Manise Cafe

I had ayam geprek with steamed rice and fried tofu, and teh tarik to wash it down. The chicken was tender but lacks flavour. Some parts of the batter on the chicken were still uncooked. The geprek sambal was intense. It may have overwhelmed the flavours of other dishes. The owner/cashier/waitress could have been a little smiley. The place itself was very cosy. Verdict? For the price I paid for the food, it was not great.

Ordered several dishes expecting to be similar serving size as most standard Asian restaurants. When dishes arrived at the table, oh boy, what an extreme joke… each dish is only about a quarter portion size of most standard Asian restaurant servings. Beef ribs with peanut sauce Kondro Bakar $23 had only FOUR TINY pieces of super small short ribs with one big chunk of pure fat. Our soup with the beef ribs never got served. Lalapan Komplit $11 was served with approx 1/12 of shredded cabbage with 4 thin slices of cucumber and tomato, extra $3.50 for a tiny SINGLE piece of tofu! Ikan Goreng fried fish $21.50 for a very small sized fish with tiny bit of shredded cabbage and some tomato chilli sauce. $84 for the two of us. Although taste ain’t too bad but nothing authentic and definitely not worth the prices! Won’t be returning for sure.

This place is one of my favorites to have a real Indonesian food. Every dish was delicious! Highly recommended.

Awsome, felt like home, great family owned & run. Food was fresh and Authentic. Highly recommended if you love your Indonesian food.

Konro bakar did not really look like the original one which usually comes with ribs-like meat with a rack of bones. However to my surprise the meat were more succulent and the taste of the peanut sauce was ridiculously delicious. The portion was not big though. they incurred fee on payment with paypass fee which is really disappointing in these days of cashless era. So instead 5, i lower it down to 3 rating.

I’m Australian & I love this Indonesian restaurant. It’s a little hidden gem. Service is great, it’s cheap & food is delicious. Salamat makan!

If we travel to Perth City, manise cafe will be one of our option for lunch, for me personally the taste is not 100% authentic, for example the sup kondro and coto Makassar these 2 dishes are definitely not same as the original dishes as those dishes are from my hometown but it's okay when I missed my hometown dishes on the pictures is nasi goreng and mie goreng which is yummy. The squid tbh bit disappointed as it's different from the picture on the menu, on the menu it looks like crispy and lots of sticky yummy chili sauce on top and when it came it's like what you see on my picture

Pros: - Ayam geprek cabe ijo is wonderful. Chicken is tender, tempe is crispy and the cabe ijo packs a punch. Cons: - Iga bakar is disappointing. Very tough. - 2% surcharge for non cash payment.

Food was ok. The restaurant walls are dark brown and the atmosphere feels pretty low. Wouldn’t go back

The best Ayam Geprek in Perth . $15 a portion. Lovely food.
