If an Indonesian restaurant has iga bakar or grilled beef ribs on the menu, I'm ordering it - no questions asked. My mission is simple to find who does the best grilled beef ribs in town, and Teras Java in Mascot is definitely up there.
Their iga bakar is everything you want it to be. They are thick, juicy, tender and beautifully fatty, with a depth of flavour that keeps you going back for more. Price-wise, it's also surprisingly more affordable compared to many other places serving the same dish. It costs just below $20.
Beyond the ribs, their noodle dishes and fried chicken were solid and satisfying. The real surprise though was the batagor. Batagor is like an Indonesian fried dumpling and tofu dish. Such a simple street-food classic, yet so hard to get right, and Teras Java absolutely nailed it.
And of course, being Indonesian, you need kerupuk (cracker) and sambal with every meal. A few options are available for you to choose from.
