Salero Kito Pty Ltd Review

Yummy West Sumatran food. Always love the sate padang

Our family go to restaurant when we are craving for Indonesian/ padang food. Authentic taste, generous portions and great price.

Had tendon curry and tasted burnt, dunno how could they serve that to ppl. Rest of things I tried were just meh, no flavour, or anything memorable

Great flavours, big portions and cheap prices. A real gem.

A subset of authentic Padang food, although Australian laws mean it can't be served in the traditional stacked-plates way. The cafe is very low frill verging on ugly, which I suppose gives it a street-food vibe. Not expensive, $12 to $13 typically. Halal. Beloved by Indonesians, so that's a good sign.

Love the food here makes you miss the indo cuisine, it goes out loud

Great food although their rendang i had that time was a bit salty

Been here few times. First, easy to get to. Located inside Tivoli Arcade, in the back. Second, I love padang food. So it has a good taste although not like the authentic one. Third, consider cheap. Rice, spicy eggplant, cabbage and jack fruit cooked with coconut milk and egg, it costs me $11. So you can expect around $14 if you add beef or chicken. Lastly, fast service as actually everyting is ready. You just need to pick what you want.

Nice place,comfortable and halal restaurant for Muslims

Not a fancy restaurant but the food is quite nice and budget friendly. Suitable for a casual lunch rather than gathering.

Salero Kito Padang has been dishing out cheap and cheerful meals without fail all these years. Popular with the lunch time crowd for the quick and easy bain marie offerings, you ll see a mix of students and office workers here. A concise a la carte menu is also available, and if ordering from this menu, you get a complimentary Teh Kotak with your meal.

The Padang cuisine is famous for its use of coconut milk, chillies and spices. Bold and piquant, you ll enjoy the amazing depth of flavours here. The beef rendang and chicken curry are my go-to order from the bain marie. The beef rendang here is the dry version, and it may not suit those who prefer to drown their beef in sauce. Beautifully spiced and rich in flavours, this aromatic dish goes down well with rice. The same can be said for the curry chicken, and the curry sauce that comes with this is to die for.

Some days the flavours, and the serving size, can be better than on other days, but nevertheless you ll always be assured of a tasty and affordable meal here.

Save first, then look for it when you go to Melbourne

I want this place all for myself but this food and these people deserve a wider audience. Hence my reluctant review. Lovely lovely indonesian nasi padang, definitely the best Southeast Asian food I've had in Melbourne. Keep it up guys, I'll definitely be back as much as I can.

My go to place when looking for authentic Indonesian Padang food. Amazing food.

A gem in the heart of Melbourne city, serving delicious, heart warming Indonesian fare, at very reasonable prices, bursting with flavour and spice.
A must go if you want a bite of Indo.

Best Indonesian food in Melbourne, bar none. The problem with proper Padang food is they're so cumbersome and take so long to make. Being able to point at any of them and eat in less than 2 minutes is just infinitely more convenient!

The portion became smaller and smaller... the taste is average

Pleasant service, great authentic food with big portions #happydays

Probably the best Indonesian food(Padang cuisine) in Melbourne !! The beef rendang is very tasty, and they provide sambal ijo to make it even more spicy ! Serve other padang cuisine such as, telor balado, gulai ayam, kari, ayam goreng, etc. Good fare, friendly staff.

quality food ... reasonable price...good staff....it can be your daily eating place to go...

Good place to eat if you're really hungry. Ask for extra rice with no extra charge. Last time they introduced sweet soy beef but I guess it's not popular so it's no longer in the menu. I like it but the problem is, 50% of the beef was fat. So kinda turned off with that. I suggest to have 1 new dish every week for variety.

Friendly and efficient service. Tasty food at a good price.

Really like the food here. Taste similar to the original Padang food

Loved this place. A hidden gem if you like Padang food. The place is small and hard to find seat when it s busy. Variety of food items to select. Loved the beef rendang and spicy chicken. The quantity was good, you can ask for more rice for no extra cost. It s one of the place to go when you are really hungry.
The staffs were very friendly and the service was so quick. Will be back again.

Definitely love the Sate Padang, one of a kind, omg! It's halal, the meat in satay was so huge and soft. I love how they have the better meat and recipe quality than in my own country. The place is quiet small and pretty hard to find. I gave totally 5 starts for the food, love the spicy food.

A delicious meal I had. The rendang and crispy beef lung are authentic Indonesian taste. A recommended place.

Definitely an oasis for every Indonesian that longing and missing Padang cuisine.

Food was cold, but it was nice to have authentic Indonesian meal.

halal, taste good (seperti RM padang di indo), strategic location (cbd), service ok

Had an ok lunch here. Its all bay marie food here but its busy so food doesn't sit there for long. The prices are low for Melbourne cbd.

I m not Indonesian , I m from North East India and the food is very similar to our cuisine , It s so homely , whenever I miss home cooked food , I order from here , This place is highly recommended for any North East Indian living in Melbourne:)

Had oxtail soup from ala carte menu, came with rice and chilli dip + drink for $15. Pretty spicy so order if you enjoy the heat!
Fast, delicious and big portion sizes. Very casual place to eat. Can't wait to go back! I was super hungry so forgot to take a photo!
Seems to have a lot of frequent customers, you collect cutlery/water/tissues at the till and if you're uncultured like me and don't know most of the menu names, the server was very helpful with explaining the popular choices.

Nice food but so overpriced. Asked for beef rendang for $11. 2 small pieces served with a ton of rice.

Great variety of Indonesian food ready to be served up on the spot. I had the spicy chicken, fried egg plant, beef rendang and the cabbage and Jack fruit side and some chicken curry sauce on rice. All that for just 14 dollars
It was spicy and absolutely delicious.

This is one of the best Indonesian Padang restaurants in Melbourne. Its beef rendang, dendeng and especially it Lado Hijau (green chilli sauce) are the best and taste similar to those in West Sumatra.

Finally I can find the true Padang Restaurant in Melbourne!

One of the most authentic Padang restaurants in Australia. Their Dendeng Paru (Deep Fried Lungs) keeps me coming back for more! Love it!

Great lunch spot.... value for money and the taste is amazing. Home style food.

Today, I bought some beef tendon. I disappointed because there a little bit tendon and so much skin including fat. I know that because the texture of curry not sticky enough in my mouth and the other hand is the taste of the skin and fat so strong.

spicy chicken, spicy eggplant.........great. Thanks

Looks like food from a food court, but taste and quality are considerably better. Also offers a varied selection ranging from crispy lung to sheep brain curry. Service is efficient and friendly. Good choice for a quick inexpensive lunch.

I've been back 3 times to try the lamb curry advertised in the photo on the window facing the arcade and you never have it. It's disappointing when something is advertised like this and is always unavailable. Maybe take down the photo if you don't ever have this dish because it is misleading.

Best authentic padang food in Melbourne, highly recommended

While nothing fancy, it s very tasty and good value for money! The beef rendang I had with a spicy egg had a great amount of spice and was very filling

Proper Indonesian food in Melbourne.
You can pick it up like a deli and eat it, and you can experience both the tang and fish chicken.
Recommended.

Padang Restaurant with the most authentic flavors in Melbourne. Prices are also reasonable.

Good one for those who miss the taste of Nasi Padang in Melbourne

Awesome food. Traditional and absolutely delicious. 5 stars!!

The shop situated in a mall. Different variety of dishes purely from Padang Indonesian flavour. Not so expensive and pleasant staff.

So happy to come very central in Melbourne just off from Little Collins and Swanston St.
I maybe biased but I absolutely adored the meal and it s flavours and so yummy. Definitely coming back for more.

best padang coz they're the only one in melb ! (i think).. but still good and affordable food there

Probably one of the most authentic Indonesian cuisines in Melbourne. It specializes in Padang food (Sumatra), with lots of dishes to choose - chicken gulai, rendang, fried chicken, spicy eggs, etc. I love the spicy sliced lung, if you don't like spict foods like me, you can try the lung only and it is so crispy!! I always take away the spicy lung since my kid also loves it. The mixed veggies was a bit salty, though, I would recommend to try the beet leaf one than the mixed veggies.

Authentic food lungs brain tendon tasty but inconsistent

Large portion of padang style cuisine. I love the balado dried meat.

The best rendang (Indonesian style beef curry) in Melbourne.

The food is not authentic in the field, it is not delicious..masin
