I was craving Indonesian food and found on Yelp that there were two places nearby serving Indonesian dishes. We decided to try Lezat Indonesia Kitchen, which turned out to be a ghost kitchen -- a large shared commercial kitchen space used by different chefs rather than a traditional dine-in restaurant. We placed our order through the DoorDash app and received live updates when the food was ready for pickup. At the pickup station, we scanned the DoorDash order details, and one of the cubbies automatically opened with our order inside. read more

In town for a conference, I was looking for an Indonesian restaurant nearby. Surprisingly, there weren't any, but I came across this ghost kitchen. I had forgotten how ghost kitchens work, so I didn't order ahead of time. The nasi kuning was good, but there was way too much rice. The same goes for the ayam geprek. They also provided very little sambal, which was quite disappointing. I did enjoy the Teh Kotak, though. Overall, it's a good option if you're really hungry, but I wouldn't come here for the dining experience. read more

I ordered the Nasi Kuning and it was incredible! The combination of flavors not experienced anywhere and the depth of flavor was impressive. Im coming back for sure. The owner came out and she talked to me and gave me a free drink. So kind and personable read more

Area is a little sketch but I kind of like the kitchen concept. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. LIKE WOW I HAD GRILLED CHICKEN. AND IT WAS GRILLED ON A BBQ GRILL. FLAVORED WELL. JUICY. I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT ALL WEEK. Sorry for yelling. But that's literally how I feel about the food. Top tier and I also had the nasi goreng. I've been to Indonesia and Indonesian food is literally my top favorite in the world. So this was a treat. read more

Lezat Indonesian Kitchen - This is where you pick the food up - Indonesian Near Me - San Diego, California

Pros -Mi goreng (medium spicy) was very good, with a huge portion size and hitting all the right tangy - spicy - sweet notes -Vegan Nasi Kuning was beautifully presented and allowed me to try numerous small components. The yellow rice topping was delicious and I liked the spicy, savory notes of the bailado tofu -Roti had good flavor and texture Cons -Both Yelp and delivery sites show Lezat open during lunch hours but today my lunch order was canceled at the last minute after GrubHub driver already arrived due to "Business Closed until 4:45 pm. " so I held out until dinner. -The curry dip accompanying the roti was thin and lacked flavor -The Nasi Kuning components weren't as tasty as a whole as I expected. Would order dinner delivery again, but stick with the Mi goreng and roti (accompanied by my own homemade dip) read more

Lezat isn't so much a restaurant as it is a Black Mirror episode with sambal. Forget the warm hospitality of Indonesian dining this is a ghost kitchen where human contact has been deleted from the code. Pickup process: Your food is locked away in a metal cubby, accessible only by QR code. It feels less like dinner and more like retrieving contraband from a sci-fi vending machine. Atmosphere: The "front lawn" is a holding pen for Uber drivers, idling like NPCs in a dystopian video game. Sketchy doesn't even begin to cover it. Food quality: Mediocre at best. The flavors are muted, the textures uninspired. It's Indonesian cuisine stripped of soul, reheated for efficiency. Customer service: Nonexistent. If they forget utensils, hot sauce, or half your order, there's no hotline, no counter, no human to plead with. You're shouting into the void of automation. Overall vibe: Dining here feels like being beta tested by an AI overlord. It's not hospitality.... it's a transaction in a dystopian future where food is rationed by QR code and empathy has been deprecated. Verdict: If you're hungry for an actual meal, look elsewhere. If you're hungry for a glimpse into the bleak future of humanless dining, Lezat is your cautionary tale. read more

Excellent food to order from home. Everything we got from Lezat arrived super fresh, well packaged, and full of authentic flavors. They have a great selection of Indonesian dishes, and the beef rendang completely exceeded my expectations. The service is efficient and quick with takeout orders. A great Halal food alternative in the area read more

Met the owner/chef of this kitchen restaurant and it was the weirdest interaction ever. The food I ordered were very small portions and was not warm. read more

Wow!!!! What a GREAT FIND! While vacationing in SD, I missed indonesian food, so I looked up to see if SD has indonesian restaurant, and I found Lezat! I called to pre-order my food, the lady told me the time to pick.it up. They do t have a restaurant, it's a Shared kitchen warehouse looking place that house several other "food businesses". You can order your food online (or call ahead) OR head there and they have tablets at the lobby for you to place food order, typical wait time is about 15 minutes. I ordered nasi kuning (yellow rice) with beef rendang, grilled chicken plate with coconut rice (i asked for this instead of regular rice), chicken satay, perkedel (fried mashed potatoes) and martabak telur (fried pastries filled with eggs and gree onion). I have to say as an indonesian, the food here is legit!!! So so so good and perfectly seasoned. The Portion is generous too! Service was top notch and she was perfectly on time! Told me to come at 1245 and exactly at 1245 she texted me saying food is ready and I could meet her up front. Loveeeee it! Check it out if you want to try good authentic and affordable indonesian food without having to fly to indonesia! read more

Got the nasi kuning and mi goreng. Glad to have indonesian food option here in San Diego. Tastes authentic and come with good variety.

If you're looking for REAL Indonesian food in San Diego, look no further than Lezat Kitchen! This place is an absolute hidden gem, bringing the true essence of Indonesian home cooking with flavors that are bold, authentic, and nearly impossible to find in California. If you're Indonesian and miss home, this will instantly take you back. If you've never had Indonesian food, this is the perfect place to start! The Food - Authentic, Flavorful, and Just Like Home Nasi Kuning - This fragrant yellow rice dish is a classic in Indonesian cuisine. The one at Lezat Kitchen is well-balanced, though slightly milder than the traditional version. It's fluffy, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with the side dishes. A comforting staple that reminds me of home! Rendang - THE STAR OF THE SHOW. If you haven't tried rendang before, it's a slow-cooked beef dish braised in coconut milk and an aromatic blend of spices until it becomes tender, rich, and packed with umami. I've tried many rendang dishes across the U.S., and people often praise the ones in LA, but trust me--this one is SO much better! The spices, the texture, the deep caramelization--it tastes exactly like the rendang you'd get in Indonesia. It's rare to find this level of authenticity! Telor Balado - A comforting, homey dish of fried eggs coated in spicy sambal balado. The sambal here has a unique, refreshing twist, giving it a perfect balance of heat and tanginess. They also serve Sambal Ijo, another type of sambal made from green chilies, which is incredibly flavorful and adds the perfect kick! Urap - A traditional Javanese vegetable dish with grated coconut, making it light, fresh, and packed with flavor. The coconut and spices blend beautifully, giving that true authentic Indonesian taste. Kale Soup - This dish instantly reminded me of Sayur Lodeh, a comforting Indonesian vegetable soup made with coconut milk. Even though they use kale, the broth and flavors perfectly replicate the taste of home. It's warm, nourishing, and has that signature Indonesian spice kick. Ayam Penyet - Insanely crispy, juicy, and absolutely delicious. If you've had real Indonesian ayam penyet, you know the standard is HIGH--and this one does not disappoint! The chicken is perfectly smashed, well-seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection. The sambal is excellent, though slightly less spicy than the ones you'd find in Indonesia (which makes sense since not everyone here can handle extreme heat like Indonesians can ). But trust me, it's still SO good! Chicken Satay - Another standout dish! The satay here tastes just like the Sate Abang-Abang (street-style chicken satay) that you'd find on the streets of Jakarta. Unlike the more refined Sate Khas Senayan, this version is grilled to smoky perfection, served with rich peanut sauce, and brings that nostalgic, comforting taste. If you're a fan of satay, you HAVE to try this! And the best part? Tante Tini, the owner, is one of the kindest, most humble people you'll ever meet. She puts so much love and passion into every dish, and you can truly taste it in the food. read more

The food is made to order so please be patient and they are pretty nice when you call to get eta on your food! Will continue coming back for more!! read more

So got there and it's a delivery service area for 30+ restaurants and caterers. 2pm on Saturday with their hours saying open till 7 for this specific restaurant, nope. It's a food court uber eats situation there. Not always open please pre call. Their good may very well be 5 stars but I drove 15 miles out of the way and parked to have them show up as closed on the terminal where you order. Google lies read more

Ordering online is easy and quick. The food was ready in less than 1 hour. Parking on the street is very limited when I went. Pick up is also easy. I got notification on my phone to open the locker. Food are so delicious. Very authentic Indonesian food made by a lady with superb culinary expertise. I highly recommend this place for an authentic Indonesian taste. read more

What a gem! The food is authentically prepared, beautifully presented and economically priced. While the "sate ayam," "gado-gado" and "beef rendang" impressed with their spot-on flavors, the vegan "nasi kuning" was an unexpected surprise. It included jackfruit rendang (delicious!) and a delightful "balado" to go along with an impeccable and generously portioned "nasi kuning." It's nice to know I don't have to fly to Jakarta for food this good! The name says it all: Lezat sekali! read more

Although I didn't care for the ordering process and the longer than indicated wait times, the food is legit! Finally some great Indonesian food in San Diego. The rendang is soooooo good. Yummy. read more

Food was tasty and the portions were great! They are located at food pick-up hub/warehouse, so you pick up your food at a locker. They have some shaded tables and seats outside but they tend to be taken quick. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because we asked for "Indonesian spicy" Mi Goreng & it wasn't spicy at all. read more

This is a ghost kitchen establishment and not only the foods are quite authentic but also the price is quite reasonable for the portion given. The protein in any of the food is decent unlike most Indonesian restaurants in the US. Highly recommend ordering from Lezat read more

First time trying this Indonesian food place & we will be coming back to try the rest of their menu. We enjoyed all the items we bought (nasi kuning, nasi goreng, kwetiauw goreng) especially the roti paratha with curry dipping sauce. The place is clean & orderly. Ordering online is more convenient & fastest. They will text you when your food is ready. Or you can wait inside your car. Street parking only. read more

Just enjoyed a tasty dinner from Lezat delivered by DoorDash. Unique flavors and generous portions. We will definitely order again

Very authentic Indonesian food. It was a great find. It is hard to find Indonesian restaurants, let alone a good one that don't adjust or water down their flavors to appease more delicate American taste buds. read more

Excellent Indonesian food! - Best Ive had in the US. Everything we got was excellent- beef rendang, chicken satay, paratha, murtabak. The sauces and condiments were awesome too. Can't wait to come back and try the many other things on the menu! read more

After two separate visits to Indonesia, I would come home and get a craving for Indonesian food and cry because nothing was available anywhere near San Diego. But I randomly decided to search for some and finally my prayers were answered: A place for Indonesian food in San Diego AND within a few miles from me! Plus the best part is they are super vegan friendly. I haven't tried all the vegan menu items yet, but out of the ones I've had, my favorite is the bihun goreng. Tahu goreng is also a must. For some reason they don't have any tempe menu items though? Maybe they can't get a decent supply of authentic tempe, but I'm desperately missing tempe goreng (or any good tempe dish). The nasi kuning is a great option too, and very nostalgic for me since we would have that for celebrations when I was staying in Indo. Don't sleep on this place! Even my Indonesian friend was impressed with the menu. If you've never had Indonesian food, you need to give it a try. And if you can't handle spicy food, definitely don't order it with spice, Indonesians don't mess around. read more

Every now and then, I get delusional and look up Indonesian food in the delivery apps. Usually I come up short, but this time I won! I told my mom about the spot, she went and gave me the seal of approval. I immediately placed an order. That day, my partner and I felt like eating kwetiau (think of pad see ew, less sweet, and more smoky), nasi kuning (yellow tumeric rice, with a bit of fried potato and peanuts on top, rendang/spiced dry beef stew, telor balado/boiled egg with mild sambal, and urap/coconut steamed veggies), and es teler (iced drink with jackfruit, avocado, housemade grass jelly, palm fruit, and condensed milk). Enak banget omg! Absolutely delicious. It's now my goal to try every dish on the menu. read more

Lezat Indonesian Kitchen is definitely one of the best Indonesian food I've tried in SoCal. They offer great portion of food with really great flavors and high quality ingredients.
