Very disappointing experience. Service was lovely, quick & attentive, atmosphere is really nice. Bar is a bit hidden which is too bad but that area looks super cosy.

But the food is really not hitting the spot. Everything was absolutely tasteless. Samossas were oily, no spice whatsoever. Pumpkin soup was watered down and didn't even taste like pumpkin. The ayam sidemen my husband had was tasteless as well & cold in the middle. My bebek megoreng, which says marinated on the menu, must be marinated with water because I couldnt taste any spice (and not talking about spicy). Also they gave me a carcass piece which had so little meat I couldnt even get a proper bite. And for Indonesian food, it's not considered cheap, so I was expecting a lot better.

Maybe it was not the usual cook that night, i don't know, but we didn't like anything. When the staff asked if we enjoy we said not really. No flavors, first answer was : people don't like too salty. So it seems like the staff is well trained in service (again very attentive) but has no idea what to do when someone is not happy with the dish & they are not trained about the flavors etc. A shame because it shows they want to provide an elevated experience, but the food is just not at that...

I wish i could give more but i cant!! The food was not so good, carrot soup and potatoes soup where a bit flavourless. We needed to had salt and pepper to have some taste. I order the spring roll they were served with ketchup! 🥺. Food came but we had no silver were it took 4 min before receiving them and then the napkins ot also took a long time. ( good side, they were real fabric napkin and they smell really good) the satay lilit was tasteless and grilled chicken way too cooked.

Positive: i really like my Caipiroska. Although on the small side, but it was 45k -25%

The place is cute, beautiful decoration. You would expect a much better food quality. There is only 4 tables and a bar.

If you go for a drink ( happy hour all night -25%) for the sunset with a little bit it is a great place. For diner… i wouldn’t recommend yet.

The service was very polite, she tried her best. Was open for only 3 weeks. They need to work in their food...

Wow wow wow what an incredible restaurant! We were so happy to find this place as we had such a lovely evening here. The staff are AMAZING, so attentive, professional and seriously can’t do enough for you! The restaurant itself is beautiful. The only reason I have to give it 4 star is firstly, they unfortunately did not have the Duck dish I really wanted, but wasn’t too much of an issue as I picked the Balinese Yellow Curry. The curry itself was really nice, however there wasn’t enough chicken, too many potatoes and the vegetables were a little undercooked.

That being said, everything else here was perfect. All our cocktails were delicious. If you don’t fancy any other desserts, I highly recommend you have the Chocolate Martini, this was insane!!

Thank you to all the staff who looked after us on the evening of the 6th May 2024. We will definitely be back on our return to Sidemen in a...
