Reviews like this mean a lot to us. 🇮🇩❤️

Christopher stopped by Kantin Carlton as part of his Indonesian food crawl — and gave us a full 5/5 for Food, Service & Atmosphere.

From our Sate Ayam Manis, to the Kantin Famous Beef Ribs, and finishing with Mie Goreng Ayam Goreng Kremes — we love hearing that every dish delivered.

But this line might be our favourite:

“Funny how an Indonesian restaurant can cook a rib better than plenty of Western places I’ve tried.” 😏🔥

And to finish with:

“Definitely one of the more complete feeds I’ve had on this Indonesian crawl.” 🇮🇩

Thank you Christopher for giving Kantin a try and for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We’re glad you finally walked in after passing us on Lygon Street all those times! 😂

See you again soon. 🙏

🇮🇩 Happy 81st Independence Day, Indonesia! 🇮🇩

Today, 17 August, we celebrate 81 years of Indonesian independence — and the people, cultures, traditions and flavours that make our beautiful archipelago so special.

But today is also a day to reflect and to pray. ❤️🤍

May Indonesia continue to grow as a nation that is united, peaceful, just and prosperous.
May our leaders be guided by wisdom and integrity.
May our people continue to care for one another despite our differences.
And may the richness of Indonesia’s cultures and traditions be proudly passed from one generation to the next.

For us at Kantin, Indonesia may be thousands of kilometres away, but it will always be home. 🇮🇩🇦🇺

Here in Melbourne, we’re proud to share a little piece of Indonesia every day — through our food, our flavours, our culture and our hospitality.

Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia.
Dirgahayu Republik Indonesia ke-81. 🇮🇩

Teruslah maju, Indonesia.
Doa kami selalu untukmu. ❤️🤍

From Indonesia, with love — in Melbourne. 🇮🇩❤️🇦🇺

💛 Did you know?

One of the key ingredients that gives our Soto Ayam its signature golden colour is turmeric — a spice that has been used for centuries and is often referred to as a natural superfood.

✨ Rich in antioxidants
✨ Supports digestion
✨ Traditionally known for its anti-inflammatory properties
✨ Adds warmth, aroma and flavour to every bowl

But beyond the health benefits, turmeric is what makes Soto Ayam taste like Soto Ayam. 🇮🇩

Our Soto Ayam is made with a fragrant turmeric-based broth, shredded chicken, vermicelli noodles, cabbage, egg, fried shallots and all the comforting flavours of home.

Healthy. Comforting. Delicious.

Have you tried Kantin’s Soto Ayam yet? 🍲💛

Green never tasted this bold.

Inspired by the flavours of North Sulawesi, our Ayam Woku is packed with fresh herbs, aromatic spices, and just the right amount of heat. Served over fluffy rice and finished with a golden egg.

Fresh.
Fragrant.
Unforgettable.
