awesome indo cafe

by squawcedes

I have been to every Indonesian restaurant in L.A, and Ramayani is the best. Try the Nasi Goreng special with satay. The gado gado salad is also very good. The otak otak and corn fritters are very good appetizers.Take a trip up to west l.a to enjoy some good cuisine and warm hospitality.

disappointed

by waewdao

I was very disappointed, food is all over price, the service is not that good.

I order my food togo and when I get back home, the portion is not deserved the price they charged!! food teat okay but not great.

Compare with the Samping Asia, this is nothing, Samping asia food is freshly made, good portion and price is reasonable.

I will never again go back to Ramayani, even though I live just down the street.

Best Indo food

by syoshinaga

I am Dutch/Indo and I have to say that Ramayani's is the best Indonesian restaurant I have ever eaten at. The family that own it are very sweet people. I work at UCLA and it is so nice to have Ramayani's to go and have a delicious lunch. I have told all my family and friends to go to Ramayani's if they want the best Indonesian food.

Fabulous Authentic Indonesian Food

by vksanta

This is simply one of the best eating experiences I've had in LA. As a non-local who's used to great Asian food on every corner I have been starved! for great flavours and have found the food at Ramayani to be very authentic. Definitely recommend it if Real Indonesian food is what you are after!

A much needed fix!

by ElishasGirl

I am Dutch-Indonesian and have not had the opportunity to have an Indonesian home-cooked meal in quite some time, so I was beginning to get desperate. I had previously tried an Indonesian restaurant in Alhambra and to my dismay, I was very disappointed. So I have to be honest and say I went to Ramayani with some doubts. I was however, very surprised at how authentic the food is. The flavors were amazing, the portion was generous and they were very nice. I have gone back twice and plan on going back more in the future, it helps that I only work a couple blocks away. How Convenient! : P

I would definitely give this restaurant a try as you will be very impressed!! The Food rocks, parking is a little tough directly near the restaurant but a Ross parking lot is a little bit up the street and there is plenty of space. I've always ordered to go, but the restaurant is nice and clean and it has an "A" which is super important.

  • Pros: Amazing Food, Authentic ingridients, Nice People
  • Cons: Parking stinks, but this is West L.A, can't have it all!
