[2025 Central Jakarta Restaurant] Travel Guide for Remboelan - Grand Indonesia Mall (Updated Mar)

During my visit to Jakarta early this year, my friend brought me to Remboelan. They have several branches in Jakarta and i went to the one in Grand Indonesia. It is said to be one of the most famous restaurant in Jakarta! We had to wait for around 10 minutes as the restaurant was full. The staff was friendly and helpful in helping us getting our table. We ordered their signature ayam penyet, sate ayam, nasi goreng and crispy prawn crackers. The prawn crackers are so huge and the three of us could not finished it. The sate is delicious and sweet, which tasted different compared to sate in Malaysia. Their nasi goreng and ayam penyet are flavourful. #deliciousfood #awesomepic #couplestrip

Very tasty and the price fairly good! Just the Q might reach up to 1hour on dinner time. I waited 30min for my turn. Overall everything is good! 😋

Embarking on an epic morning ritual, I kickstart my day by making a beeline for Grand Indonesia, conveniently a stone's throw away from my hotel. Navigating the vast mall in search of my inaugural Indonesian culinary escapade, I find myself enamored not just by the diverse dining options but also by the formidable security measures. Some may view the security queue akin to an airport hassle, but to me, it's a suspenseful journey where you never know who's standing in line with you. Huhu, the intrigue! Embracing the challenge of navigating through a treasure trove of culinary wonders, I settled on REMBOELAN RESTAURANT after an enticing exploration. The decision was fueled by my unwavering commitment to savoring the diverse tapestry of Indonesian flavors, steering clear of street food cautionary tales shared by well-meaning colleagues. Stepping into the restaurant felt like a journey through time, as its layout exuded an aesthetic charm reminiscent of a historical haven. The menu, a virtual map of Indonesia's culinary landscape, presented a delightful dilemma for a first-timer like me. After a meticulous half-hour, I crafted my feast – KOPI MADU KULIT KAYU MANIS (cinnamon honey coffee), a side of plain rice, the daring CUMI CILI GARAM NUSA PENIDA (spicy squid) with a fiery warning, and the delightful pairing of egg and otak-otak. The culmination of flavors was nothing short of spectacular. Each bite and sip resonated with the rich heritage of Indonesian cuisine, leaving an indelible mark on my taste buds. With a satisfied palate and a promise to return, this gastronomic escapade at REMBOELAN RESTAURANT was just the beginning of my culinary love affair with Indonesia.
