Nasi Kuning (Turmeric Rice Combination)
Vanny K.

I was craving Indonesian food and found on Yelp that there were two places nearby serving Indonesian dishes. We decided to try Lezat Indonesia Kitchen, which turned out to be a ghost kitchen -- a large shared commercial kitchen space used by different chefs rather than a traditional dine-in restaurant. We placed our order through the DoorDash app and received live updates when the food was ready for pickup. At the pickup station, we scanned the DoorDash order details, and one of the cubbies automatically opened with our order inside.

Nasi Kuning (vegan), Tofu mi goreng and roti
Wendy G.

Pros -Mi goreng (medium spicy) was very good, with a huge portion size and hitting all the right tangy - spicy - sweet notes -Vegan Nasi Kuning was beautifully presented and allowed me to try numerous small components. The yellow rice topping was delicious and I liked the spicy, savory notes of the bailado tofu -Roti had good flavor and texture Cons -Both Yelp and delivery sites show Lezat open during lunch hours but today my lunch order was canceled at the last minute after GrubHub driver already arrived due to "Business Closed until 4:45 pm. " so I held out until dinner. -The curry dip accompanying the roti was thin and lacked flavor -The Nasi Kuning components weren't as tasty as a whole as I expected. Would order dinner delivery again, but stick with the Mi goreng and roti (accompanied by my own homemade dip)

Sayur asam! Sooo good!!!

Wow!!!! What a GREAT FIND! While vacationing in SD, I missed indonesian food, so I looked up to see if SD has indonesian restaurant, and I found Lezat! I called to pre-order my food, the lady told me the time to pick.it up. They do t have a restaurant, it's a Shared kitchen warehouse looking place that house several other "food businesses". You can order your food online (or call ahead) OR head there and they have tablets at the lobby for you to place food order, typical wait time is about 15 minutes. I ordered nasi kuning (yellow rice) with beef rendang, grilled chicken plate with coconut rice (i asked for this instead of regular rice), chicken satay, perkedel (fried mashed potatoes) and martabak telur (fried pastries filled with eggs and gree onion). I have to say as an indonesian, the food here is legit!!! So so so good and perfectly seasoned. The Portion is generous too! Service was top notch and she was perfectly on time! Told me to come at 1245 and exactly at 1245 she texted me saying food is ready and I could meet her up front. Loveeeee it! Check it out if you want to try good authentic and affordable indonesian food without having to fly to indonesia!

This is where you pick the food up

Area is a little sketch but I kind of like the kitchen concept. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. LIKE WOW I HAD GRILLED CHICKEN. AND IT WAS GRILLED ON A BBQ GRILL. FLAVORED WELL. JUICY. I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT ALL WEEK. Sorry for yelling. But that's literally how I feel about the food. Top tier and I also had the nasi goreng. I've been to Indonesia and Indonesian food is literally my top favorite in the world. So this was a treat.

Omg Tini ! The food was amazing, everyone loved it. My dog even ate some. Everyone took food home with them. Great service, super easy to order. This meal definitely set the ambience for our family gathering. We will definitely be reordering. Thank you so much. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving!

Ayam Penyet (Smashed Fried Chicken) Nasi Kuning (Turmeric Rice Combination) Nasi Rendang (Beef Rendang Rice)
Stephanie P.

If you're looking for REAL Indonesian food in San Diego, look no further than Lezat Kitchen! This place is an absolute hidden gem, bringing the true essence of Indonesian home cooking with flavors that are bold, authentic, and nearly impossible to find in California. If you're Indonesian and miss home, this will instantly take you back. If you've never had Indonesian food, this is the perfect place to start! The Food - Authentic, Flavorful, and Just Like Home Nasi Kuning - This fragrant yellow rice dish is a classic in Indonesian cuisine. The one at Lezat Kitchen is well-balanced, though slightly milder than the traditional version. It's fluffy, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with the side dishes. A comforting staple that reminds me of home! Rendang - THE STAR OF THE SHOW. If you haven't tried rendang before, it's a slow-cooked beef dish braised in coconut milk and an aromatic blend of spices until it becomes tender, rich, and packed with umami. I've tried many rendang dishes across the U.S., and people often praise the ones in LA, but trust me--this one is SO much better! The spices, the texture, the deep caramelization--it tastes exactly like the rendang you'd get in Indonesia. It's rare to find this level of authenticity! Telor Balado - A comforting, homey dish of fried eggs coated in spicy sambal balado. The sambal here has a unique, refreshing twist, giving it a perfect balance of heat and tanginess. They also serve Sambal Ijo, another type of sambal made from green chilies, which is incredibly flavorful and adds the perfect kick! Urap - A traditional Javanese vegetable dish with grated coconut, making it light, fresh, and packed with flavor. The coconut and spices blend beautifully, giving that true authentic Indonesian taste. Kale Soup - This dish instantly reminded me of Sayur Lodeh, a comforting Indonesian vegetable soup made with coconut milk. Even though they use kale, the broth and flavors perfectly replicate the taste of home. It's warm, nourishing, and has that signature Indonesian spice kick. Ayam Penyet - Insanely crispy, juicy, and absolutely delicious. If you've had real Indonesian ayam penyet, you know the standard is HIGH--and this one does not disappoint! The chicken is perfectly smashed, well-seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection. The sambal is excellent, though slightly less spicy than the ones you'd find in Indonesia (which makes sense since not everyone here can handle extreme heat like Indonesians can ). But trust me, it's still SO good! Chicken Satay - Another standout dish! The satay here tastes just like the Sate Abang-Abang (street-style chicken satay) that you'd find on the streets of Jakarta. Unlike the more refined Sate Khas Senayan, this version is grilled to smoky perfection, served with rich peanut sauce, and brings that nostalgic, comforting taste. If you're a fan of satay, you HAVE to try this! And the best part? Tante Tini, the owner, is one of the kindest, most humble people you'll ever meet. She puts so much love and passion into every dish, and you can truly taste it in the food.

The food is delicious!! I had to comeback. The parking suck!! Too many cars double/ triple park. Service is excellent!! We order online and pick it up! The place is nice. There's some seat in the lawn but they blocked off the handicapped parking. I can't walk due to a leg injury so I drag my daughter to get the food for me, lol. The food is made to order so please be patient and they are pretty nice when you call to get eta on your food! Will continue coming back for more!!

Nasi Kuning with urap is so delish! The urap is tasty

Slightly late on review of this great Indonesian food served from a ghost kitchen in San Diego - quick and so convenient. Food was authentic, delicious and the service from Tini was exceptional! They will text you once food is ready and there's bench seating on lawn in front. Recommend to try their food!

What exactly is the seating situation? Most reviews infer take it to go but I live 20+ miles away.

There is a small patio with several picnics tables where you can eat. Note that the area isn't the most scenic but the food makes up for it!!

Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

We've been wanting to try this place since it first opened, so we were excited to finally make the…read moredrive up and celebrate a special occasion here. As we all know, San Diego and the surrounding county are pretty limited when it comes to Indonesian and other Southeast Asian cuisines. There are only two other Indonesian restaurants in the entire San Diego area, so we were genuinely looking forward to having another option. Service -- 3/5 Service was okay. The staff could have been a little friendlier, but they did check in to see if we needed anything and whether we were enjoying our food. At the very least, they were attentive. Atmosphere -- 4/5 The restaurant is a decent size with plenty of seating, although the tables are somewhat close together. They also have bar seating. The lighting is pretty dim inside, but that's fairly typical of a lot of restaurants in San Diego. Food we ordered: Grilled Roti -- 3/5 Okay at best. I honestly don't think you can go too wrong with curry and roti, but this was probably the best thing we ordered. Chicken Skewers -- 2.5/5 Decent, but unfortunately, they were far too charred. Instead of that nice, smoky, off-the-grill char, the skewers had an almost burnt taste. They also lacked flavor overall, and the sauce underneath didn't add much to the dish. Pork Belly Skewers -- 2.5/5 Pretty much the same experience as the chicken skewers. When these first came out, we genuinely thought they had been overcooked because of how heavily charred they were. Then the chicken skewers came out looking the same, so I guess that was intentional. Unfortunately, the char overwhelmed the flavor of the pork. Mie Goreng -- 1/5 I would have much preferred a more traditional take on mie goreng. The best way I can describe this is that it tasted like Filipino spaghetti. It was incredibly far removed from what I associate with mie goreng, both in flavor and appearance. We ended up not finishing this dish. Beef Rendang --1/5 Rendang is one of my favorite Indonesian dishes, so this was probably my biggest disappointment. The beef was incredibly bland and tasted like plain, unseasoned meat. There was very little depth of flavor, and I couldn't really taste the richness or aromatics that make a good rendang what it is. Mocktail -- 3/5 I originally wanted to order the pandan mocktail, but as I was still speaking, the server had already started walking away. I ended up with the hibiscus ginger instead, which we ultimately didn't finish. It had a punch in your face kind of flavor. Lol Overall: As much as we wanted to love this place and support another local restaurant, the experience was unfortunately disappointing. I understand that the concept here is fusion, and I'm not opposed to putting a modern spin on traditional dishes. However, I think there's a difference between putting your own creative twist on a cuisine and losing the flavors that make the dishes recognizable in the first place. Given that this place is Michelin Gourmand recognized, I was expecting at least some of those familiar flavors to come through. You would expect to taste the galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and other aromatics and spices that give Indonesian food its distinct depth and complexity. Instead, everything felt toned down several notches. The meats lacked seasoning, the sauces didn't bring much to the table, and the overall flavors just fell flat. I can appreciate that restaurants may want to adjust their dishes to appeal to a broader audience, but I also think there's a balance between making food approachable and taking away what makes it special. We really did want to enjoy our meal, especially considering how limited Indonesian food options are in San Diego. We also try our best not to waste food, so we finished most of what we ordered, with the exception of the mie goreng and mocktail. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience we had hoped for. We wanted another Indonesian restaurant in San Diego that we could genuinely get excited about, but based on this visit, we left feeling underwhelmed.
