Seilera — Restaurant in Jakarta

First Sei (famous Kupang smokey meat) restaurant in Jakarta.

This new smallish place was almost full when we came, and guests always coming replacing ones that finished dining.

Order must be done in cashier before we were assigned to table. We order 3 beef sei, 1 oxtongue sei, 2 rice and 1 bronebon soup. They asked type of chili among Luat, Green and Matah. We order each. I am not expert in chili but everyone agree the green chili is the fave.

My advise: never order small portion unless you are full....

Waiting time for food to be delivered to your table is between 5 - 15 minutes. Sharing platter is so tasty. You can taste the smokiness, the fatty, and the juices from the meat. If you're unsure of which to choose, just order the mix platter. Rumpu Rampe is delicious too. It's not that fresh but it's more than enough to help you fulfill your daily vegetable intake. Although the restaurant serves Rumpu Rampe as a complimentary to the meat platter, customers are more than welcome to order an additional dish, for an...
