    The food and service are excellent but the dishes should come with a side dish.

    Right from the getgo everything was wonderful, we were greated warmmy and shown straight to our reserved seats. All the food chosen by my (Indonesian) friend was absolutely fantastic. I had a sabal cocktail which was unusual but magnificent.

    Kata Kita have created a totally unique style of enjoying Indonesian cuisine. My friend and I chose the "feed me" option, every single item was delicious. Every member of staff that we spoke to were very friendly and helpful, 10/10 for customer service and 10/10 for food and value for money. We will definitely be visiting again to try some of the other menu items

    We come here every fortnight for the meltingly tender beef short rib, but most of all for the wonderful, kind service from Bayden. He is what makes this place a joy to visit.

    The food was exceptional in flavour and decent size servings. The staff were on the ball and the atmosphere was friendly without overpowering music.

    Overall the place had a vibe to it and the food was excellent. Unfortunately the staff seemed to be run off their feet and as such werent super attentive which was difficult. We only had one drink as noone came near us to ask for a second or anything. Had to follow up on an item that never came, overall customer service wasnt at the forefront of their minds unfortunately. We had one lovely waiter with bleached blonde that did his best and was super friendly but they were too shortstaffed.

    Super friendly staff make this a great place for a casual get-together. The food is hot, tasty and very well made and the drinks and cocktail menu was fun, with many non-alcoholic choices. We saw many happy faces around the restaurant, from couples to family groups. Will be coming again!
