Warung Kartini — Restaurant in Melbourne

Dear Warung kartini, first you need to tell your customer or put sign if you only accept CASH. After we had breakfasting the other day,the bill was $50+ and my wife is going to pay by card then the owner said “our eftpos machine is running out the paper” LOL and said again to her “do you have combank mobile app so you can transfer to my account?” (You’re kidding man) You keep trying to push her to pay by cash or need to go to Oakleigh station to get cash. It doesn’t work like that because you have etfpos machine and you hide it.

Food is okay,serve is really slow (more than 4 people in the kitchen but serve is still slow) service was nice because owner was there when I went but he pushed to hard about his special order,it’s like I have to order what he offered to me and didn’t let me think for a minute to decide what I want to order.

Will I come...

Food was good but the service can be a bit slow.

If the male owner was there then the service is a 5 star. However they would still need to learn how to serve foods faster, especially during peak hour.

There are lots of variety of foods however the taste were all almost similar. We got bored after the 2nd visit.

The supposedly their signature dish "roast pork belly" was rather too dry to my liking.

Edit:

I gave them 3 stars before but our 3rd visit was a disaster. Ordered seafood fried rice for take away, there are no seafood at all in the rice and it taste very blend.

Also had their way overpriced specials which they usually cost $16 mate i rather go for a steak for that price.

The service was also went free fall not downhill.

Thats it, will...

We visited this place late afternoon, and ordered their specialties, Nasi Liwet and grilled fish, together with chicken barbecue.

The nasi liwet tasted good, and I love the spicy eggplant and beef rendang. It just simply delicious. However, the rice is bit cold when it was served. They could make it warm a bit to make it even better.

The grilled fish, was not as my expectation. I expected fresh fish grilled, and the meat was still firm. however, they cooked the fish before they grilled, and the result was mushy, even it tasted good.

The chicken satay, however, is not good at all. It was tasteless and dry. Maybe because they cut it in big chunk, and it seemed they did not marinate enough.

Service, may be because we came during peak...
