    As many others, went here because it's highly recommended. A friend visiting wanted "authentic" Indonesian food (which this is not) so she picked this place. Immediately after walking in and waiting 4-5 minutes to be seated with reservations, I grew concerned. It was full and they put us in the back room with the coats. Servers were running around, it was busy, but not that busy, and it seemed like a lot of panic or pandemonium. It took us a while to get our order for wine, but that was only thanks to the manager looking back there to see us being ignored and asked us if we wanted any drinks. About 15-20 minutes later the wine was served, warm. The wine was warm, we tolerated the first bottle, but when ordered a different white. When they brought it out to us warm, they said "this is the best they can do". They didn't offer to have us taste it first, just poured it and said "enjoy". They obviously don't refrigerate their wine, not sure why, they have a huge wine chiller there - turned off. We sent the second wine bottle back (un-opened) and ordered beer. The food service was VERY SLOW. We arrived at 7:30 but left at 11:00 pm. The main courses taste like ok fast food, from a buffet type batch poured onto little bowls, but even that takes 90 minutes to be served. We made the mistake of ordering additional starters in addition to the small rice table. This set our main course back at least an hour. Tables arrived and departed by the time we got our main food for four....by then I wasn't really hungry. Rice was good, but the rest was mushy meat, very similar to each other and a tiny little bowl of cold vegetables. After several hours, we were finally ready to go, not offering any compensation or apologies for warm wine, long delays or forgetting our introductory prawn crackers, they stand above you with the pinnen to pay your bill expecting a large tip. If you see my other reviews, I am always very generous with the ratings, I understand how difficult it is to run a restaurant with limited staff and so many tourists, but with that in mind, if you don't have the personal to keep up with your tables, then limit the number of tables available.

    Had a fantastic experience here. We opted for the Gang Rijsttafel with a bottle of wine (which was great btw), and it was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and the portion size was satisfying. While it's a bit pricey, trying Indonesian cuisine for the first time, made it all worth it. The only improvement could be clearer explanations of the food options by the staff, which could have helped us understand the different menu items. We had a lovely time and I would say its definitely worth a visit. :)

    Delicious Indonesian with great menu options and flavours. The Pandan crepe dessert wasn't bad but not great. The dough was a bit hard (but maybe normal) and it was a bit small.

    The food was good, though not great. They got our drinks wrong (though they were good), and the rijsttafel we ordered (both vegetarian and regular - 4 people) was rather skimpy for the price. Would return with friends, if they REALLY wanted to, but otherwise probably not.

    So far the best Indonesian food in Amsterdam. The soup was so tasty and everything was just perfection. Very difficult to find good Asian food in Europe so this was amazing.

    Booked a table and came here for the first time. Place was packed to the last table. Waited on bar about 10 minutes. Helpful staff recommended us a menu which was out of this world. So delicious. Next time in Amsterdam we gonna book a table here again.

    It was our first time to dine in this restaurant and we were very surprised and impressed! If I could I would give 6 STARS !!! We had I think Gang Rijsttafel The service is fantastic and very friendly! The Food presentation is really nice and very inviting to eat. Food was extremely delicious and taste with every bite is a pleasure. I had the BEST KIP SATE ever ! I don’t think I had anything close to that . I will definitely go back !

    I was eating alone and the restaurant provided a quite good meal for 1 person. The nasi campur was served on one plate with rice, chicken, beef, vegetables. You should take care of the order of eating, non-spicy first and spicy the , otherwise, your tongue will be numb to taste the chicken and vegetables in the coconut sauce. I liked the chicken in the soup and grilled chicken, they were tender and juicy. The beef stewed in spicy coconut sauce was good if you like spicy food, mixed with the rice, it was great.

    This has got to be one of the best meals I have ever had! Such tasty, spicy goodness that reached deep into my soul! The 3 course rice table was definitely worth the wait. You are definitely missing out if you pass this place by! Will be a fan of Indonesian food from now on!

    Honestly, the waiting was ridiculously long. The staff were really nice but not very great at their job. There was 1 dish that was really good the (lamb satay) and another dish (fish) that was decent but other than that, everything else was absolutely disgusting. I paid 100€ And me and my wife felt really disgusted by the food. I am a frequent traveler to Indonesia and love their cuisine but this does not even come close to real authentic Indonesian food. I do not recommend anyone to try this restaurant. It is way too expensive and it doesn’t even taste good. Atmosphere is nice though.

    For a first timer eating Indonesian food, I had no expectations but after the meal my husband and I were disappointed. We ordered the 3 course meal at 36 euros p.p. The appetizer (chicken soup) was amazing. It was what we needed after a long day of exploring Amsterdam. The lemon was no overpowering but complimented the chicken flavour. The herbs and fried onion brings out another complexity. The main course which consisted of 8 side dishes and rice, only 3 were outstanding. The chicken satay was by far the best so I would recommend that . However the rice was to soft and no flavour. Their chicken dishes were good. The lamb was too gamy and the beef was too dry, they also had no spices to mask the flavour. The drinks (ice tea and coconut milk) were decent. The dessert was amateur presented. The service was also really slow. If you want to sit at a restaurant and leave asap for your next destination, you might want to think twice. It took 30 minutes to get the bill.

    Came here around 6 PM for appetizers. Goat satay is a must. Really delicious, slightly sweet dish. Chicken satay and duck were great too. The rice is also not only beautifully prepared in banana leaves but steamed to perfection.

    We were looking for a great Asian place and gave Indonesian a try. What an amazing experience- great food and ambience. The course meals were tempting but expensive. So we instead r with the main dishes. Thank you!

    This was our first ever Indonesian meal and it was extraordinary. We ordered the Rice Table sharing menu. My wife is vegetarian and was given her own, separate Rice Table so that she could enjoy a vegetarian version of every dish, with either eggplant or tofu substituted for the meat. The kids and I shared a Rice Table with five different meat dishes, a cold noodle salad and more. Loved the Indonesian beer as well. Great service. Highly recommended.

    Staff at our hotel recommend this place so thought we’d try our first experience of Indonesian food. Seated straight without a reservation and our coats taken and hung up. We shared the lamb in coconut sauce main (more than enough for two!) which was delicious, fried chicken snacks (amazing!) and rice. Food was delicious and was kept warm at the table. Unfortunately the house wine was not so good!! Overall would recommend trying this place!

    I have gone here 2 years in a row on visits to Amsterdam. The food is always delicious and the service is so nice. It’s also a great value for the quality & portions. I miss this restaurant and can’t wait to be back online Amsterdam eating here again

    We had the chef’s table for 2. Great way to sample a lot of dishes-good combo of spicy and not. Service was slow but the restaurant was packed.

  • 4/5 Marcus S. 4 months ago on Google
    Go for the rice table and go with a group. You will not be disappointed, really well done, nice setting. If you are in for real spicyness, you should be explicit, as it is a very cautious seasoning. Nice place also, a little bit - really a little bit - pricey though. The service deserves some extra shout out, well explained, recommended, and some interesting extra info about Indonesia on top.

    We had the 3 course rijstaffel here. The food was very tasty and the dishes were varied and interesting. Somewhat let down by the slow service though. The restaurant seemed to have a very rigid division of labour with one waiter responsible for any given table and nothing could happen if that waiter was busy. It took a long time to take an order, and a long time between the starter, mains and dessert, and then a long time to receive the bill, making it a three hour long dinner.

  • 4/5 N R. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was so good, we were very happy to experience very new tastes. The food was so well-cooked and it was served with very diverse tastes. The portion was also big enough. The staff were kind and welcoming. It was my first time with Indonesian food and I recommend this restaurant for sure. The only point I would say it can be better is the explanation about the food options provided by the staff. This helps a people like us choosing easier. It was my first experience with Indonesian food and I didn’t have any idea about some options in menu.

  • 4/5 chriskennedy100 K. 8 months ago on Google
    Good food and cocktails. We did the rice table deal. I would not recommend it. We waited 20-30 mins between courses, and 50 euro each was WAY too expensive for what we received. Food quality in general was good, but a 20-euro dish should suffice.

  • 5/5 Courtney H. 1 year ago on Google
    We knew we wanted to try Indonesian when we were visiting Amsterdam. The rijsttafel was delicious and so much food! Atmosphere and service was great. We had an early reservation which I think was helpful as it seemed to get pretty busy.

  • 4/5 Peter G. 8 months ago on Google
    Very delicious Indonesian food. Definitely more old school. Service is very nice and friendly. Pretty expensive for the amount of food you get.

  • 5/5 R & S. 1 year ago on Google
    Hip hop happening Indonesian cuisine. The place was packed in the middle of the week. Make a reservation although they made us welcome even though our party of 2 did not have one. Great service and good food.

  • 5/5 doriss alaine t. 9 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    We had the chef’s rice table. We were able to taste almost everything on the menu in small portions. It was the perfect amount to leave the restaurant full and satisfied. The food was great! Everything was tasty and cooked really well. The servers were all kind and friendly. And I have to say the most sincere and excellent service that I’ve had in a while. Our overall experience was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend to everyone who wants to try Indonesian cuisine.

  • 4/5 Kiki C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice experience but a bit on the pricey side for the portion. It’s a touristy restaurant if you wanna try more authentic local Indo cuisine there are Other smaller places but still very nice. More upscale place

  • 4/5 Rodolfo R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. Food with a very typical flavor and tasty. Relation price/quantity a little expensive, because quality it has.

  • 5/5 Konstantin K. 1 year ago on Google
    We wanted to taste everything, so, we have decided to go with option from Chef. Dishes came in small sizes, but there was enough. The food was delishes. I recommend to visit this place if you like Indonesian kitchen.

  • 5/5 Nir Y. 6 years ago on Google
    Wonderful find. We wind or eight people for dinner. The place looks very nice clean and the staff extremely hospitable. we decided to let them pick the dishes for us. As appetizers they brought out platters with different satay (skewers), We had shrimp,beef and goat satay and a minced fish and chicken patty wrapped on the lemongrass skewer. They were so good we ordered extra, especially the goat and the minced fish and chicken patty. Four main course they brought out ricetables, that included several meat and seafood dishes served centrally while each individual receives steamed rice wrapped in a banana leaf. These combinations were very flavorful and tasty. The dessert were reasonable but not worthy to end which a fantastic meal. The meal was accompanied with cocktails, beer, and wine that we all enjoyed. Highly recommended.
