I never had Indonesian food before. Therefore, I can't speak on the authenticity. If we are just talking about food, it was amazing. The murtabak/fried wonton with beef was amazing. The filing was delicious and outside pastry was crispy. The tamarind sauce that came with it was a little too sweet and overpowering, but I didn't mind it.
