We had eaten there before, during a crazy festival last year--whoo, eee, that was crowded & noisy. This year we went on a Thursday and had a MUCH nicer experience. We had the riijstafel, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The wine was reasonably priced and very tasty. So go, already!

I have been to this amazing little place three times now, it so far, they are 3 for 3. The food is amazing. The owners are part of the experience. The story of how the two met and how this place came about, is the stuff of romance movies. The desserts are worth saving room for. The place is awesome.

We decided to try Krakatoa for our anniversary. It was our first time trying Indonesian food. We absolutely loved the food and the service was great. It won’t be too long before we go back for more. Make a reservation since the place can be quite popular- once you taste the food you’ll know why.

Luis was our server and he was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is limited to only a few items. But we got the mixed platter…chicken, lamb and beef… so flavorful. They have a sweet brown sauce I wish I could have a bottle of! Small place. Make a reservation. Order a bottle of wine and enjoy!!
