Hello Indo — Restaurant in Adelaide

I've been here a couple of times. It's one of the only Indonesian restaurants in Adelaide. Their Gado Gado is good, taste close to being authentic. Their meatball is also good but not authentic as it uses instant noodle and instant soup. The Luwak coffee is not great. It comes from a sachet Luwak coffee latte full of sugar (I asked for my coffee without sugar and they didn't think to mention that it comes from a sugared sachet). Not authentic and not coffee.

The food is ok in general though it taste more like generic Asian/Malaysian food rather than authentic Indonesian.

Edit (after response from owner:

The meatball soup is definitely not thick as you mentioned. It's very clear. Interestingly the 'egg noodle's texture and taste identical to instant noodles. When a restaurant offers 'coffee' in the menu, you'd assume that they'd prepare you a real coffee. Customers dont expect to see "we don't have a coffee machine" in your menu. If you're going to prepare sachet latte (not a long black Luwak), make it labelled Luwak coffee latte. Your staff should've warned me that there's sugar...

Hi Hello Indo, i just want to say thank you so much to cook Indonesian food in Adelaide and i really want to share for everyone who read this review as a honest by me.

I have been regular to Hello Indo since i arrived at Adelaide and the taste of the food is very authentic Indonesian cuisine.

Overall, the food was amazing. I ordered: Batagor, and it was crispy, and bouncy as it should. The peanut sauce is authentic. The included sambal also tasted amazing. Ikan Kuah Kuning, which is fantastic and reminded me of how my mom used to make it. The soup is quite spicy for my taste. ( my spicy tolerance had gone down quite a bit 🥲). It came with two pieces of fish, which are incredibly tender. Nasi padang with chicken. It is nasi padang, so it's good. Chicken is flavourful and has a nice and crispy skin. Ice campur. It's so refreshing and satisfy my inner child craving.

Aku personally recommend ikan kuah kuning dan batagor nya. Cocok banget dimakan disaat hujan dan...
