The interiors of the restaurant fashion some cool and modern artwork on the walls. The seats are cushioned and comfy for long stays while the colorful choices of wall art are the perfect prelude to the explosion of flavor that Restoran Garuda has in store.
While Filipinos are not unfamiliar favorites like Nasi Goreng, Restoran Garuda is transporting you straight to Indonesia with their very authentic flavors and recipes. All of the ingredients are carefully selected and flown in from Indonesia and are, of course, halal-certified.
Stir Fried Tempeh
An Indonesian staple! Soy cake strips and string beans tossed in an Indonesian stir fry sauce *seasonal
What makes Indonesian cuisine so unique are the complex flavors used. Whether it’s a sambal or sate, hours and hours of preparation go into what you thought was a simple sauce.
Pangsit Udang
Fried minced prawn and chicken pockets served with a tangy dipping sauce
Sate
Jakarta’s most popular street food. These char-grilled skewers are marinated in traditional herbs and spices then smothered in our signature peanut sauce, topped with fried shallots.
Martabak
A savory pancake with minced meat combined with egg and Indonesian spices, pan fried to a perfect crisp. Available in chicken or beef.
Mushroom Lada Hitam
Fresh mushrooms sizzled with our mouthwatering pepper sauce
Rendang
Garuda’s signature dish. Your choice of meat simmered in fresh coconut milk and traditional Indonesian spices-cooked for hours to immerse you in all its flavors.
For those of you who are afraid of burning your tongues off, the food at Restoran Garuda does come on the spicer side, but you can have the spice levels customized to your liking. No need to worry about drowning your taste buds with water here!
Nasi Goreng Packet
Nasi Goreng, Sate (choice of chicken, beef, vegetarian, tofu sate), Fried Egg, Pickled Vegetables, Krupuk

Mee Goreng
Jakarta-style fried noodles with your choice of meat and combination of vegetables

Refreshingly light and fluffy chiffon cake infused with pandan goodness
Halo-Halo
