place expensive.....it's certainly dearer than the cheapo student Indo places in Kingsford....but it has 10 times the decor / service ....and better food. Love all the curry dishes especially. Rendang , Lamb Shank curry ... and the grilled chicken and kang kung are 2 must haves. Prices are about on par with a decent Thai restaurant. 5 of us ate loads on Mothers Day - total came to around $160 ...that's not expensive for great food in this town !

Expensive. Small portions. Whilst the food was tasty, the portions were not even small, they were tiny. <br/><br/>Jimbaran represents poor value for money and substandard service. <br/><br/>Once was enough for me. Tidak pernah lagi. No, never again. Plenty of better venues and choice nearby.

Authentic??. I don't think so. This place is overpriced - $7.70 for Sambel, or you could waste that money on 4 pieces of prawn crackers instead!<br/><br/>The food was average. Jimbaran is in Bali guys, not mainland Indo, stick to your name! <br/><br/>The two waitresses who helped us were friendly but when they had to ask their boss about our order/request on several occassions, it got pretty painful..<br/><br/>My rating: 1/10.

Best Indonesian restaurant in Sydney!. I stand by the title. Jimbaran, from any perspective is totally fantastic. The food is authentic and delicious, the price is VERY reasonable, and the atmosphere is excellent. Also, the hosts are so welcoming I found myself chatting to them between courses (practising my Indonesian).<br/>We have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions now, and with the vast number of choices for restaurants in Sydney, I think that is high praise.

Been here 6 times.... Been here 7 times. Consistant quality and service. They love my 87yo mum (born in Indonesia). Food is always great.

This place is a fantastically authentic Indonesian eatery. Service is excellent, outdoor area at the back is quiet and you've got to try the Morning Glory! Unreal!! Plus it's BYO! what more could you ask for?
