The food it self was quite ok. The dessert, even trying second time was bed. Dry and an horrible taste. I really don't recommend, if that was a best Indonesian food representation, I will never have again.
Was.looking for a halal restaurant in Soho and came across Nusa Dua. I cam honestly say at first I was a bit sceptical as it didn't look very welcoming. To my surprise the food was delicious.My friend and I decided to go for the set menu. This was a 3 course meal. For £25 you get soup, spring rolls, a variety of dishes, rice, and dessert plus a drink. We were served by yuhanis not sure if I spelt that right He was very welcoming and very helpful. I can't wait to visit again. If you are looking for a good night, eat as much as you like then I highly recommend you visit.
I’ve been here twice now over the last 2 years and it’s not been ideal either time. Something about the food if a bit off in terms of flavour. I’ve tried multiple dishes and it’s just not that great but there are some highlights such as them having a lot of options to choose from and that they also serve halal. I give it three stars because on our last visit, my friend sent back the chicken dish as the chicken was definitely not fresh. They replaced it with a different dish. We let them choose any replacement as long as the meat was fresh so she swapped it with a beef version which was fresh. I just don’t know why that had to happen to begin with. Chicken is a cheap protein, and for the price you pay you would expect them to cook it when you order it. I’m not sure if I’ll come here again but I’ll be sure to pick carefully if I do.
Stay clear of this restaurant. My group ordered 3 dishes. Nasi goreng for £12.80 which was only as big as my rather small hand, Ayam sambal sambal chicken for £18.80, and Sop Buntut for £18.80 ox tail soup. The fried rice was bland and not even Indonesian. Rather it's Chinese, and I don't think the Chinese would call this a plate of fried rice either. The Ayam sambal should be called Chicken with chili oil. This is not the ayam sambal that I have always known. Practically, this mis-labelled dish is a blasphemy to Indonesian cuisine. Finally, the sop buntut was okay, I guess.. I have never had an Indonesian sop buntut before. So, I cannot comment much. Nonetheless, the ox tail soup was uninspiring to the bland side. For context, I came here during Christmas day 2022 and this was the only restaurant without long queue around the area. This should be a signal for a bad restaurant. But, we gave them a chance and tried dining in anyways. When seated, we were given a special menu for Christmas. Understandably, the prices was marked up to the moon. However, reading the other reviews in hindsight, the prices was horrendously expensive to begin with. On top of that, we still need to pay £6.3 for the service charge, a daylight robbery considering the service we got.
It was one of my favorite spots to have hotpot however the venue needs a renewal. The chili chicken broth used to be so flavorful but now it’s just okay. The toilet was absolutely horrible. Taps were out of order and the toilets were so dirty. One of the lady literally wee on the floorthere was a puddle on the floor, when I walked into it. Nobody cleaned it for the second time I had used.
Awful. Avoid. Starter was all from frozen.... fried chicken was awful, spring rolls was from a packet. Main was disgraceful no fish or chicken in sight. Still had to pay for starter..... and service was completely unapologetic. Nearly ruined our night!!!!
I went to this Indonesia Restaurant to have Mee Bakso on the 8/2/2022 Tuesday with my friends.Delicious Mee Bakso and many more. Love to have more dishes. But because it was quite a late night. We just ordered a few. Definitely worth to be back again. Thanks for your lovely service
Random visit to Nusa Dua after feeling hungry and it wasn't a disappointment! The starters were pretty standard but peanut sauce on the chicken skewers did the job. For mains, we got javanese style lamb chops and a rendang curry can't remember the name but it was so aromatic! alongside some egg fried rice and Indonesian chilli chips. The mains were amazing, however the chips were very underwhelming. Just a bowl of fried fries with dry flakes of seasoning on them. The sweet ice tea was lovely and overall, would go again
Avoid going there on weekend!!!! It's a disaster. The food was not bad but the service was extremely awful. Never in my life had waited for service for such a long time. Each time we called for a waiter we would need to wait for at least 15 mins. Worst of all, we need to talk to different waiter/waitress each time because they never came back to us. We waited for at least 20 mins to order our food. The dishes was served quite fast but they forgot a bowl of plain rice. Eventually we waited for almost an hour for that bowl of rice to be served. Of course when we finished our meal we waited for another 20 mins to get our bill -and they even dared to charge a service fee. They took it off after I complained, but generally the experience was so bad that I wouldn't want to come back again.
Actually, there is a Chinese hot pot inside called Xi Yang Yang Joy Luck, they do all you can eat hot pot for £25.5 per person. Compared to other hot pot place, here has more broth options, also they have side dishes such as BBQ chicken carcass normally costs £5 each at other restaurants and braised dishes normally costs £10 per plate , both are included in the all you can eat menu. Drinks are a little bit pricey, if you order hot pot+2 drinks will be around £37 per person. Still a good deal.
