    Food was amazing and the cocktail list was enticing, however I wasn't drinking so I enjoyed a house-made lemon and ginger tea instead. This tea was delicious. We started with the tuna ceviche and chicken ribs, which were both tasty, however the ribs were a stand-out with a very generous portion. For mains we chose the nasi goreng with duck and fried sweet and sour barramundi. Both dishes were lovely, and again generous portions. I particularly enjoyed the sweet and sour sauce with fresh pineapple and the perfectly cooked barramundi. Service was very friendly and I enjoyed the ambience.

    Everything was delicious, but beware of some spice (although not overpowering). Also a great selection of cocktails.

    I love Indonesia and its diverse cuisine. The food at Makan is carefully prepared and beautifully cooked. My OPOR LABU was nice but fairly bland. I had expected more flavour highlights. The Jackfruit CENDOL PANNA COTTA was refreshing and finished off the meal perfectly. The ambience is excellent with the design of the space keeping the noise down and allowing for conversations. Service was friendly and informative, although on this busy Friday night it was hard to play down staff when ready to order.

    Good and attentive service. Menu has been updated. Prices are fair enough for current times. Set meal for 2pax was worth the order. Overall a great experience. Only slight caution is it can get quite noisy.
