Srikandi is a small but authentic Indonesian restaurant that offers traditional Rijsttafel. The decor is beautiful, and the food is delicious! The soup and rendang were our favorites. With so many options in Amsterdam, I feel Srikandi stands out. read more

Srikandi - Rijsttafel, 13 dishes - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

When in Amsterdam, Dutch Indonesian food is a MUST! We really enjoyed this restaurant. Service by Resa was exceptional. We highly recommend the Rijstaffel. So many delicious dishes to taste. The turmeric rice is a tasty base and we really liked the sweet & sour pickle garnish. Dessert was a traditional layer cake. It wasn't too sweet. Just perfect. We had a lovely seat by the window. The atmosphere was perfect! read more

Got the lamb curry which was so flavorful! The meat was also extremely tender! The yellow rice was also good and had a nice amount of garlic in it! Staff were really nice and attentive! We had no issues getting a table on Saturday night! read more

Had the vegetarian Rijstaffel. Very well presented, with efficient service, and choice of food was creative and diverse (e.g., first time seeing tempeh skewers!). The art and the wood paneling are beautiful and lend great atmosphere to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was very sweet, including the rice and curries. Perhaps this is a modification for the Dutch palate, but coming from an Asian American perspective, everything was sweet to the point of being saccharine, with the exception of a very salty appetizer soup. read more

Cute little Indonesian place in Central Amsterdam. Came here last month because I was cravin rijstaffel. Not many places in Amsterdam serve rijstaffel for 1 person, but Srikandi allowed me to do the rijstaffel for just me! I ordered the middle-priced rijstaffel because it included soto ayam (one of my favorite soups). Food was pretty standard Indonesian fare - including favorites like gado gado, rendang and chicken satay which were all very delicious (and some spicy). There were some items that I didn't recognize but I enjoyed them all. Reminded me of the Indonesian food I've had in Jogjakarta and Jakarta. Overall a great experience with good service and makanan sedap (yum food!). Hope to be back next time I'm in Amsterdam. read more

Impressive! Cute interior with nice art. The staff were very polite, gracious, and helpful.But I'm here to talk about the rijstafel (sp?) -- outstanding! So many wonderful flavors, so well cooked, so much nice attention to details, so well explained. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our favorites were the amazing soups to start, and the spicy chicken. And the cake at the end -- sweet but not too sweet, not heavy but not too light... yum. I'd go back here in a minute. read more

Very good Indonesian Off the museumplein. Indonesia was once under dutch rule so you will find it around the Netherlands. Yellow rice is delicious with coconut and curry. I had rack of lamb and she had spicy chicken. Inexpensive as fine dining goes. Service is fast and helpful. Family run so the owners are taking orders and serving. The dining room is lovely with large windows for people watching and traditional decor. We've come here on two separate visits to Amsterdam. For first timers try the tasting menu. read more

Great restaurant not far from the Rjiks Museum. We ordered the Rijsttafel and loved it. Highly recommend. read more

I planned to dine solo, but by chance, I met a friendly couple outside the restaurant. They invited me to eat with them and shared my desire for rijstaffel! Normally, that meal is too much for one person, but it was perfect for three of us -my favorite dishes are the redang and there were at least two, one spicy, one mild. There was also a lovely variety of vegetable dishes, satay and a nice little dessert of ice cream and many layered cake. Price per person was about €35. An excellent meal at that price. The restaurant is in a very old building, and therefore not handicapped accessible. The owner and staff are most pleasant -overall a wonderful dining experience.. read more

OUTSTANDING!!! My wife & I had a rice table for two. Best ever! And the service was prompt & courteous. This is an under-appreciated gem waiting to take its place among the best Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam. Check it out! read more

Wonderful Rijsttafel! We ordered the small rijsttagel. Everything was delicious. The vegetables were very flavorful. Both the mild & spicy beef were tender and savory.

I've never had Indonesian food but my husband loves it. OMGoodness! I hope all Indonesian food is this delicious! Every course was tasty and the pinda sauce (like a peanut sauce) was the best thing I could've had in my chicken. I had Nasi Goreng which is fried egg noodles and I was full almost half way through. Dine here. You won't be sorry. read more

Boy that stuff was hot and made my eyes water. Overall great experience and super nce staff. The chef stopped by to say hello as well. He was super friendly and very nice. read more

Srikandi - This is a chicken preparation. Forgot the name! - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

The staff and place was really nice and they were really accommodating with a us having a baby with a stroller but we thought the food was just okay. We got the gastronomic meal set and the lamb set. Definitely a lot of food but we only liked a few of the dishes. Nothing really stood out to us. The soup, appetizer, and dessert were probably my favorite part of the meal. The toilet is downstairs and the steps are steep but there is a ledge on the toilet to change the baby's diapers if need to! read more

Visiting from US and traveling solo. Walked in on a Sunday night with no reservation and they had no issue seating me. As seems to be the norm in Amsterdam, you awkwardly sit at the table for a quite awhile waiting to order but once you do, food comes out super fast. Got the prix fixe duck meal and it was quite good. If I had more people I would have def gone for the Rijsttafel; it looked amazing and fun. Meal plus beer was under 40 euros, so not outrageous. read more

Srikandi - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

We arrived at 8, ordered a rice table for 3...easy enough...but our first dish wasn't served until 9. I wasn't that hungry when I showed up but was famished by the time the food arrived so I guess the hour long wait was a good thing?!?! The food was tasty. They have free wifi. The seating downstairs can get a bit crowded and I wasn't a fan of how many of the tables were left with dirty dishes still on the table. Maybe it was an off night but with all the Indonesian options in the city I will most likely not be back. read more

I wasn't sure if they would go through the trouble of a full rijsttafel meal for a solo diner but they did and they certainly delivered! the food was great. there was way too much food and i felt bad that i only finished about 1/2 of it but i did try everything. the owner is very nice. we had some good conversations about random stuff. he has been in the netherlands for 30 years. i made a reservation via their website (email) and they promptly responded the next day confirming my reservation. that's always nice to see. i think it might have been a slow night because there was only 1 other person in the restaurant when i was dining. read more

Came here after the evening Blue Boat cruise without a reservation. They were quite busy but found me a table promptly. Ordered the "Meat Lovers" combination which was "crispy pancakes with meat stuffing" (something like Chinese fried won ton), a sort of stewed beef dish with mixed vegetables, and a dessert of fruit and ice cream. All the dishes came out promptly and were quite tasty. The beef was spicy enough to be interesting although perhaps toned down a bit from what Indonesians would expect. The dining room is quiet and comfortable and the service was attentive. Altogether the dinner and 1/2 L of house wine cost 42 euros. read more

Srikandi - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Stopped in for a quick dinner on our way out and about in Amsterdam, and this place is very cute. However, I'm not familiar with Indonesian food in general, so keep that in mind as you read this review. Anyway, we came for a sit down dinner inside. Staff super friendly, food is very good. We tried their fried chicken with vegetables (menu said "highly recommended", it was very cute). The chicken definitely did melt in your mouth. We also got a side of yellow rice as it didn't come with it, but it was delicious as well. It was definitely a different type of taste, but I did enjoy my meal. read more

Enjoyed this delightful restaurant with my husband last night! The rijsttafel special was a perfect way to end our busy day of sight seeing in Amsterdam. More than 14 different samplings with white and fried rice, including appetizer and dessert. The server was friendly and helpful. Thanks for the reviews, fellow Yelpers! read more

Upon our arrival in Amsterdam, we needed an early dinner near our hotel, and had not made reservations so we just wandered out into the street. We just "happened upon" this quaint restaurant, and our entire group of 8 was glad we did. (Age range from 15-76) The owners were extremely patient and kind. It was clear they weren't accustomed to such a large group at once, but they accommodated us without question. The entire meal was delicious, and we there was plenty of it. (We all ordered a dish, but could have easily shared between entrees.) We all wished we had more room, and/or the ability to take home our leftovers. It was all super good! I am glad that we supported these hardworking and talented owners in their business endeavor, and we all hope that they're restaurant has many years of continued success. read more

Wow! Absolutely outstanding meal. Authentic, flavorful and a gastronomic treat. The "Rijsttafel (rice plate)" options are a fantastic way to sample the many different dishes. Everything was delightfully prepared. We will return here for sure. read more

We were promptly seated without reservations for our last dinner in Amsterdam. We ordered the 17 plate rice table. Good thing we were starving! The host/server was really nice. He even gave me an extra serving of the sweet pickled carrot/onion dish. There's an upstairs and the main floor is cozy. The servers were really attentive. The food had great flavor and this place was within walking distance from our hotel. Fellow Yelpers did not disappoint. I'd recommend this place to anyone staying near the museum district and craving Indonesian food. read more

Atmosphere is nice but food is wildly overpriced. My dinner was basically chicken nuggets with white rice and some peanut sauce for $20. The chicken was hard like it had been fried too long. And only three tablespoons of sauce. Skimpy. The service was mediocre. Didnt refill my tea water, and didnt ask if I wanted dessert. Just packaged my leftovers and brought the check. I ate at blue spoon last night and had impeccable service and scallops for $25 and it was amazing!!!! Go there! read more

Great location, close to Hard Rock Cafe Menu is authentic and your food is a lot more refined than you find in a Chinese Restaurant that serves Indonesian food The spices used are well balanced and flavorful Try it out, you will not be disappointed read more

Had a great dinner here; we went for the 14 dish "special", and found several dishes that had flavor combinations that surprised us... In a good way, of course. Downstairs was not very busy and the service was quite nice. The dinners were €30/pp, so it wasn't an inexpensive total, but worth it. read more

First Indonesian food experience and pleasantly surprised...forgot the name of the dish but its the 13 small variety plates, really good:)

We decided to have dinner at this place. Compared to the upscale and expensive hotels in the museum quarter area of Amsterdam,this restaurant was quite reasonable.The place is well decorated with paintings.Coming to the food- we had ordered Soto Ayam- which is an authentic Indonesian chicken soup with eggs and vegetables, for the mains- Ayam Panggang Kemangi which is Chicken cooked in Madurese sauce and finally as a side-Nasi Goreng Special which is a mixed fried rice with lots of mushrooms,eggs and prawns. All the food tasted good,but the amount was very less to share between two people. read more

The rice plate was amazing. More than enough for two people to share. The service was on part despite the fact a large party was going on at the same time. read more

The waiter was very sweet but needs to work his rapport with the public. He was only two months into his waitership with this restaurant. The order of the 17 Indonesian appetizer plate was 36,95/pp (no sharing) was not a good experience. Plus my friend had to order an entree of prawns that were of a inferior size and poorly cooked. I felt like the regular chef was off and that there was a non-experienced chef at the helm. The presentation was inferior and food disappointing. After finding out from the waiter that the regular chef was, in fact not on his shift it confirmed my suspicion. The dessert was fried banana with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. The banana was burned and the waiter did not take the burnt dessert off the check because his boss or owner was not there to adjust the price. The waiter had no authority to do anything. We got royally screwed, just remember this was our experience and we hope yours will be better. read more

We came as a large group without any dinner reservations having both vegetarian and gluten-free needs and they accommodated us beautifully. Our server and his service was delightful. The food was abundant and plentiful. Everyone said it was the best Indonesian food they'd ever eaten. If I was living in Amsterdam I would likely eat here often. read more

Awesome. Simply flavorful. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent service. Be sure to make a reservation. Be sure to include Chocken Satay and Beef Satay in whatever you get. The peanut sauce is sweet and filled with flavor. read more

We had the typical "Rijst Tafel" and it was very good. Different small portions of meat, chicken and veggie, cooked very good, some with coconut milk and some with pinda sauce. It may be too much food for two. The service was good. read more

Nice people and good service. At that time a lot of Indonesian travellers/ guests eating in shifts of half an hour. Food was reasonable a bit over cooked (by microwave??). read more

Same thing in the rice table over and over and not very good quality. Similar sauces. One of worst meals I've had

Had a wonderful meal. I wasn't sure if I would like Indonesian food but I was on vacation and decided to give it a try and I am glad I did so. We went with the Rijsttafel Gastronomic Special which had 20 dishes. I figured I had to find something out of 20 dishes that I would like and to my pleasant surprise i enjoyed almost all of them. The cost was $37.50 per person and well worth it. They have other rijsttafel's that cost only $25.15 per person and serve 13 dishes. I never knew that I liked vegetables in coconut milk, fantastic and the lamb was super tender. What impressed me was the attention we received, and you could tell that they were proud of their food and wanted to make sure you enjoyed it. The satay had a little too much peanut sauce on it for my liking but I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. if you haven't tried Indonesian food before or even if you have, I do recommend this place. read more
