Authentic Indonesian food where the flavours dance off your plate and onto your tongue. Fresh, vibrant and beer on tap. Not a skerrick of Dutch influence in the kitchen. Lots of side dishes to try and sample

Satay was so great here. It was soft and spread apart like it was slow cooked but still had the grilled flavor as well. Really a treat. We had a rijsttafel which was great. Some of the dishes were most likely prepared and not fresh. But everything was still very nice. It is a very competitive scene for Indonesian food in den haag and this is a great place to get some very tasty Indo food.
