Wisanggeni Pawon

Really great flavors - be prepared for a spicy meal! We tried several dishes and we were happy with everything, but we loved the noodles. Will definitely return. Owners were there and were so kind and helpful, explained dishes and recipes. No alcohol but you can visit the bar next door and bring your cocktail over.

WHAT a place. My partner and I popped in at 8 PM on a Wednesday, exciting to try Wisanggeni Pawon and we’re so wildly impressed. Our starter, the fried tofu with vegetables was delicious. The beef in the dish my partner order, he raved about. Tender. Juicy! My shrimp stir fry was spicyyy and yum! The dessert was the star of the show. I could taste the interplay of sugar, coconut, butter—it felt like the perfect pancake. On top of the food, the service was lovely and our waiter was exceedingly helpful. Price was just right!

Wonderful food!! We tried four different entrees and two appetizers so we could share and everything was delicious. Friendly and inviting service! Our kids had not tried Indonesian food before and they loved it. We will come back for sure!

Amazing food. We were a group of 9 people and everyone loved the food. Murtabak is a must try for dessert lovers. Happy soda is refreshing. We ordered both medium and indonesian spicy fried rice, however indonesian spicy is little too spicy for our palates.

From the moment you step in you’re greeted warmly by the restaurant owners. It’s a cosy family restaurant suitable for families and friends. So pleasantly surprised to find an authentic family-run Indonesian restaurant just an hour drive from Bloomington! They source their ingredients directly from Indonesia, as evidenced by the mini convenience store that they have in the restaurant where one can stock up on Indonesian goodies. Food is packed with spices and is perfectly balanced. They have the staples like Satay, Rendang, Martabak, Gado-Gado etc. Excellent presentation that leaves me wanting for more! All the sauces are homemade, and food is always made fresh as soon as you order. Plus there isn’t any MSG but it’s still flavourful. We came back twice in a week because we wanted our southeast asian fix. As an Indonesian-Singaporean this is the closest thing to what we have at home. Thank you for this wonderful experience, Pak Aji and Bu Putri.

Wisanggeni Pawon delivers an exceptional Indonesian culinary experience! We tried the sate ayam, batagor, tahu isi, pempek, and martabak manis, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving top-notch Indonesian food. We’ll definitely be back for more!

First time eating Indonesian food so everything was new but tasted very good. Not a big fan of the drink though, kinda too sweet for me. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice too. They have only been open for 11 months.

I'm always on a mission to visit Indonesian restaurants in the United States. This was our first time and will definitely not be the last time. The owner is very nice, the food was very delicious. We ordered bebek madura (the duck), gado-gado, tempe mendoan, tahu isi, es doger and es cendol. And of course we had to order batagor, martabak telor and mie ayam to go because there's no Indonesian restaurant in Louisville. I wish this was closer so I could come here more often. And I wish them success!
