Phenomenal!

We had the "Reistafel" set meal and it was absolutely amazing! Got a bowl of tapioca chips to start, then a spiced yellow soup, and finally 11 dishes of deliciousness served with steamed rice. Everything was so tasty and flavorful that we pretty much licked the plates clean. I loved that they set candles under the hot dishes to help keep the food warm. If you're like me who always wants to try everything on a menu, the Reistafel is definitely the way to go. We also ordered the chocolate-banana fritters and the coconut cakes for dessert, which rounded out our dinner perfectly.

The staff was very nice and friendly. Service was great. It's not located in central Zurich but it's super easy to get to using public transport. It's well worth the short ride!

Pros: Food, Staff, Setting

Great choice of tasty dishes

My friend and I had taken the rice table and with this menu we had the opportunity to try many different dishes, all delicious. The quantity was a bit much for us and the chefs kindly packed the leftovers and some extra rice so we had a very nice dinner on the next day as well

Better than Perfect

There's nothing about the quality of the food (top notch) that I can say that hasn't been said, so I'll give some thoughts on my unique experiences.

I went here and got the Reistafel with someone who is allergic to peanuts. I wrote ahead and asked how this could be accommodated - the owner wrote back and was very kind in explaining what could be done (serve peanuts on the side on one dish, swap out others if need be). When we got there they confirmed again, and were sure to place peanut dishes far from the person with the allergy.

Service was otherwise also top notch. They asked if we wanted more of anything, and honestly I wish I could have said yes but I was stuffed. We got refills of the little tapioca chips at the start, and were even given our extras in a takeaway bag. That was really unexpected in a good way! The owner came by a few times to make conversation and ask how we were.

We were also seated outside upon request and that was lovely. There's a sticker on the restaraunt door saying they're Covid-safe - I appreciated that too!

Overall this was more than a perfect experience.

YUM!

This was a great find. The seitan goreng sindanglaya was life changing. This restaurant is more protein forward, as in all the dishes are tofu, tempeh or seitan focused. Would have loved more veggies as the star!

Pros: Great food, Great service

Great food and nice ambience

The food was great, we took the menu to share and really there was not dish that was not tasty! Agree that they are masters of the jackfruit. Absolutely worth it.

Delicious food and nice ambiente

Delicious menu, we had a soup and fried corn balls for starters and then peanut seitan and water spinach with fried rice. The taditional coffee was also an experience and the fried banana cake was amazing. Nice outdoor seating area with lots of plants.

perfekter Abend

Die versteckte Terrasse im Hinterhof des Dapur, der liebe Service und das feine Essen haben gemacht, dass wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben und einen wirklich unvergesslichen Abend hatten. Auf den letzte bestellten Espresso haben wir leider vergeblich gewartet aber das hat unseren positiven Eindruck nicht geschwächt.

Pros: bestes Tempeh, was ich seit langem hatte, zarter und köstlicher Seitan, herzige Terrasse

Masters of jackfruit!

Fantastic spot! Best Indonesian food I’ve ever tried. We had the Rendang nangka (jackfruit stew), sayur lodeh (vegetables and jackfruit in coconut sauce), and Terong Kecap (eggplant) from their main menu and the sticky rice coconut cake and jackfruit ice cream from the dessert menu. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, fragrant, and delicious. Even their home made ice tea was lovely. The woman who served us was delightful and gave us great and very candid recommendations that felt like she was actually trying to suggest what we would like best rather than what they wanted to sell more of / what was best for the restaurant.
I would say all of the jackfruit dishes were a highlight (including the ice cream) I also really enjoyed the sticky rice dessert (which was delicious and fun to chew).
The only thing I disliked was that the eggplant dish and jackfruit stew felt a bit too oily. The eggplant was essentially swimming in oil, which felt unnecessary and was not particularly appetizing. I also felt some of the portions were a bit small for the price (mostly the jackfruit and vegetables in coconut sauce).
Still, overall we had a great experience and I would gladly return.

Pros: Delicious food, Great service

Cons: Some dishes are too oily , Pricey

Delicious Indonesian Food

We love to eat at Dapur. The food is delicious. They have 10 different main dishes. Our favourite dish is the seitan but all dishes we tried so far are good (: also the bami goreng is the best we‘ve eaten in Switzerland.

Perfect place for a date

I took my partner here on valentine’s day. I wanted something different, so an Indonesian restaurant with a totally vegan menu looked great. The photos of the food and dining room looked beautiful too, with fresh flowers garnishing the dishes and candles on the tables.

The flavours, textures and presentation of everything we ate was excellent. The dining room is just like the photos. The whole visit felt unhurried and we had plenty of time to relax and talk over dinner.

We felt very welcome here. The lady serving us gave us a rose each as we left.

It's a bit out of central Zurich, but absolutely worth the trip. We walked, and it was a nice evening walk through the suburbs.

Absolutely incredible

I had the Bala Bal fritters with a sweet chili sauce to start. Then, the Rendang as a main. It was incredibly tender, packed with well balanced flavor and the portion size generous. The banana cakes with warm chocolate sauce were the perfect way to finish it off. Must try if you’re in Zurich!

Excellent Indonesian cuisine in a vegan style

This very cozy restaurant nearby the railway station Zurich Oerlikon offers very delicious vegan Indonesian food. The service is excellent, the ambience just perfect. I went there with some friends, and they could not believe that all the cuisines are plant-based.

Pros: Perfect Indonesian cuisine, Wonderful ambience and service, Situated nearby a railroad station

I love Indonesian cuisine, but it's usually not very vegan friendly. I'm so happy that this restaurant switched to a 100% vegan menu! Friendly and delicous!

Authentic tastes, friendly staff

Certainly a great experience dining there, especially if you take the “Reistafel” which is a selection of almost all choices on the menu but as a small portion to share.

Pros: Gluten-free options, Friendly staff

Cons: Located in Oerlikon
