About Satay on Charcoal

South Perth regulars follow the charcoal smoke down Mends Street for street-style satay skewers fresh off the outdoor grill. Expect juicy beef and chicken charred over live coals, coated in thick, chunky peanut sauce. Operating strictly open-air, the setup channels an unpretentious warung where skewers are grilled to order at the dedicated BBQ station. Hungry patrons round out their orders with plates of crisp Nasi Ayam Goreng and generous cuts of smoked beef bathed in rich gravy.

  • Signature Charcoal Satay: Beef and chicken skewers grilled over live fire and served with thick, chunky peanut sauce.
  • Nasi Ayam Goreng: A trusted menu staple pairing crisp fried chicken with fragrant seasoned rice.
  • Smoked Beef: Generous portions of sliced beef swimming in thick, aromatic gravy.
  • Alfresco Seating: Open-air dining that captures an authentic, fast-paced street-food atmosphere.
