Resto Indo Vegan: what visitors should know first
Worth the drive for vegans who want rice-and-side-dish Indonesian meals, not salads. It is in a residential part of West Jakarta, open Monday to Saturday in daytime hours, so plan a lunch visit with a car and driver.

Why it matters
Why Resto Indo Vegan is worth your time
Most Indonesian restaurants are hard going for a vegan, because the dishes that look plant-based are often made with shrimp paste or egg. Here the premise is reversed, and the traditional repertoire is rebuilt in mushroom and soy.
The location also takes a visitor out of the hotel districts into everyday West Jakarta, near the old Chinese-Indonesian quarter. It is a practical meal for a day that includes Glodok, which is a short drive away, and it gives a vegan option nearby where street stalls often serve pork.

How to experience it
The kitchen is described as serving traditional Indonesian food, so expect rice with several side dishes rather than a single plated main. Spinach names rendang made from mushroom, fried enoki, crispy mushroom, a kalasan rice set, nasi pete and fresh vegetable sides. Mock meat appears in several of them.
The room is called simple, cosy and family-friendly, with fast and friendly service. That suits a group with mixed ages, because there is no formal ceremony and no long wait. Come before the late afternoon, since closing is at 19:00.
The page says the whole menu is vegan, but mock-meat dishes can use sauces you cannot see. If you avoid onion, garlic or a particular additive, say so when ordering. Pete, the bitter bean in nasi pete, has a strong smell and taste that some visitors dislike.
Plan with confidence
