Hava Restaurant and Cafe Bintaro (Arabic & Western Food) — Restaurant in Pondok Aren

A return customer here!

After trying this place to ourselves and bringing friends and family here multiple times, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone. Hava just keeps improving in so many ways—the flavors, facilities, atmosphere, service, even the food presentation. Whether you’re looking for a place to take your family or friends for a feast or just a nice place to chill and snack or have dessert, this place caters to all your needs.

They got indoor and outdoor seatings, ample air-conditioned space at the second floor for guests with bigger groups, they got coffee cakes and pastries, a playground for kids, the mind-blowing nasi kambing (my favorite) and mouthwatering pizzas, and enough parking space for 6-7 cars.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The grilled platters are always a steal deal, the pizzas are tasty and great for sharing, the adani tea is to die for, the turkish coffee is amazing (bold and right amount of bitter), even the spaghetti we ordered for my niece tasted great too despite being an out of their specialty type of cuisine.

I would say Hava caters to all kinds of people, which makes it great for groups. Yet their flavors don’t disappoint no matter the type of cuisine. Oh and their french fries are also my favorite (would I end up typing everything...

What an iftar experience ❤❤❤

Fruits plate 10/10 Shawarma 10/10 Nasi Kambing 10/10

Food Service and Taste 10/10

We booked the iftar and dinner menu one day before due to Ramadan. We were welcomed with a room reserved with iftar fruits and water served. Right after Maghreb we received all ordered food.

Shawarma and Nasi Kambing came hot and on time. One item Grilled Chicken took some time and waiter requested me to wait for 15 mins. He apologized for the delay.

It's totally understandable because of so much work load because of houseful.

I requested for cancelling Grilled Chicken because I was already full HAHA

Later when I received my takeaway I was surprised to know I got the Grilled Chicken for FREE. The owner Mr. Mohammed was kind enough to offer it because he accepted there was a small mistake in kitchen...

Moments like these make me fall in love with Hava.

I wasn't upset about the delay. In fact I was sorry for cancelling because I got full but he still insisted I accept the food.

Anyone who visits Hava can manage to pay for all the food but with such positive gestures you win the customers ❤

I am definitely sold out on this one. Every time I'll make food plans with family or friends, I'll...

This is your hidden gem. A little tricky getting here on g-maps, set off the road to the side, it's easy to miss. What you'll find is a hidden oasis with outdoor seating, a pleasant interior and friendly staff. The simple menu has traditional Arabic fare with an Indo twist, everything was exceptional. The grilled mixed plate was a great sampler, even if the lamb was quite chewy. The variety and preparation were spot-on, the shawarma plate was equally excellent, with a lightly crsipy basting in the pita, it was the perfect bit of crunch. The drinks menu is beyond good, with fresh fruit smoothies bursting with flavor. The latte was also very good. Overall a wonderful find and one we'll re-visit. If you want chill, great food in a amazing...
