The Uleg is an Indonesian restaurant, a nice find on a busy strip of Sydney road. If you are…read morelooking for it, Uleg is located only a couple of doors away from Aldi. I've only been here a few times and I have noticed some changes on the menu. Previously on offer were meal style dishes, rice with chicken, rice with fish etc. this is common in Indonesia restaurants and they also represented common dishes found in Indo restaurants albeit being a bit unusual to Western flavours I.e the Pecel Fish for example. More recently, the menu seems to be catered more towards bigger variety of diners. Dishes on offered are of the more well known Indonesian meals with some crowd pleaser like the spring rolls, deep fried calamari etc. I've found that meals are now designed as mains to be shared, with rice dishes to be ordered separately ( as opposed to previously individual meal style). Price wise though, this means a slight increase, still cheap meals though for average $15-20 per person. I think this is a smart move and have definitely attracted more diners. Overall, this is a nice Indonesian / Asian restaurant, but I do miss my Indonesian flavours and unique dishes so I am not a regular here but certainly don't mind the odd meals every now and then.

Our party of six still had a great night. We enjoyed a good range of dishes, both starters and mains. We had shared spring rolls as an entree. These were very tasty. All the mains were terrific too and a number of these were well know standards. These comprised of gado gado, nasi goreng with chicken, beef rendang, yellow rice and finally sayur lodeh, vegetable curry. This was very tasty fresh food and happily we couldn't fault it. It was a very good meal and service was good too. Sadly there were no ice or ice buckets for wine which was disappointing on a hot night. But still a most enjoyable night.

There is a sign at the front but at night it's hardly noticeable and on a windy day, you might see the signage on the ground rather than upright. It's a shame, because once you walk in to the side gate, the venue is quite amazing. Gorgeous courtyard that's friendly and secure ( for kids to run around) and lots of outdoor seating for the warmer months. I can see many diners spending a relaxing evening here with delicious food and some beer or ice cendol. Inside the restaurant, it feels like a reused old pub, with church like structure and walls. Lots of gigs posters around which sends the message that it's client group are maybe the hip young professionals. Certainly when I was here there was no other Indonesian diners. Food wise, it's not the usual 'street food' you would find walking down the streets of Jakarta, so whilst the menu is familiar, it's certainly not a typical day to day meal. Looking at their Instagram account, I see Yuni visiting Bali and talking about lots of Balinese food, so maybe the flavours are more traditional Balinese ( but not the ones you find at popular tourist haunts). It's definitely a home cooked traditional meal. Although I was salivating scrolling through the their pics and menu, I have to admit that the flavours I got was not the ones I was craving. Not that the food was not good, it was delicious but like I mentioned, had flavours that maybe are specific to a region that I'm not used to. The tempeh for example was battered and deep fried, where you would usually find them crispy fried on its own or marinated and fried in its saucy goodness. The meals also came out more expensive than other places, especially if you were used to the student budget Indonesian haunts. The Nasi Ayam campur ( mix plate of rice, chicken and sides) were $22. Other mains were $13-$20 without rice. So it does start to add up. Overall, it's worth trying for yourself if you enjoy Indonesian food and see what you think

Knowing that it was very popular, I decided to head in for an early Saturday lunch (12 noon), and easily found a table. Decided to try the Indo staples. Ribs, mie goreng and the beef rendang. What could go wrong? The ribs were everything I expected. Sticky, juices and melt in your mouth. However, the party ended here. The rendang was luke warm, chewy and lacking in flavour. The noodles too, lacked any real flavour. Both dishes were a real let down. The space is pretty cool and the staff friendly which is why I'm giving 3 and not 4 stars.
