Book Direct with the Owner at Istana with Tourism Gold Coast in Thornleigh, for all your restaurant and Food Reservations.
Located in Thornleigh on Sydney’s upper north shore, Istana Restaurant’s pastel-coloured dining room is always busy, and has been for more than 20 years. Take that – and the fact that most of its patrons are Asian – as a good sign. Specialising in Nyonya (a rich blend of Chinese and Malaysian cuisines), Istana’s food is renowned as authentic and infused with their own original twist. The Istana king prawns – half shelled king prawns cooked with blanchan, onions, fried shrimp, garlic, onion, ginger and fresh curry leaves – is one dish that keeps regulars returning time after time, as is the Malaysian chilli mud crab. Istana’s homemade durian ice-cream should be tried at least once.
