Ikhwan Cafe Sydney

If you want authentic Malaysian Halal street food, please give this a try. All the memories come flooding back for me. Very reasonable price. You know it's authentic when many of the customers are speaking Bahasa

Delicious, fresh and well priced lunch. The service was quick and friendly, the place is nicely maintained and clean.

I ordered Nasi Lemak with beef rendang after seeing positive reviews. I was shocked at how truly disappointing the dish was.The beef rendang was two small bits of meat in an oily liquid that lacked any flavour. Only a tiny bit of anchovies and nuts. The sambal was very bland. The nicest part of dish was the cucumber slices and I'm not joking.Service wasn't terrible the guy at the counter was friendly.Overall a bad dining experience, unforgettable for the wrong reasons. I'm completely shocked why this place has such positive reviews.

I had lunch here after visiting the museum. Nice place for lunch. Reasonable price with nice food and staffs

Authentic Malaysian cuisine, a short walk from the Maritime museum. Menu was small. Had the fried chicken, mee goreng roti and murtabak, which were all tasty!

Nice fresh food, made to order. Clean premises. Lovely fresh iced tea. Great prices and serving sizes. We happened to come across this place and were so glad we went in. Lots more on the menu that we didn't get to try yet- would be happy to come back. Great location in Pyrmont. Thank you for the lovely meal.

Came here with low expectations because I knew it was cheap food. However, the experience went even lower than what I expected. Walked in and the one guy at the counter didn’t even greet my family and I. We had to find our own table and grab our own menus (fair enough, it’s some cafeteria style joint). We made our order and even had the guy repeat it back to me because it seemed like he wasn’t all there whilst taking my order. Sat down and waited. Took around 10 minutes for the first plate of noodles to come out. Around 5 minutes later the second plate of noodles and another 5-10mins after that, the fried rice. And then around 10 minutes after that one of the two mains came out. Our food was getting cold (we’re the type of family that likes to eat once everything is served). Tried to grab the waiter’s attention a couple of times to follow up. It was no good. Had to get up and speak to him in person over the front counter. Asked him where the second main dish was and where the white rice which comes with the main was too. He responded with “you didn’t order a second main dish”, despite him clearly repeating it when I asked him to say my order back to me. Anyway, he went ahead and told the lone cook in the back to make it after I showed him my receipt (imagine if I never asked for my receipt). Now with the rice, he was adamant that it was separate to the main dish. I showed him the menu which clearly says “served with rice” and he was lost for words… I mean for the most part, he was a man of little words to begin with. The last main dish came out just as the rest of my family finished eating everything else. I downed it with the rice and ran for the exit. Food was mediocre. I’ve had better Malaysian food. Would’ve rated it 2 or 3 stars if it weren’t for the poor service and lack of effort to ensure we (their customers) were satisfied. To be frank, I don’t think they really care. Wouldn’t recommend the place. I’m never really one to whinge, but this was something else. Steer clear and just go to “Jumbo Thai” nearby if you want a good, affordable feed.

The satay chicken only have the sweet flavour, not even a bit of other flavour. It was very difficult to finish the dish. I will never recommend this restaurant to any of my friend.
