Monggo Restaurant - Mount Lawley

I have been to this restaurant four times now, and the food is consistently delicious. The staff is always lovely. My favorite dishes are probably the beef rendang and salt and pepper squid. They also offer a diverse vegan menu, which is great for dining with a mixed group of friends.

My partner and I visited this restaurant two weeks ago (we've been quite busy since then). I wasn't sure what to expect from Indonesian cuisine, as my only experience with it had been in Bali. However, I was pleasantly surprised. We decided to share and tried the lamb shank, beef rendang, mie goreng, and ayam rica-rica. The presentation of the rice was outstanding. Every dish was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The service was impeccable and our food arrived promptly. Be sure to also order the prawn crackers, and if you have the entertainment book, you'll be pleased with the bill as well.

Nice little place. Wasn't busy so we were seated and served quickly. Waitress was polite and welcoming.Beef rendang was tasty, bit salty but good. The mie goreng minus the seafood was really good. Thought it was well priced, glad we finally tried it.

Came here mid week service was quick. Ordered the salt and pepper squid and satay chicken for entree. The satay chicken had a lovely smokey flavour and came with lots of sauce : For mains we had the rendang and mei goreng. The roti is the best ever! Super buttery like and crispy. I could eat it all day without anything else. The rendang was tasty and also came with a good amount of sauce to dunk the roti in. The stand out dish for us however was the mei goreng. The homemade noodles were fantastic and the dish had so much flavour without being too saucy. We have eaten a lot of mei goreng in our time and this is the best we 've had. We found the food very authentic and it 's nice to see a restaurant that 's not just trying to be 'trendy '...Something which is becoming quite hard to come by in ML. We asked for some cut chilli on the side in soy sauce and it was no problem at all came out with the mains as requested. Will definitely be making this a regular place. We have lived in mount lawley for 8 years, I wish we 'd tried this place earlier.

When we went the service was slow but the Indonesian dishes are so good. The Mie Kampoeng was selected by two friends at a superb chilli level and it tested their heat tolerance. I have shared a banquet and relished the choice.
