Anak Depok has for many years been a steady fortress of refined Indonesian cuisine. We still like to visit this restaurant to illustrate the difference from the usual toko-fare. Prices have gone up through the years and, when visiting with a family, the bill can reach impressive heights.Albert Heijn, the supermarket chain, offers a scheme with which you can have a substantial reduction in price in selected restaurants, the basic scheme being " dinner for two for the price of one", drinks excluded. Anak Depot takes part in this scheme, but why remain elusive. Reservation times are severely limited. Once you have secured a place you get a limited menu only. All other guest were received courteously, we felt less so. All other tables were serviced quickly, not so ours. We had to wait until all others were serviced.The food is good, but this approach is narrow-minded and suggests a calculated approach to guests that lacks in style. When you do not feel welcome, a full-price return becomes less likely. The management should reminder this.

We re-visited this restaurant with high hopes. I used to eat in this restaurant a lot about 15-20 years ago when this was the top Indonesian restaurant in Utrecht. I am afraid that my experience this time was the complete opposite to the ones I have had previously, and this restaurant has definitely moved to the bottom place.We were shocked with the service and although the staff were friendly, they were totally out of there comfort zone and seemed unexperienced and unprofessional. I was very surprised that the quality level of food was so different than it used to be.We were extremely disappointed with the overall experience and I have made the following list of issues, some small and some big, but my main complaints are really about the food, which was extremely disappointing for me.We had different sate's for starters and for main course a small rijsttafel and Ikan Bali.1. The 35 euro's bottle of wine we ordered was put in a bucket of tap water without any ice, so the wine was at room temperature.2. The flowers on the table were fake and the table cloth was only a small strip covering the centre of the table.3. There was a mismatch of all different crockery and glasware.4. We had to wait about 50 minutes in between starters and main course.5. During our dinner there was a constant coming and going of food delivery moped drivers, which I found rather annoying as they pass the tables with large plastic bags and helmets on their way to deliver the food orders. This was I think the reason why there was a 50 minute wait between starter and main course. It felt that the food deliveries are almost more important than the dining guests in the restaurant.6.The sate ajam was very thinly sliced and totally bland, it didn't have the griddle/grill marks on it and wasn't marinated at all, the sate sauce on this was tasteless and very thin and watery.7. The very expensive sate kambing, normally my favourite, was definitely not goat as advertised, but instead a cheap shortcut was taken and thin slices of tough dry mutton was used, there was no doubt about it. This was my main issue of the evening as I felt being lied to.8. The ikan bali, mackerel in chili sauce, had a nice spicy flavour but the sauce was watery and the fish was dry, my question was how can mackerel be dry?9. The atjar tjampur was underpickled.10. The gado gado had a lot of watery beansprouts in it and again, the peanut sauce on top was thin and tasteless.I could live with all these complaints but for a bill of 114 euro's I feel that these complaints are valid.

Mooi Zeist is, in my opinion, the best Indonesian restaurant in the Utrecht area. The restaurant is located in a quiet neighboorhood of Zeist, they have parking facilities and an outside terrace (perfect for warm summer evenings). I can highly recommend every item on their menu, it's all delicious and made with love. The ambiance and chairs in a restaurant, to me, are very important; the ambiance here is good! They have good lighting, comfortable seats and it's cosy. One of the most important things (nowadays), you can actually wine and dine here without anyone breathing down your neck.

Lovely evening. Delicious food. Excellent service. My husband is vegetarian and I have a garlic allergy. We informed the restaurant when we booked and they suggested we have the chefs menu - 3 courses, chefs selection, set price. The food was superb. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant looks quite modern, with some beautiful pictures of Indonesian scenes and spices and some writings on the wall as food for thought. Seats are comfortable and staff is very friendly.But a restaurant is all about food and cooking and Indonesian food is all about spices. Well, the spices are just right at Mutiara. It is not about the quantity of the food here, but the quality is really excellent. Fresh products and spices that really make you think. It is not just ketjap or sambal (sweet or hot), no, when the food enters your mouth your palate is doing overtime analysing the refined taste and spices. Subtle tastes that make you stop talking and start tasting. GREAT !Opening times are limited, so check and make a reservation beforehand.
