I didn't get any pics unfortunately. I don't like to give bad reviews but want to be honest. When I walked in I immediately lost my appetite. It smelled like when I was younger and had a hamster that needed its bedding changed after a week or so. I tried to keep an open mind and went ahead and ordered. The beef satay was good. The wontons were so so. My husband ordered the beef stir fry and received octopus and it was not great. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was so fishy I couldn't eat it. I drowned it in soy sauce and it was edible. Unfortunately we will not be back. read more

Barzar Eatery - Beef Rendang... AMAZING - Indonesian Near Me - Vacaville, California

Some of the best food I've ever had in my life, no hyperbole. We had the beef rendang, noodles with tripe, and pork satay. Wow, the flavors were absolutely amazing. The beef rendang was tender and tons of flavor, even just the rice. Satay came with the amazing peanut sauce. The noodles with tripe had shrimp paste in it, which gave it a seafood flavor, but not overwhelming. I'm always a little wary of shrimp paste because its sometimes too strong for me, but theirs is perfect. This might be the best noodle dish I've ever had. Every dish was a 10/10. read more

Driving up to Tahoe from the South Bay is always painful as it's fraught with traffic. I took the Friday off before the long Memorial Day weekend to avoid traffic and be more leisurely about heading to the mountains. Vacaville was the right spot to stop for lunch and good old Yelp provided us with a pointer to Barzar. I am sure glad we stopped because it's been a long time since we've had good Southeast Asian food. For starters, we had the spring rolls and they were delicious. The Hiananese Chicken was cooked perfectly. Shame on me, I shouldn't have eaten the skin but it was just too good. Oh man, it's been a while since I had a Laksa and it brought back fond memories. Actually, it could have been a bit spicier but hey, it was damn good. I would come back in a heartbeat. In fact, I would have come back on the way home but the timing didn't work out. Next time for sure! read more

Fantastic authentic Indonesia food and wonderful service. Our server greeted us and made suggestions as we ordered, some of the selections can be spicy for some folks. You can select your level of spicy with the normalized mild, medium and hot selections. Everything Bazar Eatery offered from the soup, tripe, beef rendang, to the mouth watering chicken satay (skewers) was a masterful of different flavors in every bite. We tried Spice medium and hot in our order and the heat was there in just the right amounts to enjoy. You're sure to enjoy the peanut sauce with any of the satay dishes. If you're looking for something a little different and you are familiar with different cultural foods from the pacific islands this is the place to enjoy that experience. I am looking forward to going back again and again. read more

Hopefully, the next new owners will keep this menu. Being Dutch-Indo myself, I love this place and the quick friendly service..

Always a delight eating here. I've brought or introduced a lot of people here and everyone likes them! My go-to entrees are their Hainanese chicken or shrimp nasi goreng. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with their lamb satay and pangsit goreng. I've also had both their beef and chicken rendang, and mee-goreng. Quick service and always clean! Oh and you get a complimentary shrimp chips if you order any of their entrees. One of my favorite go-to places for comfort Southeast Asian food! read more

Super cute and authentic Singaporean/Indonesian family style restaurant. It's a small shop so prepare to wait for service and food but every little details there make you feel the owners are really passionate about what they do. We walked in on a rainy President's day around 1pm, it was full but host quickly let me know I might have to wait a bit, it was a short wait and then she quickly cleaned the table and let us sit down. She came back with the complimentary shrimp crackers appetizer and again apologizing for the potential wait for the food. When we got our Laksa, Mee-Goreng beef and shrimp fried rice, everything was perfectly cooked, every bite you can feel the fresh ingredients and the love the chef put into cooking these dishes! Especially the beef mee-goreng has so much "wok hey", it's one of the best we had in a long time! Love every bit of this restaurant, including the wait! We will definitely come back every time we come to the Vacaville area! read more

Nice cozy Indonesian eatery in Vacaville, about 40 minutes drive from Sacramento. Good food and friendly folks. Sam the chef owner learned cooking from his mom growing up. Food wise we tried the following: - Laksa: 4 out of 5 good flavor overall, quite authentic and probably the best you can find in NorCal area (my fav is Borneo Eatery in Alhambra SoCal) - Hainan chicken rice: 3 out of 5 chicken is good but the rice is not the typical Hainan rice, and doesn't come with the red sambal & special slightly sweet soy sauce that are the staple of oh so good Singapore style Hainan chicken rice - Lamb satay: 3 out of 5 tender but was expecting the more traditional non marinated style with sweet soy sauce dipping on the side - Pork satay: 3 out of 5 some chunks are a bit tough and overall flavor lacking in depth - Beef rendang: 4 out of 5 very tender yummy pieces comes with yellow rice - Beef fried noodle: 2 out of 5: we like this one the least as the noodle is over cooked and lacking in flavor (we do taste the belacan shrimp paste but other than that just falls flat) Overall it's a solid place and kudos to the owners for introducing Indonesian cooking to the area especially there's not much choices in NorCal for Indonesian food even in the Bay Area SF or San Jose. read more

Dinner started off with complimentary shrimp chips, which are a thicker size than store-bought varieties. The flavor was consistent with every bite. We were offered another serving since we consumed all of it during the tasting of our appetizers and entrees. Tofu satay included a peanut sauce. Nice and airy crunch for the bite-sized servings. Beef satay was a favorite. The beef was very tender and packed a lot of flavor. If you are a true carnivore, eat this. Beef rendang was on point. The flavors were fantastic. The soft beef melted nicely with the simple rice and cucumber slices. The wifey claims she had a food orgasm with this entree. Nasi goreng - beef (beef fried rice) was fhe star of the show. The flavor profile is top notch. The egg, curry, and ground beef all danced with happiness in my mouth. Service and food arrival times were timely. There was also a table scan option to order/pay, which is efficient and technologically advanced vs. other restaurants. Mints and clementine mandarins were offered during exit. Ambiance is simple and casual. This place is a must-eat spot so we will definitely return to try other menu items. read more

We came in 30 minutes before closing but the hostess was very kind and still let us dine in. (we left before closing though!) Casual but great service. Their shrimp chips are so yummy and we dipped it in their hot sauce. The food came out quick! We got the shrimp noodles, beef satay, and the beef rendang. The shrimp noodles were OK. We could have done without them. They were still flavourful. The beef satay and beef rendang was so tasty and flavourful. The beef satay she warned us would be a little fatty which was music to our ears! The beef rendang sauce was so delightful. Highly recommend this restaurant. It will have something for everyone! read more

I love love love this place! Everything from the chicken and rice, porridge, curries, and skewers all tasted authentically Singaporean. I loved the food in Singapore when I visited years ago, and this place brings back so many good memories. Our family take up the big table they have. There is limited seating so I recommend going early if you have a large group. The food here is also very good for takeout! read more

The food's so incredible, I'm reviewing right away so you don't miss out. The service is the best I've had at an Asian restaurant. The design and layout of the restaurant is great for a nice, casual meal. My partner and I ordered the laksa and pork skewers with rice on the side. If you've had khao soi (Thai noodle soup), this laksa is similar and so frickin' delicious. It's a must try if you're in the area and love flavorful soups. The broth is a concoction of coconut milk, chili, and shrimp/seafood flavoring. Included in the bowl are shrimps, quail eggs, fried tofu, fish cake, and clams. The pork skewers were seasoned well and came with a peanut sauce (a tad different from the ones you would get at Thai restaurants). Lastly, the thing that came first - complimentary shrimp chips!!! So fresh and crisp. read more

One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. If you like southeast Asian cuisines (Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, Singaporean), you've got to check this place out. This place has only been opened for 4 months, and it is a family run restaurant. First off, I've never experienced such great service at an Asian restaurant before. The staff was very kind and thoughtful, seating us further inside as she mentioned it could be cold near the door. The restaurant is clean and tidy, and the setup is conducive to small groups. Next comes the food. The seafood laksa is stunningly delicious. Imagine a delicious Thai curry in soup form, mixed with fragrant coconut and the umami flavor from the seafood. I didn't talk the entire meal until it was done. Adding sambal into the mix only somehow enhanced the experience - it wasn't very spicy to me but it can be if you're sensitive to spicy food. The pork skewers were great as well, though we noticed the peanut satay is different from what we are used to (but still very good)! In summary, I will not only be back, but sing it's praises to my friends and get them to try this place out. read more

Never would I imagine having some of the best mee-goreng-beef in a Vacaville strip mall, next to a chinese supermarket, but that's what make this find so special! This place is a small place with a few tables only. and seems like it is a single wok operation kitchen, so everything comes out in serial, very similar to Hawker stand in a way. Let me tell you though. whoever is in the "wok" put out some amazing stir fries. The flavor are also amazing, the beef stripe in the mee-goreng might be some of the most tender I ever had. The laksa soup also taste amazing as well as the shrimp fried rice. Also, the free shrimp chips starter is a great hit with the kids! Definitely looking forward a chance to come back to this place! read more

Having enjoyed the Barzar in my first visit where I had the Beef Radang and my guest had the Laksa a spicy seafood noodle soup with coconut milk, both exotic and great tasting meals that were memorable and not too expensive, I returned. We were greeted by the ever enthusiastic hostess into this eclectic dining experience located in a shopping mall but the food is authentic Indonesian fare. The seating is simple but comfortable and only a few tables I inside, so I expect many order food to go and I witnessed a lot of pick ups. The kitchen is busy behind a curtain and the restaurant is clean and inviting, exotic smells of curry and spice floating out. This time I had the Lamb Satay with tumeric rice and had a garlic dipping sauce that has small red and green Thai peppers , the meat was marinated in some fantastic spices and was amazing, the whole dish was delicious and the presentation was great! My guest had the Hainanese Chicken with ginger and an onions and spice dipping sauce with tumeric rice and the chicken was moist, succulent and light but tasty and the sauce was addictive. The service provided a large pitcher of water and was very attentive and smiling, giving to a homey vibe.Barzar Eatery offers an eclectic menu of authentic and fresh Indonesian dishes at an affordable price that are a definite return dining experience! read more

Barzar Eatery - Chicken rendang (curry) with turmeric rice and homemade shrimp chips - Indonesian Near Me - Vacaville, California

It's hard to find Singaporean food so you can imagine my surprise when I heard a place opened in Vacaville of all cities. We stopped by for lunch today and it's so nicely decorated inside compared to the rundown shopping center it's located in. It's welcoming but also casual. We were greeted by a nice lady who helped us through our entire visit. She explained the menu for us and we all picked our meals. Many of the dishes are shareable which is great, but since it was lunchtime we ended up just picking dishes to eat on our own. Food came out within 15 minutes and it all smelled delicious! My beef rendang was so tender. I almost wish it came with some kind of spicy sauce on the side but it was already delicious as is! I usually try to take half home for leftovers but it was too good to stop eating halfway. I tried the broth from my cousin's laksa since that was my second choice and it was so flavorful, just the right amount of spice too. The lady was so nice and brought out an order of pork satay for us to try because she said it's their popular item but we didn't order it, so she wanted us to try it. She was so sweet! The satay was delicious and also very tender. The peanut sambal sauce was my favorite part! Such a great spot, the only complaint I have is that I have to drive an hour to get there but I'm so glad we have a go-to spot now when we are in the area. read more

Delicious SEA eats! I was looking for any new restaurants in the area on Yelp, and saw this restauraunt pop up. I got super excited because you rarely see any SEA restaurants in the area aside from the usuals like Thai, Viet, or Filipino cuisine. Upon walking in, the ambience and decor is very modern and trendy yet beautiful. Also the cat portraits were super amusing haha! It is a smaller restauraunt with maybe around 10 tables or so. I came in on a Friday night so it wasn't terribly busy. For starters we ordered beef satay. The beef was tender and the sauce is sweet with a little kick to it. I really liked it. My boyfriend really enjoyed his beef rendang, I tried a bit of his and the beef was really tender and flavorful. I tasted a little hint of curry in the sauce. It paired well with the turmeric rice. I ordered nasi goreng, sometimes that I've always wanted to try and their dish did not disappoint! The portion was big so it's definitely shareable. The restauraunt is located to the right of County Square Market, so there's plenty of parking around the area. They have a soft opening right now and the prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly and sweet too! I'd want to come back to take my parents here. read more

I've had my eye on Barzar Eatery for a while now, and I finally got the chance to try it with some Indonesian food experts on our way home from San Francisco. It's a young restaurant, about a year old, and located in a new strip mall in Vacaville, just off the highway. There's an Asian supermarket next door. The ambience inside is modern and a mix of bright, airy walls and dark tables and plates. The mirror inside the bathroom is high tech and fancy. Service was super friendly and fast. You can actually order and pay using the QR code on the table, or do it the old fashioned way with a server. While I like the QR code method (especially if ordering in large groups with split checks), I was really glad they gave us both options. We ordered the shrimp fried rice (nasi goreng), shrimp fried noodles (mee goreng), beef rendang, seafood laksa, lamb satay, chicken satay, and cendol for dessert. We also got a side of white rice and some cendol for dessert. There were complimentary shrimp chips (krupuk) that was refilled when our little krupuk monster kept emptying the plate. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the laksa. The broth was creamy and rich from the coconut milk. Others at the table really enjoyed the beef rendang and lamb satay. I would definitely recommend for people wanting authentic Indonesian food, and I plan to come back to try other menu items. read more

Small cozy restaurant, great friendly service. The food, Wow! Fantastic Hainese chicken, tender, flavorful, served with a delicious ginger green onion sauce. Rendang curry beef was so tender and full of wonderful flavor. We also ordered chicken satay to start. Tender grilled skewered chicken with lemongrass overtones served with a great peanut sauce ( we practically licked the bowl clean!) Can't wait to go again to try the soup and more! read more

This gem of place was an extraordinary surprise as my BFF & I celebrated our respective birthdays! The space itself is immaculate and thoughtfully designed. Simple. Clean. Pretty. The service from (Kiernan?) and his manager...what a JOY! In a DIY world where mediocre service is the top of the espectation scale, they were a true sight for sore eyes! Hospitality at its best! And now for the food...WOW!! Every bite. Every morsel was cooked to perfection! Every mouthful was divinely delicious! From the shrimp chips, to the homemade spicy dipping sauce! Sometimes, our eyes are too big and we over order. More than once we've been confused for food critics. But, it's not that complicated. We just LOVE good food and Barzar Eatery did not disappoint in any way shape or form. We started with the crispy fried-to-perfection egg rolls which & the lamb satay. Incredible flavors and textures. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice, the chicken soto and the beef stew & turmeric rice! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The STAR of the show was the shrimp fried rice! Truly THE best I've ever had, I'll elaborate in a moment but first a little context. This was my first time to a Malaysian, Singaporian and Indonesian-inspired restaurant. I am not really familiar (yet) with these 3 types of cuisine. After we ate I was super curious to know which dishes were which cuisine and the lovey & sweet manager took the time to educate us on what we ordered. Turns, we ordered primarily all Indonesian-style dishes. The next few time, I visit I plan to explore the other two! But back to the Shrimp Fried Rice. This dish I am familiar with and I stopped ordering any type of fried rice anywhere. I find most places make it with too much soy sauce and it over powers the other flavors, or its too oily, or too salty or so bland. The shrimp are usually non-existent, so small you need a micro- scope or old and taste like chalk. It's better just to get steamed rice. Basically, it's been over 20 years since I ordered any fried at any restaurant. This shrimp fried rice was perfection! Subtle and perfectly balances flavors, soy sauce was delicate but definitely present! Rice was perfectly cooked and was buttery but not oily! Plenty of juicy succulent shrimp! It was absolutely heavenly! Can't wait to go back for more!! Thank you Chef!! P.S. There are no pix because the food was so good I forgot! read more

While getting ready for a a long trek to the Bay Area to get good South East Asian food, we saw that Barzar Eatery was closer and decided to check it out! And boy we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious! The Chicken Rendang was more of a chicken curry, but it tasted delicious. The satay was on point, and the sambal was fire. Service was quick and friendly, and the place had a lot of parking in front. Definitely coming back here again. read more

Found BE through a Yelp alert and I don't have a lot of experience with South East Asian cuisine so I was down to try something new. Verdict: Very good!!! Here are my faves: Beef Rendeng: Didn't read the ingredients so I was tasting completely blind. This one was loved by the table. The beef was very tender with a slightly sweetly spiced flavor. Paired with the turmeric rice, this one done in no time. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the sauce base for this dish was coconut curry. I find it so interesting that curry can taste so difference depending on how it is prepared with different spices. Chicken Curry: my personal favorite! This curry sauce was sweeter than the previous dish and some spice. Put some sauce in the turmeric rice, scoop, chew and wait for the magic. YUM! The chicken was tender and flavorful. Just a great dish. Nasi Goreng: This was a close second to being my fave. The description is turmeric, garlic and beef fried rice. I was a little skeptical using turmeric as a main ingredient but I was wrong. This one was super good. BE is located in the Country Market area in Vacaville. It is a small cafe sized place that seats maybe 30 people As this was a soft opening, I know they are still working some things out like hiring more folks and getting their flow down. Overall, the place has mom and pop charm, and that is a good thing. I'm hoping the menu expands a little bit and maybe a native drink would be a great addition. read more

For an Indonesian individual who lives in Fairfield, when I saw this banner at country market square a few months ago I was so excited for this place to open. I've been here twice so far and the only thing I have not tried is the Hainan Chicken rice and satay. I've tried everything else on the menu and all I can say all the food I've tried has been super duper good. And it's so great to have something so close to home now. The waitress who's been servicing us has been such a great person, and she would tell us her honest opinions about the menu whenever you have questions. I am definitely coming back here more often especially when I'm craving something from home, I can't wait for the full menu to be out to continue trying the delicious food here! read more

Made a stop here on the way back to the Bay from Sacramento. Have been wanting to try this place out for quite a while, and it didn't disappoint. Ordered the Nasi Goreng with prawns, Mee Goreng and Soto Madura. The small shrimp keropok served when you are seated was so addictive. I couldn't stop eating them! The Soto Madura was tasty and I really enjoyed the beef tripe. The beef was tender and soup was tasty. The Mee Goreng was excellent! The strong wok hei hit my tastebuds as soon as I bit into the noodles. The Mee Goreng was ok. Maybe because I ordered it without any chilli because people I was sharing it can't take chillies. But I have to say that the prawns were generous in both the Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng! Will be back to try the other dishes. Owners should consider selling their dishes on HubOn so that more people can try their food. read more

This restaurant is right next to County Square market. The server operating the counter sat us right away. Despite taking mobile orders and assisting a busy restaurant she was able to take our orders right away. We were served shrimp chips as we waited for our appetizers and meals to come out, and the chili sauce is made in house. We ordered pangsit goreng, tofu satay, laksa and mee goreng shrimp. Each dish was packed with flavor and we could not collectively decide on a favorite. Will definitely be back again! read more

Food: Everything here is great, but their standouts are the Hainese Chicken(get extra scallion ginger sauce) and their Laksa Soup (just the right amount of spice and a hearty broth with all sorts of goodies including shrimp, quail eggs, fish cake, and more). Would recommend skewers (pick between lamb, beef, and chicken) and the spring rolls. Service: Very quick and responsive. The owner is super nice and welcoming and she brings the free shrimp chips speedily to your table once you enter. They have digital menus now for speedier ordering and paying. Ambiance: A nice cozy setting with minimal decorations, but an interesting and useful assortment of phone stands and benches and tables that seat larger groups. read more

Soft opening! We were passing through Vacaville on a road trip and looking for a spot for lunch. This place had no reviews but given how we love Southeast Asian food we had to try it. We enjoyed the complimentary shrimp chips that arrived while we were deciding what to order. There's an online menu where you can order and pay from your phone, though the staff are eager to share details about the items if you like. We ordered: spring rolls, chicken curry rice, and hainanese chicken rice. Everything was super flavorful and delicious! Loved the marakut lime-garlic dipping sauce that came with the spring rolls, and that chicken curry was sooo tender. Definitely one of the best versions of this dish I've tried. The unlimited citrus-infused water was a nice touch! Check this spot out! read more

Who knew such good Indonesian food would just exist in Vacaville?! We tried the beef tripe mee goreng, pork skewers, tumeric rice, beef soto madura, a shrimp dish, and the seafood salad.

Pros: - Friendly staff - Clean environment - Ordered Pork Satay. Dish was flavorful and not dry, which was a pleasant surprise. Cons: - Place was out of every stir fried item or for some reason, they were not able to serve it. This was during lunch hour. - Ordered Soto Madura, which is described as a beef noodle soup. Care to guess what was missing? The beef, but got everything else. Dish was lacking in flavor so I pretty much used the entire chili sauce they provided. Tldr: 2 stars for service and Pork Satay. Call ahead to make sure they can serve their entire menu and double check your dish to make sure you get all the items described in the menu. read more

Legit Indonesian food. My Indonesian spouse enjoyed it an can attest to the authenticity of the dishes. Generous proportions.
