restaurant indonesia

great meal and superb service
i love authentic ethnic food and this was great
i will definitely visit again when i am back in napier
joss and kees aregreatand the atmosphere is fantastic

feels like a family oriented resturant. my partner and i went while on a trip to napier and had the fish curry, nasi goreng, and the sticky rice pudding dessert friendly staff, the food wasgreatand, and while not the cheapest, worth the price. it'sgreatfor a special occasion. the chef and staff came out to check on us and also they explained where the food came from.greatprawn crackers too, which were given out while we waited for the food which was nice. the only thing was that it took about 10 mins to be seated as it was a busy night. however they made up for it. it was also indonesian independence day so we all got some free souvenirs too :)

we got lucky as we planned for early dinner around 6pm.this place got so full by the time it was 7pm. so a sound advice please make a booking if you plan to visit this place. the staff was friendly and food was good in quality as well as service was fine. the only place where i felt it lost my points is at the price compared to food quantity i personally felt the portions to be small. that maybe coz i have agreatappetite for good food 😉. but yes if you are keen on trying a different cuisine along with some nice artifacts around this is the place to be.

visited in march to celebrate daniels birthday and must say we weren't disappointed. ordered the rijsttafel banquet and enjoyed working our way through all of the small tasting plates.greatoption if you can't decide what to try. also agreattouch that meals come with 4 dishes of various spicy sauces and relishes so that you can add heat or spice to your own preference.

we came into restaurant indonesia last night for dinner, the service and atmosphere were fantastic. we would recommend trying the rijsttafel, this is agreatway to try lots of indonesian dishes in one sitting ! there was also agreatselection of wines from the hawkes bay.

we had a lovely dinner "experience" at this restaurant last night.
we were welcomed by the owner to his (what almost looks like) a small museum, full of indonesian cultural artifacts. followed by a friendly staff member explaining the menu. being familiar with the concept of rijst-tafel we were very pleased with the many tasty, some hot some cold, little dishes we got. which again got explained by our pleasant waiter brenden.
although these dishes look small on their own, they add up to quite a meal, which we could just finish. we had to pass on the baked banana dessert i set my eyes on....so we will have to go back another time ;-) thank you for agreatevening!

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!greatfood,greathosts :)

fantastic meal and experience. authentic food in lovely surrounding making it agreatatmosphere for dining.

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

outstanding food,greatvalue, wonderful service.

we will be back!

what a unique experience it is here! we had agreatmeal, 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.greatservice and friendly staff. all this and a view of the ocean. an easy recommend!

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 thegreatfood joss, kees and their staff are most hospitable. it may take a while, but i'll 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" andgreatvalue. you are guaranteed full bellies here! each dish is different and thoroughly enjoyable.greathosts,greatfood,greatprices 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 wasgreatvalue. we will visit here again for sure. can't say enough good things about the service.

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 somewheregreatto 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.

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 agreatdecision, 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
