Signature Dishes

  • Beef Rendang

    The beef is stewed until tender and well-seasoned; the rich, slightly sweet sauce has a touch of heat and fragrant spices, and it pairs especially well with turmeric rice.

  • Javanese Honeycomb Fried Chicken

    The outside is crisp and the meat pulls away from the bone; it can also be dry or firm, and the Indonesian flavor may not come through strongly.

  • Chicken Skewers

    The chicken is tender and well-seasoned, and the satay sauce enhances its flavor; one serving has five skewers.

  • Spiced Flatbread

    Fragrant even on its own, with a crisp texture and a layered bite reminiscent of flaky pastry.

  • Turmeric Rice

    The spice aroma is not pungent, with a delicate rice fragrance and just-right doneness; it pairs well with Beef Rendang.
