Still, the five below are some of the new taverns that we recommend are worth trying. Each of them possesses a distinctive style and is worthy of consideration, whether for a solo foodie experience or a celebratory feast with friends, family, and loved ones.
Burma Noodles & Curry Jakarta
Located on the ground floor of Arden Grove, South Jakarta, this latest addition to the Jakarta culinary scene introduces authentic Burmese dishes, bringing the rich, vibrant flavours of Myanmar to the city’s gourmands. Here at Burma, every bowl is a canvas, consisting of layered spices, delicate textures and bold flavours that come together in perfect harmony—crafted for those who appreciate food as art. Burma is where tradition meets modern comfort, rooted in Burmese flavours but elevated for today’s table. Burmese bouillabaisse (mixed seafood curry) and Burmese steamed chicken with soya sauce are some of the must-try dishes.

Yakiniku Ten – Kelapa Gading
Having recently launched its latest branch in the vibrant Kelapa Gading neighbourhood, Yakiniku Ten—true to its namesake—delights with the best yakiniku cuts possible. From the very soft touch of a rare cut to the firm-but-springy bite of a medium cut, every degree matters here at Yakiniku Ten. All the steak and yakiniku lovers in Jakarta must try the restaurant’s Signature Course: thick-cut premium steaks as much as the diner may desire, with unlimited picanha as well as misuji. Set menus such as Yakiniku Platter (consisting of karubi and rosu cuts) have also enjoyed popularity among even the most exacting Japanese epicureans.

As a cocktail bar established by Mirwansyah Bule and The Union Group, Modernhaus invites the city’s barflies to settle in and enjoy a drink as one would in their own home.
