Shalom Indonesian Restaurant

Perfectly balanced peanut sauce 🤤 Used to visit more often when I lived closer, and have definitely missed these lovely Indonesian flavours. This time we came on a public holiday which meant surcharge, but this was balanced by the 10% off when paying with Payo. We had: * Sate ayam + nasi, $17 - chicken satay with steamed rice * Gado Gado, $14 - mixed salad with peanut sauce * Mie ayam pangsit goreng, $14 - mushroom chicken noodle with fried wonton * Es Cendol, $7 - cendol ice Seriously that peanut sauce was so moreish I'd be happy spooning it over plain rice and calling that a meal 👌

Cosy little Indonesian Restaurant in Sunnybank frequented by the local Indonesian/ South East Asian populace. While the service and ambience is below average, the restaurant's chef who hails from Surabaya makes up for it with some authentic Indonesian fare. When you are searching for authentic Indonesian food and see a restaurant packed with Indonesians, you know you have struck gold. It is uncommon indeed do you get a restaurant in Australia that does not modify the taste of it's food to suit Aussie taste buds.

Recommendation: Nasi Campur Shalom in Sunnybank is one of my favourite restaurants. It's our go to place when we can't decide what to cook for dinner. I must have ordered the Nasi Campur more than a dozen times since we discovered Shalom. I love the balance of textures and flavours on that plate. You get to try a bit of everything as opposed to just ordering the grilled chicken with rice. The entrees and soups are excellent as well.

Not a regular customer here. But after finish a job nearby and looking for something for lunch. Saw Shalom Malay resturant and gave it a try. Staff and service was good. So I ordered a beef curry with rice. Rice was well cooked, I am ok with that. But the beef curry just provided little amount of sauce (see photo), may be around 2 table spoons only. The beef was super tough, very hard to chew. For $13 meal, may be not worth it. A bit disappointed after a hard work in the morning.

Shalom is a restaurant that offer various Indonesian foods or dishes. Their foods are so delicious and the price of each dish is reasonable. If you like a (bit) spicy food, you should try their grilled chicken or duck with green chilli. If you're not a fan of chilli, you can always ask them to put the chilli aside. You also want to try their Oxtail Soup, it's so good especially during winter.
