“ Fantastic place to eat some very spicy food! Not far from the old part of Chiang Mai (walking distance), but clearly very popular. The beef rendang was awesome and the Indonesian fried chicken was tasty too. Take the time to seek it out! ”
“ After 15 days of Thai food, my buddy and I has to find a way out. This was a very pleasant departure. We had the gado-hado. We needed the veggies. They nailed the peanut sauce and the combo. Absolutely pucka. We ordered a serving of beef rendang. The rumpa was dailed in. The cut of meat needs to be improved. Will try the other stuff on their menu next thing. No regrets. There are Indonesians eating at this place. Kinda gave it the street cred. ”
“ Definitely a hidden gem inside the Old Town area. They have a quite big parking lot, so finding parking is not a problem. The food is worth the price, the portion is very generous, and the taste is incredibly delicious, especially the "Nasi Bakar" and "Chicken Satay". Definitely a must-try restaurant if you travel to Chiang Mai and stay nearby the Old City. ”
“ Have a great Indonesian food in Chiang mai. They serve various kind of Indonesia food. Vegetarian friendly. Nice and friendly owner. Ending our dinner with ice cendol durian, yummy ”
“ Finding an Indonesian restaurant in Chiang Mai was such a pleasant surprise! I've been craving bakso for a long time and was so happy to find it here. The bakso soup was awesome, and the meatballs themselves were great. My friend had the beef and chicken rendang, and they also tasted fantastic! The only thing that wasn't my favorite was the grass jelly drink because it had coconut milk, but that's just a personal preference. I'll definitely be back to try the mee goreng and soto ayam! ”
“ If you’re in Chiang Mai you must check out this place, the food was incredible- potentially the best food I had on my Thailand trip! I can’t even describe how amazing it was, the flavours were so authentic and the portion sizes were very generous. The dining area is nothing fancy but its air conditioned and clean. Staff were super lovely too! ”
