Our overall experience was good. We felt very rushed though. We had barely taken a bite of our appetizers and the server was ready to take our orders for mains. Promptly at 9pm the music was turned off, and the lights were turned on. We were not planning on staying till midnight but maybe be a bit more tactful?

I would not consider the food at INDO as authentic at all. They even have pad thai lol. Food was all right, service was minimal, desserts were better than food.

Dining in the outdoor area is a pleasure. Excellent ambience and sound level. The food was fairly good with interesting variations of classical dishes. For example, the spring rolls were served with an intense spicy sauce instead of the usual dipping sauce. The pad Thai was OK, but improved when we requested lime to improve the spice level. The service was remarkably hit, or miss, considering a relatively small number of diners on the evening we visited.

Pad Thai was mushy and lacked flavor. $35 pepper shrimp came with 4 pieces of shrimp and the noodles were greasy and buttery. Overall it came out to more than $60 a person plus tip for mediocre food. Ambiance is great and a nice place for a special occasion but the food quality has declined

The steak was probably the worst steak I’ve ever had. It was extremely tough and a significant portion of it was not edible since there was a lot of fat and tendons. I ate at the restaurant before, and it was much much better. Unfortunately the food quality has degraded significantly

Suboptimal food. The sambal tasted like it was store bought but the cocktails were great! We ordered the lamb korma (very fatty cut with over cooked mushy texture potato), Chilean sea bass (very delicious), basil chicken (missing seasoning in meat), the green bean sambal has a slightly unexpected sweet after taste.

I really like the black pepper jumbo shrimp over noodles dish. I like to substitute the noodles for vegetables. The flavor is amazing and the meal is just right where I do not feel guilty indulging dessert or a cocktail.

Decor is a big bland, service ok, food is pretty good, the noodles were pretty big! Odd odor inside, suggesting need for better ventilation. Just feels like this place could be so much better with minimal effort.

The food was delicious and the servers were incredibly attentive. It’s on the pricier side, but definitely worth a splurge now and then. It was a little loud inside, which didn’t bother me, but if you are sensitive to a lot of chatter, consider booking yourself in the outdoor space.

The food was more Southeast Asian fusion than specifically Indonesian. The service was not great. I had to ask 3 times for a glass of water and although we clearly asked for separate checks we were at first given a single check. When we eventually got our separate checks the server made no attempt to make sure we each got the right one. The ambience on the patio was non existent. The street view of the restaurant was so subdued it was hard to spot, and the instruction to use the entrance on the side street was not visible until you had already driven past it.

Great drinks...the food could be a little hotter coming out to the table. It was a little loud due to the lounge area by the bar. Would be nice to have some separation from that area.

We arrived on time for a 6:00 p.m. reservation. I had noted on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. The food was good and came promptly, but we felt like we were being rushed the whole time by our server. Which was odd as there were no parties waiting to be seated when we left - there were several empty tables. I still love the food here and will probably return, but maybe not for a special dinner. It was not a relaxing vibe.
