pretty authentic Indonesian restaurant by my standards, and had really delicious food to share with four people. had the sampler which included lots of different meat varieties, and had the tumpia which was a tasty cheesy appetizer, and the soup was very good, and all the sauces were delicious. delicious. I would recommend getting the Garuda drink which is reminiscent of mango lassi. We shared the migoren and fried rice dish, and had lots of food to spare. had a great time and very wonderfully accommodating and friendly staff who helped us through our messy reservations in take photos of the group. highly recommend!
First time having Indonesian food and I loved it. The tapas were great. It was nice to be able to have a taste of the menu.
Always on the hunt for Indonesian restaurant and this one was pretty good on a few dishes. Got the rijstaffle for two and liked the soup with chili sauce, chicken curry, lamb, beef rendang and the pandans dessert. Love the flavors.
But I always try a gado gado at every Indonesian place and thought this one was too saucey and the sauce lacked depth in flavor. The staff was super sweet and nice!
Java is an authentic Indonesian restaurant in Brooklyn. The food is delicious and the service is always friendly. We ordered chicken satays, fried tempe (soybean cake) and sayur lodeh (vegetable cooked with spice and simmered in coconut milk. We’ve been coming back several times since we took these three photos and we have also tried the Rijsttafel. The taste of food at Java reminds me of home cooked meal back in my childhood in Jakarta. For those who want a true authentic Indonesian meal in Brooklyn, I highly recommend Java. Try to come early when they’re open because the tables fill up very quickly 😊
I have been going to Java ever since I was about 2 years old. My entire family knows the owner well. In my 30 years of going to this restaurant, I have never had a bad meal. Every single meal is delicious, unique, and nostalgic to me. Rafia puts her heart and soul into these dishes. We get a little piece of her home with every bite. I love Java and hopefully, when I have my children we can enjoy a wonderful Indonesian dinner as I have many moons ago.
This place was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing and there were so many great looking food options it was hard to decide. Not only was the food wonderful, but the service was out of this world. The staff was so warm and seemed genuinely glad when we told them that we enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend!
This place has a very friendly and homely feel. It is seemingly the only decent indonesian cuisine kitchen in the area. If you've never experienced Indonesian food and would like to give it a try this is the place to do it. Take my advice and order the tapas (chef tasting menu) which is a combination of 15 plates being served on a warming plate, quite inexpensive, and will easily fill two people. The fried banana dessert is AMAZING!
The sate is unbelievable. The chicken was tender and I was licking the sauce off the plate. The Tumis was also delicious and fully vegetarian. It's quiet and small, but you'll love it guaranteed.
We are familiar with Indonesian food and this has to be the best Indonesian food we've had outside of Indonesia! We had the rijstaafel, which was amazing -- each tasty little dish better than the one before it! We left very full and very happy and the service was warm and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant! We traveled from Long Island to eat here, and it was so worth the trip!
so nice finding this place after being on the hunt for indonesian restaurants here! i ordered the terong balado, which is traditionally eggplant fried in a spicy red sambal balado (fried chili sauce with garlic and onions). the waitress told me that their version was more similar to a sweet, spicy, and sour sauce, which did end up being the case and actually tasted a bit more like saus mentega (brown sauce) in my opinion! however, it was still extremely delicious and tasted close to home. the combination of deep fried eggplant and tofu was fantastic. the service was lovely 🤍 really looking forward to return and try more of the menu :-)))
