Best indonesian food in sydney. They have heaps of vegetarian and non- vegetaraian options. We have been going to this place regularly for few years now. The amazing thing is that their varieties are unique and always tasty.
Best Indonesian food joint in Sydney. Full of delicious and authentic selections. I used to live across the street and the only place I get my Asian cuisine. 2 choices of meat and 1 choice of veggie at $12.50
I’ve been coming here for years. Pondok Buyung serves amazing delicious food and many choices to choose from. You will be very satisfied with the servings and is very affordable. Hard to find a place to beat price and taste. Great place for lunch as you can be served your food instantly.
for those who missed indonesian foods, this is the right place to get your craving satisfied! Rice + 2 Meats + 1 Vegetables dish is only $11.50 🙌🏻 Although, they only accept cash as payment but it is totally worth it! …
