Lestari Resto — Restaurant in Sydney

The word "lestari" literally mean ever-lasting. It's not an exaggeration that the impression that you get from this restaurant is going to be "lestari". I have been going to this restaurant for years now. They started off with a smaller shop next door with seating of 20 people to now being able to fit up to 50 people. They appear to be just another takeaway restaurant in ultimo, but its actually more than that. They serve various authentic but elevated indonesian food. If its gonna be your first time, start with their Fried Rice variety called Nasi Goreng Lestari with Roast Pork (Savoury) or Nasi Goreng Jawa with BBQ Pork (Sweet). Whatever your preference is, whether its salty or sweet, you are guaranteed a good time. The other hero of the menu would be Bakmi BBQ pork, which is their version of Indonesian dry noodle served with a side soup. The place are also clean in case if you are a bit pedantic about cleanliness. Last but not least, the people serving you are always nice, welcoming, and full of smile. They will literally treat you like family. If I can give 7...

I first stumbled upon this restaurant after a hungry day completing a uni assignment. Upon scurrying to find something to fill my stomach, two guys eating in a lane way caught my eye. I approached them, quite randomly, and asked them what they were both eating. "Fried egg noodle with crispy pork. You need to get crispy pork!" From that day onward, I found a place that would never disappoint me, and would always make me happy. Lestari is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Sydney CBD. Don't let the no-frills look surprise you: the meals are super tasty, and they will only make you come back for more. I've been avidly trying out new restaurants throughout my uni days (it's been six years!), and I must say, Lestari never disappoints. Any bad day will be turned over after having a meal here. I've taken my mates here, and they've fallen in love with this place too. Love at first...

I can say one of the best Nasi Goreng I have here in Sydney and the service is so warm and friendly. I’ve been a regular for more than 5 years now and always try to have at least one meal a week after work. The Ayam Goreng and Wonton Soup is a must try too. I tried a lot of Nasi Goreng in most of Indonesian restaurant in Sydney but for me the taste of their fried rice really tells a lot and separate from the other shop. I will continue to support this family owned restaurant and wish they keep serving good quality indonesian dishes. By the way i’m a Filo but really hooked up with their fried rice the first time I have it and do quest to search for the best Nasi Goreng version around Sydney area. Terima...
