I rate Shalom Indonesian Restaurant in Sydney City CBD as the best Indonesian restaurant in Sydney! I’ve traveled to Indonesia many times and have been eating at Shalom Restaurant for many years, as the food here is as authentic as you can find outside of Indonesia. This is a very popular Indonesia restaurant by local Indonesians, it is usually majority of people in the restuarant are from Indonesia.

Located on Sussex Street in the heart of Sydney CBD Central Busines District, just down from Sydney Chinatown. Shalom Restaurant was one of the first Indonesian restaurants to open in Sydney, dating back to the 1990s. All the food at Shalom Indonesian Restaurant is Halal.

If you have never tried Indonesian food then I highly recommend you start with one of the National dishes of Indonesia – the Nasi Lemak. This is a pile of rice, with various different dishes served around the rice, from roasted peanuts, fried anchovy, a chicken curry or a beef randang and served with some vegetables like cucumber and a boiled egg.

Another must try dish at Shalom is the Chicken sate. These chicken skewers are grilled over hot coals and then covered with a spicy peanut satay sauce. The chicken pieces are nice and big. A decent very decent serving. The peanut sauce is a little bit spicy but nto so spicy.

Another taste explosion is from their Chicken Soto (Chicken Soup). This is packed full of flavour, a very generous serving of thick noodles inside the soup and some boiled egg. The soup is thick, with very complex flavours as the soup is slow cooked with many different herbs and spices. Another highly recommended dish at Shalom!
