The menu is Indonesian, with cold and hot dishes. Gado gado is a favourite, served with prawn crackers on a green leaf-shaped plate. Fried duck comes with steamed rice and sambal on the side. Portions are generous, and most meals fall in the $20–40 range. One diner said the chef cooked a gluten-free chicken fried rice for them, so it is worth asking the staff about gluten-free dishes.
