The first night I had the lontong surakarta - cubes of sticky rice, chicken in a sweet-spicy sauce, vegetables, with toasted coconut and peanuts to sprinkle over it. There was far more food than I could eat, and 14 euro wasn't unreasonable. The second night, I went with a group, and we got the rijsttafel (not sure if it was the 12 or 18-dish version). There was a lot of food - we didn't come close to eating it all - and a good variety of dishes (even the vegetarians got plenty to eat), but I actually liked the lontong surakarta much better. The spekkoek was pretty good, though. The atmosphere isn't great. Tables are packed very close together (such that you often get bumped by a server or someone at another table), and it gets very noisy at dinnertime, since it seems to be a popular restaurant. I ate there the first night around 6pm, and it wasn't a problem finding a table that early. It did seem unusual that I was sitting by myself, though.

This is one of the better restaurants in Leiden!…read more The tables have starters of krupuk (prawn crackers) and a spicy dip which is delicious. Main dishes are pricey, but portions are huge. Two people can easily split one of the chicken dishes since they come with 3 sides as well. I recommend the Ayam Opor Surakarata - super tender pieces of chicken cooked in coconut milk. The vegetables on the side are eggplant, tofu with green beans, and cucumbers. Service was good and we've always been able to walk in without reservations.

However, when we tried this place, I was super surprised! Red Jedjeki was packed on a Wednesday evening. We didn't have reservations, but we were fortunate the sweet lady found a place for us to sit. I must say, this is hands down the best Indonesian food in the world! We ordered the menu for 2 people. A mixture of different dishes. Their side nasi goreng is ok, but everything else we had was so heavenly. I especially enjoyed their beef stew, sprouts with peanut sauce, picked cucumbers and carrots, green beans and boiled egg with a red sauce on top. Now, if you can tell me where else they have Indonesian food like Redjeki's, then please do share and I'll take a trip out there! Thank you guys for an awesome experience. We did have left overs and had it for lunch today. Well done to the lady and gentlemen who worked at Redjeki last night. We had a wonderful experience! It's worth the 5 stars. This is the place to visit if you want to try some Indonesian food in the Netherlands! Plus, Delft is such a cute town!

SAMPURNA highlights its commitment to traditional Indonesian cooking and family recipes and that…read moreauthenticity definitely comes through in the food. The restaurant offers a varied menu inspired by classic Indonesian dishes and promotes a relaxed welcoming atmosphere with the option to request specific dishes in advance including lobster or seafood with prior notice. We were seated without a reservation which was convenient and appreciated. The service was a bit grumpy and not the warmest but still attentive and functional throughout the meal. While the hospitality did not fully match the restaurant's stated philosophy it did not ruin the experience. The food itself was good and satisfying with rich flavors that felt true to Indonesian home style cooking. The rice table in particular looked absolutely delicious and tempting though our group ended up ordering more selectively due to picky eaters at the table. It is definitely something I would want to try on a future visit. Overall SAMPURNA delivers solid Indonesian food and a genuine traditional approach. Despite imperfect service I would return especially to try the rice table next time.

This place absolutely saved my palate after weeks of deep-fried seafood (with mayo), fries (with mayo/peanut sauce and onion), and many hash joints. I still remember I got the nasi goreng and chicken sate, and they were absolutely godsends, especially after a long time of having the flavour I was not the biggest fan of (mayo). I remember I brought a kiwi with me for this meal, and the flavour also blew her mind as she hadn't had anything like this in her own adventure in the Netherlands. Great and relaxing vibe too I'll for sure visit the Netherland again and come to warung mini.

I was staying at the awesome City Hub down the block and decided to check this restaurant out. I went by fellow Yelper Michelle S's recommendation of the Gado Gado and Chicken with noodles. One would think, prices would be high like that of Amsterdam. The portions were big and good value. A lot of locals as well as tourists were here in this Witte de With establishment. I was pretty full after the meal. It was a pretty nice stroll down Witte de Withstraat back to City Hub.

Everything looked amazing, so she helped us narrow down the options. We had a sampling of starters that featured a fish cake, pickled vegetables, pork sate, spring roll and banana leaf wrapped rice roll. We also had a sampling of the satay, that included pork, chicken, lamb and beef. Best satay I've ever had - flavors are perfect and spice amount is just right. For entrees, we had the banana leaf wrapped fish and the lamb dish. Each dish was prepared to perfection with just enough spice to bring out the flavors of the fish and lamb. Service was outstanding! If you are in the mood for the best meal you've had all year, come here.

And actually we should have gone way before today, as the food was great :-) For example for starters, we took amongst other satays. In the Netherlands, a satay is normally some meat which is drown under peanut sauce. Not at all here, those were simply very nice skewers with a gentle touch of different meats and sauces. The steam cooked crab and fish cooked in a banana leave was simply excellent. Then for main some chicken, simple and delicious, and lam, with so many fantastic spices. So this place offers very refined Indonesian food, without the usual heavy food of other "traditional" Indonesian restaurant in the Netherlands. For the service, it's good and efficient, nothing special to say about that one.

We didn't realize how popular De Lachende Javaan is--they were completely fully booked! The owner noticed we were visiting from out of town and was incredibly accommodating. He explained the situation but managed to squeeze us in, provided we could eat relatively quickly before the next reservation arrived. We were so grateful because the meal ended up being fantastic. Since it was our first time trying Indonesian food, we went with the Rijsttafel Biasa (the smallest menu option). It was a variety of small plates served on portable burners to keep everything warm, accompanied by rice. It was the perfect introduction--there wasn't a single dish I didn't love. Even though the plates look small, we were completely full and satisfied by the end. We managed to finish just in time for the reserved party to take the table, so it worked out perfectly.

(As much as I'd hate to group Bloemendaal with Zandvoort) The food is outstanding, especially the rijsttafels, which include a vegetarian one (and Yanie is always willing to make me one with extra peanut sauce items). The best part about Pondok Yanie, in addition to the great food and very relaxing dining area, is the service. I'm not sure I've ever had better service in my life. Even though I only go here once or twice a year when I'm in the country, Yanie always remembers me, knows what foods I like best, and asks about the family, how my life is in the U.S., etc. She also does a great job preparing and wrapping up a big rijsttafel order to go, for if we want to stay in and watch a movie. Pondok Yanie is simply a great place that really deserves the five stars, especially for Yanie herself. And oh, how I miss her food, living in America with no Indonesian restaurants within DAYS from me.
