The Samba on Kent Street is a hidden gem—a cosy, hole-in-the-wall, family-run restaurant serving some of the most delicious Indonesian food I’ve had in Sydney. The eggplant, caramelised anchovies, nasi goreng, roti, and beef rendang were all top notch—bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. Every dish was a standout. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indonesian cuisine.

We had dinner here on a Saturday night, but this place made me regret I don’t work in the office. Don’t skip the eggplant sambal or roti!

Loved the Sambal...the service was quick reasonably priced and the choice of sambal was amazing. We had the chicken liver sambal, which was unique and delivered. There is also free sambal which you can help yourself to. They also have sambal that you can buy...great experience will be back!

인도네시아 친구한테 물어보고 시드니 여행 첫날에 먹은곳 한국인들이 잘 안가는 음식점들만 골라 다녔기에 진짜 맛있게 먹고 왔음, 내가 시킨건 나시고렝과 이름이 기억안나지만 인도네시안 친구가 소개시켜주기를 나 운동하니까 단백질먹어야한다며 갈비찜같은거 소개시켜줘서 먹었는데 고기가 너~무 부드럽고 좋았음! 그리고 with Bingtan!!

Got a stir fry with a tonne of veggies which was great, not a light meal if you were wondering because it was very oily, had a small serving of prawn crackers on the side which were kinda stale ngl. Beef sambal was thick and heavy with flavour, delicious. Stir fried water spinach was juicy.

Beef randang one of the best I've had in Sydney. Tender and clearly use lots of real spices. Roti pradda pretty good too, crispy and flakey, perfect match. Really hit the spot.

Always come back here for the crème brûlée! The food here never disappoints - the meat here is so tender and spiced well, and the atmosphere reminds me of home.

Cute Indonesian restaurant, not sure how authentic the Indonesian food is but it tasted amazing! We had Gulai Ayam (chicken curry) with rice, Sambal teri cabai huau ( spicy anchovies sambal) highly recommend this, and salt and pepper squid ( this was okay). Will definitely visit again.
