Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a lovely little find. It’s hidden in a mall, staff very friendly, a range of different Indonesian dishes although they had sold out of Nasi goreng, got a large plate for $16, perfect for a quick lunch

Shyly tucked away in a nook inside the Oriental Emporium in Coconut Grove is the love child of Sari Rasa. Or more like the next generation of young women who have mastered their Indonesian Mother's and Aunty's recipes and now have a business of their...very own and they are nailing it.More

Good value lunch It is $12 (small) or $13 (a larger) plate for lunch. You get to choose 3 items from small selection of meat, curry, veg options. Expect to share tables if it gets busy at lunch time (those from Asia or visited Asia...are very use to share tables). Hand sanitiser found at front door and on food counter for hand hygiene. QR code for all Darwin eateries.More

Seriously addictive, amazing Indo food, with amazing flavour , only downside for me is the meat can be very dry on occasion (beef/lamb dishes) but perhaps it is traditionally so? Love it in any case. Eggplant and spicy chicken dishes are my picks.

This is a rough diamond, authentic Indonesian food in a basic venue but the flavours are real and the price is fabulous

My partner and I have spent many years of our life travelling all over Indonesia. The food here made my partner want to move from Perth to Darwin. Authentic as. You just have to look at the beautiful little lady’s who make and serve you...your meal. My partner even made a habit of going in at lunch time to get a takeaway serve for a late night snack back at our holiday apartment, for after we had been out on the town. Also very good value.More

We had a wonderful lunch buffet with a variety of curries. All had delightful flavours which complemented one another. This is a place frequented by locals who recognise quality and great flavour. I can recommend it highly for price, quality and value.

First time here today and can't say it's the best Indonesian I've tasted in Darwin or elsewhere. It's just as okay as it's sister eatery (Sumatra Cafe), with a few small twists. I've been hearing people hype this place so much but unfortunately my heat...is with another Indonesian eatery in the Darwin CBD 💔More

I have been going to Sari Rasa for many years and make a point of going whenever I return to Darwin. The food is very simple but very tasty and authentic Indonesian. Service is quick and friendly and meals are incredibly cheap. Well worth searching...out its location down an arcade off Cavenagh Street.More

This place is a hidden gem familiar with locals working in the city. Food choices is limited however the quality and taste is consistent and great. Mainly curries, fried rice, small side dishes and sometimes stir fried noodles. Good place to grab a quick bite...or take away back to the office.More
