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!

Ordered the rijstaffel (rice table) which allowed us to try all sorts of dishes. It was quite filling. Flavors were strong and several dishes were quite too salty for us, just FYI. Particularly liked the different meat curries. Enjoyed the cucumber since it was a refreshing contrast to everything else. Service was kind and we didn't have to wait too long for food considering how busy it was! Great to try if you don't have much exposure to Indonesian food back home.

Nevertheless they allowed us to quickly eat something before the place was full. We got 1.5 hours since our spot was actually reserved. Man, that food is great. No wonder they are in the Michelin Guide! We really enjoyed everything we've tried and come back another time to eat more (careful, they actually serve A LOT). If you are into Indo food, do not hesitate to go to this family owned restaurant, I repeat; do not hesitate to go. Amen.

Ditto Michael C. As…read morehe suggested, and despite the 3.5 hour duration (would've been longer had we not asked to order and later for the check), we do owe him one.

Thanks for the thorough and accurate review, Michael.

Bussum may not be the first place you consider to have proper Indonesian food, but this one is definitely worth going to!

We ordered an Indonesian Rice Table for one, and an extra portion of chicken sate (peanut sauce chicken). All the 11 dishes of the rice table were presented well but unfortunately the taste was rather bland. Not spicy as we requested. The fish was not great, the green beans with chili was excellent, chicken was tender but the beef was bland and chewy/ the shrimp was the only dish with some chili spice to it. Service was friendly but slow. It was busy and we made reservations, which was good since the whole place was packed. The restaurant itself looks good and the price is as expected for a rice-table.

We chose Nasi Rames (rice, Beef rendang, tofu, egg, bean/cabbage,chicken curry) and we were not disappointed with any of the dishes.

The food is really well priced as proof by the constant flow of customers coming and going. A great change from fries and mayonnaise in Utrecht!

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.
