Batavia Corner

It's been my go to Indonesian restaurant in Perth for a long time. Having lived overseas for almost a decade, it's been nice to come back and see the food is as good as ever. Also happy to see that they've started selling their own sauces!

I can't come here without ordering the delicious Nasi Kuning Komplit. If I'm super hungry I'll also get the Satay Ayam, as the sauce is the closest in Perth to what I remember from living in Bali many many years ago. It should all be washed down with a lovely, but very sweet Es Cendol!

Plenty of Indonesians eat here, which is always a good sign. Not the fanciest looking place, but the food more than makes up for any loss in the atmosphere department.

This is where the Indonesians go in Perth if they miss home. Well, here and a few other places in Vic Park. It's also the best place which showcase Indonesian hospitality IMO, as it's a family-run place and they treat every customer like friends and royalty.

My grandma used to go here and the owner would know her by sight. Over the years, all my other mates of all skin colours and accents who live in Perth also knew about this place. The reason is simple: good food, great service, immorally low prices.

I'd say all the food here are pretty safe bets, even though I'm biased as an Indonesian, and I tend to eat everything. If you're looking to start a masters in Indonesian cuisine, Batavia Corner is a good place to start.

We ventured to Batavia Corner, finding ourselves ensconced in an atmosphere that was as family-friendly as it was authentic. The dishes before us were a vivid representation of traditional Indonesian cuisine, composed with care and an eye for balance.

The first dish, a comprehensive Nasi Campur, boasted a mix of savory fried chicken, rich and crunchy tempeh, and a hearty helping of rice accompanied by a medley of sambal, egg, and fresh vegetables. The second plate, an aromatic Nasi Padang, highlighted tender beef rendang and a delicate green jackfruit curry, both carried by the fluffy bed of white rice. The robust flavors of the satay, glistening with peanut sauce, promised a flavor packed with each skewered bite, while the Mie Goreng rounded out our experience with its stir-fried noodles topped with a perfectly runny fried egg, adding a velvety richness to the dish.

From the warm welcome to the attentive service, the staff at Batavia Corner demonstrated an eagerness to ensure a delightful dining experience. The availability of EFTPOS, a sign of their modern amenities, was a convenience appreciated, though the option of splitting bills went untested. Each plate was a testament to value for money, reflecting the care in ingredient selection and preparation without an exorbitant price tag.

In sum, Batavia Corner served as a culinary portal, each dish a chapter of a story told with spice and rice. The lively atmosphere was as pleasing as the cuisine, making it a commendable choice for both family outings and those seeking to indulge in Indonesian culinary tradition.

The food is very affordable and incredibly delicious. The slow cooked beef soup and fried duck were so so yummy. My kids loved the coconut rice and the fried chicken noodles. The interior is shabby and the service is not the best but who cares! The food is cheap and amazing!

Every time I step into Batavia Corner, I feel like I'm transported back to the bustling streets of Jakarta. As someone with a deep appreciation for authentic Indonesian cuisine, this cozy spot on Albany Highway has become my go-to in East Victoria Park.

On my last visit, I decided to indulge in their Nasi Goreng. It was a decision well made. The dish was a harmonious blend of spices and flavors, striking a perfect balance that tantalized my taste buds. It's rare to find a place that gets this classic dish so right, capturing the essence of Indonesia in every bite.

I've also had their Beef Rendang in the past, and it's a dish I still think about. The meat was tender, the spices were rich and well-balanced – it's the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more. And the Batavia Crispy Fish Fillet? A delightful surprise every time, whether I opt for the Barramundi or Snapper.

What I particularly love about Batavia Corner is the warmth of the staff. They always make me feel welcome, adding to the overall pleasant experience. It's not just about the food; it's about the feeling of community and connection to Indonesian culture they provide. For me, Batavia Corner isn't just a restaurant; it's a little piece of Indonesia right here in Perth, a place that resonates with my love for authentic Indonesian fare.

Editin : one of the best Authentic Indonesian restaurant, they've been here in perth for more than 20years. They serve many kinds of traditional Indonesian foods such as Soto Ayam ambengan and seasonal menu like Tahu Campur. Its worth to try.

fried chicken is super tender and juicy, nice

One if my favorite indo food. My usual go to place if im not sure what i wanted to eat. Most of the food are quite authentic. Just beware of their chilli because its really spicy. Not aussie level for sure. I love their fried rice, batagor, siomay bandung and their bakso goreng. Their ayam kremes is the best. (Fried chicken). If you like indo food this should be one of your list.

Great tasting food. Ox tail soup and deep fried barra are highly recommended.

The best indonesian restaurant in Perth! Food tastes yum and authentic, make me miss home in Bali....
We had Pempek Telor, Sayur Asem, Lontong Sayur, and Nasi Kuning Komplit with 2 glasses of tea. Everything for under $50! Portion was worth it. The places was a bit cramped and almost little to no access for wheelchair, but you can dine outside too.
The ladies were so nice even one of them took my order wrong but it was okay.
You can find some Indonesian snacks front of cashier.
Will definitely go back!

(+) :

- The atmosphere here is family friendly, good for lunch or dinner with your loved ones.
- Nice staff
- Especially for Indonesian who lives in Perth, if they miss the taste of authentic Indonesian foods, this is one of the best places to go.
- The price is also reasonable.
- They sell Indonesian chili sauces, traditional herbs, traditional snacks, etc.
- Also this place has "Halal certificate" so it's good for Muslim people.

(-) :

- To be honest if you buy the drinks from here,the portion is too small.

There's few places I don't want to give a review to because it's that good of a best kept Secret. But best kept secrets either go bankrupt or too popular, expensive and quality slips. Here's hoping this place stays the same because it's brilliant. Best rendang Ive had for a long while.

I've been here a number of times and every time the food is very nice!

The best. Incredible value, quick and friendly service, great portions, and most importantly, really really tasty food.

As an Indonesian, I love this place much... The onlyvone place where I can eat fish cake with vinegar and lontong sayur on site... The taste feels like at home town. Younmust visit this restaurant if you go to Perth...

Amazing Indonesian restaurant with super nice staff and great food at affordable prices. Got the seafood fried rice, came out quick, had a huge portion size and was only 10 bucks. I will be back soon!

One of the oldest Indonesian restaurant in perth and its a halal restaurant too.
Their food consistently taste really good and authentic through out the years.

My favourites are:
Lontong sayur, gado², tahu telor, ayam penyet, nasi rames kremes.

Lately, I am kinda addicted with Their popular Indonesian street food snacks too.
The Martabak manis ( the texture is in between crumpet & pan cake) has few variety options.Usually I just bought any combination as long as it include cheese in the topping. They usually stock few pre made ones lately. If you need specific combo of toppings and based you need to pre order them.
The Risoles ragout has excellent skin and very nice ragout filling inside. Their bakso goreng big and crunchy.

No fee for etpos (inserted).
Additional fee for other cards charges.

This place is the best authentic Indonesian restaurant in Perth. No doubt. Many varieties. Good location. Recommended dish : Sop buntut (Oxtail soup) and pempek (just Google it for details).

Delicious food and remind me of home. My go to Indonesian restaurant in Perth

Beef Empal was great. One of the best fried rice dishes I've had too.
