Why it matters
Why Status Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time
Indian vegetarian food is a small niche in Jakarta, where most restaurants cook with meat and many are halal. Status is one of the few places where a family can have a thali, dosa or chaat without checking each dish.
That matters for older travellers and Jain or vegetarian families. A reliable pure vegetarian kitchen means you can eat without asking about stock, lard or egg in each dish. It is also a useful reference point if you are staying in a hotel with limited vegetarian choices.

How to experience it
Order a thali if you want a complete meal. The restaurant lists Gujarati, Punjabi and South Indian thalis, with dosa, idli and sambhar, tandoor dishes, snacks, desserts and Chinese-style dishes such as noodles and Manchurian. Papads are reportedly served as a starter, and prices are described by diners as reasonable.
If you avoid onion and garlic, ask on arrival. The restaurant's site does not list this as an official option, though a diner reports the kitchen can do it, so treat it as a request and not a guarantee. The kitchen is described as pure vegetarian, with no egg or meat on its pages, but if you are vegan or Jain, ask staff about ghee, butter, paneer and cooking methods.
Vegan diners can ask staff to cook with oil rather than ghee, as the Spinach directory notes, and a marked vegan menu with a few dishes is listed. Allow time for traffic. The restaurant is in North Jakarta, near Kemayoran and Ancol, so it combines easily with an Ancol day.
