I have heard about Lara Djonggrang from a long time ago, people have been saying that it is must visit place if you want to experience authentic Indonesian food. And I just had the chance to visit last month. Since all the hype was positive, I was disappointed at the fact that the food was flat. I ordered the Sate... More

I guess if you're a local Indonesian, Loro Djonggrang does not offer too much to renew your love for Indonesian cuisines. The choice of flavor and seasoning makes most of the place's menus quite ordinary as opposed to the taste we have grown so accustomed to as we grew up. The ambiance and nuance this place has about it, though,... More

I was here for a dinner just last night with my wife.. We were quite excited and came with soo many high expectation knowing that we loved other restaurants owned by the same management (Tugu Hotel) Ambience: The surroundings are beautiful with a very large tree outside and pretty ornaments and candles being put outside. At the inside, interior have... More

The ambiance of Tugu group is very well perceived. They write personal name on a leave, exactly like every Tugu Hotel. The menu, taste, and presentations are great. For every foreigner who come to Jakarta for holiday or Business, this restaurant is worth to try. Come during weekend, and get the surprise to see how the waiters serve your food.... More

Lost on the road to find this restaurant. Well, I love the ambiance, layout, and sure the food. My boyfriend said that finally he found the best Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice). But for me I enjoy my authentic of Indonesian food.

In the old days, Oasis was the place to be if you wanted to treat your guests to a Rijsttafel. Very colonial, very expensive and obtrusive batak singers. But: an experience. And now Lara Djonggrang. The owner knows about antiques, about Java, about atmosphere. He has proven that in Malang in Tuguh Park Hotel. Lara Djonggrang is what Jakarta has... More

Whenever I have guests staying with me for a few days in Jakarta, this is one of the places I will take them to impart a different and unique experience. The decor is antique, with similar items that you might find on Jl. Surabaya, and each room has its own feel. Take a walk through the restaurant before or after... More

This is the only restaurant I went to so I do not have terms of comparison. The place has a lot of traditional flavor, which compensates for the average quality of food. The quantity was also just enough. The banana pancakes in coconut sauce were very good. A beer, a single dish, a dessert and a coffee cost me around... More

Agree with the reviews here. Food was very good and beautifully presented. Satay reaches a new level served in a long wooden boat. Plantain wrapped mushrooms or seafood served over a bed of charcoal stay hot and smell great at the table. The restaurant is very beautiful. Flowers, artwork, and water features very well combined. Night we were there traditional... More
