The food is very affordable and incredibly delicious. The slow cooked beef soup and fried duck were so so yummy. My kids loved the coconut rice and the fried chicken noodles. The interior is shabby and the service is not the best but who cares! The food is cheap and amazing!

It's been my go to Indonesian restaurant in Perth for a long time. Having lived overseas for almost a decade, it's been nice to come back and see the food is as good as ever. Also happy to see that they've started selling their own sauces!
I can't come here without ordering the delicious Nasi Kuning Komplit. If I'm super hungry I'll also get the Satay Ayam, as the sauce is the closest in Perth to what I remember from living in Bali many many years ago. It should all be washed down with a lovely, but very sweet Es Cendol!
Plenty of Indonesians eat here, which is always a good sign. Not the fanciest looking place, but the food more than makes up for any loss in the atmosphere department.

I enjoyed the kitchen's Soto Betawi for $15.50 although having to order a side of steamed rice brought it closer to $20.
Anyway it was a generous serve of tasty broth with lots of tender chunks of beef.
Complimentary sambal and sweet soy sauce went well over the rice with spoonfuls of the nicely spiced coconut broth.
Speaking of sambal the restaurant supplies several types to selected supermarkets in Perth and they are very good. I always like to have one in the fridge.
I agree with some other reviewers that it would be nice if the restaurant provided tap water but I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist because they don't; the food is too good.

Went for lunch with a friend, ordered the food, a few minutes later, I asked for a glass or bottle of tap water, which in the vast majority of Perth restaurants is supplied free of charge to patrons.
Not at Batavia Corner, I was told "we do not supply water, you must buy"....Really?
Bad attitude and bad customer service. If we had not already paid I would have walked out. I will not return.. how hard is it to provide a simple glass of water to a customer that asks?? Business must be really bad if a restaurant can't even supply tap water. Mean and stingy.
Not recommended, because of poor attitude & service

We ventured to Batavia Corner, finding ourselves ensconced in an atmosphere that was as family-friendly as it was authentic. The dishes before us were a vivid representation of traditional Indonesian cuisine, composed with care and an eye for balance.
The first dish, a comprehensive Nasi Campur, boasted a mix of savory fried chicken, rich and crunchy tempeh, and a hearty helping of rice accompanied by a medley of sambal, egg, and fresh vegetables. The second plate, an aromatic Nasi Padang, highlighted tender beef rendang and a delicate green jackfruit curry, both carried by the fluffy bed of white rice. The robust flavors of the satay, glistening with peanut sauce, promised a flavor packed with each skewered bite, while the Mie Goreng rounded out our experience with its stir-fried noodles topped with a perfectly runny fried egg, adding a velvety richness to the dish.
From the warm welcome to the attentive service, the staff at Batavia Corner demonstrated an eagerness to ensure a delightful dining experience. The availability of EFTPOS, a sign of their modern amenities, was a convenience appreciated, though the option of splitting bills went untested. Each plate was a testament to value for money, reflecting the care in ingredient selection and preparation without an exorbitant price tag.
In sum, Batavia Corner served as a culinary portal, each dish a chapter of a story told with spice and rice. The lively atmosphere was as pleasing as the cuisine, making it a commendable choice for both family outings and those seeking to indulge in Indonesian culinary tradition.

This is where the Indonesians go in Perth if they miss home. Well, here and a few other places in Vic Park. It's also the best place which showcase Indonesian hospitality IMO, as it's a family-run place and they treat every customer like friends and royalty.
My grandma used to go here and the owner would know her by sight. Over the years, all my other mates of all skin colours and accents who live in Perth also knew about this place. The reason is simple: good food, great service, immorally low prices.
I'd say all the food here are pretty safe bets, even though I'm biased as an Indonesian, and I tend to eat everything. If you're looking to start a masters in Indonesian cuisine, Batavia Corner is a good place to start.

Every time I step into Batavia Corner, I feel like I'm transported back to the bustling streets of Jakarta. As someone with a deep appreciation for authentic Indonesian cuisine, this cozy spot on Albany Highway has become my go-to in East Victoria Park.
On my last visit, I decided to indulge in their Nasi Goreng. It was a decision well made. The dish was a harmonious blend of spices and flavors, striking a perfect balance that tantalized my taste buds. It's rare to find a place that gets this classic dish so right, capturing the essence of Indonesia in every bite.
I've also had their Beef Rendang in the past, and it's a dish I still think about. The meat was tender, the spices were rich and well-balanced – it's the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more. And the Batavia Crispy Fish Fillet? A delightful surprise every time, whether I opt for the Barramundi or Snapper.
What I particularly love about Batavia Corner is the warmth of the staff. They always make me feel welcome, adding to the overall pleasant experience. It's not just about the food; it's about the feeling of community and connection to Indonesian culture they provide. For me, Batavia Corner isn't just a restaurant; it's a little piece of Indonesia right here in Perth, a place that resonates with my love for authentic Indonesian fare.
