About SEMAJA Menteng

Nestled in the vibrant Menteng district, this popular establishment offers a delightful Indonesian dining experience. Diners consistently praise the elegant food presentation and inviting ambiance, contributing to its impressive 4.8-star rating. While the flavors are appreciated, some note specific dishes could be refined, though the freshness of ingredients like prawns is highlighted. The addition of unique dishes like Papeda Ikan Kuah Kuning, enjoyed in a modern setting, is a particular draw. With features like outdoor seating and the availability of cocktails, it's a well-rounded choice for both intimate dinners and group gatherings, offering a memorable culinary exploration in the heart of Jakarta.

4.8 / 5.0(1,894 reviews)

The food presentation and ambience were super. I am a foreigner visiting Jakarta. I have no experience in tasting Indonesian crusine. However, the flavours were average for me. The prawn was fresh and the taste was blend. The long beans could be improved. The rice was nice taste. The dessert was not so good. Service was extremely slow. Shout out to Glenn The Chef who brought out Papeda Ikan Kuah Kuning to their menu. I think this is the first time I got to enjoy it in a modern Indonesian restaurant. Their server is very knowledgeable. They can explain every dish they have in an easy way. They even taught me how to use chopsticks to eat Papeda. Nice ambiance. They also curated the Indonesian music on their playlist to suit the atmosphere. First time go here, and my first impression is, how bad the service is. Sorry to say, but from the vallet parking server is not friendly, I ask for other option if i dont want vallet (since I come in weekday and not lunch / dinner hour), then welcoming usher also not help to open the door (i think this is basic sop for almost restaurant) The waitress around toilet also not helpful when I look for the toilet location (signage is not clear, male and female toilet mix) The climax is, we order wine (forget the name) and the price in menu clearly mention 885k, then wine come and everything served as usual. After the bottle empty, suddenly the supervisor and server come again to us, said that the server did mistake to serve different type of wine, and say the wine that we already took is 1500k 😌 When I ask the solution, supervisor said if customer willing to pay full or the server will bear the excess 😌 Literally not a solution, and of course we dont want to bear to the server and finally after negotiation we got 10% discount, but actually I'm not satisfied with how they treat us. Hopefully, you can improve your service, especially how to handle customer In term of product knowledge, i can say your server is good enough Lastly, the food itself is good, the outstanding is the dessert for me I like the es teler and colenak

The ambience is amazing with a warm and elegant interior that makes dining here feel special. The food was excellent — I ordered Iga Konro Bakar and Kikil Masak Sambal Hijau, both full of flavor and beautifully presented. Service was outstanding as well; I was assisted by mas Diaz, who was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. A wonderful dining experience overall — highly recommended!
