What a gem! If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food and are near Centraal, this is the place to go-- the food is incredible, the restaurant is lovely and clean, and the service is very kind. Most of the reviews here are talking about rice tables, where you get small portions of 10 different dishes to share and try; if you haven't had Indonesian food before or are looking for a sampler to eat a lot of favorites, this is certainly the way to go! If you're looking for a more substantial portion of your favorite dish, though, they also have full sized portions of favorites! Highly recommend: rendang Padang, gado gado, nasi goreng, or Soto ayam. If you're feeling like you want some crunch, don't miss out out on their chips! They're not on the menu, but at the front counter where you order they also have bags of emping (seed crackers) and krupuk (shrimp crackers) for sale. Dip or munch into these alongside your meal. Yum! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Amsterdam. read more

Really enjoyed this family run establishment. Authentic Indonesian food (though the spice level was clearly moderated for local palates) in a very vibrant part of Amsterdam. Their young son worked the front of the restaurant - so polite, focused on the customers and putting forth his best effort. When in town, we won't hesitate to return. read more

Service was friendly, the dishes lacked for our party. Shrimp presented very nicely until you had a bite which was a disappointment. Hard chewy. Mentioned it and was told maybe they overcooked!? My guess was they were frozen for a while. Our guest was disappointed with her chicken based meal. I had the spicy chicken and it delivered, I liked, the vegetable was a placeholder. We went on a review and regretted not looking at more reviews. The meal wasn't as special as we hoped. read more

My coworker told me that when I travel to Amsterdam I have to try rijsttafel (rice table) which is unique to Amsterdam due to the Indonesian influence. We weren't sure we would make it as we were only in town for the evening and we had just come from 18 hour international travel--extremely jet lagged and feeling delirious. I had no appetite but am very glad we pushed ourselves to go because it was such a treat! Rice table is an Indonesian multi course sampler meal. I'm glad I chose to dine at Aneka Rasa. The inside of the restaurant was romantic with candlelit dining and elaborate decor. €30 per person can seem expensive but we were pleasantly surprised that it's truly €30 total. No tax or tip. Our tap water was also free. When we entered, the owner, Jerry informed us they're only doing rice table (no a la carte dining) and asked us if we want the regular or vegetarian meal. We chose regular. Jerry learned our names and addressed us by them for the rest of the evening. The regular rijsttafel came with chicken sate, soy chicken, beef rendang, curry chicken, veggies, spicy eggs, cucumber salad, fried & white rice, chips. That chicken sate was the best we've ever had! The peanut sauce on it is bomb!!! We've never seen so much peanut sauce on chicken sate-- the chicken skewers were bathing in sauce. The chicken was tender & juicy. I ate up all the leftover sauce with rice. The eggs have a spicy kick so be careful if you have low tolerance. Everything else tasted fresh. We appreciated the variety and being able to savor multiple different things. It was plenty of food for the both of us (and we eat a lot!). We talked to Jerry a bit and he was incredibly kind and welcoming. I appreciated the Christian music played in the background and messages around the restaurant. Highly recommend this restaurant for friendly service, yummy food, and good ambience! read more

We were told that we needed to get the Rice Table Dinner at an Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam and this was what a local recommended as the closest option to the train station. We were greeted by the friendliest man when we walked in and placed our order at the counter before finding a table. Only some tables have the heated stands to support the rice table dinner, so that's why you order first in case you just want an entree instead. The owner asks everyone's name and calls you by your name throughout the entire meal, truly impressive. There were probably 9 tables full when we were leaving and he was still calling everyone by their name, even though we just met him. The rice table was a great way to try a variety of options ranging in different spice levels. I was hoping for more intense flavors in some of them, but nothing was bad. The portions of each dish are small but we left full! We would definitely come back. read more

Aneka Rasa - Rice Table - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

What a great experience at Aneka Rasa with authentic Indonesian food, great service and nice atmosphere!! This was an absolute highlight of our trip to Amsterdam for sure!! This was our last day in Amsterdam and we definitely wanted to try Indonesian food. We were in the central station area after having visited the Van Gogh Rembrandt experience over at the Noorderkerk church. We found this on Yelp (yay!) and made our way over and luckily we're able to get a table immediately! Jerry was very friendly and asked our names and explained the menu to us. Essentially they have the sampler menu with or without meat and they also have an a la carte menu. We chose the sampler with meat. I really liked the decor - the far wall has a beautiful mural painted on it and the plants and foliage inside make it feel like an outdoor setting. Lots of light too! The food came out pretty quickly and as you can see in the photos there was a large variety of meat (chicken, beef) and vegetable dishes. Also came with a side of white and fried rice. I really enjoyed the curry chicken dish and the vegetable dishes and the boiled egg. Very flavorful with different flavors and sauces. The spice level was very mild although the boiled egg had a slightly spicy sauce which complimented it nicely. Really great meal! And the portions were just right and we were both full and happy after the meal. The restaurant is in a great central location with lots of people walking around. We're glad we found this place - definitely recommend!! read more

Good authentic Indonesian food here and especially the vegetarian rice table with ten dishes

My family and I dined here on our recent trip to Amsterdam. It was very important to me to go to an Indonesian restaurant and get a rice table while in the city. We do not have a lot of Indonesian restaurants where we are from and so this sounded really exciting to me and getting the rice table seem to be a big part of the Amsterdam experience. I saw this place had pretty good reviews and it was near where we were so we decided to try it. Some of the other places we looked at also required reservations, which seemed impossible to get. We were able to walk into this place. It was a little weird that you ordered at the counter and then sat at your table. We ordered the rice table for two. I'm glad we did it because it allowed us to try a little bit of everything and like I said Indonesian food is not common where we're from. However, had we ordered off the menu I think my husband would've ordered the dish that he loved the most and I would've ordered the dish that I ended up, loving the most. My husband really liked the yellow curry chicken. I am absolutely in love with beef rendang now and I need to find out where at home I can find such a thing. My son loved the fried rice. In fact, he loved it so much. We had to order a second order. Overall, a really nice dining experience. read more

We've never tasted Indonesian food before although living in the New York City area. When we visited Amsterdam it was on our wish/ to do list. Could not find seating on a Saturday evening. So we went 2 days later. Very friendly owner. V personal n addresses u by ur name. Not sure how he remembers all the names n am amazed. Clean restaurant just a few mins from Amsterdam Centraal. We got the rijsstrafel - rice table with so many dishes. Tasted so good. Generous portion and more than enough for 2. Was a variety of meats, vegetable n rice. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the meal. Thank you for a great dinner. Will be back again if n when we visit Amsterdam next read more

Aneka Rasa - Rijsstafel - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Good location near town center on a very touristy and happening shopping street. Indoor ambience is good, spacious and clean. Jerry is the friendly owner and greeted us immediately. Ordering is at the center table where Jerry laid out some menus and explained a couple of the dishes, he then takes your order and points to a table for you to sit. He makes the point of asking everyone's first name and then addresses you by first name throughout the evening. We came in around 4:30 in the evening and the restaurant gradually filled up. He managed to remember everyone's name. Now the food. It is ok, not the best or most authentic but decent enough. presentation is good. I'd say the price is a bit high if it was based on food quality only, but for the overall atmosphere and location it's about right. read more

Research informed me that, because of historical reasons, Amsterdam has very good Indonesian food. As luck would have it, I just spent some time there about a month ago so this seemed like a convenient way to recall that memory. This place was close to our hotel and had the rice platter in a vegetarian form!!! I was able to convince my family, and more importantly, my PARTNER to eat here because she has had enough Indonesian food for what seems like the next century after what we recently consumed. You walk in and notice immediately that this isn't like most other restaurants. You order at the desk in the middle of the restaurant and the rest remains to be known for me due to reasons below. We confirmed with the host/owner that they had a table available that could accommodate our party. He, out of the gate, said "I'm busy but I'll come back to you when I have time". That seemed strange "customer service" but I can totally relate to being busy at work and didn't think much of it at the time. Two of us decided to do the vegetarian platter (states min 2 people so this seemed ok) and the other two people decided on some menus in the a la carte portion of the menu. He teased us by walking over to our area a few times but then continued walking to do other things. While we were trying to order, a bunch of people had lined up behind us in a queue from the desk to the door. While discussing our order with us, he screamed at the people behind us to "go outside" and to "wait outside". He essentially kicked them out which again, seemed more aggressive than I am used to in the "hospitality" field but it had still come across as more eccentric at that time. This was helped by the fact that I was not the one being yelled at lol. As soon as we tried to order, he, in a very clearly irritated fashion, reprimanded us for not understanding the menu. He said that everyone had to order either the a la carte menu OR the rice platter/fixed menu but that we couldn't divide it that way. OH. Ok. That's fine. I scrambled to find something to order from the a la carte menu as he was very miffed with us by this point but he then said that everyone at our table needs to eat every single thing we order. We also have to order four dishes. I'm not sure whether that is per person or for the table. The whole thing was very confusing and we were scared shitless of this man who was so angry and yelling at all of the customers that we just said fuck it and walked out. By far, this is the most strange flow and menu policy I have ever encountered. This is reminding me he literally said "my house, my rules" to us when we were confused lmao. I get that but if it's going to be weird and confusing it would be prudent to expect that and either clearly explain or have clear signage to explain to people how the fuck to order off of this menu. At the very least, don't yell at customers. The KICKER is that we were able to find their website online and they say that the owners (definitely one of them was the guy) are super into peace and "Jesus loves you" etc etc which is RICH given the reality of his behavior. read more

Sorry but we are not tolerating this rude behavior from the owner and end up having dinner at this amazing Szechuan place next to it. We were waiting patiently outside for the store to open, no problem with that. The issue started as soon as this guy opened the door, as we were coming in and heading to an empty table, he started yelling you CANNOT sit until you order first. He's pointing at the menu like we're bunch of kindergartens. I turned around and told him "nah we're good" and proceeded to walk out. Meanwhile, after our dinner at the wonderful Szechuan place, we passed by and saw Aneka Rasa empty., as it should be HA! How can you run a business acting so miserable? Even if the food may be good but how can one sit there and take all his BS? Take your business somewhere else. Some place worthy of your money. read more

The young host is so professional, and clearly takes pride in sharing his family's culinary heritage. Rightly so because the food is incredibly good!! Every dish was a flavor bomb, with unique Indonesian sweet-sour profile. Highly recommend. And if you like unique liquors, try the Pandan Bandoeng. read more

We ate at this restaurant twice, once in 2022 and recently in June, 2025. Both times we ordered the rijsttafle. It was served with reasonable promptness and both times hot and tasty. The restaurant was busy but the staff seemed to be handling everything. We ate everything that was served to us. I enjoyed the sate chicken the most. There was a generous serving of delicious peanut sauce that I liked very much. I strongly recommend this place and I am skeptical of the few poor reviews it has received. I noticed that most of them are from several years ago and perhaps the restaurant is under different management. read more

We were looking for rijstaffel and found it really close to our hotel. Nice hotel. Check in was a little confusing because they must also do takeout but that only was a couple minutes. They were happy to explain each of the dishes they gave us and it was plenty for the four of us. Nice restaurant and interesting experience. read more

I found this place on Google Maps. I checked the ratings both on Google Maps and Yelp, and both had good ratings so we decided to have dinner here one evening. The owner was very welcoming and provided good service. He also took the time to know and remember our names. We had to order in the front before being seated. I ordered the "Mie Goreng Tek Tek" which is the fried noodles with chicken and fried egg. My BF got the "Rendang Padang" which is beef marinated in coriander spice. We really enjoyed our food but we were still slightly hungry after our meal. We could have ordered another appetizer or dessert, but we decided to get sweets somewhere else afterwards. Overall, we had a good experience here and would return again one day. read more

Aneka Rasa - Vegetarian sampler menu - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel. We've never had a rice table meal so decided to try it here. We chose the meat menu, which included chicken, beef and plenty of veggie dishes too. We had about 14 sampler size small plates, including dessert, more than enough for two people. It was great, except a little too spicy for my husband so he limited himself to the non-spicy stuff. We gave everything a try and I loved all the flavors. Staff was welcoming and helpful. They left us alone to eat at our own pace but made sure we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant has a nice relaxed ambiance. It was a little odd eating off of a paper covered plate tho but I figured it had to do with tradition. read more

Thank you Jerry! You were fantastic. The food was delicious and the perfect stop for the end of the day. My first time with Indonesian food and many of the dishes seemed to hail from familiar others...like Phillipino chicken adobo, Thai chicken satay and yellow curry... The corriander beef was great and the egg too. read more

Aneka Rasa - Ayam Bakar - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

You can't order individual dishes here, it is a set called a rice table; vegetarian or meat. You get several dishes of different types of food to share with your dining companions. We opted for the meat dishes and they were delicious! Indonesian reminds me of a toned down Thai dinner mixed with Indian. Everything was sauced or spiced and it all smelled sooo good! The pictures do a better job of explaining this restaurant than anything I could ever say, which is rare, IMO. All I know is that from the street, it looked good and smelled good, and when we tried it, it was yummy. I can't say that I had a favorite dish, but I can say that I need to try Indonesian again! 30/2019 read more

I have not personally visited Aneka Rasa, but my son went there the other day and accidentally left a bag with his passport inside. He did not realize this until after the restaurant had closed and had to catch a very early train. I emailed the restaurant and they were able to return his passport to some friends the following day despite being closed. I just wanted to give a shout out and HUGE thank you to Jerry and Christina from Aneka Rasa for your help. My son was really stressed about it and you helped resolve the situation very quickly, much to our relief. BTW my son did say the food was very good and we will be sure to visit the restaurant if we are ever in Amsterdam and thank the owners in person. read more

This place outstanding! The fixed menu gives a taste of all their amazing dishes full of flavor. We really enjoyed every dish we got. Great quality, flavors and variety of meats and sauces. The place is ran by a very friendly couple. The husband works the front and his wife is making the amazing dishes in the kitchen. They were so nice and had great service making our experience very enjoyable. They don't have a kids menu so keep that in mind if you have little ones. We took our kids to a little burger joint next door to get them fed and then went there to eat our dinner. The restaurant was very clean and relaxing. A++ experience. Highly recommend. One of the best meals we've had on our month long trip through Europe. read more

Went to see about eating here and were waiting outside. After about 10-15 mins of waiting and no one coming out, we walked in.

We waited outside in line for this restaurant for 30 minutes because they don't have a basic wait list or phone number on their website to make reservations. As we were about to be seated, they told us that they couldn't sit our party. And the man at the front desk actually shut the door on my face! I couldn't believe it. Horrible restaurant interaction - do not come here for any reason. Go to any other Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam. read more

Jerry is a gem, remembering our names when he brought out the delicious vegetarian rjistafel (rice table banquet for 2) Sauces were subtle, not too spicy for mere-mortal-Americans, and portions were perfect for sharing.

I have been walking around central Amsterdam all day and I have been eating every couple of hours but for some reason, I was hungry again. I knew I had to eat Indonesian food at some point while in Amsterdam and I so happened to be walking around the Red Light District and towards Amsterdam Centraal when I got hungry. Luckily, I found this place and I ended up with a really great meal. Daging Rendang: Beef marinated in coriander sauce. Comes with rice and veggies. Not too spicy and a bit sweet. The beef cubes were tender. 4/5 Rames Komplit: Chicken, beef, veal, hard-boiled egg, veggies, chicken on a stick with peanut sauce, and rice (I picked nasi goring), shoestring sweet potato fries. Each meat tasted slightly different. This was like a meat sampler with side dishes and I enjoyed this very much and finished everything on my plate. 5/5 Their appetizers start at 2.50euros, entrees are anywhere from 10eu-22eu, or you can get a set menu for about 28eu/person with a minimum of 2 people. I can't complain about anything. The service was excellent and so was the food. You can think this is quite pricey due to its location but who really cares? TIPS: They have free wifi! Get here before the lunch/dinner crowd as they tend to get busy. read more

You choose one of two prices five menus and they bring you small bits of a lot of dishes. Indonesian food is in its own class of fragrance and flavor, like Thai's shy Indian cousin. Outside of the islands, a Amsterdam is you best bet for this treat, and Aneka Rasa is your destination. The beef and lamb were the stars, but the egg, the green beans and the nasi goreng (rice) were great. They also have Bintang, the beer of Indonesia, which is one of those nice light brews perfect with this cuisine. Bring a big party here and share share share! Service was great. Location is not hard to find. read more

Visited in mid-April 2018. We had a wonderful meal, with the two of us sharing the Rijsttafel. Each dish was more delicious that the last. It's a relatively small establishment. When we were there, most of the tables were filled, and there seemed to be only one person in front-of-house. Even so, we did not feel that the service was particularly slow. We fully enjoyed our meal, and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. If we are ever back to Amsterdam, we will be certain to eat here again. read more
