Went there for lunch today with a friend. I had their nasi campur plate which had several different items with medium-sized portions if you’re able to finish this platter on your own you’re going to want to skip out on dinner later on in the day! When we were finished eating, the owner/cook came out and chatted with my friend about back home (Jakarta). When it was time to go we got our check along with a complimentary dessert, a sponge cake with shredded coconut on top. This...read full review

Wajan is a family-owned restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The food is described as "SUPER, MIND-BLOWINGly Delicious and authentic," with the Nasi Campur with Ayam goreng receiving high praise for its amazing flavors, especially the eggplant with balado chili sauce. Customers found the food awesome and authentic, with some noting it was their first time eating this kind of food. The staff is friendly, very knowledgeable, and thoughtful, with servers more than willing to help out. The restaurant's decor, including the wall paintings, adds to the overall aesthetic appeal, creating a cozy, unique atmosphere.
The restaurant also offers delicious vegan options, such as Bubur and Nasi, with their tempeh having a great marinade. Customers have enjoyed dishes like Martabak Telor Mini, Sayur Nangka, and Udang Balado, finding them delicious, satisfying, and having just the right amount of spice. The flavors are reminiscent of Thai, Burmese, and perhaps a touch of Indian food. However, some customers noted that the food was not as flavorful as they expected for Indonesian cuisine, with the rendang dish lacking in flavor. The presentation is great, but the crackers were stale. The satay and the ayam goreng (fried chicken) were good.
