restaurant indonesia

had a very pleasant evening hosted by kees. we opted for the rijsttafel (meat) $29.95 per head. gave opportunity to try everything on menu.servicewas exceptional, as was the meal.

really happy to find rijsttafel here in nz. rijsttafel is a dutch version of indonesian ‘nasi padang’ where you get a lot of small plates of food. they have option for meat, fish, mix, and vegetarian.servicewas really friendly. taste yum !

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 asservicewas 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 a great appetite 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.

first time here and my first impression of this place is gorgeous! starting from the main entrance of the interior through the diner are just phenomenal with the indonesian javanish touch. and the restaurant are situated by the seaside so added more to the bali feel. we ordered the meat rijjstafel recommend by the lovely owner which consist of 12 different type of meat and we love every single bite of it! this is place is just amazing from their food to the atmosphere andserviceit just hard to fault.

lovely family dining experience with good food, lovely friendlyserviceand a slightly different experience to the usual.   the fish curry and satay (which is on several dishes in the rijstafel option) were standouts for us.

restaurant indonesia is situated in a converted house along picturesque marine parade. the interior is decorated with numerous indonesian and dutch artifacts. we booked ahead and watched the restaurant fill up around us during our meal. the rijsttafel options looked appealing but we weren't hungry enough to sample the many small dishes on each menu so opted for main courses instead. our meal began with a complimentary selection of condiments (sweet sauce along with medium, hot and very hot) served with onion crisps. the sauces are available for sale at the front counter. i had rendang padang (slow cooked beef) served with sides of rice, beans (to replace the capsicum dish) and toasted coconut, peanuts and spices. the flavours went together really well. my partner ordered sweet and sour fish fillets that also came with similar side dishes. we were both pleasantly full after our meal with no room for dessert. ourservicewas very fast and efficient; we were moved along quickly. also, be aware that the restaurant is not byo.

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

feral food, not doing the world a flavour...

went to this restaurant in the weekend, our table had the meat, seafood and vegetarian multiple selection plates. most of these looked like and tasted like stodgy heat n eat mini-meals straight out of the microwave.

no fresh, light and tasty spice dishes here. even the rice was dry and limp.

yepservicewas pretty friendly but can't understand why this place appears to be so highly rated?!

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 efficientservicefrom all staff and will def. return next time we are in napier. also loved the humor of the restaurant.

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. greatserviceand 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).
theservicewas 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.

once again my wife and i travelled from auckland to napier to enjoy the food andserviceat 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.

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. theservicewas 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. friendlyserviceand 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..

i've been coming here when visiting napier for many years. the latest owners have carried on the great food and service. throughly recommend the supreme rijsttafel, such a journey through many taste sensations. theserviceis great and friendly. the wine list has many local wines and at very reasonable prices. but ultimately it's the food that draws us back, even the kids got into it! make sure you book to guarantee a table.
