Historia

Top choice in Jakarta


Served in a hip Kota warehouse with soaring ceilings, big art murals and a retro-industrial vibe, Historia's dishes hail from around the archipelago. Try bandeng goreng sambal (grilled milkfish with steamed rice and Balinese sambal), sate ayam (grilled chicken satay with rice and peanut sauce), bakmie godog Jawa (Javanese noodles with a spicy broth) and plenty of tasty mixed-rice dishes.
