    Good food, but absolutely terrible service. Requested one meal without porc and understood from the other waitress we were just being served porc. Please avoid restaurants like this where waitresses are completely ignorant! Same like when people have an allergy and it’s not taken seriously by the staff. Very disappointing experience!

    Overall the Food was great, very nice ambiance, we had a small incident with a waiter but the Management dealt very provisional with it, Accidents can happen...

    Anything but Indonesian food. Very unauthentic & portions were a joke, especially the monkfish dish which was bearly a mouthful… paid £17.95! Overpriced & would not recommend this place . Only good thing was the service.

    The service was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the mixed dishes. The first tastes were delicious but the dishes were sadly all too similar.

    Nice interior but chilly not properly heated, helpful and forthcoming waiters, sadly no dogs allowed , food good but very small portions, would recommend larger tables so that one does not require eating each dish individually. All in all a place I would go to again!

    We were so excited to have Indonesian food on our last day in the Netherlands. We booked the day before while we were in Portugal and we’re so excited! We paid close to $100 euros to travel to and from the airport to go to this restaurant. We were the only people in the restaurant and waited at least 15 minutes to be offered a drink. We were also sat at a table for two in the middle of a section when we could have had an option for a lovely spot and we’re not offered it. The food was good and the service friendly but not attentive.

    Really good restaurant in the city of Haarlem. We really enjoyed the Indonesian dishes. And the location that's was formally a bank gave something extra.

    First time we have eaten here and my wife and I both had the Rijsttafel (rice dishes) which consisted of fourteen small sharing dishes. All of them were really tasty and not overly spiced. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Haarlem.

    The waiter kept on forgetting about us. After we got the table we waited for 10 min- no one saw us. We finally got attention of someone to order wine and water and got the chips you usually get when arriving. The evening continued like this. Our designated waiter just never saw us. One very nice other waiter kept on seeing that and took our orders but the other one just did not see it. Amazing how you can work at a restaurant and not check on tables when walking around. Even for desert we were forgotten again. We got the menu but then no one took our order. So in the end we didn’t take desert. Food was good. But service... come on. Check your tables! It’s not fun if you try to catch the waiters attention the whole night...
