Semasa Dulu — Restaurant in Jakarta

Spacious beautiful restaurant in the heart of Urban Forest. Perfect for dining, familylunch, group seating. Well decorated Indonesian restaurant, they really worked on the restaurant and ambiance.

Some people love the experience, when you walk in theres a stronga spa essence welcoming you. For me personally, I dont like it; this is a restaurant and I want to eat, not to spa. My advise to the resto; put a much less amount of essence in the air and change the scent that suits dining more.

Urban Forest is dog friendly, so its perfect for animal lovers, here at Semasa you can bring your dogs in the outdoor area and have a great time with your friends or family, with good food.

The food is great, well taken care off. However a little bit overpriced and i.m.o.; to high for either the quantity or certainty of quality of the food. Service is good. Kind and well established attention, speed, eye for support. Thank you Pak Agus, we loved our dinner and your kindness.

Advise: Iga Bakar No Advise: tongue sate (this meat was not grilled, seemed like warm sushi. Advise to resto; grill the tongue first so there is a crisp, then add the sauce, this will be an excellent eating experience)

Drinks: only tried one orange mocktail which was perfect and recommendable. But yea just again.. its all a bit on the high price.

I will come back someday and anyone considering visiting this resto, its definitely...

One of the best Indonesian restaurants I've visited! Semasa Dulu offers excellent service, a cozy and nostalgic ambiance, and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Their food is rich with rempah-rempah (traditional spices), truly highlighting the authentic flavors of Indonesia. My favorite menu is the Iga Penyet Sambal Daun Kemangi — tender ribs perfectly paired with aromatic basil sambal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Indonesian dining experience! Whether you're looking for a relaxed meal with family or gathering with friends, Semasa Dulu stands out as a destination worth visiting. It successfully captures the spirit of Indonesia — in every aroma, every bite, and every heartfelt...
