    I was super excited to eat from this place as I was craving Indonesian food. My family is Indonesian, grew up with Indonesian food and have traveled to Indonesia as well, so I'm rather confident that I know what I'm talking about. I can't say much about the location or the service as we got food delivery. We ordered nasi ayam, gado gado and extra sate sauce. When the food arrived, it smelled good. The nasi ayam consisted mostly rice and not so many veggies or chicken. I must say that the portions were huge, but sadly lacked flavor. It did taste mostly like underspiced rice (Indonesian food uses quite some spices and this was very bland) and it consisted mostly of onion and carrot, so I felt a bit ripped off to pay ~12 euros for rice, raw onions, carrots and tiny bits of chicken and egg. In addition, the onion was barely cooked as it was still crunchy from rawness. Gado gado should be steamed veggies with sate sauce. This gado gado was overloaded with noodles (?) and not even that many veggies, which is weird for a vegetarian dish. The one that was most disappointing was the sate sauce. We paid 5 EUR extra for a small container that is not worthy of the name Sate sauce. Sate sauce should be rich and spiced in flavor, thickness can vary, but mostly towards a thicker consistency. It is not hard to make but this literature looked like simply crushed peanuts in oil. Overall, a massively disappointing food experience. It seems like they mostly sell overpriced carbs and peanuts.

    Very friendly staff. Clean. Good filling food. Good chicken. Basic takeaway food that you can eat in. Portions are generous, but you can take leftovers home. E22 for 2x main + 1.5ltrs sparkling water.

    Restaurant a little warm, and places limited but that's all good. Food is decent but I was surprised that the Randang was wetter than expected. Was surprised that rice was not included and had to order on our own. Satay was also not what I expected, as it seems like it is boiled chicken with peanut sauce. I might be wrong but from Malaysia at least, Satay is not suppose to be boiled chicken. Overall decent place, do go if you would like to try Indonesian food. Also, bring cash!

    Portions doesn’t include rice and sauce is sized for 2 mostly. If you ask more rice for same price it will be another 2.5€ anyways so the total is 2x€. Tasted good. Priced as two lunches.

    CASH ONLY PLACE 😳 The food was good. (Not as good for me to actually return for it again though.) The portions are HUGE. Their noodles with chicken was too big even for 2 of us 🤤 When I asked to wrap the rest of the food to go, I was asked to pay 50 cents extra for the plastic box and the bag 😳 The interior is non-existent, everything is just square and plain, you wouldn’t even remember what it was like when you leave.

    Pretty decent nasi goreng but the sambal is necessary.

    The "rendang" that we ordered was nothing like an actual rendang, as you can see in the attached picture. But it was still pretty tasty. The lumpia and sate were bland.

    This place does NOT serve Indonesian food, a cuisine that I am very familiar with having traveled extensively in that beautiful country. What it serves is cheap, lazy dishes prepared with poor quality ingredients and loaded with rice and noodles. The Gado Gado was a travesty of this dish, composing of 95% noodles covered in some dark brown ‘sauce’ which they also used on the Nasi Goreng. I strongly suggest you avoid this tourist trap. Response to owner: You force me to respond. Yes Gado Gado is a vegetarian salad which consists of a mixture of cooked vegetables, raw vegetables, boiled eggs and tofu. Yours was 95% noodles, which is not a vegetable. Also, your peanut sauce is not prepared correctly, you have crushed some peanuts and mixed them uncooked with your dark brown sauce. An Indonesian peanut sauce is cooked with peanuts, tamarind, sugar and shrimp paste and is thick and light brown in colour. There is literally nothing in your dishes which is Indonesian, you prefer to take shortcuts knowing that most visitors will not know the difference. It is lazy and disrespectful to the culture of your beautiful country.

    Been here a number of times over the years and it seems to have gone downhill. Yes was always large potions, one plate is enough for 2 people, or more. However, the food is lacking in taste and flavourings. Watery curry and raw vegetables won't have me coming back again.

    Very good place to eat a real Indonesian food! It's tiny so make sure to come in smaller group or make a deal with the owner (who unfortunately doesn't speak English at all)

    No card payment. Huge portions. One meal is enough for up to 4 people. Taste is a bit mediocre though.

    Dont let the appearance put you off. The food is Indonesian and great. Reasonably priced too. Be warned the portion sizes are huge, you might want to share things.

  • 3/5 Iulian T. 2 years ago on Google
    It was fine, lots of rice, too much sauce and only 3 shrimps in a 16 eur shrimp dish. Large portions, but not necessarily good quality.

  • 5/5 Ivan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Heard this little restaurant from one of my Indonesian crew members at Mein Schiff so I decided to give it a try while my cruise ship was docked at Las Palmas. I have to say this is a great Indonesian restaurant and I was a bit surprised to found one in the Canary Islands. Portion is excellent, and the foods are cooked by an Indonesian lady from Solo, Central Java which is why the foods tasted so good. First visit I tried the Nasi Campur, the portion was large. Then on the second visit I tried the fried rice aka Nasi Goreng, not bad. Unfortunately, one of my crew members told me that the Soto Ayam wasn't really good and didn't taste exactly like what a typical Soto Ayam back at home. Of course, there were a lot of Indonesian crew members during my two visits. Place is, however, very small with only 5 or 6 tables, so expect to wait a little bit when it gets busy. Overall, I'm satisfied.

    I had the pleasure of eating Nasi Goreng here today. The food was excellent. Tasty, perfectly salted. They asked if I wanted it spicy. I said yes, and oh, they delivered! The spicy sauce that you got in a separate bowl was not only spicy, but also very tasty. The people working there are nice, friendly and fast. They speak well enough english. The place is unpretentious, just like the people who work there. I’ve had cheaper lunches, but the portion I got was so huge that the leftovers I got after lunch was more than enough for dinner.
