The 23 Best Restaurants in Amsterdam, the Netherlands | Eater

"Following almost 150 years of Dutch colonization of Indonesia, the Netherlands is dotted with Indonesian takeaways, many serving recipes sweetened and de-spiced for cautious taste buds. Mixed in among some fairly uninspiring places, there are gems like Paon Bali, which serves up affordable (though inflexible) set meals. There’s only one plate on offer each day, consisting of a big scoop of rice surrounded by eight to 10 little portions of various meat and vegetable dishes and sambals. Bali is a historically Hindu island, so the cuisine includes more pork than elsewhere in Indonesia; the babi guling (traditional roast pork) here is excellent, as is the babi kecap (pork in sweet Indonesian soy sauce). Know before you go: The restaurant only takes walk-ins for dining in, and there is often a vegetarian option available (though check the week’s on the website)." - Katharine Khamhaengwong

If you are in Amsterdam, and you are breathing, you must come here. Queue was stowed out the door when we showed up around 1830 and didn’t subside even after we left around 1845. Got the Paon Bali which was some lovely fragrant rice, and then a delicious medley of all the different curries, veggies and deep fried goodness (9 different items if I remember correctly). The absolute without a doubt highlight of the dish was the slow roasted pork belly, full of fatty deliciousness glazed with something magical, slow roasted so that it just melted in my mouth. Magnifique! The metaphorical cherry that topped this very non metaphorical collage of cultural creations were the perfectly roasted peanuts (that did physically top the dish !!!). The dusting of nuts went perfectly with all the other constituent parts to add a nice crunch to every bite. Wow wow and wow, thank you so much for showing me food I’ve never experienced before. It was brilliant to see this part of Amsterdam as well, very much worth the travel. Really hoping Balinese food makes it to Glasgow. Also obligatory mention to the lovely staff and quick turnaround time. Cheers!

Good grief this meal was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about the food and the owners. Nasi Babi Guling the meal of the day it it was perfect; my partner said better than Bali. Portions were massive. Go early if you want to dine-in as there is limited seating (otherwise it is only for takeout). Be sure to grab some of the prawn or cassava chips as well.

Excellent food, really authentic, except not ridiculously spicy like in Bali.

Small, charming place with the best Balinese food. Very affordable. You just have one menu with lots of things. People standing in line even before it opens. It's very small so almost everyone gets takeout. If you want to sit you need to be early. You need to like spicy food.

As a Balinese travelling to Amsterdam, I found this place is really authentic. Just remind me of home. The owner is very welcome and friendly. The food is great! I believe Balinese, Indonesian, or Western would enjoy the food easily. Would definitely pay another visit if I go to Amsterdam again. Recommended!

This place is the bomb. Absolutely delectable Balinese food. One choice. You get what they are making that day. But you won’t be disappointed (unless you vegetarian- no vegetarian option). They don’t dumb down the spice for local palettes. Can’t recommend more.
