Fantastic freshly cooked food at great prices. Small but busy, so after reading other reviews we booked a table. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we fed four adults for $50.

Son was fed up with western food which he was finding heavy on the palate and I'd spotted Sawak Cafe while in town and so we tried it out. There is no wine - it's a BYO. So, we paused our meal while we got some booze. We shared some starters which were drop dead gorgeous and I had the beef rendang for my main. I was very happy. It;s a bit of a shack and so not a place to bring a girl on a first date but for good food on a budget it is very hard to beat.

A must try in Hobart. $12 for a curry with rice... $4 roti... forgot to take picture of beef rendang but do yourself a favour and try it. Beef so tender and curry so flavoursome. Could have easily shared the main between 2 adults with a starter! Cheap and value for money!

Good food, reasonably cheap and quick. Casual place that does takeaway too. We got there early (5:30pm) so no problem getting a table. Looked to be getting busier by the time we left

I have not yet found a place in Hobart that provides better warm and filling cheap food. The restaurant is packed with office staff and families most afternoons that I have been there. The staff is lovely and extremely friendly in helping with any special requirements. They have something for everyone! I keep going back for the Char Kway Toew, Fish Curry and Nasi Lemak.
