We ended up ordering the "Rijsttafel Besar" which took a little long to prepare but the dishes seemed never ending with the amount of food we got. I don't remember all of the Indonesian names for the dishes but of course we got the chicken and beef satay with the peanut butter sauce, the fried bananas, beef rendang, fried rice, nasi rawon, sayur asem (soup), etc. I would say there were about 10-15 different items to try and enough for our large group. Everything tasted delicious and so glad I had Indonesian food on my last night while visiting Holland. We don't have many Indonesian restaurant where I'm from in California so this was definitely a treat!

Kartika serves good Indonesian rijsttafel (multi-dish sampler of spicy meats, vegetables, rice, and…read morenoodles). I don't have Indonesian food where I live, so was excited to try this in Amsterdam. I thought the dishes were all flavorful and gave a good mix of meat, vegetable, and rice dishes. The individual servings were small, but filling enough because of the heavy coconut milk used in most dishes. 1 star off: The attitude of the waitstaff was abysmal. First of all, their website does not offer reservations and they rarely answer their phones. So my family and I arrived at restaurant opening to get a table. The first thing they said to us was "Do you have a reservation? If you don't, I can only give you a table if you get out by 6:30PM." in a stern way. We said okay. The group that came after me also raised the issue that no one at the restaurant answers their phone for reservations. The waitstaff did not respond to that, but begrudging seated them. 1 star off: While we were ordering food, the waitstaff noticed that my son had a water bottle with him, and proceeded to give him a lecture that water bottles are not allowed and that we have to order water from them. He is a teenager...he does not know he was supposed to conceal his water bottle at this restaurant. We all ordered drinks, including water, but the experience left my family feeling unwelcomed.

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.

What a gem! If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food and are near Centraal, this is the…read moreplace to go-- the food is incredible, the restaurant is lovely and clean, and the service is very kind. Most of the reviews here are talking about rice tables, where you get small portions of 10 different dishes to share and try; if you haven't had Indonesian food before or are looking for a sampler to eat a lot of favorites, this is certainly the way to go! If you're looking for a more substantial portion of your favorite dish, though, they also have full sized portions of favorites! Highly recommend: rendang Padang, gado gado, nasi goreng, or Soto ayam. If you're feeling like you want some crunch, don't miss out out on their chips! They're not on the menu, but at the front counter where you order they also have bags of emping (seed crackers) and krupuk (shrimp crackers) for sale. Dip or munch into these alongside your meal. Yum! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Amsterdam.

A coworker brought us here on a past visit to Amsterdam - and Ron Gastrobar Indonesia is now on my recurring must stop list anytime I'm in Amsterdam. The food is nothing short of amazing.

Personally, I like coming with a group in order to be able sample everything although they have sampler options with small servings. The decor is trendy and the atmosphere is upbeat. The service is amazing and the staff goes of their wait to offer their recommendations. Highly recommend!!!

The spice level was lower We had the 15 dish (angus) that adds fish and a beef. We had not had fish in other restaurant's versions. Our favorites were goat satay, anything with peanut sauce, anis beef, tofu and cabbage in soy. The egg dish which is customary was better here-- egg not over cooked or soaked. Also came with fried banana which was yummy Desserts were so interesting looking we had to try one. Wow. Chocolate mousse balanced with the brown sugar syrup ( molasses flavor) and soursop sorbet. Really balanced nicely and visually lovely. 2 gendered bathrooms are clean but pretty narrow. This is outside of town. Uber about 20 euros. Could also get here by public transport.

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.
