Whether you get the beef rendang, chicken curry, the fried fritters, etc,..... by far my most favorite dish here is the dry, slow cooked Beef Rendang, which is so tender and spiced well. I sometimes will just get a container of the beef rendang to eat for another day. Definitely skip the plain rice and go with the coconut rice. Do not let your food get cold, the fried and curries are always much better when warm. This is a family run business, the food quality is excellent and service is very personable. They are active on instagram with their specials for the day as well. The ambiance is more of a take and go with a few indoor outdoor tables next to the building for the lunch crowd. Parking is behind the restaurant but the ground is unpaved and bumpy.

I never thought I'd get to try out Global Grace Cafe since I typically work 6 days a week and am…read morerarely ever off on a weekday, but as luck would have it, I finished early not once, but twice(!) during one of my rotations and was able to stop by for lunch! Global Grace Cafe is located inside the Quilt Room or the social hall of the Reformed Church of Highland Park. When you get to the church, just follow the footpath to the right and enter--either follow your nose or the sounds of kitchen items and people and you should have no problem finding it! Every day, they have a different menu depending on which chef is working (there are chefs from India, Syria, Jamaica, Uganda and Indonesia!). Their food is super delicious with very fresh ingredients and the prices are very awesome. A lunch entree is $5, and if you want salad+soup, that'll run you $5 as well ($3 for salad, $2 for soup). They also have assorted pastries (cookies, scones, blondies, brownies, specialty bars [e.g. raspberry almond / apricot walnut / derby bar) that range from $1.50-2.50. They also serve fair trade coffee for one dollah! I got the Congolese Chicken + Cabbage with rice + potatoes and a side salad the first time I went. The second time, I got a trio of salads (beet salad, Congolese slaw, and cucumber salad) that came with pita bread. I've also tried their apricot walnut bar + derby bar. You can't really go wrong with any of the food here since it's all super tasty! :] I really wish I could come here more often, but I like being able to pop in when I can! It reminds me of the Better World Cafe (which I was only able to go to once)!

This cafe is a volunteer-driven service provided by the Reformed Church of Highland Park, who also…read moreprovides immigration assistance. Volunteers from different countries serve as the chef (I just happened to drop by on one fine Friday day and the food is Syrian, but I was told there was Indonesian and African/Nigerian cooking from time to time). We volunteered at the kitchen from time to time in the past but I never really actually ate at this cafe myself before. You eat in the dining hall of the church and the volunteers serve the food on a plate and add whatever salad/side combination you request right there. For 5-6 bucks, you'll get a delicious and fresh plate (except, unfortunately, the fruit, but it's forgivable). The chicken with cilantro or yogurt with bulgur on the side is well cooked, including the delicious potato salad side. If you'd like to surprise yourself with whatever exotic variety is available for your lunch (...and support a good cause), this is the place for you!

Since trying Indonesian food in Amsterdam, I have been searching for good authentic Indonesian…read morefood, so I was over the moon when I went to this spot with a group. We called ahead to make sure they would be open when we arrived around 8:45pm, and they were very accommodating when we arrived with a group of 5. It felt authentic, and the food was exactly what I was dreaming about. My husband and brother shared a Rijsttafel, which they said was very good. My husband said it was a 4.25/5, and next time he would want a normal dish. I wish they had a vegetarian Rijsttafel (like in the places we found in Amsterdam), but they had a ton of vegetarian dishes regardless. I went a little overboard and ordered the tofu sate, gado gado, and kare sayur. The tofu sate with the peanut sauce was amazing, but my favorite was the gado gado. I was so happy. That peanut sauce is incredible. The waitress said the kare sayur is a popular dish with vegetarians, but it didn't blow me away like the other dishes. It was a trek to get out here from Manhattan, but I would do it again. The two ladies working at the restaurant were so warm and friendly. I was very happy.

I recently was taken here on a first date and had a pleasant experience. I have been eyeing this…read moreIndonesian neighborhood restaurant for quite some time now so naturally getting the opportunity to finally try it was absolutely delightful. We opted for the 15 course dinner that samples through their entire menu. It is a perfect amount of food for two people and I recommend this experience very much. The meal starts with a cozy chicken and noodle broth soup which was so warming and comforting, just what the doctor ordered in this weather. The second round of food was two types of salad and a corn fritter. I loved the pickled salads as they had a nice crunch to them and tasted delicious. The fritters are a good size but a little bit greasier than I liked. The last round is where all the curries are brought out on a hot plate. There's shrimp, lamb, beef rendang, chicken, tofu etc. There's also white rice and skewers of chicken and beef satay coated in a delicious peanut sauce. Some of the curries I liked very much - like the fried tofu and the sauce on the shrimp curry was divine. Beef rendang fell a little flat for me as it wasn't as decadent, thick or spicy like authentic rendang is. The lamb curry had a sweet taste which I found a little odd. The chicken satay was juicy and delicious but the beef satay was rubbery and hard to chew and a weird texture. I definitely expect better from a satay skewer. Our server was kind and kept the flow of the food going. The final course is a little coconut pandan flan which was very very good but the texture is firmer than what I like. Flan should definitely be a bit softer and creamier. Either way it's tough to nail a 15 course dinner expertly but I do think if they made a few needed changes to the quality of food this would easily be a 5 star experience! If you live nearby, definitely give this beautiful cozy family run restaurant a try!!

The char kway teow was a standout: perfectly chewy flat rice noodles with smoky wok flavor, crisp bean sprouts, and just the right balance of savory and sweet. You can taste the technique here. The roti canai was flaky, light, and beautifully layered--exactly how it should be. Paired with the curry dipping sauce, it was hard to stop tearing pieces off. We even asked for an extra small rice so we could eat the rest of the dipping sauce. We also ordered the Hainanese chicken, which was tender, juicy, and simply prepared, letting the quality of the chicken shine. The chili sauce on the side added the perfect kick. Overall, Penang feels like a go-to spot when you want comfort food that's genuinely Malaysian. Great for sharing dishes, exploring the menu, and coming back again to try more classics. Authentic, satisfying, and worth the visit.

We've walked past here many times but have never pulled the trigger, and we are so glad we did…read moretonight! They have been here for 2 years and 1 month as of April 2026. They have a pre fix menu mostly (it changes every month), but on Saturdays, they do the giant Liwetan communal eating, which is served on a banana leaf and meant to be eaten with your hands. Let me just start by saying that we are Hardena groupies. I have almost broken my phone screen trying multiple times to get my hands on a #notpizza box during the pandemic. This was the brainchild of Chef Diana at Hardena, and it was truly one of the only bright spots from COVID. Anyway, this is Chef Diana's own restaurant (her family still owns Hardena), and while the flavors and sambal (hot sauce) are very similar to Hardena, she makes Indonesian food truly beautiful with her creativity. The plating is that of a Michelin star / James beard winning restaurant. I mean, just look at this giant dumpling that is shaped so beautifully and then really imaginatively placed inside a red cabbage leaf in a bowl. I'm used to Indonesian food being served from a warming tray in takeout boxes so this really blew my mind. They serve three different sauces (2 sambals and a sweet one). Everything was spectacular, and the dishes keep getting bigger in the 5 course pre fixe (not including dessert, but this was a very nice size). Each dish was explained to us carefully and gently delivered by Chef Diana's wife. There are only about 6 tables so reservations are limited (and you pre pay). They do have a vegan menu, but you have to let them know ahead of time or else they have to scramble (which they graciously did tonight for a walk in). They also gave my mom tea when she asked for it, even though that's not something they normally offer. The interior is super cute and well-decorated, and that pink neon sign really shines nicely through the window. I will have to try to resist temptation every time we pass this (which is often), but I'm already thinking about when we can go back! Don't sleep on Rice & Sambal!
