Orlando is a place filled with every chain restaurant known to man. Thank goodness for Worlds Magic Restaurant. It bills itself as an Indonesian Arabic restaurant. I was concerned that the only review from a fellow Indonesian warned against eating here. However, ethnic food is routinely toned down for American consumption. I'm glad I decided to eat there. The menu is filled with familiar Indonesian dishes. There's even a "combination plate" with small portions of popular dishes. I was going to order it, and my waiter felt it's a great way to have a variety of foods. However, he suggested I order the Arabic Lamb Specialty that was not on the menu. I have had Indonesian food in New York and where I live. How often does one get the opportunity to eat Arabic food? It was an easy decision. I was expecting grilled lamb similar to Lebanese food over steamed rice. What I got was lamb and rice cooked in an underground oven. The waiter said it gave the rice its slightly smoky flavor. I couldn't identify several spices used, but I can attest the result was outstanding. The lamb was soft tender and flavorful. The rice was typical very long grain rice. It has a subtle flavor that compliments the lamb. It was served with a tomato based sauce on the side. The sauce was too spicy for my taste but probably mild on the Indonesian hot scale. I felt it overwhelmed the complex seasoning of the lamb. The lamb was too good to hide its virtues with any sauce no matter how good the sauce may be. Truly an exceptional meal. I again trusted the waiter with the dessert. It was an orange colored cheese dish. The waiter told me to stop playing with my phone and eat it before it got cold. Love the guy. I'm not sure what was in it except some pistachios, but it was a wonderful new experience. Needless to say, my waiter was great! I like people who are proud of their food and not afraid to push what's best. The waiter gave me the dessert with his compliments. He refused my offer to pay for it. If you're in Orlando to visit Mickey Mouse, skip the resort and chain restaurants. Experience something new and wonderful at Worlds Magic Restaurant! read more

This place is really good, very flavor and what I ordered comes sizzling. The staff is very nice, I'd give it 5 stars except I assumed a Middle Eastern place would have larger portions that you can share and be full-er from. It's a great, clean, Halal restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing restaurant! Awesome customer service and the food was delicious- reminded me of my childhood! Went out of my way to download Yelp to leave a review read more

First off, the beef randang was really good. However, the mixed platter for 2 was lackluster. Pretty high price for rice, an egg, a bunch of random vegetables, and for some reason pasta in red sauce? Would not recommend that dish. The other things on the menu seemed interesting but we didn't get to try it. The reason I marked this down is because we asked for peanut sauce when we ordered, reminded them for it when they forgot it when they brought the food, and received the sauce at the end of the meal after we finished eating. The food took almost 30-40 minutes to come out even though we were the second group to enter the restaurant. read more

We ordered mandi chicken, mandi lamb, chicken shish, and beef kofta, and hummus. The food was flavorful and juicy. The dessert basbousa was delicious along with their mint tea. Basim was very kind to our family. read more

Don't let the strange name dissuade you from eating here. To be honest, we almost didn't go because of that. We ordered the Data, which was average, but we would have loved if they had it lamb (they only had beef and chicken) What was amazing was the combo, a nice selection of Indonesian dishes, served with basmati rice. Definitely recommended. read more

Worlds Magic Restaurant - The best Mandi in town - Indonesian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Strongly recommended if you are looking for great meal. Clean, delicious, value for money, friendly staff, and nice ambiance. You need more than one visit to give yourself a fair chance to try all food items. One for the Mandi and Jareesh, one for the Indonesian food, one for the seafood, and special visit for the okra, Molokhia, and stuffed vegetables (Mahsi) The food took long time to be served, but I think this the price you pay for made to order fresh food. read more

The food was simply amazing but the service provided was impeccable!!! The lamb plate was phenomenal and delicious

If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food and you're in the Orlando area this is the place for you. If you're not familiar with this type of food please stop by and give yourself a chance to savor this authentic cuisine at the best in the area.

*** Hands down the best restaurant I have ever been to*** Are you tired of servers slamming the door in your face, giving you a nasty look, or telling you they're closing? Yes No I I I L Come to NYC, I you'd love it here. Do you wish the servers are friendly, fast and efficient? I I Yes No I L You finally gave up on life, huh? I I I I Yes No I I I I Can you put me What gives?! I in your will? XOXO I Do you wish for the food to be inexpensive with justified portions and taste delicious?!? I I Yes No I I Do you like L Are you a baller? free ice cream? I I I I Yes No I I I L Bruhh... I I No wonder Yes No I I ___j You monster.. I (You poor lactose I intolerant child) You've found your perfect magical restaurant! Summary: On our arrival to Florida we decided to Lyft to this restaurant. Our driver had a bit of a hard time finding this place. It was between Buffalo Wild Wings and Pizza Hut, hidden away from the main road. We arrived around 9pm-ish to this restaurant and I admit, I was a bit worried seeing how there was only one couple dining in this restaurant. But worry not, we were seated immediately and provided a menu and a glass of water. The servers had no issue describing any dish we had questions about. We ordered: Mixed Indonesian Plate Dish $25 - Sayor Soup $4.99 - Shrimp, onion, tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, potatoes, green beans and green onions I did not realize that when we arrived, they were about to close and were already cleaning the kitchen (that explains the one couple..), so we felt pretty apologetic. I whispered to my partner that they were probably spitting in our food. They only had one chef, and explained that the dish we had ordered was Indonesian, while someone else ordered Mediterranean for take out. In the end, they felt sorry and apologized to us for the dish taking a while. Towards the end of the meal, they offered us free vanilla ice cream glazed with caramel and chocolate. Surprisingly enough, we did not finish our meal and had to take it to go, they even offered us a FREE bowl of rice! Such sweethearts. Aside from the meal, the interior was beautiful ! Totally dig that clock behind the cashier. We ended up going to Magic Kingdom & EPCOT, and watched the fireworks; they were amazing. :) Hope this is mobile friendly! read more

The best lamb I have ever tasted... Hands down. I was in town for only a few days on business. Not knowing where to get a bite I looked around for something local and nice, but with a casual feel. I randomly decide on this restaurant and I'm so glad I did. The Lamb Mandi was an incredible and savory experience. The flavor was intricate and vibrant, yet not so complicated that I lost a sense of what I was eating. The tenderness of the meat can not be overstated and the fluffy, pungent rice nestled underneath was absolute heaven. And I'm not talking about anemic lamb chops, they slow cook the succulent and less well known lamb shoulder chop for you to enjoy. A personal favorite cut I've prepared at home for years... But this is the best I have ever had. Heard enough? Go get you some. read more

INDONESIANS BEWARE!! HATI HATI DENGAN RESTORAN INI!! I don't even know whether these 5 stars reviews were made by their relatives or fakes. 1 star is not even enough to tell how awful is the food served. As an Indonesian, the food served here is a disgrace to our culture and should not even labeled Indonesian. We ordered the party platter and a beef satay, took them 45 minutes to get the food ready. Since we are a party of 11, this might be normal. Service was decent, owner or manager came to talk to us. Have no complaint about the service. Here is where the nightmare begun. All the food on the plate except the rice are sour and does not represent the taste of the food at all. Even the rice is soggy. All of us just chewed through because we are extremely hungry. Yet, we could not even finish the food because THE TASTE IS JUST THAT HORRIBLE. Mind that, each of these platters cost $40. Beef satay was below decent, and sadly the peanut sauce that accompanies it is the one thats borderline edible. $14 dollar for 5 sticks of "okay" satay isnt worth it. So does our visit and yours, it is not worth it. read more

We got the Indonesian platter for one and an order of Satay and wow, was it yummy. Conveniently located to our hotel on International Drive. The interior is lovely and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. The menu has a lot of options and I would love to try them all. I plan to return here when I'm in town again. read more

OMG! This is by far one of the best Indonesian food I've ever tried. I started with the vegetable dumplings, they were fresh and crispy, better with the dipping sauce. The main dish (Vegetable Mixed plate) was very tasty, I didn't even missed the meat. FELIX r a dessert I tried the baklava, fresh made and delicious. This is a family business, so the owner came to say hi and asked about my experience. Great people, great customer service. You have to try it. read more

Definitely not going back. Took 30 min just to get water! Out of half the menu. Food took an hour to get and half the table didn't have anything for 10 more min. Good wasn't good. Potatoes with red sauce turned out to be tomato sauce that tasted like almost straight tomato paste. The "coconut" green beans tasted like tahini with no trace of coconut flavor. They did apologize about how slow the service was and stated it was due to the staff calling out. They comped 1 dish and brought out free ice cream. read more
