I had stopped coming here after trying so many times, despite the fact that I LOVE Indonesian food and live nearby. The problem is that it is just so inconsistent, you never know if your order is going to be amazing or awful. We gave it a try again recently with 2 takeout orders of Nasi Padang and were unfortunately disappointed again. The taste was actually great (although the rice was swimming in such an incredible amount of grease that we couldn’t finish at least half of it). The main problem was the meat - one order came with one huge chunk of meat that was literally 95% pure fat, and so completely inedible. The other order had a little more actual meat, though it was quite tough (and fatty) also, not the melt-in-your-mouth experience you hope for from a long-stewed dish like rendang. I want to love this place but seems I’ll continue to have to go out of the neighborhood for more consistently good Indonesian food.

Cash only Big portions, the place was recommended to me by a friend from Indonesia as authentic one. There were a lot of Indonesians eating which was a good sign. Good prices, big portions. Very big menu and lots of items to choose from. Fresh and delicious

Of course they provide halal Indonesian cuisine. Nasi Bungkus Padang with Rendang is the most recommended, although other dishes are also delicious and authentic such as Nasi Goreng Mawut, Nasi Remes, Nasi Pecel Lele and so on. The portions are also large enough to fill you up. The service is fast and friendly. What's even better is that there is a prayer area, although small but very helpful for travelers like us.

I'm from the Netherlands and grew up eating Indonesian quite frequently, but since I moved to Berlin a few years ago I haven't had any. Finally decided to pop by Nusantara and it easily met my expectations. Loved the smokiness of the nasi goreng, we shared everything we ordered and honestly liked all of it! Very nice staff as well, cash preferred, def recommend!

important note. they only accept cash. its few steps from trem station. taste good and price is reasonable with the large portion. do try the huge hot bowl of bakso. also, few steps away from the restaurant, there is groceries shop where you can stop by for halal provisions. worth the trip there. toiket is clean n there is small corner provided for muslim prayer.

Tried Indonesian cuisine first time with my friends. My friends came here before too, for me it was first time. We tried Nasi Goreng Chicken and beef. And a chicken menu (forget the name). Nasi goreng chicken tasted better than beef. The chicken menu tasted good as well however the amount of rice was very less. So for food: 4/5 Service and atmosphere: 5/5

It was my first time trying Indonesian food and I found it quite delicious. The Lele Gorang dish was delicious but the fish had mostly just skin so it wasn't a filling meal at all. Bakwan Sayur, which is like fried vegetables was tasty but very oily. Nasi Padang was an interesting dish, it had a nice Cardamom flavor and a few fruits or vegetables that I could not recognize. The Es Cincau drink and the traditional Indonesian tea were amazing, I highly recommend them.

As good as or better than in the Netherlands and half the price! Do yourself the favor of going here and enjoy the food with your hands. Absolutely fantastic staff, prices, selection and food!

Authentic Indonesian food, amazing quality, good value for money. The duck was tender, savoury, and not rubbery. The empek was so-so and lacking the fish taste. The cendol was phenomenal! A perfect place to seek home-sick comfort foods far away from home. The atmosphere inside could be improved with minor firniture revamps, but still would totally visit this place again when in Berlin.
