Indo sari restaurant

Indo sari restaurant located right across the Glenthuntly train station, is a no-frills Indonesian restaurant. Once you step into the restaurant, basic table settings and decor greets you. Dishes from the open kitchen are served from the bain-marie.

On most days you will get a selection of Beef Rendang, Indonesian style fried Chicken, Potato and beans, tahu telor ( Egg and tofu in a "curry gravy"), curry chicken. You choose your dishes with rice. I will usually have the potato, tahu telor and maybe the rendang.

All in all the the food is GOOD, nothing fancy, very hearty, home cooked meals. Being an Indonesian myself, I reckon its pretty damn tasty Indonesian food. ( Some of my Indonesian friends even say that it is one of the best Indonesian food in Melbourne! i am not protesting here)

On Saturdays, Indosari, has a "phantom" menu, apart from dishes served up from the bain marie, they also serve up rare Indonesian treats. (At least in Melbourne)

On saturdays they usually also serve: Lontong Sayur, Bakmie Ayam, Nasi Kuning, Siomay Bandung.

I decided to have the lontong sayur rendang, for lunch, its a pretty heavy meal. You will get a tofu, an egg, rendang, potato, ikan bilis, kerepuk putih, some vegies.


Lontong sayur is especially gurih*, it reminds me of home instantly. It is just the kind you will get at the market in Jakarta. Terrific.

Food for thought: It is a bit difficult to get a seat on Saturdays, so do come early!
