    My first Indonesian food that I can remember (yes I have lived in Jakarta but I was little...of…read morecourse I won't remember). The waiter was so excited that we were the first Americans that he's ever seen. He said he always wanted to go to the USA and asked a lot of questions about America. Of course my boyfriend who loves talking to strangers was excited to explain a lot of things and answering all his questions. With this kind waiter, of course our experience was going to be good. This place was highly rated in many tourist sites, and that was one of the reasons why we decided to try. And of course, Indonesia being a former Dutch colony, I thought it would be legit to try Indonesian food, instead of those Argentinian steak house in Amsterdam. I had Nasi Goreng. IT was great. Bintang beer was just like any other pilsner, not as refreshing as Heineken that I had at the Heineken brewery, but I know better than comparing beer from local brewery and beer from another country. Very kind people, good food, good conversation, and easy-to-get location. This is a perfect place for lunch after visiting the Airborne Museum in Arnhem.

It was nice that they allow people to order the rijsttafel for 1, and I saw a number of people doing this. Rijsttafel Authentiek: pisang goreng, sate kambing, sate ayam, ikan mentega, acar ketimun, sambal goreng kentang, gado gado, sayur lodeh, kerang asam manus, terong sambel ijo, ayam rica rica, danging rendang, telor kuning, nasi putih, nasi goreng, krupuk, serundeng, sambal. (They warn you that the sambal is very spicy and it is :)) Everything was delicious-my highlights were the ikan mentega, gado gado, sate, and sambal.

In fact, there's a second-floor dining area that you probably wouldn't notice unless they sit you there. Ordered the following: - Chicken Satay - 10/10: best satay I've ever had. Hands down. The sauce is impeccable. Super savory. No need to dip it in anything. Chicken is moist and tender. Categorized as a side dish, but this really is a main event. Every table was ordering it. - Beef Rendang - 6.8/10: nice flavor. Medium spice. Beef is tender, but I wish they used fattier cuts of meat. Would elevate this dish definitely. - Prawns - 7/10: had some nice heat. Prawns were tender and full of flavor, but kind of small. Dishes came with a variety of small add-ons that's a bit hard to describe. I guess if I had to I'd say it was the equivalent of Korean banchan - an assortment of side dishes like potato strings and veggies. Loved them all. Service was excellent and friendly. Prices are a bit steep, but fair with what you're getting. Definitely recommend!

This seemed to be an inconvenience for the staff, but they ended up letting us sit at a table on the patio. The atmosphere is lovely and peaceful and the decor is beautiful, with many fresh flowers.

You could tell you had arrived because the building itself was a totally different style, the old Dutch School type with a thatched roof, from the surrounding homes. Large. Parking was free, a nice attribute in Holland. The entrance is to your left when you drive through the gates. We were a large group, and we received the "rijst tafel" (rice table) arrangement: super tasty and elaborate and well-prepared. Fresh ingredients, imported Indonesian seasonings, locally sourced. Some seasonings were obviously hand-made, and quite delicious. I believe you have to pre-order this a day or two in advance, as it takes days to prepare some of the dishes. And though I am not an expert on Indonesian foods, I can tell these days that I know more now after the time in Portland spent eating Asian foods. Everything was made in an authentic style with excellent quality ingredients. Starting with a special salad and loempia, we dove in with gusto. The spicy foods were made with tolerable levels, although I stayed away from the dishes with whole peppers in them (logically!). Our group regrouped several times and we shared all dishes, lovely. Dessert consisted of, what else, a heavenly, many layered spice cake. I definitely would come back here.

    If you have time for only one Surinamese meal while visiting Amsterdam, Warung Spang Makandra is a…read moregood choice. The food is excellent, they have English menus for us tourists, they're affordable, and they have a nice beer list and plenty of tables -- making them maybe unique among Surinamese places. It is helpful to make a reservation, but if you didn't ... they have a lot of tables, and many turn over fast, so get in line and wait, you'll get a table eventually. They have a really good selection of vegetarian dishes, so much that you won't feel restricted at all. Spice levels are moderate, so if you're a pepper-head, order some sambal on the side. Do order some of the side dishes; I'm especially fond of the bara and the teloh with salt cod and peanut sauce. Warning, though: Surinamese food uses nuts heavily, so do not go here if you have a nut allergy.

The staff were friendly and courteous, and I would gladly come back next time I'm in Amsterdam. Walked in on a Saturday evening around 7pm as a solo diner and the restaurant was packed. I didn't make reservations so was hoping they could squeeze me in and it was a yes, just had to wait for about 8-10 minutes until the bar area seating cleared up a bit. Score! Seated the menu was presented right away, after about 10 minutes staff asked for my order, I got: - Spang Makandra Special €17.50: this is a plate of several of the house specialities. Fried rice & noodles, braised chicken, grilled chicken satay, stir-fried long beans, egg, potato sambal and perkedel (fried potatoes). So tasty all around! Loooved the braised chicken was done very well, the peanut sauce used for the chicken satay was a bit on the sweeter side. The egg was scrambled (believe this was intentional for this preparation), the flavors were delicious! I can't comment to the authenticity since I'm no expert in Surinamese food though would certainly recommend this dish to all. - Dawet €3.00: if you're familiar with SE Asian shaved ice with palm sugar syrup, the flavor of this drink is reminiscent. While the color is a bright pepto bismol pink, it's mostly coconut milk with a strong flavor of gula malaka. Was on the sweeter side though glad for the coconut milk to balance out the spiciness of the hot sauce. - Beef rendang sandwich €6.50: sooo yummy. Considering the Indonesian and Chinese influences in Surinamese food, I've eaten my share of specifically Malaysian and Indonesian food in those countries and the curry flavors in the sandwich were prominent and super tasty. The spices were quite strong that even wrapped in foil and inside a plastic bag, my entire bag smelled like rendang (in a most moth-watering way lol) after carrying for some hours. The decor was cozy and filled the left side wall with pics of patrons of the past, opposite wall full length mirrors to make the space look larger. Seating enough for about 50-60 probably. Even though they were slammed, staff checked in periodically on how I was doing, refilled water, which indirectly led to an interesting conversation with another solo diner sitting at the bar. Strong recommend!

I was put on a waiting list when I tried to make a reservation the day of and luckily was able to get off the list shortly. The inside has a downstairs and an upstairs.

We were absolutely blown away by how flavorful and delicious everything was!! I would definitely come here again and get the exact same thing.

We were able to get a same-day reservation and were excited to try the food here. We were told before we were seated that we had 90 minutes for our dinner, which wasn't an issue for us as that's more of a norm in the US, but I could see that feeling too rushed for the usual dinner in Europe. Every table was filled and were seated all pretty close to eachother, which added to the level of noise and feeling of a super busy evening. We ordered the tasting menu and the first course was an AMAZING start- probably the best Indonesian dish I've had outside of Indonesia. The main course is where we had more issues - for having 9 different small plates to try, the amount of rice for 4 people was definitely not enough. Some of my friends in the group were also more sensitive to spice, so it would've been nice if there was more consideration to ordering the dishes by spice level or at a minimum letting us know which plates were more spicy. And while there were many to try, most of these dishes were just okay, nothing really stood out. The dessert course was a much larger plate/portion than any of us were expecting, which was a pleasant surprise but the flavors were also just okay to me.
