I was expecting the foods and eat them in the car while we re on the road, but no utensils were provided for take out order ??! Little bit made my stomach get more upset because I ve got to wait longer to get utensils from somewhere else.

We had a wonderful dinner here, but we were turned off because their "suggested tip" amounts are over-reported. While this plausibly could be without intention, this is a completely unacceptable business practice, the restaurant is profiting from it, and the management is fully culpable for it. Fix it. What you're doing is effectively fraud, and it betrays our trust in you.

Singaporean - ish food. ( Not really Singaporean) good quality . Service could be better, a bit slow and our table was next to the door that they continue to leave open and it was cold out.

Start with the roti and you are off to a good meal. Main dishes are a little more expensive but the food is great and the atmosphere sophisticated but relaxed. Patio or indoor seating and a happy hour make for an easy evening too.

Good place, but could be a little bit better.
My Duck Kapitan was really good, but not great. One person of our corporate dinner got his dish 20 minutes later than all others since they mistakely put his dish to an another table originally. And people who brought our dishes were not sure, which of those were ours and which not. Plus their clothes wasn't neat.
Finally the interior of the building doesn't have any character and needs to be renovated.

Very nice restaurant with some exceptional Indonesian/Malaysian dishes. Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Has a great outdoor seating are that seems to be great for events or even large parties. Has indoor seating of course and a nice long bar.

Just tried a few different dishes and all were excellent. Started with beer on tap (Trumer and Sapporo). Had a stuffed Roti appetizer. Then on to Nasi Goreng (fried rice with egg and shrimp) and Gado Gado (green beans, cabbage, coconut). Yum. Would definitely come back to this nice place.

Excellent restaurant in Palo Alto area with different dishes. I enjoyed everything I had here. they have a paratha which is awesome with their sauce. The noodles and rice was good too. Good enough parking space available for people who come to this restaurant

Nice restaurant. Food was good. I had the Ossobuco with red curry sauce. It was good and spicy. My husband had the short ribs. Also good. Although they came out so fast we didn't have our drinks yet.The girls at the front not the most polite. I give them a meh.. The waiter we had was good. Drinks a little over priced and not great. A Cosmo $13 and Wasn't that good. Glad we tried, may go back. Not sure.

Sorry, but no class here.

Sorry, but no class here.
Noisy and waiters who interrupt your meal 5 times to see if everything is ok. Food was decent but no atmosphere and kinda pricey -- why?
Will not return.

The Roti Prata appetizer was excellent. Indo sampler was good, not great. It is a bummer that they only have a couple beers on tap. Atmosphere is nice. Our server was pleasant, but she was being trained and, ironically, the person training her was sub par, and a bit abrasive.

I ordered the Nasi Goreng and I am very disappointed. It s closer to Chinese fried rice then authentic Indonesian food. Can t even taste any Indonesian spices in it. :( never ordering here again.

The martabak is really unique - shaped like a samosa but tastes like a traditional martabak. The gado-gado is great too... great place to visit for homesick Indonesians, and the patio at the back is great for events

A group of friends and I (4 of us in total) split a few vegetarian appetizers (samosa, roti prata) and entrees (nasi goreng, green bean sambal, wok friend eggplant). It was all quite good, although the appetizers (in particular the sauces) were a bit better than the entrees. The price of our meal was very reasonable -- less than $15 per person including tax and tip -- and was the perfect amount of food. The non-vegetarian prices are a bit steep.

I figured I'd make the most of my checkup at Stanford Hospital and check out one of my bookmarks in the area, which brought me to Indo for lunch. It was pretty dead when I showed up around 1130, but once noon rolled around, the place was packed.

While prices were a bit on the higher side, they did have a few lunch items that rang up for a bit less. A bit of perusing, indecision, and asking for feedback led me to go with their:

* Roti Prata - Different from other roti I've had in the past, theirs was on the thicker and doughier side, but much, much more enjoyable. For those who've had the thicker variety of Taiwanese scallion pancakes, you'll know exactly what I mean. The yellow dipping sauce was also quite excellent, albeit on the salty side, so dip accordingly.

* Papaya Curried Beef - Braised beef shank in a red curry sauce. Tender, flavorful, and fantastically delicious. But, like the roti sauce, this was also on the saltier side, and I found myself running short of rice the more I kept eating.

I can't entirely decide between a 3.5 and 4 for Indo, but I'll go with the higher for now, with the following caveat: the food is pretty darn tasty, but be prepared for heavy-handed seasoning.

***Accessibility Info***

Venue - A large restaurant split between an outdoor, tented seating area, as well as proper indoor seating. The tables are all accessible, but given the tight positioning of the tables outside in relation to the heat lamps, spacing leaves a little to be desired. It was already a tight squeeze when I showed up and the place was empty: when I left, I had to ask a few people to move in order to squeeze past.

Bathroom - Didn't try them.

Loved the food. Very friendly service. Martabak and Salmon Pangang were my highlights. Sea bass & Lobster pad thai were good too. I had not tried the Gado Gado before. T'was good, though more potato than I expected. Wok fried eggplant was OK.

They serve some pretty good food. I d recommend outdoor seating during lunch time, it s a bit too dark indoor. Try their lamb, amazing. Curry is nice too. Pad Thai~I d skip, nothing special there. We got the appetizer platter, also just ok, nothing wowed is. Pleasant service tho. Considerably quick service too.

My friends and I love this place! This is our second time at this place. Bartender Alex and Aaron are wonderful. We loved the experience, the appetizers and drinks are amazing. We would definitely be coming back here again soon.

Very unique flavors, but wasn't mind-blowingly amazing. However, it is definitely worth a shot. Service was pretty good, prices relatively decent. I highly recommend the mango dessert, the roti prata, the sampler appetizer, and the seabass. The eggplant was subpar; so were the spring rolls and the lamb korma.

Has to be the most flavorful southeast Asian food in the Bay area. All the dishes were fantastic(anything with the sambal sauce is outstanding) and the patio area is done up so tastefully. Great service to boot. Genuinely worth the dine-in experience during the lockdown.
