Mandala Baru — Restaurant in Jakarta

Finally visited the revamped Resto Mandala which boasts stylish Shanghai ambience from bygone era with its vintage looking pictures of Chinese ladies in 1920s style, walls decorated with those calendar that you tear for each day, chinese carvings and a wall full of golden lucky cats each waving its paw.

Was a bit wary of the service (expecting it to be slow), but to our pleasant surprise our order came quickly and each in a HUGE portion enough for 4-5 people. We ordered the Nasi Goreng Kepiting (Crab Fried Rice) which was simply delicious! Full of flavor and not too salty.

With a large portion this will fit with family group or with a person who like abundance portions. Furthermore, with average price of restaurant in Jakarta, I think it's affordable and worth it. You can paid with digital,...

A nice spot for chinese food after strolling pasar mayestik. The food was okayy. The portion was enough to be shared with 3 people. But the food took so long to arrived at the table. They gave us the vegetables first and made us wait long enough for the ayam mentega. I think it's better to just serves everything together. Because if the point was to serves it as soon as it finished, even if it was the vegetables or other than the protein ones, the guests will probably still wait for the...
