About Shalom Indonesian Restaurant
Since opening in 1998, Shalom Indonesian Restaurant has operated in Sydney's central business district, placing it among the earliest Indonesian restaurants established in the city and giving it close to three decades of continuous service by 2026. The Sydney CBD location sits on Sussex Street, near Sydney's Chinatown district, at Shop 3-4, 299 Sussex Street. The restaurant has since expanded into a small local group, with an additional location in Mascot and a takeaway-focused outlet, Dapoer Shalom, on Botany Road.
The kitchen specializes in Javanese and Sundanese cooking styles, two of Indonesia's more widely represented regional cuisines within the country's diaspora communities abroad. All food served at the restaurant is halal certified, and the certificate is displayed at the entrance, a detail that has made the restaurant a consistent option for Muslim diners in the city, including students, workers, and visitors from Indonesia and Malaysia.
Trading hours at the Sydney CBD location run from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with slightly later opening on Sunday at 12:00 p.m., also closing at 10:00 p.m. The restaurant can be reached at (02) 9264 1144. Bookings can be made online through the restaurant's own reservation system, and the business maintains listings on Yelp, Tripadvisor, and social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram.
For members of Sydney's Indonesian community, restaurants with this kind of institutional longevity often take on a role beyond simply serving food: they become reference points that newer arrivals are told about by friends, family, or community groups, and they sometimes host informal gatherings tied to Indonesian holidays or cultural events. Shalom's positioning in the CBD, within walking distance of Chinatown and the wider Haymarket dining precinct, also makes it accessible to office workers and visitors who might not otherwise seek out Indonesian food specifically. Given its multi-decade history, prospective diners can generally expect a consistent, home-style approach to Indonesian cooking rather than a more contemporary or fusion-oriented menu.
