Real Indonesian Restaurants

[cloggy]

I have tried several 'Indonesian' restaurants in the UK that I found on tinternet and they are all seriously crap.

I live in South Bucks and before driving miles again to another disappointment can anybody tell me of a real Indonesian Restaurant that serves Rijst Tafels that can compare with the ones you get in Holland.

Thanks.

Satay Bar in Coldharbour Lane Brixton?

There's a 'fusion' style place on Eatson Street in High Wycombe that might have what you're after. Ate there once and found it Ok if a little pricey. Can't think of anywhere else in the area that sells Indonesian food though.

You could try Bali Bali on Shaftesbury Avenue which seems to have rave reviews.

A bit far away, but I've heard that Monty's in Kingston is quite good.

Thanks will try the Wycombe one because that is very close.

Not so sure it'll hit the right spot for you. Some digging and I eventually found their website.

That is indeed a very good Thai restaurant but it ain't Indonesian for which I am gasping now.
Most of the places that I went to that said they did Indonesian had some kind of Malaysian fusion stuff not the real stuff you get in Dutch Indonesian restaurants.

Would I be wrong in saying that Dutch Indonesian food is not the same as what you get in Indonesia? (a bit like the fact Indian food in UK is a long way away from real Indian food?).

This would explain why you can't find good Indonesian in the UK because it's the REAL thing!

Just remembered a place opened up on "The Parade" in Bourne End not too long ago. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called although I have a feeling it was another Thai place. Other end from Kongs Peking.

eta.. Nope, another Thai place http://www.bangkoklounge.com/

Sorry can't think of anything else/

Dutch Indonesian food is pretty authentic although far more luxurious than in most restaurants in Indonesia.
Although I am not a fan of Indian food there are also Indian restaurants in Holland that are like UK Indian places probably run by Indians from the UK.
I would like to find an Indonesian resaurant in the UK that is run by either Dutch Indosesian or Indonesians.

I know, although we've never met. There are quite a few of us around that area.
