Kaum Jakarta

The food at Kaum was nothing short of heavenly with authentic Indonesian flavours elevated with a refined touch. The ambiance is perfect for both special occasions or simply indulging in great food. Service was attentive making the whole experience even better. If you’re in Jakarta and want to taste Indonesian cuisine at its finest, Kaum is a must-visit.

We had an amazing time here at Kaum Jakarta.The staff is very friendly and happy to help you choose from the menu. The food is outstanding – we highly recommend sitting at the kitchen bar to fully enjoy the experience and watch the chefs in action!

Foods here are really amazing!!! Staff are also friendly and helpful. Thank you Ferdy and another man who talks a lot of working experiences in Taiwan (sorry I don’t know your name🫠) It’s my first day and first meal in Jakarta. I’m really impressed.

After a seven-year hiatus, we finally made a nostalgic date-nite return to Kaum in Menteng, Jakarta—and it felt like coming home to a more refined, stylish version of an old friend. Part of the Potato Head Group, Kaum remains a love letter to Indonesia’s culinary diversity, artfully fusing traditional recipes from across the archipelago with modern sophistication—beautifully composed, yet brimming with authentic flavours. The Gohu Ikan Tuna from Maluku was a bright, briny revelation: fresh tuna lightly cured in coconut oil, calamansi juice, and tart belimbi, crowned with crunchy kenari nuts, peppery ginseng leaves, and crisp rice crackers. The Ikan Bakar Pesisir from West Sumatra followed—succulent barramundi grilled to smoky perfection, bathed in tamarind and turmeric, and given a fiery lift with sambal merah. To round it all off, the Kookaburra cocktail sang in harmony—lemongrass-infused Three Peaks gin shaken with fresh mint, citrus, passion fruit, and a cloud of curcuma foam. A tropical symphony in a glass.

Great vibes, nice food and drinks. Fantastic for a get together, really had a good time here. The beef tongue was super tender and will strongly recommend the smoked roast duck!

Visited Kaum in weekday afternoon, there is no need to wait. However after 12pm there would be a crowd :) The food is good, there are variety of choices. The waitress is very friendly and helpful :) The satay is a must!

The best meal in Indonesia and we’ve been to Bandung, Jogja and Lombok. Definitely order the fish, what a memorable meal which I will never forget.

Really gourmet!!!! The environment is also chill and amazing!!! This duck and salad are the most impressive dishes!!! And waiter Fredi is so nice ! I like Indonesian people!!! Very friendly and warm!
