We really enjoyed our rice table meal for two. We loved the satay, especially the goat, as well as multiple other dishes. Flavor variety was great and we did not think the food was sugary as another reviewer stated. Service was good and very friendly. Accommodated allergies without a hitch. read more

Disclaimer: I'm an Indonesian Blauw doesn't disappoint. Although the interior, decor and the staff are all Dutch / Europeans, their food is still authentic Indonesian, that's what's most important here. I got recommended this restaurant by an Indonesian friend who's lived in the Netherlands for quite some time, so Blauw is the "fancier" version of Indonesian dining in Amsterdam. We ordered rijstaffel, all three of us, although my boyfriend and I decided to share by paying a little bit extra, but since we were quite full from the beer we had before, it was just perfect size. The food was overflowing the table, almost, but they were all delicious. I personally like their vegetarian dishes because the meat is sort of "same-same" in pidgin' English. So if you're around in Amsterdam and want to dine Indonesian, with a little bit of fancy touch, go to Blauw, and order the vegetarian one, since it's more tasty. Do remember to book a table because it's a popular place! read more

Large portions of wonderful Indonesian food earned this place a recommendation from the NY Times as the best Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam and it is well deserved. Try the spring rolls and lamb! read more

Omg... This place blauwed my face off!! I've had a few rijsttafel places in Amsterdam and I was SURE I had had found the best, being Tempo Doeloe... Well, I'm so sorry to have to dump my dear T-Doeloe, but Restaurant Blauw is JUST TOO GOOD! I knew about this place because I used to live in that 'hood and a fellow Yelper told me it's the closest to real Indonesian cuisine. Quite frankly, if food tastes like this, I don't CARE where it came from as long as it is in my mouth frequently and abundantly! The atmosphere is a little too upscale for the humble/ghetto me, but again.... For food that tastes like this, I'll dine from a trash can floating in one of the Amsterdam canals while being attacked by swans from the Red Light district. Of course I got the rijsttafel menu because why would you get anything else at an Indonesian place, and I can vouch that EACH AND EVERY dish was suuuuper flavorful and blauwed chunks of my face off plate after plate. This is the main reason why I like this place over others because instead of liking 10/24 dishes, I like 24/24. I'm no statistician, but 100% rate yumminess is pretty god damn good!! In particular, the cinnamon beef shizzle and anise pork chunks... I don't usually eat much meat, but if cooked like that, I will convert into a strict tyranoindomeatatariasaurus!! The service was really weird and awkward, which made for an even more enjoyable experience (I like out things a little on the strange side) At the end of our meal as I rubbed my dirty fingers over my fat and indo-filled Buddha belly, I told our waitress that the food rocked my face off. She looked at me inquisitively while closely examining my face and told me that she concluded that my face was still there... No scheisse Sherlock!! Anyway, I encourage each and everyone one of you readers to check this place out and see if YOUR face will be blauwn off as mine was. As for me, I will continue to keep coming back... on my knees... ready to open my watering mouth and blauw this place anytime!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! read more

You gotta have Indian food in the UK, the same as people here say you must try Indonesian food in the Netherlands. I have not any much previous experience with Indonesian food and was quite excited to have a rice table experience. Blauw was the first recommendation that popped up when searching on yelp and google. We tried to walk in for a Saturday dinner but they were jam packed (the restaurant looks small from the outside but it's actually quite big inside with two levels and several different dining sections), and we decided to make a reservation for another day instead. So if you do come here during the weekends, please do yourself a favor and make a reservation. We ordered their rice table for two without reservation as we would like to taste as many dishes as possible. When our meal was being bought to the table, it was like opening a magic box, with one plate after another other and it took two rounds to get them all together on our table. And it was quite a challenge to capture all of the dishes in one picture! There were chicken, beef, lamb, fish cakes, shrimp dishes all prepared in its unique way. I felt like a kid opening a box of chocolates and was so excited to try them all. The flavor profile had a great complexity with exciting herbs and spices. Since I have not had much Indonesian food so I cannot speak to authenticity of this restaurant. I wished for a more authentic experience too with actual banana leaves as the plate but was happy with what we got. Our server was very helpful and attentive throughout the evening too. P.S. I'm very surprised to read some nasty reviews from fellow Yelpers and had no idea where they were coming from. But when you are dining in a different country and culture, it is you that have to adapt to local customs not the other way around. read more

A little known fact about rijstaffel is that Julia Child was into them well before she was into French food. A more well known fact is that the Dutch really think they are amazing for having somehow partaken in some way or form in shaping this wonder for the world. But of course they must because they are a people who eat fries with mayonnaise. On purpose. So given that choice, and some time, And about 30 Euros, go to Blauw. Don't eat lunch. Just go there and don't worry if you have to go alone like I did. I am a girl and I ate a 14 course meal all by myself. You'll pay a lot for one dish so my suggestion is to skip that and do the rijstaffel. Each dish is about 3-6 bites and if you eat less rice, and focus on the flavor profile of the meat, fish and veggies you'll get a better deal. What's included? Goat satay, chicken satay, two types of fish, beef curry, pork curry, beef rendang, chicken meatball, pisang goreng, long beans, tofu and sprouts, egg telor, dry coconut topping, mixed veggies, nasi goreng and plain rice. And something else I'm forgetting surely. They were super nice to me even though: 1. I was alone 2. I had no reservation 3. I had walked in the rain and was perhaps a little less put together than some. I'm pretty picky about Indonesian flavors because its a profile I'm familiar with and one that I miss living in the United States. We do many things well but apparently not the foods of the former Dutch colonies. See yet another failing of the Dutch. They named our cities New Amsterdam, Harlem, Brooklyn etc., but did they have the good sense to leave their colonial empires foods with us? No. Probably why its 2013 and they still lament the loss of their empire. Okay, but given the general awesomeness of Indonesian food and the absence of it in the US, this is a must go for my peoples and a must go for people who like food. And there is even a vegetarian rijstaffel for those who are more ethical than myself and don't eat our non human friends. read more

As big fans of Indonesian cuisine, while in Amsterdam we simply had to seek out at least one Indo restaurant, given the colonial history/link between the Dutch and Indonesia. Research revealed that this is one of the better rijsttafel places in town, so reservations were made, well in advance. This is probably the best idea, as the place does seem to be popular among locals and off-the-beaten-path-type culinary tourists. Indeed, when we went, it was doing brisk business - I doubt we would have been seated without a reservation. Rijsttafel means "rice table," and if you've not been to an Indonesian restaurant before, when you order one of these, it basically means that every square inch of your table will be occupied by a small plate of food. It's a true feast, and not just for the digestive system - it's also a visual feast. Just look at some of the pictures, they tell the story far better than my words are able. Get a rijsttafel. They aren't cheap, but if you're dining here, you might as well go all in, don't skimp. There's a vegetarian option if so inclined, but otherwise, the small plates will consist of various meats (fish, beef, chicken) in various sauces - some sweet, some spicy, some sweet and spicy - with some pickled veggies, and toasted coconut, which is intended to be sprinkled on top once you dump rice and the seemingly endless choices on your own personal plate. The coconut may seem extraneous, pointless, but I highly suggest using it. This food is an explosion of flavor as it stands, but the addition of the toasted coconut really sends it over the edge, lending just a little more flavor pop and texture. Dessert? Hah, unlikely. While all of the plates making up the rice table are very small, often yielding only 2-3 bites per person, they do add up. By the time you're done, you're quite full. If I was a local and could come here more often, I might order a single plate entree, so that I might explore the sweets menu with a more-yielding stomach. For a special occasion, though, being that full was worth trying a much greater selection of this place's excellent food. read more

Wow, wow, wow. I lived in Indonesia for two months a couple of years back, so I've eaten my fair share of good and bad Indonesian food in my lifetime. I was told that the best food outside of Indonesia can be found in Amsterdam - specifically at this restaurant - and I'm glad to say I was not disappointed. My friend and I managed to score one of the last reservations for a Tuesday night, attesting to the restaurant's popularity. So - make a reservation! The restaurant felt upscale and cozy, which I liked. While this is the most I've paid for Indo food, it was 100% worth every cent spent because it was that good. My friend and I opted to share the beef rendang and the selera blauw combo, which is essentially a sampler platter of 15-20 Indonesian dishes. It was way too much food, but everything we ate was so mouthwateringly good. Especially the beef rendang. Just spectacular. I highly recommend ordering a combo (rijsttafels in Dutch) so you can get a good sampling of dishes. Service is good here although they struggle with takeaway (they only have large containers and no bags) but that's a minor blip. I would 100% recommend this place and definitely return the next time I find myself in Amsterdam. read more

My friend who lives in Amsterdam took us here for the Rijsttafel, we ordered the meat/veggie/seafood one, and it was one of the best meals of my life! This place has great atmosphere, service, and most importantly, fresh and such DELICIOUS food. Can't recommend enough. Make sure to make a reservation! read more

If you are like me and love to try a little bit of everything - dine here and get the rice table! my boyfriend and I loved everything we tried. Some of the meats were sweeter than we preferred but we had a great experience none the less :) read more

Fantastic restaurant, I take my guests there every time I have visit from home - which means I've been to Blauw pretty often, and I was never disappointed! the food is simply delicious, there's not much more needed to say... A little bit off center, but what a nice bike ride through vondelpark to get there. Definitely a must try in Amsterdam!! read more

I am not certain I ever had Indonesion food prior to my experience at Blauw, but I can absolutely say they are my favorite! I cannot wait for my next trip to Amsterdam, becuase I will definitelty be back! I was taken with a group of Dutch friends and they did not let me order anything, I believe we did the rice table, but dish after dish everything we were served was incredible, to say the least. read more

Excellent food and service. It was totally worth the walk of 4 km a visit is a must if you re in town. The riseplates was almost magical even if we were seated in the so called bar we hardly notice the passing by ppl. So make sure to resevate seats. We were surpriced with desserts special deliveryed by tghe cheif himself - note this staff does that little extra to put a smile on your face. read more

I'm leaving this review with fond memories of a trip to The Netherlands from 2014 - so it should be taken with a grain of salt. Judging by the reviews however many have found it just as great as me since then! That said, rijsttafel is a food type everyone should try in their life and if you're so lucky to be visiting The Netherlands, Amsterdam is an excellent place to do it. (Like burritos in San Francisco) For those like me who have never heard of rijsttafel, it's essentially Korean BBQ apps/tapas/dim sum style Indonesian food served in a series of small plates containing meat and vegetable dishes accompanied by rice and bread. The foods and flavors are all of Indonesian descent and influence (think Burmese style Indian-East Asian fusion) but my understanding is the presentation is entirely of Dutch Indonesian design. All that background out of the way - let me tell you some things about why this restaurant is a great fit / find. -close to airport. This may have changed in recent times but transportation in Amsterdam is dam(n) expensive [pun intended]. This restaurant can be your first stop without the crazy journey of getting downtown. -excellent variety and quality of dishes. I didn't have another point of comparison of this food type to go by but having eaten at some great restaurants elsewhere this stands among them -reasonable price point. Everyone was stuffed at $40-50 a person with leftovers and drinks. Even with high Amsterdam prices it's tough to find this in SF. Now we just need to get this food type to the Bay Area. I know at least four people who would line up for the opening! read more

You shouldn't miss the opportunity to have rijstafel (rice table) when you are in Amsterdam. This is an elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch that consists of many small dishes, including egg rolls, sambals, satay, grilled meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, pickles, nuts and rice. They also have a vegetarian rijstaffel! You can have this dish at many restaurants, but those in the Centrum are catering to tourists and not quite as good. This restaurant is local and was exceptional and is easy to reach by tram or a lovely bike ride through Vondelpark. Our dinner for two with 4 beers was about 90 euros and worth every euro. My only complaint was the wait for the food was almost an hour. They apologized and said this was unusual, but be prepared to wait awhile, because it is popular. And make a reservation. read more

I'm just piling on the positive reviews now, but they deserve it. Make a reservation (we saw numerous people turned away at the door), get the Rijsttafel (we had two of them and both were great, the fish was particularly stellar) and wash it down with some Bintang. It was the meal we couldn't wait for in Amsterdam and even with high expectations it delivered. Great food, service, and a nice environment. read more

I had to end my loving 2 year relationship with Tempo Doeloe after meeting Blauw. Sorry, TD, but Blauw was amazing! The waitress was very awkward and making awkward jokes to my boyfriend, but we can appreciate a little quirkiness in our waitstaff :) The rijstafel was amazing... flavors bursting all over my face and mouth. I can't even remember what it all included, but every bite was a delight and we were one step away from licking those plates. Just saying. The place itself is also nice because it has those uneven levels and unique layout. FOR SURE the place to go for some amazing Indonesian food! read more

One word: Rijsttafel. Normally, I'm a meat kind of girl, but I think the fish and veggie options here are better than the meat dishes, based on the EIGHTEEN different dishes I sampled during my culinary journey at Blauw. Of the 6-7 meat dishes we had, the goat skewers were the standout. Of the others, the mixed veggies in a savory and spicy coconut broth really surprised me. It looked like a dish of ordinary steamed vegetables, but the flavors were light and quite subtle. Another top notch dish was a curry-ish dish made with eggs. It was totally unique yet really simple. Why didn't people think of pairing curry with eggs earlier? Such a good combination. I also remember a yummy tofu dish in a soy-based sauce with some soy bean sprouts on top. What I loved about every dish was that things that were supposed to be spicy were intentionally spicy. Blauw didn't just throw some chilis on top of each dish and call it a day. Each dish had a different level of spiciness or saltiness or sweetness that was very intentional. Also, clearly, with a sampler of 18 plates, there is an incredible amount of variety. The spiciest dish we had was a fish in a sweet/sour red sauce. My bf took a bite, went "it's not that spicy," and then immediately ate his words and downed all of his water and what remained of my water. My advice is to save the sour/sweet pickle dish for pairing with the spicy meat & fish dishes so that you don't get stuck in my bf's situation. :) This is not a place where they will ask you what level of spice you would like or can tolerate. They keep it real and do it right! If it's too spicy for you, then too bad. The fish dish we ordered apart from the rijsttafel consisted of battered white fish in a curry sauce with coconut milk -- very rich and delicious. We also ordered 2 glasses of white wine -- both were really delicious and reasonably priced at around 5 euros a pop. I recommend the first white on the second page...I wish I remembered what it was called! Total, our meal came out to 68 euros. I think for Amsterdam, that is a pretty darn good deal. Definitely coming back! read more

Yesss. YEEESSS. This is the indonesian food I have been hunting for in Amsterdam. I had the seafood rijsstafel with my friend and literally everything I ate was delicious. The service is great too, and the atmosphere very cozy, as the (rather large) restaurant is divided into smaller zones. They do offer to take your photo at the beginning of the evening and put it on their website, which made me twitch at first (it just screams TOURIST TRAP) but I have to admit (having downloaded the photo) that actually it's kind of a nice touch. We paid 50Eur each for dinner (including a bottle of wine), which is more than I would normally pay but definitely worth it in this case. Amazing place to bring parents, guests, dates, etc. And definitely worth the trip to the far side of Vondelpark. read more

My favorite Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam so far! €37 for chef's tasting menu is a good deal which gives you an appetizer, a main (with many small side dishes), and a large dessert! If you are serious about trying good Indonesian food, look no further! read more

For how much this place was recommended, the service destroyed the experience. We were checked on zero times, requested a dessert without nuts and was then served pistachios. The food itself was average. read more

Came here with a reservation due to the hype of Indonesian and Malaysian food out here. Came in and it was pretty fancy of a setup for Asian food haha. We sat in front of a cute platform that warmed the food as we ate. Our group ordered the rijsttafels (group menu) so we can share, which helped because we didn't have to pick a bunch of our own dishes. It came with over 20 dishes not including a huge bowl of rice. We had the selera blauw which was the all meat one vs the all seafood & vegetarian. The dishes came out quick in the cutest leaf shapes. Everyone loved the meatball, and I personally liked the fried rice and skewered best of all the dishes. The cucumber pickled dish was refreshing and reminds me of Thai food. The server was exceptionally friendly but ordering and asking for things took them awhile. Ordered two apple nojitos and got only one - also took forever to get the second one when we told them it was missing. A little slow in service compared to what we are use to back in the states, but they're really friendly. Left super full and paid around 40€ ($46USD) each which wasn't bad including all our drinks. Food was good and worth trying, especially just seeing the cute plating. read more

Do NOT, under any circumstances, eat here if you are serious about eating gluten free. This restaurant is an icon for how not to treat and serve customers. We particularly chose this restaurant as they brag of being gluten free friendly. They don't get it and are not properly trained or informed. You will be I'll. We clearly explained our need for only gluten free food prior to ordering. We emphasized how important it was to us. We explained that we couldn't eat food fried in a fryer with other foods containing gluten. We asked if any of this was a problem and were assured they would take care of our request. When our food arrived we asked again if it was gluten free. We were assured it was. Then we pointed out several dishes that looked like they contained gluten and asked the waiter to go back to check with the kitchen. She came back and said two had gluten but the other 5 did not. After becoming very ill after tasting them we asked for a manager who told us only one dish of the 7 was gluten free. We had barely touched any of our expensive dinner and we walked away in pain and with absolutely no adjustment or accommodation. Just an empty apology and our full bill. I'm livid and am still suffering 4 days later. read more

I think my mistake was ordering the rice table... it was nothing special. What looked special were all the ala carte dishes that were coming out. I'm still a novice to indonesian food but trying to find dishes i enjoy so i won't give my dutch partner the .. "i guess we can eat indonesian this evening" look. The atmosphere is very nice, i will say. They have different levels/floors to eat on. A more modern than traditional type of vibe. The service was also very good. My 3 stars is just based on their rice table which was... well... a-ok. read more

An amazing place!!! After traveling for three months around Europe, my boyfriend and I were tired, ready to go home to South Beach, and definitely wanting some great food. We have a truly special Indonesian restaurant in Miami Beach, so we were very excited to find a top Indonesian place to go in Amsterdam. From the moment we walked in with our reservation, we were treated very well and had great service. Our waitress was awesome!!! Knowing that we were familiar with the style of food, she let us know the 'must-haves' that we might have missed. The menu is large and does a super job of catering to both meat-eaters (my bf) and non-meat-eaters (myself). I was completely impressed by the number and types of sauces! I honestly can say there wasn't one dish I did not like. And my bf enjoyed his goat as well as partaking in the vegetarian dishes. The chef was fabulous and came out to say hello. He spent a generous amount of time explaining different foods, the concept of the restaurant, and even created a special dessert selection which allowed us to taste a variety of what is offered. This is a place that one MUST visit when in Amsterdam!!!! Thank you guys for giving us a great experience to end our European journey :) read more

This is a nice restaurant. The service is great and the people are friendly. The food is tasty. But, its very expensive and it sort of feels like a formula. The food came out about 4 min after ordering it. I think, that it was because it was the Rijsttafel, that its already prepared. I bet there dishes are amazing, but seeing as my boyfriend is a vegetarian, the only real option was the vege rijsttafel, as €22 for an omelet seemed weird. There was too much food (which isnt a complaint.) I think two people could share one Rijsttafel. Its a very nice and clean place, but you can tell that they pack people in there and that its a business and (it feels) that its not about the love of the food. read more

Great meal, love the idea that everything was around two bites but you get a spread of so many dishes. The curries and satay we well made. If yes u are indecisive and want to go to a place and try everything on the menu this is the kind of place for you. I don't even know how to begin recapping the many dishes we had. read more

I ate at Blauw last night and it was one of those incredibly unfortunate dining experiences where the service was so bad that it completely overshadowed what would have been a pretty solid meal. It was, at best, a comedy of errors, but our server's apathetic attitude and curt demeanor coupled with the terribly poor handling of the situation, made it feel like a personal affront. Here's how it all went down: When our server first approached our table (finally, after sitting for almost 10 minutes without menus or water), she gave--what we realized after examining the menus--was a wholly insufficient description of the food and rijsttafel service. To be fair, the menu is complicated, with several different ways of dining, and a numbering system for dish allergens -- the explanation for which is all the way in the back of the menu. When she came back to the table to ask if we had any questions, I inquired about the dairy content of the vegetarian rijsttafel option (a list of 10+ individual veg dishes with a single, small '7' beside the menu item name indicating the presence of dairy in--some? all?--the dishes included). She unhelpfully directed our attention back to the '7' and explained that, as per the key, the vegetarian smorgasbord did indeed contain dairy. When I asked her to specify exactly which dishes had dairy, she stated that for that specific information she'd have to ask the kitchen and reluctantly went to do so. (Look, I worked in the restaurant industry for many years and I know that dealing with guests' dietary restrictions is a pain, but it's a necessary evil and servers HAVE to know that stuff. Also, what is the point of listing allergens on your menu if the staff can't tell you which dishes actually contain them??) Once we got an answer, we placed our food/drink order and received our drinks and shared small appetizer within a reasonable amount of time. But then, after the app plate was cleared, we proceeded to wait for OVER AN HOUR for our entrees, 30 minutes of which was spent sitting without drinks, and eventually without water (we sat down at 9 - entrees didn't hit the table until 10:30). To put this in perspective -- All the tables around us that had arrived later, were almost finished with their meals by the time we got our food. Our server didn't seem to care, responding callously to us when we asked about it. She never once asked us if we'd like more drinks or bothered to refill our empty water glasses. When we asked a passing food runner about the food, she couldn't give us an answer but she offered us some tea/coffee while we waited. We obviously didn't want to have coffee after having only just eaten apps so we asked if we could instead have another round of our earlier drinks. She obliged but then poured my partner a different beer than he'd had. When the food finally arrived, it came piecemeal and without even the slightest apology. When we requested a side of sambal our server asked us if we wanted "the same sambal you had with the chips?" (which we didn't have). A manager never visited the table, and unsurprisingly, neither did our server after that point. She just simply handed us off to another staff member. We ordered coffee and desert, but never got the digestive that every other table received. We did, of course, get to hear it described proudly to the table behind us by our former server as coming--with compliments--"with ALL coffee and tea orders". Nice! By the time we paid the check (which took twenty minutes to come and included everything we'd had with the exception of the single round of INCORRECT drinks), it was past midnight. So yeah, overall awful dining experience. Hope they can get their front-of-house operations in order so that their food is what guests remember - as opposed to their totally incomprehensibly bad service. read more

It is the best Indonesian I've had in AMS. Great service, and tasty food. Having allergies to coconut and fish, they were very accommodating and were able to set the meal so my husband and I had equal portions for a shared Rijstaffel. Meat and Vegitarian Rijstaffel are available. Reservations a must! Try the cake with an espresso. read more

You should come here for one thing only - the famous rijstaffel, or "rice table", which is a concept only found in Holland. But with Indonesian food. Here, my wife & I both ordered the rijstaffel and out from the kitchen came over 18 dishes, which looked amazing! It was definitely more than enough food for the 30 euros per person. Being a Malaysian, I'm quite used to the Indonesian style of food, so it was good, was not the best I've had. It was spicy though - if you can't take spicy, you might struggle a little bit here! read more

Wow! I'd heard about Blauw for about a year and had been wanting to try it. Finally a special occasion gave me the opportunity to go and the only special occasion the four of us need to return is simply for the food. It was delicious. We had the vegetarian rice table for two and the seafood rice table for two. Everyone was more than satisfied. I left full but not uncomfortably so. I'm glad we made reservations as it was fairly crowded, but after 9:30 it thinned out and there were several walk ins. My Amsterdam friend claimed it was some of the best Indonesian food he'd had. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Disclaimer: I've only had Indonesian food a handful of times so my palette is not refined compared to people who are familiar with this cuisine. Blauw is a tame way to dive into Indonesian cuisine, especially their rijsttafels (rice table) menu. It's the easiest way to taste your way through a variety of dishes if you're unsure of where to start. It's massive, though, so expect to have plenty left over if you don't have a huge appetite. My friend and I split the Selera Blauw with mixed results. White rice and fried rice came out just fine - fluffy and not overdone. Unfortunately, there were some inconsistencies with the dishes. Vegetables, egg with sambal sauce, curries, spicy beef, and sweet pork came out great. The satays were sadly stringy and dry. It also took considerable time between orders for drinks to arrive or get refills for water (especially as some of the dishes were rather spicy). For the most part, we were happy with the meal despite some misses. The restaurant itself is lovely and a great space for either business dinners or bringing out-of-town guests. Due to the poshness of presentation and space, the price point is significantly higher than other Indonesian restaurants. read more

Best Indoneisan food I've had in Amsterdam so far. As someone who only eats fish and vegetables, I found this place to be the most fresh and with diverse options. Often times Indonesian is focused on the meat dishes and easily overcooked. This wasn't the case. The decor is very modern and a bit cramped; I wish it had more of a traditional Indonesian feel, but food first! One awkward thing -- hard for one person to finish a whole rijsttafel and they won't let you share one AND they won't let you take it home. No doggy bags! They gave us some weird food safety reason. We ended up forcing ourselves to chow down more--waistline regret... read more

Just go do it. You have to experience a "rice table" once in your life. We did one meat and one seafood. Each had about ten small courses. 80% of them were quite good. Very flavorful. We didn't feel that we had overeaten. The Indonesian beer was good too. The table will be full of small plates of food. You pick and choose as you go. All in all, a wonderful experience. If you've never done a "rice table", do it here. read more

Outstanding Indonesian restaurant - what a fabulous dinner. We ordered the rice table and were completely impressed. A varied collection of pork, beef (spicy and not), chicken, goat, egg, cucumber salad, cod, shrimp and more. Everything was well prepared and just yummy. Check itnout! read more

Blauw - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

We ordered 2 'rice tables' for 2 people and it was way too much food. We were overwhelmed by the quantity of food and we could not remember all the dishes they brought at the same time. Furthermore, this type of service does not really let you pace your appetite. Next time, I will order a normal appetizer followed by a main course. read more

This was one of the few restaurants we would go to at an "early" hour and there would already be quite a few people seated eating -- it's that popular. We were very excited to come here as it sounded like one of the best places in Amsterdam to experience Indonesian food. The service was pretty disappointing -- slow and not attentive. We ordered three Rijstaffel for a party of four and we still had food left over. The food is tasty and delicious, and I'm told it's among the best Indonesian food in the city. Yet, it was extremely spicy, and left me with a horrible stomachache. No one else in my family was affected in the same way. read more

Wow do you get a lot of plates. Be prepared to be bombarded some vessels of food! We decided to get the meat and just paid the extra for the split charge. There would have been no way we could have both ordered it on our own. It was the perfect amount of food. Not too full or hungry at the end. Location is right next to the park so make a great place to visiting before or after dinner. Definitely a must try if you want to experience Indonesian food. My favorite dish was the goat. Very flavorful. Some say it all starts to taste the same, but we didn't feel that way at all. Yes some plates or sweet or savory but that's to be expected. read more

Blauw - So many plates ! We went for the meat - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I'm not going to say much more than the other! If you go there, you have to try the rice table! It is really good (a little expensive, aroud 33/per but i's worth it). Be careful, some dishes are spicy ! There is also a 70euros menu, all inclusive, with appetizers, drinks, rice table and dessert. It seemed cool but you have to be very hungry. The rice table is HUGE. The service was perfect! Good to know: you HAVE to reserve first on their website. They are always full, so don't forget! read more

My favorite Rijstafel in Amsterdam! Go with a group and enjoy!
