An Indonesian restaurant serving halal meals.
Same concept as the Indonesian restaurants we have in Saudi Arabia… many dishes and you choose the items.
I'd give it 3.9 stars. I've been coming here almost weekly since it opened, so I thought it was time for a comprehensive review. Initially, it was extremely good. A very friendly, hardworking Indonesian family ran the place, and the food was of excellent quality. I think 10 euros for a meal with quality meat is a good price, considering you'd easily pay more than 5 euros for a container of meat in the supermarket, and even then, it's full of water and you have to prepare it yourself. I find other reviews here about it not being truly Indonesian a bit weak. I'm no expert, but I think; you don't get "real Chinese" at a Chinese restaurant either. What matters most to me is that the food is tasty and high-quality, and that's what it is. I also think the food could be a bit spicier, but most Dutch people can't handle that, so I completely understand why they do it that way. Perhaps it's an idea to choose one dish and make it really spicy?
Now for my drawbacks, which are why I'm not giving it 5 stars.
Unfortunately, the quality has declined over the past year. It feels a bit like once the good reviews came in, everything was replaced with a cheaper alternative. That's understandable, but a shame. The container the food came in has been replaced by a more awkward and cheaper one, the hardworking, friendly family has been replaced by cheap students, and the food itself is also of lower quality. For example: the rendang used to be tender and cut into small pieces. Now, it's large, hard chunks. Leaves that are added during cooking for flavor but aren't pleasant to eat used to be expertly fished out. These days, they're simply left in.
All in all, it's still a very good meal for a reasonable price, but I do hope the good quality is maintained and doesn't deteriorate much further.
Scammers. they cancelled my order without letting me know, didn’t return my money, and the woman on the phone claiming to be the owner blocked my number:)
I popped in for some ice cream last night. The lady behind the counter was very helpful, very friendly and professional, and the ice cream is delicious too! I highly recommend coming back.
