Kawan Dining is a modern Southeast Asian restaurant nestled in Launceston, Tasmania.

The name "Kawan" means "friend" in Indonesian, which reflects the restaurant's philosophy: to offer warm, welcoming hospitality where every guest leaves feeling like part of the family.

Founded by Efendi and inspired by the caring Tasmanian community, Kawan Dining brings together bold flavors from Indonesia, Thailand, and beyond—all crafted with fresh, locally-sourced Tasmanian produce and a modern culinary touch.
