Reviews


Sambal in Macquarie Park offers a fair-priced lunch special between $12-15, making it a popular choice for office groups and business lunches. The Malaysian menu includes familiar dishes like Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak, although some customers find the flavors lacking in richness. Service has improved significantly, although portion sizes have been decreasing. Despite mixed reviews on food quality, the restaurant's convenient location, friendly staff, and spacious seating make it worth a try for fans of South East Asian cuisine, Sambal typically has an average rating of 3.9.
