Feedback
Makan offers a set menu full of Indonesian dishes, with some highlights like the kingfish and soft shell crab bao. While the food was good, some reviewers felt the variety was lacking, with too many fried dishes. Service was praised as fantastic, but some guests felt rushed to finish their meal. However, overall reviews were positive, with compliments on the flavorful food, ample portions, and friendly service. Suggestions for improvement included more vegetable options and slower pacing of the meal. Despite some minor issues, Makan remains a hidden gem and a recommended spot for authentic Indonesian cuisine.
Lots of dishes to choose from and can’t wait to come back to try more. We had pork belly satay skewers which were delish as we’re all the dishes. Very tasty food and generous servings.
Fantastic service with friendly and welcoming staff. The restaurant had a great vibe and fun for a night out. The food was all absolutely delicious, the highlights were the mee goreng (thin egg noodle style) and the beef rendang! Generous portions and full of flavour!
Makan offered a delicious dinner I can’t comment on whether or not it was authentic though. The chicken satay skewers were yummy and I absolutely loved the crispy duck. The chicken ribs were very tasty too but the sauce was a little too wet.The service was friendly and attentive, and was happy to help us in using up some prepaid cards. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable, and the plates were really aesthetic.
Tried makan last night and was seriously impressed. We had the sate maranggi beef skewers, rendang sapi, ayam goreng kecap, jagung bakar, and a bowl of nasi putih. The sate maranggi was tender and packed with flavour. You could taste the shallot-soy marinade coming through properly balanced and rich without being overpowering. The rendang sapi was slow-cooked wagyu beef in a dark chilli curry. It was soft, fell apart with a spoon, and had that deep, slow-braised flavour you want in a proper rendang. The ayam goreng kecap—fried chicken ribs with chilli soy glaze and lime mayo, was the standout. Crunchy, sticky, and full of flavour. I’d go back just for these. Jagung bakar, the grilled corn ribs, were simple but perfect. Nicely charred, seasoned well, and paired with a garlic dip that actually added to the dish. Nasi putih (steamed jasmine rice) tied everything together. Nothing fancy, just cooked right. Service was excellent and friendly, fast, and on point. The vibe in the venue was warm and comfortable, with just the right energy for a casual night out or a proper meal with friends. Makan is doing things right. Good food, done with care, and flavours that actually deliver.
