Indonesisch Restaurant Long Pura in Jordaan

Very disappointing experience — tourists should ask about extra charges We visited Long Pura with our one-year-old toddler. The food was fine, but we were disappointed by the lack of clarity about additional charges. The staff offered shrimp chips for our child, which we accepted, assuming they were complimentary. They were later added to the bill without any clear explanation beforehand. Bottled water was also brought to the table without clearly stating that it was a paid item, and staff repeatedly offered more. When the bill arrived, we were also reminded that the 15% tip was not included, which felt like pressure to leave that amount. As visitors from the United States, we expected clearer communication about anything that would increase our bill. If an item costs extra, customers should be told before it is served. Our advice to tourists: ask the price of anything offered, including water and snacks for children, and don’t feel obligated to leave a 15% tip simply because staff point out that it isn’t included. I felt deceived and very dissatisfied.

This is a great pmace to eat. The rice table is the perfect choice to share.

Super cosy restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Enjoyed the rijstaffel dishes!

Excellent and friendly service, authentic and fine Indonesian cuisine in a cosy and elegant setting. I recommend the steamed mushroom and tofu in banana leaf and the coconut filled "kueh dadar" pancake

Beautiful restaurant. We were a couple of vegetarians and a couple of carnivores. The vegetarians ordered a dish from the regular menu and really enjoyed it. We ordered a starter and a main course of meat and were very disappointed. The meat was very bland, especially considering the high price of the dish. We will not be back.

Food was exceptional, service was amazing. We had a sleeping baby with us and since we were sitting in the back with less people, they allowed us to use the stroller to keep the baby sleeping so we could enjoy a quiet meal. They were also incredibly baby friendly and gave him a little kitchen tour when he woke! A few of our group commented on how this was the best meal they've had in a while. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfect.

The meal was decent but really very expensive for the quantity and quality. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. The "rice platter" is €35 per person minimum and a 70cl bottle of water is €7.50!

Flavour explosion. So happy with ordering the rice table both meaty and vegetarian. The place was hopping when we arrived and even though we had no booking on a Friday night the staff accommodated us no problem at all. This place was recommended by one of the canal boat tour guides and did not disappoint.

Came here for dinner and ordered the rice plate for 23€. It was delicious. The lemon grass chicken was tender and packed with flavors. The spicy beef was the exact right amount of spicy (hot in the mouth but still lets you taste the next bite). The satay chicken was well cooked and the peanut sauce was on point. The spicy egg was a fun little surprise. The vegetables were a bit underwhelming. Most importantly: the rice was perfectly cooked. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Really reminded me of my trip to Indonesia. Would come back 100%

Good food and great service. Highly recommended.

Delicious and authentic. The chicken satay was so the sauce was spectacular. The fish for the main wrapped in banana leaves was incredible also. Fantastic place.

Went there to have dinner with my parents The staff explained how it was working The food was excellent, with lots of different dishes to try. A wide array of tastes, beef, chicken, lamb from a little spicy to real spicy As for conclusion, a nice staff that comes with delicious food I vividly recommend this place to try (again) Indonesian typical dishes 😋🩷

Brilliant food as you are immersed in Indonesian decor, clothing and people. The flavours were amazing. A real must for people who want to go beyond their comfort zone of Chips, Pizza and Burgers.

We had our last dinner in town there as walk-in guests first weekend in August. The front section of the restaurant was busy at 18h35 so we were seated at the back section of the restaurant (two additional group of 4-6 patrons were added to our section during our short dinner). Initially we were going with the à la carte option as waitress did mention portion for main dish is big and we can share one main dish among us two. But the menu is pretty long with multiple choices so we decided to go with the chefs table (1 course set menu - cheapest at €35 pp). We also swapped lamb main course with beef on this set menu. The photo shown here is the main course and four appetisers for two based on the set menu. Portion is definitely on the smaller side. What is not pictured here is 3 condiments (such as pickles) and 1 side provided as part of the 1 course chef’s menu. Service was good and she was efficient in covering the back section. But I did provide honest feedback when asked by the lovely waitress at the end upon settling the bill: The portion of this set menu is very small for two. Beef was way too overcooked - super chewy in both the appetiser and main dish of the set menu. Vegetables used in both appetiser and sides tasted like the frozen vegetable mix instead of fresh ingredients. Recommend not to order any set menu if you are at the restaurant. I do not personally plan to go back there. Btw, this restaurant does not do table / tap water. Total bill was just under €80 for two with one bottle (750ml) of sparkling water. For comparison, I spent €15 for two course lunch combo at Soho house next day lunch.

Loved the veggie Rijsttafel we were able to sit outside which was was great in summer , food was very fast but not that hot

This was our first time trying Indonesian food, and it couldn't have been a better introduction. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and everything was ready for our reservation. The restaurant felt like stepping into another country, and the food was absolutely outstanding. We ordered the rijsttafel, and every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The satay was especially memorable. We also really appreciated how accommodating the staff were—they happily adjusted the menu to suit our preferences without any fuss, which made the experience even better. If you're visiting Amsterdam and want to experience the city's Indonesian heritage, I highly recommend this restaurant. It was one of the most memorable meals of our trip.

The server was very pushy and demanding. She was pushy with the order, didn't really offer advice, and recommended the most expensive option. For my first time at an Indonesian restaurant, I was not at all impressed. Unfortunately.

Indonesian food is highly recommended when in Amsterdam. We had a lovely 3 course vegetarian rice table meal at Long Pura. Everything was delicious and fresh. They did a great job in explaining the course and what we are having and very flexible in making some adjustments for dietary restriction. Highly recommend this or other Indonesian experience when in Amsterdam. Gave the atmosphere a 4 star as the inside was low light and the rice tables made it warm. We sat outside as it was a gorgeous day.

The price was right; we thought the food was good. The service was a bit too pushy – you want to be able to choose and eat in peace.

We tried the chefs rice table. It was really good and well tasty. My only problem was, that the portion sizes were slightly too small. We would have loved another spoon or two of everything.

Really tasty food, occasionally a bit spicy, but there are alternatives here as well.

Great service and good food. But at the price expect a bit more from the food.

The food is delicious and the waiters really attentive. The waiters introduced the dishes and options well and were all really friendly and available.

Outstanding. Reservation online. Door was. Opened for me with warm welcome. I ordered the Vegetarian Rice Table and requested smaller servings as I was solo. I enjoyed the various dishes. The cucumber salad and vegetables in peanut sauce gado gadowas refreshing. The rice was light and fluffy. The eggplant was smooth and delicious, my favorite. The peanut tofu on a skewer was perfect. That sauce added a thick richness to the meal. Another tofu was deep fried with a lighter sauce. There was a broccoli, carrot, vegetable mix dish which added crunch. Every bite was unique. I was ready to roll out and will return to check out their dessert. Beautiful ambiance with attention to detail. The staff are friendly, thoughtful and professional. There was a party of 18, and one couple took a chance as a walk in. They got a table.

Unfortunately this was a poor experience overall, and there are better options out there. We ordered the 1-course rijsttafel and found it very pricey for the amount of food and also lacking in flavour. We are big lovers of all kinds of Asian food and were looking forward for a new experience. Sadly we felt that the dishes tasted bland and thought it could have been so much more... We did not get any good punches of flavour, as if everything was toned down too much to suit a western palate. We get that the amount of spices may need to be toned down a bit to cater to a wider range of clientele, but felt this one missed the sweet spot by quite a bit. Some of the dishes tasted as if they just used the same sauce with a different protein. We figured out the next day that it's possible to get almost twice the amout of food for the same price at another South Asian restaurant not far from there. To make matters worse, as soon as we placed our order, our waiter lost all interest on us, but not before he managed to upsell us some chips with peanut sauce. We felt like he got upset as us for not ordering a whole lot more food. We each had a glass of house wine, which was reasonably priced and a bottle of sparkling water. Overall we paid just under 100€ for just the two of us and left without feeling full and satisfied.

Honestly not worth the price for the quality/portion of food you get. Can find better rice table elsewhere. The food was mediocre at best.

Very attentive and friendly staff. It was my first time eating Indonesian food, but I found it very tasty.

The food was good but drinks arrived when we already started to dine. Additionally, my partner’s cocktail literally had some random floating coconut milk which wasn’t even listed among the ingredients. This resulted in an overly sweet drink that she barely drank to don’t ruin her appetite. The experience was quite average overall.

This was a great option for vegetarian Indonesian food. We shared the vegetarian rice table and had a great meal.

Wonderful indo food experience. Delicious meal and great service.

We had planned to eat elsewhere but everything was closed and then we happened upon this surprise! The food was really A1. Plentiful, flavourful and authentic (I’ve never been to Indonesia-ha!)

I went with my company colleagues a couple of days ago and being vegan I was a little doubtful if I could have the same foodie experience as the others. I was wrong. I was presented with a fantastic array of veganized dishes that drove me into a fantastic taste experience. Thank you so much chef and all the very nice staff! Will come again!

Lovely experience, great food and service. Loved the decor.

Extremely attentive service, delicious food, and a beautiful restaurant. They took our kids food allergies very seriously which we also appreciated. Highly recommend this place for authentic and delicious Indonesian cuisine!

Horrible food which gave me a stomach upset within 1 hour of eating my lamb dish. It is so overpriced for what is supposed to be proper Indonesian food but really it is not. Cost 145 euros for 4 main dishes and water. Save your money and your stomach!

Delicious food and attentive service. The 3-course menu is very varied.

The restaurant was fine, but definitely not worth the price in my opinion. The food was decent overall, though nothing really stood out as memorable or exceptional. Service was solid enough, but again, nothing that justified the premium pricing. For what we paid, I expected a much better dining experience. There are probably far better options in the city at this price point, and I personally would not return

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere thanks to the friendly and attentive service.

Best satay in Amsterdam, especially the lamb satay.

We shared the rice table for dinner and it was excellent. A fun and delicious dinner, with welcoming and efficient service.

This was the first time my husband and I tried Indonesian food, and we really enjoyed our experience at Long Pura. We shared a rice table (rijsttafels) which was the perfect way to try several dishes. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and seem to speak several languages. They do not serve tap water, so if you want water you will have to pay for it. Dinner for two, with four glasses of wine and a bottle of water was about 120 Euros.

Very nice indonesian restaurant. Friendly staff and the food was great!

It was difficult to get an overview of the food and menu options. The waiter was unwilling to split the bill. Never again.

We did the 3 course rice table dinner for two and loved it. Well served, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended

We didn't order the two person meals they were pushing, but I feel like we paid for it anyway. The food is great. I ordered the eggplant and my husband ordered the fish. They asked if we wanted rice and we said yes. We ordered drinks and they asked if they could bring us water too and did we want still or sparkling water and we said still. The waiter said he would bring crackers and peanut sauce to the table with our waters. When we received our meals a small bowl of pickled peppers came with it. Everything was excellent. The restaurant is conducive to quiet conversation with your tablemates. When we received our bill we found we were charged for everything separately--making this an expensive meal. What bothered us the most was the 7,5 Euros for a bottle of water when we would have been happy with tap water or no water since we carry our own hydroflasks along with us anyway.

Food was good and authentic. Service was good but the place was really crowded and there were only two people so things took very very long.

Lots of noise, very expensive, and a chicken soup for 11 euros that had practically no chicken.

We had the rice platter with six people and thoroughly enjoyed it! The lamb with coriander and spicy rendang was our favorite. The service was incredibly friendly; we only had to wait a little while for the drinks and the table. 100% recommended.

I am very happy I dined here because they were able to make my Rijsttafel gluten-free. Also, I was able to order their Rijsttafel as a solo diner. A lot of other restaurants require a 2 person minimum. The food was delicious. So was the strawberry ginger-ale mocktail.

I had never heard of a rice table before going to Amsterdam but now I am a fan! The dessert was great too!

It was really amazing. The settings, design and lightings were on point. The food was really good and the staffs were so warm and welcoming. Great ambiance.

The taste was average; the duck meat was very sweet. There weren't any dishes that I found particularly delicious, but nothing was particularly bad either.

Disclaimer: This was the only Indonesian restaurant I got to try in Amsterdam so I don't have a fair comparison to another establishment in the city. I'm primarily writing this review to commend the amazing, genuine service I got from Udin. He struck the perfect balance of professional and cheerful while I dined solo without the worry of needing to do small talk when I just wanted to fix my hunger. I ordered the lamb in a spicy coconut sauce (dish name: gule kambing) which was paired well with the saffron rice at Udin's recommendation after I had the appetizer steamed and fried bean curd (dish name: saté tahu). The dessert crepe (dish name: Kue Dadar Gulung), however, was an extra indulgence - It was good but not a wow factor because I think it could do without the flour on the plate. Overall, the food was tasty, ambiance peaceful, mostly visited by tourists, and a convenient location.

Everyone is surprised to hear about Indonesian food in the Netherlands, but that surprise quickly turns into delight. You'll feel happy enjoying a satisfying multi-course meal. If you have any questions, the staff will kindly answer them. Reservations are recommended.

After 3 weeks traveling Europe in our last night in Amsterdam I miss Indonesian food so much and I found this place, all the food so delicious even my husband said taste better then Indonesian food he ever tasted in Bali. Highly recommended and we shall be back. Thank you Valentino and the whole team.

How do I put the typical Langkat dodol here 😁

That was delicious, and the waitresses are so nice ! We had a great time eating there !

Delicious food and friendly staff

I used to live in Indonesia, so I’ve tried a lot of Indonesian food. This was very authentic food and atmosphere. I felt like I’d travelled back to Indonesia. Loved it

A great experience especially if you like Indonesian food.

An incredibly disappointing visit. The food was absolutely not to our liking. I don't mean to say it was bad, but we just really didn't enjoy it. We barely ate anything, and it wasn't even that cheap. The staff initially seemed friendly and accommodating. But, and I say this with all caution, it felt like a scam. They asked us if we'd like to try something typical Indonesian… we thought it was a nice gesture, but they charged us €15 for it. Steep, in my opinion. After we asked for the bill and paid, the friendliness completely disappeared. I'm used to at least being asked how everything was. After they took my payment, all we got was a "thank you, goodbye"… and then they were gone. I really can't recommend this restaurant.

Always delicious food and super friendly service, atmosphere is like being in Bali

The food and service are unbeatable; the prices are a bit high, but I suppose that's average for Amsterdam. 100% recommended.

One of the best Indonesian restaurants at a great price. Wonderful service

The food here is incredible. Service is fantastic. The ayam opor is a favorite of ours.

Great staff, very polite, responsive, funny, nice people, luxurious service. Top new. The food was delicious, but you really have to be a fan to like it with their exotic spices. I've been to a lot of Indonesian restaurants, but this one made the best and biggest impression on me. I highly recommend it 🥰♥️

Absolutely fantastic. A beautiful restaurant, wonderful friendly warm knowledgeable staff, the most amazing food bursting with flavour. Would 100 percent recommend anyone to try this. We did the rice table

Good portion of food for Asians like us so we ordered two pax of sate sets, two soups and two mains to share to four of us. Great service!

The food was most disappointing. There was no sign of the subtle spices that make Indonesian food among the most refined in the world. Only the rendang was at least hot/spicy, but without the lemongrass and coconut that should have dominated.

This was our second visit. A very warm and friendly welcome. Attentive service. I don't have much experience with Indonesian cuisine, but I found everything absolutely delicious... the satay sauce is amazing. The food is very spicy, so be careful! 😁

We were a group of 6 and dined here last minute. We ordered the rijsttafel menu €40. Food taste: it was good and you can get the same quality from another Indonesian-run restaurant. Food quantity: it was not worth for the amount that we paid. I do think it will be worth if there are a table of 2 or 4. They won’t give extra food if it’s not enough, but the portions were just too small for bigger groups. Ambience & location: it was good and easily reachable Service: typical Indonesian - warm, friendly and smiling staff Final verdict: it is good for smaller groups, but better to look for other restaurants if you’re a bigger group (4+ pax). You can easily find the same quality and delicious food in another Indonesian-run restaurants. They also do not serve tap water - I always find this a big no as a former restauranteur. I understand that revenue needs to be generated, but no tap water is always a minus for me. It’s 2025 — serve the water when asked.

For me one of the best Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands, even if a bit pricey.

Recommended Restaurant, nice atmosphere, friendly and very tasty

This is really different, it's exactly like what we usually eat in Indonesia, 10000/10, it's the absolute best, the employees are also super friendly, I'm really in love with it💗💗💗

We were advised to try Indonesian cuisine while in Amsterdam and we were so glad that we lucked into Long Pura. Four of us shared a "rice table", a varied assortment of 7 amazingly spiced dishes plus sides. Friendly attentive service, quiet atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended!

Buzzing place with great service and good indonesian food. Perfect night out

Delicious food and super friendly staff

Great service, atmosphere, and food. My family loved the Rice Table. Hope to get to return to Amsterdam and will differently return to Long Pura!

This restaurant is great! You discover Indonesian flavors, but be aware that some dishes are spicy. A wonderful find! Remember to book ahead as people eat very early (6 pm in Amsterdam).

We came here because we thought the reviews on google were good, but we didn’t like it. We like Indonesia food, and we always enjoy the Indonesia food when we visit Amsterdam. Unfortunately the one we used to go is closed. The taste of the food here is not as tasty as the one we’ve visited before on Spuistraat. The price here is much higher. We are so surprised. I believe there are many more Indonesia restaurants in Amsterdam, we just pick this one unluckily this time. I believe some people will enjoy the food here, but not for us.

For the prices, I personally felt food was not worth it.

We were recommended by a local x 2 & we were not disappointed. Very attentive staff, authentic cuisine & so very delicious. I will come again when I revisit Amsterdam

Really disappointing after looking forward to Indonesian rice table in Amsterdam for sometime. As another reviewer noted, they just sort of sling the premade food at the tourists and don’t think much else about serving you. the feeling you get is they don’t care whether or not you come back and I guess they have enough business from tourists that don’t bother with reviews that they can keep it going. I hate to write a review like this, but there’s gotta be better Indonesian food out there for a tourist in Amsterdam.

The food was delicious, and the staff were very attentive and funny. They're happy to help if you're unsure about what to order. It was another successful evening!

Food was ok but a bit overpriced. Personnel very friendly and available though.

We ordered a rice table which was delicious and I would recommend thoroughly if you want to try lots of different types of dishes. The host and service was excellent

Food was very flavorful! Would recommend trying this out, especially if you've never had Indonesian food (I hadn't before), as the flavor profiles were fantastic

We turned up at the restaurant at 9pm on a busy Saturday night having left a nearby Indonesian restaurant on Herenstraat due to the rudeness of the host. Despite the restaurant being packed they sat us near the bar and managed to find us a table in 10 minutes. The staff were attentive both while we were waiting for our table and during the meal. We took the chef’s rijstafel and all of the quality and taste of the dishes were excellent. Highly recommend!

I am a budget traveler but not a big eater. I enjoy a lots of food with a lots of different restaurants. I do not and will not wanted to come back to this restaurant again. So long and have a good day. Edit after restaurant replied: Yes, 4 adults and everyone pay Er$40 dollars but just received 8 small dishes of meats and with no refill. The size of the dish just like a muffin.Your price was post but you did not show your dish size and say nothing about the no refill even if you are hungry.I feel like this is a rip off.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff in traditional Indonesian clothing. Good atmosphere and food.

The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere was certainly okay, but the space is small (narrow). I thought the prices were too high.

The restaurant was very busy every time we had walked passed so we had high expectations - and they were definitely met. Wonderfully warm service, beautiful interior and (most importantly) delicious food. We had the vegetarian rijstafel and it was a fantastic selection of very different, very yummy things. Only sad that we were too full for dessert.

Wow! Been to many Indonesian restaurants, but this was beyond expections! Outstanding food, great presentation (yellow Rice elegantly packed in fresh banana leafs), table full of uniquely flavored traditional dishes. Very friendly and professional service (thanks Anna 😀). Definitly a strong recommendation when you are hungry in Amsterdam!

The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. We had a wonderful meal.

My wife and I were walking around Amsterdam looking for a place to eat, and we were not disappointed in our choice! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic, Dutch-Indonesian food experience! We got the vegetarian rice table, complete with tons of sides that were all delicious! We especially liked the tofu dish (dark brown) and the eggplant dish, as both were seasoned wonderfully! The egg dish was also good, and quite spicy. The food was ready in record time, which was also a plus! The staff were extremely accommodating with my food allergies and made sure none of our food had any nut products in it. The staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable about the food they were serving! The only cons were that the meal was quite pricey, and the restaurant did not let us know before ordering that the water would be 7 euros.

We got the famous Rijstaffel and not one item tasted great enough to go back to this place. And the service is ridiculously horrendous. The two male waiters are the worst ones I have ever experienced. Never again.

Our best meal in Amsterdam. And it was gluten free. One of the few meals we had that did not include French fries!

The staff immediately greeted me and offered me a seat. They were really kind and fast. The food had an amazing selection of typical indonesian foods that are cooked with skill and passion. The prices are a bit high but it's definetely worth it

A delightful introduction to Indonesian cuisine. 5 stars for the service and warm welcome!

Very authentic Indonesian food (confirmed by a friend in our group) Generous portions, friendly service, and clear explanations of the menu We ordered the chef’s special course including dessert and it was a lovely experience Even though we were a large group, the staff handled everything professionally and all the dishes were served at perfect timing There was a great variety of choices and flavours, all at a reasonable price One impressive detail was the heating pad with a candle inside placed in the centre of the table to keep the food warm. It allowed us to enjoy everything with the same fresh flavour from start to finish. Such a clever idea Big thanks to my friend for recommending this place. A perfect memory
