What Katie R likes about Java:
Amazing Rijsttafel! Went with a group of people and there was more than enough food to go around. Very clean and lively atmosphere. Excellent service, kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely go back on my next trip! View all feedback. What Liyana Rahman doesn't like about Java:
this restaurant has the worst service of any place i have ever been to. after 1.5 hours, our entrees were not even ready, and they were being very secretive about when our food was going to be ready.on top of that, it took 50 min for our calamari entree to come out. genuinely the worst service i have ever encountered.

First time having Indonesian food and I loved it. The tapas were great. It was nice to be able to have a taste of the menu.Food: 4/5

Java Indonesian restaurant in Brooklyn offers a taste of authentic Indonesian cuisine with delicious dishes like beef rendang, chicken satay, and ayam goreng. The small family-run establishment may have limited seating, but the warm welcome from the owner makes diners feel like family. While some reviewers found the food to be standard, others praised the flavorful Rijsttafel and friendly service. The restaurant is known for its traditional flavors and well-prepared dishes, making it a top choice for those seeking a true taste of Indonesia in Brooklyn.

I tried to order Java delivery through the Yelp app twice over the past couple weeks.

Java's food is a 3.5, but if you order from here, beware.
