Indonesisch Restaurant Senayan in Wijk 28 Centrum

Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Rendang Bitterballen, the Makreel dish and the fried banana dessert.

Had a delicious meal, the quality of the food is excellent. Service a bit stiff, but that doesn't spoil the dining experience.

The food was excellent and the greenhouse at the back of the room is magnificent!

First time at an Indonesian restaurant, excellent experience. The food was tasty and in just the right amount. The place is nice and clean. The staff is always available to meet customer needs. The space isn't overly large, which reduces the noise and allows for conversation. Access for those with disabilities is difficult. Various vegetarian options are available. Prices are in line with the amount consumed. If you're interested, please like this review.

Excellent vegetarian options - easily the best meal of my vacation!

Delicious food, friendly service, in short, a great place with good coffee.

extremely bad drink (the indonesian drink), I don’t even want to take a picture to waste my phone memory. The waitress was also very rude, tried to scam by with a wrong number of payment and claimed it’s additional tax. Never come back!

The food was very good and the rijsttafel was a great way to try a wide variety of Indonesian dishes. There was a lot of variety, and we particularly enjoyed being able to taste different flavours and spices. Unfortunately, the service was very poor. We waited around 45 minutes for our food, and after about 20 minutes another member of staff came to our table to ask whether we had already placed our order. This made the whole experience quite frustrating and gave the impression that the service was disorganised. The food deserves a good review, but the service needs significant improvement.

The food was excellent. Lovely atmosphere and good service. It was our choice of restaurant to end our enjoyable visit to The Hague on a high note.

The food here is outstanding! After a long day we decided to do a rijstafel for dinner. Istana seemed to have the best reviews in the area so we tried them out and I’m glad we did. The restaurant itself is beautiful with ample seating and a large bar. We did not make a reservation and were seated promptly regardless. Our waitress was very personable, made some great suggestions, and took great care of us. Definitely one of the best we’ve had since being in the Netherlands. And if you’re worried about not speaking Dutch, don’t as they speak perfect English. The rijstafel we had was incredible. While it seemed like more of a fusion than traditional, their options were all created with care and were numerous. Special kudos goes to the sweet beef dish that they had. Definitely a great place to try in The Hague!

Our 3rd time at Istana. Delicious Rijstafel, great value for money, very friendly service, we really enjoyed our lunch. When we are in the area we always look forward to lunch here. A special place

Come here, and explore delicious food and enjoy warm-hearted service. We came for dinner and we chose from the long list of vegetarian dishes. We can especially recommend the Jackfruit burritos and the corn cookies . Don't forget to taste the home-made peanut butter sauce!

Delicious & affordable. One downside, though: no bottle of tap water available for a small fee (most restaurants 1-2 euros or even free). If you want water: a liter bottle for 6.50. Not OK! A generally scandalous problem in the hospitality industry in the Netherlands: drinks a measly 20cl nowadays average €3.50 (Abroad often still 33cl for the same price, almost double)

Just great! Don’t wait go here!

Very good quality and relatively authentic indonesian food. Staff were very kind and helpful and always available. Restaurant at late hour was still almost full.

Super friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. Food was delivered quickly, super tasty and freshly cooked.

We had such a delicious meal! The staff is really super hospitable and friendly and were happy to help make a choice (because there is so much!). Nice atmosphere and definitely recommended!

The food was delicious, as always👌

From the outside, the restaurant looks very unassuming, but inside it's very cozy. The service is very friendly and efficient! The food was absolutely delicious and something truly different. Highly recommended!

We asked for a table and were seated, but no one ever came to give us a menu, take our order, or even acknowledge us. What made the experience even more disappointing was that several staff members were sitting at a nearby table eating while we were being completely ignored. I would have understood if someone had simply told us they were on a break and that there would be a short wait, but there was no communication at all. So we ended up leaving after wasting time..... Truly shocking service.

Simply amazing. One of the best meals I had while in the Netherlands. I like spicy food, but the food here isn't for those with a low tolerance for spice. The taste is simply superb. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The food wasn't bad but it wasn't really flavorful... bland, I think the cook forgot the salt I have to say I went to Waroeng Padang last time and the taste is better there

We arrive at an almost empty restaurant, 3 other tables with food. After we sit down, the restaurant fills up quickly. We place our order after we were helped to read the menu. We specify that we do not want spicy food. We are served our drink and they charge for water. 1.5dl. It is also not possible to ask for a loss. We wait a solid 45min before the first course is served, a total of 69min from when we sat down. Our food is served one by one and the last option of food comes almost 20min after the first was served. And the food was so spicy that the nose started to run and the lips burned. At a price of 100€ it has not been worth your time or money. There are many other options nearby.

Delicious food, friendly staff. We were allowed to bring our dog. Highly recommended.

The food was exquisite! A bit on the pricey side compared to the small portions, though. The waitress (I'm guessing the owner) was incredibly stressed out, which made her extremely unfriendly and even rude.

A very nice restaurant with good food. We were there on Sunday evening and it was packed. It's best to make a reservation.

The food is fine. Not spectacular, but our expectations were perhaps a bit high after all those 5-star reviews. It is cramped, loud, and very busy on our evening. The staff did what they could, but personal attention wasn't really possible because of this. Still, I think we would eat here again next time.

Went there on a weekday. The noise level was outrageous, I had to keep shouting to my friend. The place is so packed you feel you cannot move or breathe. Food is OK, not worth what you pay though. Would not be back, didn’t find anything remarkable and it’s not a restaurant made to make the customer have an amazing experience.

Yesterday we ordered a rijsttafel for two people, you get so many different dishes. It was very tasty 😋 in other words, highly recommended. We will be coming here more often!

Very tasty food. I highly recommend it!

I made a reservation online yesterday. It was clearly stated that you only receive a confirmation once the reservation has been accepted. I called this afternoon and we were able to arrive an hour earlier, which was arranged very nicely. Once inside, we were greeted warmly and shown to our table. From the outside, the restaurant might not immediately stand out, but inside the atmosphere is cozy and warm. We opted for shared dining and everything was truly delicious: well-seasoned, fresh, and prepared with care. The gin tonic was also top-notch. When we arrived at five o'clock it was still quiet, but during the evening the restaurant filled up almost completely. That really says it all. Definitely a place I will be returning to soon!

The food was delicious, but they tried to convince us to pay in cash instead of by card, which seemed a bit odd. Tap water costs €1 per glass, and they also charge extra for hot sauce. They don't warn you about these extra charges.

Small portions and very spicy even when mild mentioned. To expensive for the qualité proposed.

I can only recommend this place! They have very good and authentic food, the staff is nice.

The food here is outstanding. We were lucky to get a table. One dish and rice are enough for one person. I would definitely choose this restaurant if I wanted to eat Indonesian food.

One of the best food I have ever eaten in my life 10/10 The flavor profile is fantastic

The food is tasty, the portions are small, and it wasn't busy, but everything took a very long time. For example, 25 minutes for 2 colas. Also, it was sometimes difficult to understand each other well due to the noisy sound.

Good food. A bit pricey for such a meager portion.

Friendly service, fantastic food, clean and tidy. We sat at tables opposite the bar where 3 XL men were sitting on the bar stools. So there was very little room for people walking past, with the result that coats and bags swept across our table. Very inconvenient, and a beer fell over.

Good food. PIN not working, but we’re only told after ordering. So had to get cash from ATM with too high fees.

Really delicious, but brutally spicy 😅

Very tasty and fair price I will be back For enthusiasts, if you ask for spicy you get something very good that isn't necessarily just okay for those who have heard somewhere that such a thing as spicy exists, or for those who always have to explain that spicy with lots of flavor exists too

We have really been to quite a few Indonesian restaurants all over the country, but this one is in our top 3! The rijsttafel is highly recommended. More than enough food, and every single dish has enchanting flavors! The staff is incredibly friendly! Lovely atmosphere; it was very busy, but you hardly noticed it from your own table!

Wonderful restaurant with great service. We had the vegetarian rijstaffel and were not disappointed. A splendid variety of flavours and very filling.

Great food, very flavourful, amazing vegetarian options! The service is what you’d expect on average and the ambiance is that of a generic asian restaurant.

Surprised for the food quality, especially the fried noodles taste really nice Recommended

Wonderful restaurant. Super cozy. Friendly, efficient service. Delicious rijsttafel.

Pleasant seating and friendly service. The food was definitely good, and our kids (8 and 10) were fans too.

A bit too dark to read the menu easily...

It's strange that the staff doesn't speak Indonesian

We both had the Rames menu, one meat and one vegetarian. Both were simply delicious. Everything was wonderfully fresh, a lovely balance between velvety tender and crunchy, and soft and spicy. A perfect meal, a nice bottle of Riesling, and very reasonable prices for what you get. Attentive, hospitable service... Definitely worth repeating.

We had a wonderful meal here. It's a lovely, cozy restaurant where the staff goes above and beyond to provide you with everything you need. Very friendly, attentive, and we thoroughly enjoyed the rijsttafel (rice table). We'll definitely be back when we're in The Hague!

Good food and friendly staff, but it's definitely not Indonesian food. It's more Chinese with a Thai twist and a nod to Indonesian cuisine. We were expecting real Indonesian food, hence the lower rating.

Tofu/tohoe sate and the tohoe cashew are probably both vegan. The sate dish tasted ok, the cashew one was sweet and a bit tastier.

Ate here for the first time during a weekend getaway. We made a reservation based on the good reviews, and rightly so. It was packed on a Saturday night, but everything went smoothly. The food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and immediately brought me a new drink when they accidentally knocked over my bottle. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal on a busy Saturday night. The staff worked tirelessly. We wanted for nothing and received prompt and friendly service. The food was truly delicious!! Highly recommended!!

We were visiting Indonesia and really wanted to try an Indonesian restaurant. We stumbled upon this one by chance, as another had closed. I have to say that was probably a stroke of luck. We had a total of four different dishes, all of which tasted excellent. The service was also friendly and organized, even though the lady managed everything on her own (it wasn't very busy). I don't have anything to compare it to, but I can definitely recommend this one.

The food was delicious, everything was well taken care of! Very friendly service. The value for money is excellent: high quality for a reasonable price. That's why I give it 5 stars.

Fantastic little cozy restaurant with delicious snacks.

Very nice food! Restaurant also is nicely decorated and the staff very friendly.

We've eaten here many times, and it was delicious. Yesterday was a disappointing experience. After an hour, we were asked to get up and drink coffee at a cramped standing table across from the restroom because people were waiting. We had a reservation. Absolutely awful. The soto was watery. We left it, but it was still on the bill. Guleh was delicious. A plus. The satay kambing was expensive and not very inspiringly marinated. I definitely won't be going here again on a Saturday night. You can try to maximize your turnover, but that will cost you loyal customers.

It's a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The food was fantastic. We had an Indonesian rice table, and everything we tried was delicious. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Even though we live in Oss, North Brabant, if we ever go back to The Hague, we'll definitely go again.

I went here with a group of friends and unfortunately, I regret it. If you order something, it arrives 40 minutes late—no joke—and in the meantime, they keep making you order drinks. Additionally, they forgot my food and I had to wait another fifteen minutes for it, while the rest of the group's food arrived at the same time. As an excuse, I was given extra ready-made, tasteless rice, and in the end, I was full of rice and a piece of meat. I thought Indonesian cuisine was full of spices, but apparently not here. The food barely had any spices in it!

Delicious food, good service, good place to eat

The restaurant’s reservations policy is completely disregarded. After making a reservation, we waited for over 30 minutes next to the toilet. The restaurant was overcrowded in a very small space. Unfortunately, we couldn’t comment on the food as we left.

We had a delicious meal. We had the Rijstafel (meat rice table) for two. It was more than enough, and we finished it all. The result: we left with full bellies, looking back on a wonderful taste sensation.

We always go here for Indonesian Rendang, eggplant, satay and various other dishes. Best on week days in the afternoon when you can easily get a place.

We were in The Hague for a weekend and wanted to try some Indonesian food. We chose Istana based on reviews, and it was the right choice! It was delicious, a bit busy (but a good sign), and the service was pleasant. The price was very reasonable.

The food was delicious, but the homemade drinks were disappointing. The portions are also getting smaller and smaller. Unfortunately, what you read in the reviews about small portions is true. The price is not commensurate with the food, and unfortunately, this will be our last time here.

I thought the food itself tasted good. But it was so small. And then you have to pay extra for literally everything. They ask, "Do you want pickled cucumber?" You get a mini container with four pieces. Then you say, "Do you want prawn crackers?" but you get charged for everything. Sorry, but way too expensive. Even when I asked for a container, I had to pay for it. So no, I won't be back. It cost almost 100 euros. And I don't think that's worth it. I'd rather spend a day cooking at home. It tastes even better that way.

Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent and very friendly service. Excellent value for money.

Exceptionally delicious, mostly small Indonesian dishes. Beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed them.

The food was small portions; one dish isn't enough for a big eater. The vegetables in my dish were hard and not cooked properly. The desserts were also small: ice cream with fried banana for €8.50. It was two small pieces of banana and one mini scoop of ice cream with a dollop of whipped cream. The flavors were good, but few and expensive. I won't be going back.

Nice Indonesian restaurant. Can be very busy; bringing some patience helps. We enjoyed the set menu with around 16 small dishes; very tasty!

Delicious Indonesian food. Highly recommended!

Amazing dinner! Had the Rames Menu Mix and the chef surpised me with a wonderful mix of flavors. My wife has Nasi Goreng Sayuran blissful! Nice ambience

The food was truly delicious. We had the meat/fish rice table. The service was also super friendly. The only downside was the acoustics; it was very crowded, so we had to speak loudly to hear each other.

Came here with local friends who booked. Absolutely amazing food and service despite it being very busy. Would definitely come back again when in the area.!

Ordered online, received a well packed and tasty meals. We ordered sate kip, bebek asam manis and daging semoer, all very good. Especially daging semoer, beef was very tender and spiceful.

Good food and service! Cozy plaze!

Good food, friendly service, acoustics less than great, lots of people, lots of noise.

Ordered different type of meat with rice via delivery app, all were tasty. Delivery time was reasonable and packaging was perfect.

Went back after years. It's not what it used to be, the food is generally good. As for the rest, you have to discover the overall quality of the dishes for yourself.

The three of us enjoyed an Indonesian rice table. Service was quick. The food quality was more than adequate.

Dined in Oct 2025. Lunch for 2. Ordered lamb shank, sea bass, yellow ginger rice and drinks. Lamb was good, soft and fall off the bones. Sea bass was so so. We were the only one in the restaurant having food. Relaxing and enjoyable meal.

Delicious dishes, inefficient (but polite) service.

Amazing food, beautiful taste, super-friendly staff

It was delicious again! Thank you very much.

Very tasty food with a wide selection. Service was friendly and attentive. It's a bit noisy inside the restaurant, but otherwise everything was satisfactory.

Tasty. One downside is that the fried rice tastes like shrimp.

Delicious food and friendly service! Modern and atmospheric restaurant.

We had a delicious meat/fish rice table. Fresh ingredients and delicious flavor. The service was very friendly.

Excellent rijsttafel! Liked the fish and meat selection more than meat only.

Yesterday, September 26th, we booked a last-minute table without a reservation. Despite it being full, we were given the option of two spots at the bar. It was a great spot where we had a good insight into the dynamic young Istana team. Everything went smoothly, without any discrepancies. Friendly and extremely hospitable, which is worth mentioning. The price-quality ratio is excellent. One criticism regarding the pickup by the couriers: they would adjust the routing by bringing the bags to the front of the restaurant on demand, leaving the aisle clear for service. Otherwise, highly recommended.

One of the best I ever tried. Just delicious and authentic taste. We ordered Rames Sate Special Udang pateh Gulai kambling

This is a good place where you can get an absolute great meal! They have great Indonesian food. Everything is fresh and they really try to give an authentic feel. The restaurant itself is really modern. The service is good and everyone working there is very friendly. I would definitely recommend this one for a special evening because it is not cheap but still very good!

We had a really good experience. The food was delicious!

We had another delicious rijsttafel (rice table) at Istana tonight. Again, because Miriam and I go there often and are completely satisfied. What struck us this time was how professionally and very relaxed the two of them managed to serve a seemingly full restaurant to everyone's satisfaction. We subtly asked for their names, so our compliments to Milou and Noek! We hope to see you again!

Friendly, very tasty and with the right spiciness 👌
