Indonesian Grill Rest Jimbaran

Really 3.5 stars.
We wanted to try «Rice Table» at an Indonesian restaurant in Netherlands. This one is actually advertised on the hotel issued map so I walked by to check it out. We decided to give it a try the next day. There was a wait, but we decided to get a drink at a nearby bar. When our table was ready we sat and looked over the menu. I choose the Sate version of the Rice Table so that it would be easier to share via skewers. There was a mix up when they brought out the food and we had extra plates that should have gone to other tables. The table was full of food and we dug in. The flavors are great and filling. We also ordered frog legs which was my favorite. The service was slow and it took a while to pay our bill. The interior is nothing fancy but clean.

It was a smart decision! We were completely starving and when we saw «special offer, 4 dishes 24,99» we didn’t doubt! This place was waiting our arrival.
It seems a small restaurant but it isn’t as tiny as the first overview you imagine from the façade. The meal was amazing. Everything well cooked; the rice, the noodles, the fried chicken starters, the typical soup (maybe my favorite because was so concentrated) and the desserts. Nothing to write about the meal =)
However, they had a big mistake… The service was too slow. I can understand maybe ten or twenty minutes between you get a table and the first starter is served, but forty? No… They also arrived too late between the soup and the main dish (at least thirty minutes). I hope this happened cause they had a difficult table with twelve girls at same time. They have to learn about this problem and improve new dynamics in the kitchen!
I recomend the place if you want to experience indonesian food and if you have enough time to relax yourself!

Dinner at Jimbaran never disappoints. Great authentic Indonesian food for good prices and a very pleasant and friendly staff. Every single time.

love this restaurant! You can find no typical dishes as served in other indonesian restaurants here. The taste is original; the dishes are not compromised to the european tastebud.

Two of my Dutch friends took me here when I went to visit them in The Hague. It is in a quaint part of town that apparently used to be «the wrong side of the tracks» many years ago, but is now perfectly fine and filled with tons of great shops and such.
The food was really great. A general tip for ethnic food in Europe: If the country is the other nation’s former colonizer, the food is probably top notch therein (i.e. Indian in England, Vietnamese in France, and Indonesian in The Netherlands, etc.). We had the taster platters (I forget what they are called), but we got one for two people and it was plenty of food for three and really a great variety of tastes and textures. I definitely recommend this if you are new to Indonesian food. Noodles, curries, satay and the like, with a very different flavor palette than Thai, Chinese, Burmese, or Indian food, though containing hints of all four… Combined to make a taste uniquely Indonesian!
And of course, like everywhere in The Netherlands… their English was flawless.
If you are visiting this country, it would be a sin to miss out on Indonesian food, and I would definitely go back to this establishment if I were to ever find myself in The Hague again, which hopefully I will.
