"Jayakarta, the only Indonesian restaurant in Berkeley, appears to be closing. It has been serving Betawi-style street food to the Berkeley community for 14 years. This weekend will be the restaurant’s last. Jayakarta’s menu focuses on Indonesian street food. Favorites included the gado-gado, mie tek-tek, and nasi bungkus. Opening chef and owner Irianti Jin, known as Mama Talen, came from North Jakarta, bringing Betawi cuisine. Regulars include Indonesian expats, Cal students, and even Julia Roberts visited once." - Becky Duffett
