Greg OhmAugust 15, 2020Amazing service from our server Michael along with delicious & authentic Indonesian dishes. We had vegetarian rijsttafel which was super tasty & very filling - especially the tofu satay and jackfruit.

WFebruary 13, 2016The Ramayana rijsttafel is delicious! Be at least 2 persons so that you have a much better way to sample Indonesian food. Else go for a rames or nasi campur.Upvote1Downvote
