Kartika For
delicious & traditional Indonesian food. We recommend trying Rijsttafel,
which is literally translated to Rice Table. It consists of many small dishes
with meat, fish, veggies (vegetarian options available too) of different
flavors, textures, colors & degrees of spiciness served with rice. We call
it an Indonesian tapas. Make sure to reserve a table beforehand!
