AFTER RELOCATING to a North Keystone storefront in late 2023, this gem was able to spread its wings and offer a full menu of spice-rich dishes from Indonesia’s islands. Classics like long-simmered beef rendang and comforting nasi goreng are complete meals themselves, served with eggs, rice, and fresh garnishes.
But sharing a selection of the country’s savory street snacks is also fun, especially when you start with martabak, a layered omelet served either savory or sweet; dumplings, crispy fried pastel pastries filled with vermicelli and tasty veggies; and battered tempeh mendoan. The bare-bones decor is still taking shape, but the charm comes from the friendly service and the excellent food.
