About The Sambal

For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, is it busy at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. Australian cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon, while restaurants and pubs run lunch and dinner services with a quiet spell in between, so an off-peak visit is worth a quick call. Card and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere; some venues add a surcharge on weekends and public holidays.

Opening hours are published for 2 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9 pm. Hours in Australia do change around public holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach The Sambal on 0423 636 793; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is thesambalonkent.com.au, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 1,215 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded asian restaurants in Sydney.

Travelling to Sydney and we craved Indonesian, searched up and found this lovely gem. Everything we ordered was really good, the fried rice especially was the best we’ve eaten. The green chilli and red chilli sambols are delicious and they are up for sale at the counter too. Highly recommend if people want an authentic Indonesian meal.

Great Indonesian food, reasonable prices. A hidden gem, I had dinner here 3 days out of a recent 4-day stay. Highly recommended.

Found The Sambal on the way back to our hotel and glad we stopped in. Cute little spot for lunch. The spicy prawn with petai was tasty (not too spicy), and the kangkung was delicious. My daughter loved her rendang too. Would definitely come back!

I usually pass by this restaurant on my way from the office to Town Hall, and my love for Indonesian cuisine finally got the better of me. Last Tuesday, I decided to give it a try during my lunch break. The place is lovely and spacious, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service was impressively quick. I ordered the Nasi Goreng with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious! To my delight, I discovered they also serve Halal and Gluten-Free options. Now I have the perfect spot to bring colleagues who prefer Halal or Gluten-Free meals.

Had an early dinner here. The Indonesian food seeved here ia pretty authentic (Having lived on the island of java for 5 years) The fried rice even at its mildest packed a kick. Not that I am complaining, spicy food is always welcome. Worth a try if craving Asian food with decent portions and great flavours. Only downside is the AUD price for eating out.
