    I wanted to like Warung much more than I did…read more Knowing I couldn't find Indonesian restaurants that easily back home, I booked a table at this Nordic influenced spot on a Thursday evening. The place drew a crowd and had an inviting atmosphere. Settling in, I went with a set meal (lumpia + venison rendang + rhubarb spring rol) and a "Jamulicious" cocktail. The drink would be the highlight of the meal: an excellent mix of whiskey + whipped palm sugar + ginger + galangal + honey + lemongrass + lemon juice + flaked coconut. The lumpia was unexpectedly breaded and deep fried, filled with mushrooms. The filling lacked much flavor, though the salad on the side had a pleasant chili dressing. The rendang was tender and fragrant without much of a kick, served with jasmine rice and a few small bits of vegetable. The rhubarb spring roll had potential (sweet/tart rhubarb filling in a light and crispy wrapper) but the creme fraiche sauce didn't add the right balance and the berries served with it were ice cold

    Disclaimer: I'm an Indonesian…read more I'm really torn in giving this review. One part - I am really happy that there is an Indonesian restaurant in Stockholm, albeit that it's a fusion one. The other part - there's not much Indonesian about the food apart from the name. We came here for dinner since they're only open for dinner and for a la carte menu these days. A shame, since I was looking forward to trying their lunch menu that had bakso and other interesting Indonesian light dishes. Service was great and the restaurant didn't have many seats, but it has this nice vibe with it that blends Scandi minimalism with ethnic decor that supposed to enhance the Indonesian part of the dining experience. Food: Now here's where it gets interesting. We had ikan kari (fish curry) and rendang rusa (moose rendang). It's brilliant that they chose local ingredients to blend with Indonesian spices and it should have worked but the taste was way too mild, I could hardly taste much of it. Rendang rusa would have been a good match, I love rendang and I love moose, so what went wrong? I had no idea. It wasn't rendang that I tasted last night, it was some sort of älggryta to be honest. The ikan kari? Don't get me started - you don't use salmon for curry. Salmon is a fat fish and it's the kind of fish that we don't have in Indonesia, so it was wrong in the beginning. They could have used torsk/cod for that. The only dish that good was the fish perkedel, which was also strange since we never use fish in a perkedel, but it was strong and spicy as it should be. Overall verdict: The food was too mild to be called Indonesian (and I'm not even talking about the chilli spiciness, just spices in general). It was good, but it wasn't Indonesian and calling it so was some sort of a misnomer. I know that this restaurant is serving fusion food, but they did say that fusion is that they're using local ingredients combined with Indonesian spices, and unfortunately I hardly detected any Indonesian in those dishes.
