restaurant indonesia

awesome experience, chosen due to wanting to try something different and drawn in by the unique archway to the restaurant. ordered the "supreme rijsttafel" as we couldn't decide on meat or seafood and really enjoyed the experience. friendly and efficient service from all staff and will def. return next time we are in napier. also loved the humor of the restaurant.

just had the most gorgeous vegetarian food at this lovely restaurant. i've not been here before....but i will be back! all too often vegetarian dishes are simply vegetables in 'something' (usually pasta!)....so i was blown away by the variety of little dishes that were presented....superb! great food, great hosts :)

fantastic meal and experience. authentic food in lovely surrounding making it a great atmosphere for dining.

from the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome and the food is to die for!

outstanding food, great value, wonderful service.

we will be back!

what a unique experience it is here! we had a great meal, with a nice choice of wine to match the food - thanks kees for the recommendation! of course we had to try the rijsttafels (had the meat version) and it was definitely worth the visit!! so lovely to be able to try a range of flavours and mix of vegetables and meat - it was all so tasty! will definitely be back, only have good things to say :)

we chose the rijsttafel - a selection of dishes. what a treat; a delicious combination of flavours served with a recommended wine and a hawkes bay pilsner. great service and friendly staff. all this and a view of the ocean. an easy recommend!

we visited for dinner with our two kids and enjoyed the riisjtaffel which was a good way to sample many things. there was a good combination of items and some unusual things that we have never tried before. the portion sizes were just right and we all enjoyed the meal (both kids ate fantastically).
the service was friendly and entertaining. we'd go back for sure but next time try some of the other menu items like nasi goring - that looked good.

as a dutchman living in the us i got the surprise of my life when i sat down and enjoyed the very best rijsttafel i have had since i left the netherlands 20 years ago, and better than many that are served in that country today. in addition to the great food joss, kees and their staff are most hospitable. it may take a while, but i'll be back!

we dined here over the weekend. i was initially not going to write a review but feel like i have to. we had a supreme riisjtaffel and thought the meat dishes were very nice. however, when it came to the seafood, we were very unimpressed. even though the flavours were not to our liking the mussels and shrimps were extremely tough. we won't be back.

once again my wife and i travelled from auckland to napier to enjoy the food and service at this establishment..........this time we brought my brother-in-law and his wife. once we had eaten the riisjtaffel they understood why we have driven to napier 4 times in the last 2 years just for this "taste sensation" and great value. you are guaranteed full bellies here! each dish is different and thoroughly enjoyable. great hosts, great food, great prices and always well worth the trip.

we took the whole family to napier for the weekend and decided on something a little different. this restaurant is great. the ristaffel is what we chose and we were not disappointed. the kids loved the food and it was great value. we will visit here again for sure. can't say enough good things about the service.

on a may weekend away to napier we dined here on the recommendation of a colleague. it reminded us of rijstafels we've enjoyed in amsterdam. given the opportunity of additional trips to napier, i have been back twice in june. the people make you feel so welcome and the ambiance is that perfect blend of the exotic and the familiar. i heartily recommend indonesia - and you can take some ingredients home to create your own rijstafel.

we visited the restaurant indonesia on a busy easter weekend, my husband and i had our 1 1/2 year old and our 4 month old baby's with us, what a fantastic place, upon entering we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated in a nice private area, we opted for the supreme rijsttafel a mixture of fish and beef dishes, all i can say is wow! i was brought up in a restaurant and find it hard to find somewhere great to eat with beautiful flavours, this meal was the best i've had for a very long time, the host was fantastic making sure every need was met with a smile and friendly banter, i can't wait to visit napier again just to go there, thank you to the hosts so much for a lovely evening.

oh the food, the atmosphere, the waiting staff are all to dine for.
we have had family, friends and just a intimate dinner for two.
fabulous experience every time.you just can not walk past the excellent food atmosphere and service,definitely will keep going back, no other compares.
thank you kes and joss.

i was in napier for the mission concert in the weekend, not really sure of where to go for dinner i did a google search and randomly found this restaurant. i thought wow there are some good reviews here, and phoned and got a booking. my partner and i enjoyed a quick stroll down from the quality inn, we were welcomed by kees and offered menus and and drinks and kees suggested we try the rijsttafel supreme at $36 a head, as both steve and i are not good at making decisions we thought this sounded like a good option - wow what a great decision, we have both been to many restaurants before but this food was amazing - little bowls of everything. i had a bottle of wine with dinner which was very reasonably priced at $22, steve's beers also were very reasonable at $6 each. the service was great, there was another table of 4 diners next to us also first timers who also really enjoyed their food as well, they also entertained us through the evening! all i can say is fabulous experience, shame you are not in auckland and next time we are in napier will definitely be back - thank you from sandy and steve

really enjoyed the unique and delicious food. lots of different flavours and levels of spice. friendly service and ambient surroundings. good selection of beers and wine at very reasonable prices. cant wait to go back next time we are in napier. highly recommend the rice table for two with its ample selection of different dishes both meat and vegetarian..
