Al Jazeerah Signature Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Jakarta

Came here last week on a Saturday early evening, wasn’t too crowded. Beautiful middle eastern decor, friendly staff, and gorgeous menu with amazing photos. The place is definitely a must try for shisha lovers. The food was good, altho I think it has been adjusted to local tongue, I tried this kind of food before in several other countries and remember them having more distinctive Arabian spice flavor. The humus, for example, it was rather plain for me here, altho the pita bread was delicious. I actually liked the tabbouleh dip better than the humus, which was delicious and refreshing with the pita bread. My husband and I ordered Biryani Rice with Chicken and Mandhi Rice with Fish. Both dishes were rather dry to us, and the flavor was mild, I wanted stronger spices flavor in the dishes. That being said, they were somewhat tasty though. The Moroccan mint tea was delicious and as authentic as it can be, in my opinion. The one thing that was really disappointing to me was the music, especially on the first floor, it was super loud, I could barely hear the waiter talking over the ridiculously ear-shattering sound system. You had to shout to be heard. Why would you need that kind of music in a closed-off space ? How do u expect people to enjoy their time here when they can’t even have decent conversation without shouting just to be heard ?? We decided to move to the fifth floor, there were acoustic live music there which has equally bad sound system, although not as loud because it was a half-open space and the musicians were actually not bad. It was just the sound system that was really bad set up I think. The entire dining experience could have been more pleasant had it not been for the super loud sound system. I would have given 4 stars to this place if not because of the...

The shisha quality is outstanding, both physical quality and the service is fine. Flavours are fine and satisfactory. Performance/price is excellent. Just a personal opinion; I wish there was something stronger rather than only double apple.

The ambiance is proper and lighting is balanced. Some of the chairs are very uncomfortable but the overall is acceptable.

The meal variety in the menu is neither rich nor poor but the the chef has done an excellent work. Delicious and authentic. Nothing special but it doesn’t make you regret. I would expect something richer only.

The down side about the meals is the size/portion. The photos in the menu may mislead you as they seem significantly larger than the real stuff. The price gives the hint: if it’s under 100k, then expect something very small to finish in just 5 minutes, which leaves you with an unfinished feeling. They should also serve some salt/pepper/spice alongside the meal without demand. This is an Arabic style restaurant, of course people would like to add some salt/pepper/spice during eating. These are the reasons for a star minus.

The management should find a solution to the machine that works all the time as it’s too noisy on the background. Maybe I’m too prone to peripherals.

The service is swift and polite. There are usually someone around ready to help you.

Overall, you won’t regret to dine in here or enjoy shisha. Go there, try a main dish, and enjoy a long...
