We were absolutely stuffed at the end wish we had room for dessert! Cozy and nicely decorated space as well. The only thing was it was hard to flag down someone for water and for spicy food it was a must but overall would definitely come back!

However, the incredibly friendly staff found us a table for 2 1/2 hours. We thoroughly enjoyed the many different delicacies of the Kuning rice table. We will surely plan a return visit

Although I experienced great service, I found this restaurant to have my least favorite rijsttafel during my visit. Definitely not an authentic experience for me. When the food arrived, the dishes were explained in the lowest voice possible. My guess, she was not comfortable speaking English. I ordered the kuning rijsttafel, 28.50 pp, and was disappointed by the lack of flavor and spice. A lot of the meat was tough and fatty as well. We added the tjendol, which was just ok. Great atmosphere, cute menu, good service. Too bad the food wasn't great. Yelp challenge #28
