Deli Indo. - Indonesian Restaurant

So many amazing authentic flavors on one plate! This was recommended to be by a friend from Indonesia. Mamy typical dishes from Indonesia and Bali.... Good selection of foods and unique drinks. Nice decorations. I'm sure reservations are a good idea on the weekends since it's fairly small. We ate early on a Sunday evening and it was not full, however. Casual atmosphere. Bathrooms located on a lower level accessible by stairs. High-quality, homemade fare! Will definitely go again; this was some of the best food I've had in a while. Highly recommended!!

I tried nasi Bali with beef. It’s good, but I wish it had a flavor profile more suited for Asian tastes. The Es Cendol is good, but the cendol pieces are too big to drink through the bamboo straw.

I'm quite excited to hear that there is a new indonesian restaurant in town. For a general statement: the food is quite pleasing and have an authentic spice level, but I can see that some people might have some critics. (But the one starred reviews in this restaurant were unfair.) It is just really hard to get everything right the first time opening a restaurant. As long as they strive to improve and know which critics are fair, they will go for a long ride :) And it is also really important for them to figure out what kind of restaurant they really are. Don't expect Deli Indo as a typical asian restaurant that will serve classic food like red or green curry, noodles or typical fried rice. The foods are (from my experience) specialty dishes that can only be found in specific restaurants in Indonesia. If you're feeling adventurous, this is the restaurant for you :) I asked for the recommendation from the owner, and she suggested "Ayam Betutu", It is tasty, but the owner should be more confident on her recommendation, it is more comforting and confidence inducing that we will have a great time. I have some worries regarding the taste of the food and spice level, it is pretty adjusted to the indonesian palates. As I saw in various restaurants that strive to be close to the taste of the home, they always in the end adjusted to the local palates, as it is really hard to be profitable on mainly indonesian people. Some foods can be more authentic in certain countries because the palates are pretty similar, and I am doubtful that authentic indonesian can exist without adjustment in europe. The texture of the chicken skin and the temperature of the meat are some points that might put off the locals. I was pretty much wondering the whole identity of the restaurant. The name "Deli" implies a small restaurant that has relatively cheap but tasty food, but the price range tells us otherwise, and the plating is pretty much unsuitable for the price range. My suggestion would be either plan a better plating (that is suitable for the price), or simplify the menu so that it did not cost soo much. Then again, the price in Hamburg is generally quite expensive. From my side, they really need to figure out who their main customers are, what kind of foods that people are generally going for. It is okay to change the menu once in a while. It is also okay to have a simple one page, one column menu. It is okay to cater to the locals a little bit. Asking the customers (expecially locals) more regularly about the specifics like texture, temperature, spiciness level, colours would be helpful, as the foods would be like an experimental experience for them, and they always have certain expectations on how foods should be. (As they generally didn't know how these indonesian food should be). First impressions decides of they will go back, and it might be too late to ask for suggestions if they have decided that they won't come back. I really wish they could figure out their identity, and improve their menu. As I said it is hard to be perfect in the first years of the service. Keep asking suggestions, keep observing, keep improving, and I hope they will last for a really long time. As an indonesian, I am satisfied with the food, but as someone who's been in german and a foodie for a really long time, I can see a lot of improvements to be made

Great food, it's a delight to have access to real Indonesian cuisine in Hamburg. I've only had nasi padang so far, but will definitely return to try the rest of the menu. Rendang beef was marvelous, nice and spicy and it melts on your tongue. Nice atmosphere, very kind service. Highly recommendable!

Very good Indonesian restaurant. Menu is kept simple with top Indonesian food favorites. The beef randang was spicy and flavorful. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant decor is very nice, with Indonesian decorations and art pieces.

The restaurant has a lovely concept. As an Indonesian, you’ll recognize the Megamendung motif and Wayang on the windows outside, and the interior gives off a charming Warung vibe. I tried Ayam Betutu, which was delicious, with well-balanced spices and tender chicken. Es Cendol, however, was underwhelming, though it looked impressive—the texture of the cendol was tough, and the coconut milk lacked freshness. Despite this, the restaurant is clean, including the restroom, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Wishing you success with continued improvements!

It has a warm and nice atmosphere. The location is nice, the service was fast. The toilet was clean. It could be much better with a little care. Thank you to Yolanda who introduced me to nasi goreng

Excellent service, taste of home. Would definitely recommend and come back again. Maybe guests can also be asked if they want the flavor to be adjusted to the local palate or kept original? So there’s something for everyone :) Vegan-options wise; I went with a non-meat eating friend and he thoroughly enjoyed his meal and atmosphere as well
