The grilled eggplant was my favorite, it was crazy savory and had a generous blanket of crisped shallots. The curry dip that came with the roti was so good, it had a nice kick to it- we wished the dish came with slightly more of that.

Holy moly this food is amazing. Every single plate we tried was delicious and we all raved about every plate. The ceviche, to the eggplant, to the coconut fried chicken. The place is on the pricier side (compared to other regular restaurants in the area-- but this is no regular restaurant!) as the plates are tapas style and meant to be family style and shared but they are all quite small which left us wanting MORE! but for the quality and taste and top tier everything, I get it and will be back!

Best food in north county hands down. My friend introduced me to this gem and I've been coming back ever since. Nothing beats their Nasi Goreng. It is so so delicious. This place is the kind of place that just doesn't miss. Their drinks are good, the food is good, the ambience and service is good. I've tried almost everything on their menu and the grilled roti is a must try. I could drink a bowl of their Ju. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes Expect an amazing experience the moment you walk thru the door. There's a reason it's so hard to get a reservation here!

This restaurant fills up quickly. But if you get there right and open, you don’t even need reservations. The staff is very laid-back but the food is super sophisticated. Be sure to order one of their desserts. It was my favorite part of the visit.

Service was decent even for a busy night and the place had great ambience. I was expecting a really delicious meal based on the reviews and the fact they were able to obtain a Michelin star. Do look up the portion sizes with the photos so you know what to expect. However, we were disappointed overall with the taste and flavors of the meal that we just decided to leave half full. 1) Roti - this one was actually the best part of the meal because it tasted great, not as flakey as I’d like but still very delicious curry sauce dip. No complaints about this one. 2) Chicken Skewers - we received this half burnt. I thought maybe it came like this normally because the kitchen had no problem serving this as is. However, when we bit into it, we were basically eating charcoal. We didn’t want to make a fuss and send it back, but was surprised they would send this a table because it didn’t taste like chicken anymore. The glaze was also not good or special. 3) Nasi Goreng - this tasted ok, but was a bit on the blander side so it wasn’t worth the price. We wanted to try their other dishes, but after what we experienced, we just wanted to leave to eat something better :(
