Excellent food. Nice for group snacks and drinks. Went for dinner and drinks for a group of about 12 colleagues. We shared small plates (tapas style). Servers were attentive. Place is tight so reservations are a good idea.

We (a couple) arrived Friday night without a reservation. It was a 45 minute wait for a table and we were starving, so we opted to sit at the counter in the front and were served immediately by the very nice and accommodating wait staff. Shared a seafood fish rijsttafel, which was fantastic.

It is best to book in advance as this little restaurant is often crowded. The room is rather small and the idea is to pack as many customers as possible (so forget romantic dinner). Service isacceptable but not that great. We waited quite a long time to get served but on the other hand we ordered lots of dishes. We... More

Small, well designed trendy restaurant with excellent service from start to finish. We ordered one set meat dinner between two and 15 minutes later the dishes start coming out. A superb selection of cold dishes and salads followed by all sorts of sates, curries and more. All fresh tasting and beautifully made, we had enough for both of us. A... More

One of our favorite places is Utrecht. Great food with a lot of variety. Reservation is a must, always full. Online reservation is easy. Definitely a must!

Food is really nice, service is perfect, the venue is very modern though warm and cozy ! Make sure you reserve your table because it is very popular, the street where it is located has lots of nice cafe's where you can have a drink before or after !

After finding out that this is the 2nd best restaurant in Utrecht we had our hopes high. Their staff seems unprepared which resulted in poor service from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. We had a reservation which seemed to be missing from their register. It was eventually found with the cooperation of another staff member and we managed... More

We went here with a group of 6 colleagues. It was a busy night, but we were served fast, and the service was friendly. All of us liked the food (or most of it; it was the rijsttafel, so it consisted of many ingredients). The difficult thing with such a buffet is to restrain yourself from not eating too much,... More

Went there because of the great reviews and was generally disappointed. I have been to quite a number of Indonesian restaurants in Holland and this was supposed to be one of the best. To start with they insist on taking reservation only fo rtwo shifts so you eithe rarrive between 1830and 1900 or at 2100 but then as they get... More
