Why it matters
Why Oh! Bombay Indian Kitchen is worth your time
Mumbai-style street snacks are rare in Jakarta, where Indian restaurants tend towards North Indian curry and tandoori. A place that lists vada pao and chai answers a different craving, and for travellers on a long trip a familiar snack can be more welcome than another curry.
It is not a pure vegetarian restaurant and does not claim to be, so the value is in variety, not in diet assurance. If your household is strict, use the pure vegetarian places listed in this guide, and keep this for a mixed group where some members eat meat and others look for snacks.

How to experience it
Treat it as a snack-and-chai stop with a main course if hunger demands. What's New Indonesia describes street food and comfort classics: dum biryani, lahori chicken karahi, vada pao and chai. Two of those are meat dishes, so vegetarians should look to the snack end of the menu and ask which items are made without meat, egg or stock.
Vada pao is a fried potato snack in a bun in Mumbai, but this guide has no menu to confirm how this kitchen prepares it, so ask. The restaurant is not described as vegetarian, so Jain and strict vegetarian travellers should treat it as a mixed kitchen. Order chai for an easy, familiar drink.
Kemang is a nightlife and dining district, so it is busiest in the evening. Go earlier for a quieter room and an easier drive.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Ask which dishes are meat-free
