This was a high class restaurant indeed - really attractive decor, marble, light and airy and floral arrangements to die for - and we were surrounded by the wealthiest of Indonesian society; the next table comprised a family complete with purple-uniformed nanny who spent our whole meal chasing round the unruly son and heir, who was running around screaming.

Great local food, I've tried three main courses and all of them tasted delicious. The prices are pretty low, but the portions could certainly be bigger, so you might need a starter. The waiting staff are friendly and attentive

Located at the heart of Jakarta Business District in Plaza Central, this place is bustling and alive during dinner time. Guests are bringing their foreign guests for a hint of Indonesian food highlight in a westernized standard of food presentation, hospitality services, as well as milder taste. Our Japanese colleagues love the decor as well as enjoying life music which... More

The menu was great with various choices. Do ask for their signature item - a meter long sausage! as an appretiser. Really good. The beef rendang was great and tender. Service by staff Chris was top notch, professional and always on the lookout in reading guests needs.

This restaurant has a beautiful colonial decor. It is very much recommended if you have visitors from abroad, and wish to impress them! My favorites are dendeng balado (i think there is no other place that can match the crispness of the dendeng) and oseng-oseng kecipir. The location in the main business road at central Jakarta makes it quite easy... More

Beautiful restaurant. Best Rendang (spicy beef) ever! We also enjoyed a refreshing kelapa sirsak juice. If you are visiting Jakarta and want to know what great Indonesian food tastes like, this is the place!

This place was so nice that we came back twice in one week. We tried a little bit of everything (beef, chicken, rice, noodles, fish) and all was delicious. Service is friendly and very efficient. The decor is amazing, very clean and charming. If you are a big group, you can have a private room for 14 people.
