About

Authentic Dutch Indonesian Cuisine in the heart of Benoni!

Description

Indonesian food is on the other side of the culinary spectrum in Holland. It is the result of Dutch exploration and colonization and has its basis in the expression of the contemporary and exotic flavours that the colonies had to offer. Still today, Indonesian influences can be experienced in every nook and cranny of Holland, including the multitude of Oriental restaurants and shops.

Indonesian cooking is an exciting art that cannot simply be learned from eating the food, but requires an understanding of the principles on which Idonesian dishes were founded. True Indonesian cuisine requires careful schooling, time and patience, as well as a wide variety of exotic ingredients.

Our wines have been carefully selected to compliment the food.



"Lemongrass Restaurant offers Dutch Indonesian food, full of unique flavour. We pride ourselves on serving delectable food. Our wine menu is tailored to pair beautifully with our meals and our restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere, and excellent service."

This is a quaint little place I would love to come back to! It’s a house that’s been changed to accommodate restaurant and dining. I really love the decor- seats with cushions nestled into corners which lends itself to awesome relaxation with friends! The menu is interesting and I enjoyed two starters which were yummy, especially their peanut satay sauce- a must! A friend had the sundried tomato and spinach pasta and she couldn’t stop raving about it Try the Thai deep fried ice cream- the crumb has flavours that transport you over to the Middle East! Yum! The staff are wonderful, engaging and friendly and even more so are the resident kitty cats
What a beautiful place to spend a quiet, romantic evening... The atmosphere was warm and inviting with unique decor of Dutch influence... Transporting you back to the old country... The staff were welcoming and extremely accommodating, making sure all the guests felt comfortable... Now for the food So as someone who considers themselves a semi-professional in the culinary industry I have to say the Chefs working at the Lemongrass take pride in their food... Freshly prepared... Beautifully seasoned... Vegetables grown by the owner herself who makes everyone feel right at home. My family and I will definitely be returning soon and highly recommend the Lemongrass restaurant to anyone who appreciates good food.
One of the best hidden gems in benoni, first time myself and the missus are here, decor and atmosphere are awesome, the food is beautifully prepared and loaded with flavour and fully organic, the service is 5 star and all the staff are welcoming and friendly, we will definately be regulars here!!well done to the staff and owners on this beautiful little place!!Our waitress Gugu was phenomenal!!
Service of note and food even better! Definitely a return spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner
I didn't quite like my experience here. When we got there, the lights were off and it was dead silent. It didn't seem like they were prepared for customers. They didn't have a drink menu and the waitress could not tell us the prices or what was on offer either. I suggest that they create a digital version of their drinks menu if the problem is paper wastage or costs. To top that off, we asked for the bill and had to remind the waitress twice before I walked up and paid.
We had a meal at Leongrass on Sunday. Food and service was really good. They seem to catch up speed again after Lockdown 3. The place needs some TLC and attention. Will definately be going back in the near future. I will recommend everyone to go and experience it for yourselves
Fancy a taste experience of Indonesia or Dutch Cuisine then Lemongrass is the place to go ! Situated in a cosmopolitan street this hidden Wonder has many surprises waiting for you. On entering this old world restaurant built over a 100 years ago you are greated with a style and wonder that the owner Ivonne Taylor has carefully and knowingly designed with many many imported exotic ornaments and absolutely gorgeous fabrics. As you walk over wooden floors with hand woven carpets you hear the sounds of gentle music in the background with a touch of soul. The waiters are very well groomed and dressed semi formal and they remind me of top class waiters that would only be found in a First class cabin of an international airline. They seem to breeze and flow through the room and take care of your needs without any effort. Lovely music with tunes from the pianists playing on the keys that got the patrons to clap hands after each piece from the piano making this even more memorable. Now the food - oh my goodness. Firstly the presentation is tops with attention to detail. We tried the Indonesian style food. My palate was alive with Subtly spiced without being extravagant flavors and secret spices no not referring to the food being chili’s —- it’s spiced Every bite a mouth watering experience. The food is vibrant and colourful and clearly preparation done by top chefs in the kitchen. In winter there is a crackling wood fire place. While you enjoying the meal browse around at the pressed ceiling and the hard wood floors. The area had a gentle smell of coriander , rosemary , turmeric and gentle spices. Sounds from the kitchen made you realize that food is freshly prepared. Hidden outside around a corner is an area where on certain nights folks come around as a community and listen to local artists playing their tunes on a stage. A few tables and a fire place for the cold evenings. Toilets facilities are of the cleanest I have seen. There is free WiFi for 2 hours and the waitrons are more than pleased to assist with that. A security guard looks after your vehicles in a well lit dedicated parking lot.
I googled nice restaurants near me for a date with my wife and thought this place would be perfect from pictures. I thought the environment would allow me to sit and have beautiful conversations with my wife. My experience was horrible, we had to return the cutlery because it was dirty, the waiter did not understand the menu and worst of all?Their table was not stable and their chair broke while I was eating and I fell to the ground. I didn’t fight because my wife asked me to just let it go. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone, period…
Atmosphere and service is 100% but the food was a total let down. I know a Thai green curry to have coconut milk and to be green and milky and yummy but what I got tasted and looked like beef stew and when I asked the waiter he said no this is the traditional way. That's the pic of the it.. the chicken and sundried tomato pasta was good and the desert of fried Banana was underwhelming to say the least.
Definitely one of the best local restaurants. Lemongrass treats us well, which is why we always return. Amazing food, that always has a new fresh touch to it. Chaz is a good waitron, with a good appreciation for the finer details about the food. The atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxing. Here’s to supporting our local restaurants over franchises!
