my friend y can speak indonesian and i always rely on her when ordering from this restaurant. derek and i went without her once and we ordered the same nasi goreng dish she usually gets - but because we are not indonesian, we ended up with a bland tasteless version. it's really amazing that indonesian food can end up bland and tasteless, but somehow they managed.
therefore i would not recommend going to this place without an indonesian-speaking person. earlier this week, with m visiting from out-of-town, y ordered delivery from bali nusa. after lots of lovely indonesian was spoken, we ended up with curry tofu, spicy eggplant, chicken satay, fried rice, and crispy onion chips. delicious!
