Nidcielo — Restaurant in Jakarta

NIDCIELO is located in Soho Building, on 2nd floor. There was limited parking spots, but valet's available. The Spanish fusion restaurant was opened since 2019. The chef is a Japanese chef who once worked in Valencia, Italy before moving to Indonesia.

We were directed to table 21 which located on the corner. It's a strategic spot where i could take a beautiful picture of the main dining room. The interior was mesmerizing. It's like the Great Gatsby style. Glamorous with vintage spanish touch. Great light setting, nice ambiance and cozy seatings.

We ordered: San Miguel draught beer promo b1g1 Chipirones Chorizo Jamon Iberico Porky Tacos Ajilo Clasico Extra Sourdough Bread to dip in the Ajillo clasico oil White Anchovy Toast Paella de Mariscos

And for desserts, we ordered: Crema Catalana Cheesecake with spanish olive oil

We were so amazed by how delicious the food were 🥰😋 My kiddos loved them so much, all the food were practically gone in minutes after they're arrived at our tables. 10/10 they said.

The paella was delicious, umami topped with 2 giant prawns that tasted like lobster meat. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The jamon iberico tasted like the one we had in Barcelona 👌 The ajillo clasico was umami and flavorful, mixed with different kinds of mushroom. And the remaining garlicky oil at the square steel pan, used as dipping for our sourdough breads. It was divine!

The service was great, the waitress were attentive & friendly.

There was a buy 1 get 1 promo San Miguel draught beer, if you order before 8pm.

Strictly no BYO water bottle. We were told (nicely) by the waiter that the water bottles should be stored away inside my bag.

The main concern is that between the smoking and non smoking areas there's no separator. So i would imagine, on weekends the smokes will circulate to the whole dining areas. We went there on weekday (thursday evening) and there was no one smoking near us, which was...

Nidcielo is a spanish restaurant which located at Soho Building Gunawarman, 2nd Floor.

I was stunned and amazed with the interior concept when I enterred this place. It is so classy and elegant. Dominated by colourful stained glass with warm lighting makes the ambience is so perfect for you who want to spend the night.

The service was impeccable, they were really helpful and friendly.

For the food, we tried some of their signature dish from Tapas to Dessert.

Tapas Tortilla de Albahac (Spanish Omellete with basil, grana padano and alioli sauce) The omelette tasted really good, the texture is quite unique. Alioli sauce was also great.

Smoked Salmon (Smoked Salmon with beetroot puree alioli and micro greens) Smoked salmon was really fresh. Beetroot puree was okay, as I dont really like beetroot taste (lol). Again, the alioli sauce was yummy.

Main Course

Paella de Mariscos (Paella rice served with king prawn, green mussels cooked in saffron and seafood broth) It was served beautifully on a hot plate. Paella rice taste pretty good and cooked well. It was quite fishy but still okay. Topping was generous. Dont forget to squeeze the lemon to get richer taste.

Pradera de Pollo y Foie-Gras (Pan fried foie gras and chicken with eringi mushroom and white beans in sherry dressing) This one was the highlight on that night! Foie Gras taste soooooo damn delicious and was cooked perfectly so I can still get the best texture of it. Chicken was okay, a bit overcooked and quite bland. The dressing was great and combine very well with all components on the plate.

Dessert Crema Catalana This one is soooo damn gewddd. This dessert is similar with Creme Brulee, from the texture and the taste too. It was not too sweet, I like it a lot. I think this one is the best creme brulee I have...

all the food were spot on! here are my reviews on the food i ordered

starters: mushroom fritos (7/10): you can never go wrong with fried mushroom fritters! they serve it with a sweet sauce (i personally think it was ok, but i prefer something like cajun/tartar sauce 🙂) nachos (7/10): just ok for me, nothing too special patatas bravas (8/10): potatoes were crispy and their sauce tastes like HSP, which is good!! ajillos classico (shrimp and sauteed mushroom with garlic butter - 9/10): my family said their shrimp is really good (im allergic to shrimp l), their sauteed mushroom and garlic butter sauce is to die for 😫, eat this with the meat and greet steak, theyre perfect with each other! chipirones (fried baby squid - 6.5/10): the baby squid was too small and crunchy for my liking 😐, i prefer calamari size squids, but this one is still edible and their tartar / aoli tastes nice

main course: meat & greet (200 gr short ribs with zuccini and tomato - 8.5/10): the beef was cooked as requested, not too juicy, but the beef tasted good and very light with the condiments, the zuccini and tomato had some smokey flavor to it smoked pork loin (8.5/10): the pork was nicely cooked and the mashed potato is just 🧑‍🍳👌🏻, very smooth and light (not too buttery/milky)

drinks & desserts: rosé sangria (8/10): served fresh!! burnt basque cheesecake (8.5/10): really light and nice! the tangy raspberry compliments the sweet cheesecake so it balances the flavor 👌🏻 vodka coffee lemon shot (?) - i dont know what they name the drinks, but its really nice! the lemon, coffee and sugar really suits well with...
