Samara Kitchen

As with other reviews, the place is small but it is only run by two people (I assume husband and wife) Very sweet couple. They do all the cooking, all the cleaning and all the service! Wait time for a place like this is absolutely understandable. The food was like regular home cooked Indo food. I'm impressed they keep such a large menu of Indo dishes. That's not easy to maintain for a cuisine not many people know. Reasonably priced. More than fair portions. Its not a fancy dine in place, so do not expect side table service. Overall a good experience.

Absolutely delicious!! What I would tell everyone to order would be their skewers. The juiciest skewers I’ve ever had and the best peanut sauce I’ve ever had. The sauce doesn’t over power the skewer and if you just want to enjoy the sauce, there are rice cakes that come with it that are nice and doughy. The Tongseng curry was so flavourful! I ate almost all of my rice with just putting the curry onto it. Will steam some rice at home to eat the rest of the remaining curry. The fried chicken was nice and crunchy! We picked it clean. We were recommended a Cendol, a coconut drink, and if you like sweet and coconut flavours, you will adore this drink! We will be looking forward to coming back :)

You can dine-in but it has limited capacity. Around 10 seats available. The variety of Indonesian food they offer, on the other hand, is plenty. Soups, noodles, rice dishes, appetizers. We ordered Soto Betawi, Nasi Uduk (Indonesian version of Nasi Lemak) with fried chicken (you'll get fried tofu and stir fried soun with the meal), Batagor and Mie Tek Tek. The Batagor is awesome. We love it. It has peanut sauce poured over it. The fried chicken is perfect. As well as their nasi uduk and fried tempeh. The Mie TekTek and Soto Betawi are so so. Overall, it is a pleasant experience. Their cuisine has the Indonesian aura all over. So it would be a great place to satisfy your craving for Indonesian dishes.

This tiny place is a hidden gem that foodies need to discover! The down-to-earth owners cook up some authentic Indonesian cuisine with a full body of flavors familiar to those who know this type of food. The chef will suggests off-menu and limited offerings everytime you come in (like the delicious Murtabak). The rendang is really well made and their Indo mi goreng is a must try. I'm going to be a regular here for sure!

Hey! Congrats for the new place. Inside the Newin Mall. Many seats available now good for chit chat.. all the best

Comfortable and cozy place serving home cooked Indonesian food. Ordered the Chicken Samara Nasi Padang with a side of tempe bacem. The Padang was fragrant and delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly, it was more than enough food for a meal and the price was fair. The tempe bacem was delicious, but it is so rich I could have had it as a meal on its own. Staff are friendly, seating is minimal as the space is rather small due to the large kitchen in the back. The food still makes great take out and they sell some Indonesian snacks and coffee by the counter that look delicious.

Amazing food, tastes just like the food you get in Indonesia. Lots of variety, and the people are very kind and nice. Good service! Their nasi rendang and sop buntut is exceptionally delicious. Also ordered the bakso rudal for take out, it’s HUGE but it tastes amazing!
