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.

We ordered the basic dinner for 2, which included two types of rice and a dozen small dishes of assorted hot & cold foods to go with them.

I especially liked the shredded cabbage dish (much to my surprise), and my partner particularly liked the sauce on the meatballs and the chicken skewers.

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.

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.

We weren't sure we would make it as we were only in town for the evening and we had just come from 18 hour international travel--extremely jet lagged and feeling delirious. I had no appetite but am very glad we pushed ourselves to go because it was such a treat! Rice table is an Indonesian multi course sampler meal. I'm glad I chose to dine at Aneka Rasa. The inside of the restaurant was romantic with candlelit dining and elaborate decor. €30 per person can seem expensive but we were pleasantly surprised that it's truly €30 total. No tax or tip. Our tap water was also free. When we entered, the owner, Jerry informed us they're only doing rice table (no a la carte dining) and asked us if we want the regular or vegetarian meal. We chose regular. Jerry learned our names and addressed us by them for the rest of the evening. The regular rijsttafel came with chicken sate, soy chicken, beef rendang, curry chicken, veggies, spicy eggs, cucumber salad, fried & white rice, chips. That chicken sate was the best we've ever had! The peanut sauce on it is bomb!!! We've never seen so much peanut sauce on chicken sate-- the chicken skewers were bathing in sauce. The chicken was tender & juicy. I ate up all the leftover sauce with rice. The eggs have a spicy kick so be careful if you have low tolerance. Everything else tasted fresh. We appreciated the variety and being able to savor multiple different things. It was plenty of food for the both of us (and we eat a lot!). We talked to Jerry a bit and he was incredibly kind and welcoming. I appreciated the Christian music played in the background and messages around the restaurant. Highly recommend this restaurant for friendly service, yummy food, and good ambience!
