Kapulaga Indonesian Restaurant in Wijk 00 Centrum

Great restaurant, the food is delicious We ate there twice Friendly people

Wide selection of authentic dishes. With every dish, a new palette of unmistakable aromas opens up. Just as if you are back in Indonesia for a moment. Compliments!

Awesome service and genuine Indonesian good. Trimakasi

Very cold in winter and a lot of noise from outdated air conditioning in summer. Food is very good. Staff speak poor English, so it is difficult to make contact.

The vegetarian rijsttafel is very tasty. The staff is friendly.

we had a great evening and really enjoyed the vegetarian rice platter we ordered. Very friendly staff as well.

Was better than I thought. Nice tables with real linnens which I like and the food was good with large portions and good service.

We ate here last Tuesday. The reviews we read speak nothing but praise, but unfortunately, we had a different experience. The lamb satay was tough and lukewarm, probably reheated from Sunday, as they are closed on Mondays. We ate one skewer and left the rest. The tofu telor was indeed freshly fried, but you needed a magnifying glass to find the tofu. The dish was smothered in a thick layer of peanut sauce. The gado gado was very wet and lay in a puddle of water. On top of the vegetables was a thick layer of peanut sauce. All in all, a disappointment. The waitress who served us was friendly but did not respond to our complaint about the food. Too bad, we had been looking forward to some delicious Indonesian food so much.

Had a lovely dinner here with friends on 2024 for christmas dinner. Very lovely staff, they will explain to you what the food is and what's the favorite one is! Incredible food (definitely!) and a peaceful atmosphere inside! 🥰😋 Best Indonesian restaurant in Maastricht!

Had a wonderful meal! The rijsttafel was very tasty and plentiful. Had a delicious cendol to finish. My only comment is that it is a bit too Westernized ;-) The spiciness was low and there was a bit too much sauce in the rendang. But good for people unfamiliar with the cuisine.

A restaurant that offers Indonesian cuisine. Ask the staff if you are looking for halal menu, they offer it.

Excellent Indonesian restaurant. Lots of choices and generous portions. Friendly service.

Had a delicious meal yesterday. As half Indonesian, you tend to be critical, but what I ate was very tasty!! The service was great and friendly. The atmosphere was also good and cozy with the Indonesian music in the background. If I lived in the area, I would definitely eat there more often!! In short, highly recommended.

Good service, good food, good value for money, highly recommended.

Had a super delicious meal! There are also vegetarian dishes and a vegan dish.

So much food we couldn't finish. Quite nice.

Very warm and friendly welcome. The food was especially delicious.

We dined here last Saturday and are very satisfied with the entire experience. The restaurant has a lovely, atmospheric interior that makes you feel welcome immediately. The service was very friendly. English was spoken, but we didn't find that a problem at all. In fact, combined with the fact that Indonesian staff worked in both the kitchen and the service, it actually added an extra authentic feel. It only enhanced the experience of truly dining in an Indonesian restaurant. We ordered a rijsttafel (rice table) and the food was truly delicious. Another positive point we noticed was that all dishes were served at the perfect temperature. This is especially important with a rijsttafel, as the dishes remain on warming plates. Because everything was served nice and hot, it stayed at a pleasant temperature throughout the entire dinner. That made the food extra tasty. Although there was no wine on the menu, we ordered a bottle of Merlot for €27. We enjoyed it very much. As far as we are concerned, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add this to the menu as well. All in all, we had a very pleasant evening with delicious food and friendly service. We will definitely come back here again!

Had a delicious meal and shared dishes

Amazing curry options. The Soto Ayam, Daging Balado and Gulai Kambing Betwai were awesome in terms of flavors. Would suggest everyone looking for an authentic Indonesian experience.

The restaurant is narrow, has a few nice details on the walls, but is otherwise decorated fairly neutrally. The service is incredibly friendly, partly English-speaking and partly Dutch. We indicated that we wanted to order an extra spicy rijsttafel, which was prepared "to order." The dishes tasted delicious, especially the spicy ajam (chicken) and the blado; we received no fewer than 12 dishes, each with a very distinct flavor! Kapulága is located just one street parallel to the main route from the Wyck to the old center of Maastricht, so you have to take a bit of a detour, but it is certainly worth it!

I ordered Pepesan, but unfortunately, this dish was completely tasteless. Otherwise, it remains a recommended restaurant. Although the heating could be turned up a bit, it was cold inside.

Excellent location, the rijsttafel with meat and prawn skewers was superb, everything arrived very quickly, the service was very friendly and attentive, and above all, it was easy to have a conversation – the acoustics weren't too loud. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful meal in a well-maintained restaurant. A cloth tablecloth and napkin are just some of the little things I appreciate in a restaurant. The meal was well-presented with vegetables and extras like pickles and seroendeng. As an Indo, I thought it was very well-prepared and delicious.

We were able to get the last available table for the same evening we called. We ordered a rice table for two persons. Well presented, flavorful, plentiful and very friendly service. Highly recommend when in Maastricht!

Food on point, service very friendly. Surprisingly affordable.

Delicious, authentic Indonesian food. Very friendly service. The restaurant is simply but tastefully decorated. In short: no frills, just a delightful meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

We order soto ayam and soup tofu....for the soto and soup is ok but the rice is half cook

Friendly but inefficient staff. Over an hour's wait and I've had better Indonesian food. I don't recommend it.

Delicious food. Friendly service.

What a supprice of a little restaurant a bit away from the other restaurants in this area. Great service, very good food and plenty of it as well. We ordered two different main courses with starters, and the whole table was minutes later filled up with a lot of small plates with different tastes of vegetables and meat. Need to be really hungry to have dinner here 👍 highly recomended

Delicious dishes with fantastic flavors. Six of us enjoyed meat and fish rijsttafels, complemented by super soft daging smoor and flavorful pepesan. The service was very friendly, and the Tjendol is highly recommended.

I found this place on Google while visiting the area. The restaurant is pretty isolated a bit out of the city but still about a 5 km walk from the train station. I ordered the daging balado and the cumi santan set, and honestly the food was really disappointing (Not standard recipe as actual dish). The flavors were way off and I couldn’t even tell what the cooking style was supposed to be. The soto was so salty it was basically inedible. The food really needs a serious improvement. I hope the chef learn enough basic cooking skill of indonesian cuisine because right now it’s just not worth the visit.

Beautiful place, very friendly service and super delicious food

Went there for dinner today for my birthday; the food was delicious, just like sitting at my grandma's table back in the day. Very friendly service. Atmospheric place.

Scores good on all points. Good food for good price. Fast and pleasant service. Best reserve your table during the weekend.

A pleasant little restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. Their sambals are the right kind of spicy!

We had vegetarian appetizers and two vegetarian gado gado kompleet dishes, and we were completely transported back to Indonesia, enjoying the food. Highly recommended! (Next time we'll try the set menu ;p)

A small but perfectly formed, beautifully decorated Indonesian restaurant. We had a selection of different dishes, all of which were delicious and gave us a glimpse into the diversity of Indonesian cuisine. Fancy something different? ...highly recommended 🙏

Delicious traditional Indonesian food. Soto soup was delicious. Definitely recommended if you're looking for this.

Excellent dinner, delicious food, excellent service, and great value. Fantastic desserts.

We had a Kakanda for two people. A really proper portion of very tasty food. The service was great. I can only recommend that restaurant to you.

Great food! Friendly staff! Good amount of food provided for the price.

Goed biertje, goede bediening, goed eten. Gewoon goed. We hebben een heerlijk rijsttafel genoten in een mooie ambiance met typische Indonesische muziek.

Delicious rice table, well-prepared and a nice choice

The service was polite and the atmosphere was good. The food looked good. The taste was much worse and tasted out of date/not fresh. I became very nauseous that evening and still don't feel well. Unfortunately, I won't be returning (a waste of money). 👎🏽

Completely underrated, located on a side street, but if you want to try an Indonesian Rijsttafel, then this is the place for you.

I'm an Indo so you know I'm gonna base my review on my auntie's cooking. The food was good, not my auntie's good, but good. It was flavorful with the right amount of spice. The sambal they served with the shrimp crackers was really tasty. The service was very attentive so no problems there. The place is very cute and clean. It has a nice laid back vibe. I would go back.

I was here for my wife's birthday. They really spoiled us. The food was delicious, the service was very sweet and we left feeling a lot fatter.

Chose a completely vegan rice table and I loved everything. Husband who is mainly into Dutch food chose a fish dish and that was also fine. We thought it was a successful dinner

Enjoyed delicious food and drinks

Moderate. The Satay Kambing and the Satay Sapi were unfortunately dry. We missed the fine original Indian flavors. Furthermore, nice staff. Dear all..

Great food (Indonesian rice table), nice atmosphere. The restaurant is located on an inconspicuous street, away from the tourist center, but is easily and quickly reachable on foot.

Smakeloos en van zeer matige kwaliteit. Aankleding doet vermoeden dat je in een goed restaurant zit maar het eten is vergelijkbaar met een gemiddelde chinees. De gerechten zijn echter pittig geprijsd! Niet alles was voorradig en toen er besteld was kregen we niet wat we hadden gevraagd.

Hermoso pequeño restaurante de propiedad familiar, y por supuesto la comida era increíble los propietarios son tan amables que también es muy tranquilo sentarse allí que sin duda vamos a volver!

Mismanagement in extremis. Waited an hour to get drinks. Then another 40 minutes for food. Got wrong order. Shrimp overcooked. Five tables around us covered in dirty dishes. All diners were unhappy and complaining. The place was only one third full, but man, could they not handle it! What a bummer, such a great menu, such poor performance.

Really enjoyed their colorful rijsttafel, which came with lots of delicious choices. The service was friendly, and the food was served quite quickly as we ordered ahead when making the reservation for tonight (which was easy to do using the phone number on their website). The interior of the restaurant was clean and spacious.

Made a reservation on Thursday evening for Saturday evening, when you get there they don't have a reservation, really very bad, they advise you to pay much more attention, if you are there with good taste you can look for something else. Thank you for nothing.

Waanzinnig lekker gegeten en een echte aanrader! Heerlijke gerechten, voor een eerlijke prijs. Bediening was vriendelijk en vrolijk.

Deathly cold, no action from staff after complaints about this from several tables. Poor service. Several times I had to fetch the staff from the kitchen to be served.

Very cold, I ended up wearing my scarf, the staff did not look at the heating, we had to get the staff at the bar every time we wanted something else, they were not interested in us, the food was reasonable, I expected more. There were 6 of us and we were all frozen, very annoying, all the radiators were cold, I felt that when we went outside Toilets may also need some maintenance and cleaning, very difficult stairs to go down It is a very nicely decorated place, but it is allowed WITH HEATING

Great selection of Indonesian dishes. Service is fast and flavors are delicious.

Reserved for two people for Christmas. Checked the website in advance to see if there were any special features; this was not the case. Arrived around 7:15 PM. It wasn't very busy inside and there were about 6 tables occupied. Upon arrival we were given the menu and after studying this menu we decided that one person would take a menu and I would take individual dishes. Since I am a vegetarian. When ordering we were told that it was not possible to order things from the menu due to Christmas? You were only allowed to purchase a rice table. I said I found this strange because it was not on the website. The waiter also did not indicate this when giving the cards. The waiter went to discuss it. The people at the table next to us indicated the same thing and said they were told the same thing. They had also specifically looked at the website and were not allowed to order their favorite dishes. The waiter came back and said that we could order individual dishes, because we reserved online? After placing our orders, my table companion was given the soup with the message that my starter would take a few minutes longer. After waiting about fifteen minutes I still had nothing. I indicated to the waiter that we thought it was a bit strange that I had to wait so long and that we had to eat our starter separately. The waiter indicated that my table companion should eat the soup slowly and that we would eventually finish at the same time. After 20-30 minutes my starter finally arrived; My table companion's soup was of course already gone. The waiter's colleague asked if this was my starter and I said 'if it's vegetarian, then it's mine'. The waiter said it is one hundred percent vegetarian and gave it to me. I took a bite of the martebak and it had minced meat in it! I was completely fed up with it and decided not to continue the evening in this restaurant. I told the waiter's other colleague that we were leaving and he said 'ok, ok'. After waiting a while, the waiter came back and said that he wanted to pay for everything we had eaten and drunk (1 drink per person, soup and a bite of martabak). I said I would do this reluctantly and actually didn't agree with it. I also had to wash down that minced meat and had to use that drink. The waiter asked if he should call his boss. I said go ahead. Then I received an apology from the boss from the waiter. I never really complain, but this was several drops. Even the people in the restaurant agreed with us and thought it was ridiculous. The restaurant lacked any inspiration and hospitality. It was impersonal and seemed to be run this evening by people who didn't really know what they were doing. The boss was not present. I wonder if the evening would have turned out differently.

The owner barks at you when you call to order for delivery. She flat out says I don't have time, every time! 😡 Then hire staff or don't advertise with delivery!

Enjoy the diversity of Indonesian cuisine. Highly recommended!!!!

We had a delicious meal here. The dishes were authentic in preparation and taste. Very friendly service and rustic atmosphere. We will definitely come back here.

We had to wait 1.5 hours before anything was on the table. The tablecloth was also covered in stains. The boy serving was not attentive. Food was okay but no more than that.

The food itself was good to great, we had two of the menus. The spiciness of the food, for example, was pleasant. We had a large, often surprising variety on our plates. And a very special dessert that you will certainly have to look for for a long time. What spoiled the fun of this experience was the long waiting times: we were there from 6:30 p.m. until after 10 p.m. The advance soup (!) came after more than an hour. The main course took even longer. Our reference to this was dismissed by the otherwise very friendly waiter with a succinct "Yes, sorry." There was no explanation - if there had been problems in the kitchen, we would have understood - or there was no real apology. So it's difficult to write a consistently positive review, even if the food certainly deserves it. Highlights were the bombastic beef cooked in soy sauce, the mild chicken curry, the poached egg with sambal, the spicy jackfruit and the vegetarian soup beforehand. And the dessert with palm sugar and sweet potato balls was also special. Unfortunately we wouldn't come back because of this experience.

Das Essen an sich war gut bis spitze, wir hatten zwei der Menüs. Die Schärfe der Speisen zum Beispiel war angenehm. Wir hatten eine große, oftmals überraschende Vielfalt auf dem Teller. Und einen sehr speziellen Nachtisch, wie man sicher lange suchen muss. Was uns den Spaß an diesem Erlebnis verdorben hat, waren die langen Wartezeiten: Wir waren von 18.30 Uhr bis nach 22 Uhr da. Die Vorweg-Suppe (!) kam nach mehr als einer Stunde. Der Hauptgang dauerte noch länger. Unser Hinweis darauf wurde vom ansonsten sehr freundlichen Kellner mit einem lapidaren "Ja, sorry" abgetan. Es fällt also schwer eine durchweg positive Bewertung zu schreiben, auch wenn es das Essen sicher verdient hätte. Highlights waren das bombastisch in Soyasoße gekochte Rind, das milde Hähnchen-Curry, das pochierte Ei mit Sambal, die vegetarische Suppe vorab und die scharfe Jackfruit. Und auch der Nachtisch mit Palmzucker und Süßkartoffelbällchen war besonders. Wiederkommen würden wir aufgrund dieser Erfahrung wohl leider nicht.

Here you will find the best rice tables in the area. The food is fantastic and full of flavour. Moreover, there is plenty of choice. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere. Definitely worth repeating!

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. I have to say that the food was delicious, all very good. The staff were kind and welcoming. Small place, I recommend booking. I will definitely go back. Super recommended.

On our way to Hilversum, we made a stopover in Maastricht and had dinner at Kapulaga. What a direct hit! Iens' honorable mentions at the entrance are completely justified. The atmosphere and service are stylish and relaxed, the food is very good. The portions are very tasty (in my case super tender slightly spicy chicken with nasi g), beautifully presented and generous. In my opinion, this is highly recommended and worth making the detour for. Please keep it up! Regarding music, I agree with a previous review.

Great authentic Indonesian food. Very much enjoyed the delicious dishes. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Once again a delicious meal. Friendly service. In short, recommended

Great service and even better food. The custom rijsttafel was great, the waiter was extremely flexible and easygoing with all of our dietary restrictions. Looked like a local family, mom in the kitchen and son and daughter in the front of the house. Will definitely return.

We ate and enjoyed the two of us! Rice table kakanda. Lots of different dishes on the table and with many different flavors. Not too spicy, so your taste remains good to taste the delicious differences. Also had two delicious desserts. Service and friendliness also top!

Super friendly and attentive service, a nicely decorated, attractive restaurant and delicious Indonesian food.

Food was good, some things a bit on the bland side. Service was ok. Unfortunately the atmosphere was cold and chilly. Not what we are used to from Indonesian restaurants.

Fantastic food and authentic experience. Sweet service. If we are in the area we will definitely come back.

Wij hebben inmiddels in de loop der jaren heel wat indonesische restaurants bezocht in uiteenlopende steden . Kapulaga steekt hier met kop en schouders boven.

Beautiful 1950s chic interior with Indonesian decorations, great food (refined cuisine, very tasty where the sambal is not overpowering), extremely friendly service.

Excellent place to eat real Indonesian food.

Very good food and the atmosphere is relaxed Scores good on all points. Fast and pleasant service.

The food was served cold. Taste was fine but not Indonesian. Braising was tough. Price too high for what you get.

The food is not served hot and is (by Indonesian standards) bland and lacks some spice. In my opinion, the price-quality ratio is therefore not good, although the amount of food is certainly not little. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is neat.

The real Indonesian cuisine. As a half Indo, you always look for the flavors from your youth. The choice fell on rice table kakanda 2 people. Then you have a little bit of everything and this was delicious. Furthermore, friendly service and an open kitchen so that you can see that real cooking is taking place. The sambal with the prawn crackers was delicious.

Nice restaurant and excellent service.

Always a great place to eat. The staff are fantastic and the food is amazing

In one word: Fantastic! Such a delicious meal, great service.

The rice tables are an absolute must for people who are very hungry. Delicious authentic Indonesian dishes with a choice of satay, fish, vegetarian or mixed. We opted for the mixed variant, which consisted of 12 dishes and had a true all-you-can-eat experience. Bintang beer combines excellently with the spicy dishes. Very friendly service and a good price/performance ratio.

We were very satisfied with the prepared food. Everything was delicious and beautifully served. The friendly waiter explained all the dishes to us. We enjoyed.

Very good restaurant, first time we ate Indonesian and we were not disappointed, the staff was very attentive and friendly, we will come back

We had a rice table for 2, it was on warming plates but it cooled down quickly. But that was certainly due to the temperature in the shop, 15°c was on the thermostat. The waitress was a young girl who clearly didn't have much experience with it. Too bad, not worth repeating in the cold months.

Au vu des commentaires nous nous réjouissions d’essayer ce restaurant indonésien. Il faisait froid dans le restaurant et nous avons mangé avec nos manteaux malgré avoir demandé du chauffage qui n a jamais été augmenté. La rijstafel végétarienne était loin d’être incontournable et pour certains plats, nous ne savions pas très bien ce que nous mangions Addition assez élevée pour la qualité servie et vraiment déçues.

Delicious food, nice portions, relaxed staff and nice acoustics in the restaurant.

We’ve enjoyed a great diner. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious following real Indonesian tradition.

Unfortunately!! after 1.45 hours finally the cold food at the door and? So it really wasn't Indonesian food!! Worthless, the noodles were bland, the nasi looked like couscous and the peanut sauce was watery! Actually, the owner should give my hard-earned 33 euros back! In short, after a few bites of everything, everything was dumped in the bin. Maybe take another food preparation course at Ibu wanita itu?? Wouldn't be wrong!! I am a real gastronome and expect quality for my money. So you won't see me at this kitchen anymore.....thank you for that. A very dissatisfied client: Johan Warnas

Par rapport à d'autres villes hollandaises, Maastricht compte peu de restaurants indonésiens. Celui-ci est un peu à l'écart dans une rue tranquille. La cuisine servie est copieuse, pas trop chère et pas trop épicée. Le service est correct.

Very friendly service and great food. We ordered the Vegan Rijsttafel which had plenty of options for us to enjoy.

We had a really delicious meal here! Good service and tasty food. There was one of us who was vegan and one who just ate meat and we both had a great time
