   I was intrigued by the thought of getting Indonesian food during our trip to Aruba so I booked Nusa and some glowing reviews convinced me. It was truly a wonderful experience. Its location is by the marina and it’s dressed in a cozy, inviting decor that takes you away to another land. The service was impeccable with no hiccups whatsoever. Our server Esil-sorry I know she is Dutch-sorry for the wrong spelling. She was such a great help as we ordered 7 choices of plates to share among 4 of us. It’s an excellent set up to pick dishes from 16 choices-we choice to do 7 for the fixed price and she recommended all 7 . We loved everything-the most ohhhs and she’s came from the chicken skewers, the baby ribs, the shredded beef!!! The shrimp, beef stew, veggies in coconut sauce and spring rolls were a hit as well though. Truly a gem tucked away by the marina! I went back to Iberostar to let the concierge know to recommend it to clients. Bravo!

   Very meat centric. Meals are based on two people sharing. Choose 5,7 or 9 shareable dishes for a fixed price. Of the approximately 15 choices, most are meats like ribs, stews, braised. Very few vegetable choices and they ran out of the primary one. Wine list is basic. Flavor was not bad but not exciting. Service was not intuitive.

   Excellent, interesting menu. Our group loved being able to share and try so many dishes. Appreciated that they had separate portions of each for both sides of the table, made it less annoying to pass dishes all around. Everything we ate was good, but the grilled duck and spring rolls were my faves! Service was overall very good, only the bar seemed a little backed up so drinks were a bit slow - could have been a one off though so don’t let that stop you! Overall a great meal, would certainly go again if I went back to Aruba!

   Went for lunch. Great spot with a view. Service was good. Met owner very nice. Quantity was generous. A little too spicy for me. I did ask for mild. Just ok for me. ✅

    We really enjoyed the experience and the family that owns this restaurant. The food was fantastic!! We also found it to be some of the best value on the island.
