INDO Restaurant & Lounge reviews
17When you walk in, you can already tell the ambiance of the place is great. It's dark but not too dark, making the vibe more moody. We sat indoors but the roof / outdoor patio looked very cool. I definitely want to set there next time I visit.
Overall, service is good and food is also good.but they double charged us! Luckily we found it.
Food was good and tastes like traditional Indonesian Street food, although could be more flavorful and perhaps warmer (?), not sure if my food was left on the counter for awhile before being served. Restaurant seemed shorthanded on a weekend and thus service staff wasn't able to be more attentive. Nonetheless, everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was really good.
I have no idea how they got so many 5 stars. I eat Indian, Thai and other spiced food daily. Went here on a date with my husband and had high hopes. The wine was mediocre but at $16 a glass
I ordered the spicy chicken basil and spicy coconut rice. Both were ridiculously bland! The curry/ sauce in the basil chicken tasted more like spiced water, and the chicken was poor cuts of meat and basically just boiled. I'm sorry but this was gross, I will not be returning! If you want Indonesian fusion food you're better off going to Straits.
More upscale than I expected, given their description on the web. The food is delicious, with a very comfortable environment. Definitely worth a visit.
Was not the biggest fan of this spot. To start off with some positives, I do have to say that parking is easy to find and the outdoor seating is spacious and pleasant. The problems arise with the prices and dishes. So, my friend and I got 1 entree each, 1 appetizer to share, and 1 drink each. After all the taxes and tips, we ended up paying over $65 each. I'm usually of the mind of "quality over quantity, " but the portions were quite too small and lacking flavor to justify such a high price. Although we were relatively the only ones there when the spot opened at 17: 00, our foods and drinks did take a considerable time to get to our table.
Very friendly and accommodating staff, delicious food, and interesting drinks. The outdoor patio seating is lovely and cozy.
Wow! What a great experience. This restaurant (in COVID times when I have come to expect NOTHING in service) is the opposite of any preconceived expectations. Food AMAZING, but honestly the hospitality (that has been completely abandoned in our world) was indelibly memorable! Thank you for a little throwback to the recent past. Let’s hope we all get back there REAL SOON! Catherine and Dan
The food is excellent and the roti with dipping sauce is drinkable it's so good. Had a variety of small plates and an entree to share among three people. You can't go wrong here. Not our first time and certainly won't be our last. Next visit will be dine in.
My friend took me here for a last-minute dinner and we absolutely loved it. For drinks, we had the Passionfruit Caipirinha and Pamplemousse - both delicious. Then we shared the roti prata, seafood curry and coconut rice - perfect for two people who were moderately hungry. It all tasted divine. The atmosphere is great, really relaxed and casually luxurious. The service was great. It was actually surprisingly affordable (for California prices). Highly recommend this spot for dinner.
I give this my highest recommendation. I love the succulent chicken satay, curry, and short rib. As a meat lover, I was incredibly impressed with the tenderness and flavor from every meat dish I ate here.
I had a take out of the Sambal Tofu with brown rice. Very nice combination of nutty, chewy rice with the fried tofu. Excellent flavor and texture. Will try other dishes in the future
AMAZING!
Every dish was a winner. We had Chilean sea bass, mi goreng, and coconut pudding.
Cocktails are bougie bar material. We had the passion fruit caipirinha and INDOsphere.
Beautiful environment and great service. Can’t wait to go back to try other dishes.
Excellent and attentive service to my table of 9. Delicious food - recommend the roti, mussels, short rib and sea bass. The duck was okay. Be prepared to spend $!
I came here on a Thursday night with a reservation and this place has a super cute ambiance! I liked the covered outdoor seating here and the service was quite fast.
We got the roti which actually was just two pieces that me and my friend split.
We also got the mie goreng noodles which I surprisingly finished though the portion sizes were huge. It was good but nothing too mind blowing.
I thought this place has great value for cost so would come again!
I was never attended in fact I felt very ignored the waiter never took my order and when I asked the other waiter about my order absolutely nothing was done about it. I basically sat there and watched my boss eat in silence. When the original waiter came back he asked my boss and only him if he was ok? Was I invisible? Don’t know if the food was good because I literally wasn’t served anything while being there. I would give it zero stars if I could I have never experienced this in an establishment.
6 of us came for dinner on the patio. The food and cocktails were delicious - everything had a great flavor. Our favorites were the roti prata, nasi goreng, sambal tofu, and the sayur lodeh. The service was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
