Batavia Kitchen City Square

Delicious Indonesian cuisine, nice variety of dishes and sambal available. Tasty hot soups also Baso, Tom yum also beef n chicken dishes. The desserts are also very nice and prices are fair n not expensive. Seating is comfortable n surroundings are modern n clean.

I like the food. I had ayam masak merah. Trust me, its superb. Also had ayam penyet, also good. The best thing was, FREE icr cream for those who dine-in. You can choose your ice cream. I took durian lah.

Location abit hidden away. Location was quiet at the time I was there. There's room for improvement on service staff. Food was surprisingly.. Satisfying good.

We made the mistake of both ordering the ayam bakar, a dish which we have had at other eateries and always enjoyed. The chicken marinade was nice, the sides were very good, but the chicken, the star of the dish, had been very much overcooked. The meat was dry and its fibres came apart in strings, much like breast meat. While a little char is part and parcel of the dish (and indeed, one of its great attractions), the skin on one of the thighs had been burnt to the point of being inedible. But otherwise, everything was really tasty, so the chicken was a particularly painful, wasted opportunity.

Terrible beef rendang. Incredibly low quality beef, cooked so that it is hard rather than soft, and the sauce colour and taste has got nothing to do with rendang. I doubt that Batavia is an Indonesian restaurant.
