Warung Sambal Ljo

An almost authentic Indonesian restaurant with pretty extensive menus. They have a limited hot bar dishes perfect for quick take away or dining. The fried rice was excellent, too bad the fried chicken that comes with it was a little dry. Mee rebus was delicious too. Food - 7 Service - 6 Vibe - 6 Price - $$

Love this place. Really authentic Indonesian food served well and with a smile. Great for a quick lunch or tasty dinner. Menu is full of Indonesian classics and all of them taste great. The rendang is great, as is the nasi goreng. Well worth a visit if you’re in South Melbourne. Friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.

South Melbourne is full of local gems and this is no exception. The ayam bakar was delicious, nice grilled flavour, cheap and well portioned. The sambal was spicy so be careful. Sate chicken was smothered in sauce, just the way we like it. We also tried this fried tofu thing with veggies and it was amazing. Crispy batter on the outside and soft tasty veggies inside. Cannot wait to go back.

Homey Indonesian food. The fare here is like you'll find in many streetside eateries across South East Asia. There is a decent selection of food to choose from, srved alongside a very generous portion of rice. The star of the dishes is the ubiquitous sambal. Spicy, fragrant, flavorful. Three viands and rice will only set you back $13. At that price point, it's great for students, backpackers, and penny pinchers. But frankly, on a budget or not, the food here is worth the money. The staff is friendly and you can't go wrong no matter what dish you choose.
