Great little spot serving authentic Indonesian food. It’s mostly take-out, but there are a few seats if you want to dine in.

The chicken satay was the best tasting meal of my weeklong trip in Victoria. Never had Indonesian food before but can’t wait to try other dishes!

Hands down some of the best food I've ever tasted. I can taste the spices, all the textures, and the love poured out in his masterpiece. I think we got everything on the menu and will definitely be back. Bless up yourself, Ayo.

Rendang was very well seasoned, and the nasi campur was also generous and delicious. Highly recommend for good Indonesian food! The chef is very kind and knows his stuff!

Spicy!!! But so good! This hole-in-the-wall is definitely worth making a visit and waiting for the food. Everything is made to order. I was turned away the first time I tried going as there was a large group that put in a large order. I had to go back to try the beef curry. The beef was less tender than I was expecting however it was incredibly flavourful with a good amount of spice. There were some chips with a dollop of homemade chili sauce. It was spicy but went really well with the coconut milk rice. Note that if you want to eat there, you can sit at the two seats or take the stairs down to the orange tables in the courtyard.

A wonderful little gem tucked into a cool little stall in the corner of Market Square beside the Drake. This place serves up some damn good food. Perfect to take away and sit on the grass or down in the Inner Harbour. The food is delicious and is just the perfect amount of spicy.

Masha Allah, it's delicious and tastes authentically Indonesian, just tried the rendang mixed rice and friends, tried the chicken satay with an authentic Indonesian taste...

I thought the taste of the food had been adapted to suit local people's taste buds, but it turns out ugh...it's authentic, guys...

So those of you who "miss" Indonesian cuisine can be found here, although not all menus from Sabang to Merauke (Nusantara menu) are here, "only a few" but they are enough to represent the true taste of Indonesia.,

Authentic yes 100% - no doubt
Yes, spicy, like in Indonesia

You have to wait about 15 minutes, and that's very normal and that also happens in Indonesia...

This wait is only there to maintain the freshness of the menu you choose..

The wait is worth it, it feels like it never lies..

And For you: Canadian citizen / Visitor from around the world, please enjoy some Authentic Indonesian food here..

The chef is friendly

The location is not in front of the road, enter the alley (see attached video) inside the Market Square...

Type: Mini restaurant
It's specifically for take-out/take-away, but you can eat at the front of the shop for a maximum of 2 people and also at the empty tables downstairs... (because I saw there were customers eating downstairs)

Best indo food I had in BC. Expect a bit of a wait but it's worth it.

This is my favourite spot in Victoria for food and it's not even close. It's just one chef in a small booth serving up fantastic Indonesian cuisine. Food is amazing. Just the right amount of spice, and good serving sizes. Great atmosphere, I love to sit by the booth for a more authentic street food experience. Wait times can be a bit long depending on when you come in and if he's slammed with orders, but I guarantee it's worth the wait. I always get the dish with the hard boiled egg, the nasi campur telor sambal, and usually a side of the chicken satay. Perfect every time.
