Botanika Restaurant

4 Ariella Cahya - a month ago

Modern Indonesian restaurant with a relaxed, casual setting, where you can find many different styles of Indonesian food from across the archipelago. Menu is fairly extensive with options of both one-dish meal and sharing plates for communal dining. Frankly speaking, the food did little to elevate my dining experience. In other words, it’s just okay-ish, except the fried tofu which earned 10/10 from me. Staffs were friendly, though the service could be slow during busy hours.

One recommended restaurant in Surabaya for Indonesian cuisine. The restaurant is spacious and has a parking lot which is very important in Surabaya. I like the concept of the restaurant, green modern minimalist.
The service is quick and good. The food can meet your expectation.
I will comeback here.

We had Mie Aceh, Putu Mayang, and Es Doger. The food was great, but the service was EXCELLENT!!! The staff were very accommodating to our requests (no coconut milk, no durian, etc.) Thank you and we’ll definitely come again next time.

The ambience invites us to chill while having delicious Indonesian traditional culinary experience. Ordered gado-gado gulung, mie aceh, nasi goreng kids meal, ayam tangkep aceh, and es buah naga. All tasted fine. A bit disappointed that we found a hair on the first roll of the gado-gado gulung but the staff responded well upon our complaint. They brought us a new set of the dish.

Came for family dinner by making a reservation beforehand. We came around 5 PM and it's still pretty empty so we can still ask to change our table to our preferred location. Now for the details of our visit

Place: located right on the side of main road so it is easy to spot and access. The inside is spacious and perfect for family or team dinner, there are indoor and outdoor space also 2nd floor even if it's not as big as the first floor.

Food: Try their lidah sapi (cow tongue) and rendang, both are so tender especially for the tongue. Their rice set menu is kinda meh even though you can try variety of sides and menu. For the drink, i recommend their es campur durian.

Service: now this is the downside, as when we just came and the place not too crowded they still can manage to assist swiftly. But after it get a bit crowded, we need to ask 2 different staff just for tissue as it took long time. And when we ordered extra menu including 2 plate of white rice, but it took really long which they can serve those rices first at least, but they wait for our other menu to be ready too before serve it

Price: On the expensive side but it's worth with their taste and space

I hope they can make improvement in their service side especially their serving time and customer assistance, as they have a good space and great food

Very pleasant experience. Order taken and delivered with zero mistake. Traditional interior with modern music makes a perfect atmosphere to dine in as couple/group of friends even for families. Price is above average which is normal for this kind of place. Food is pretty good and well presented. Nasi Bakar Tuna is delicious. Sate Menggarai is very tender and tasty. Noodles are just okay. Will definitely come back again.
