Bali Nusa Indah

New York, New York, United States

Bali Nusa Indah is an Indonesian Restaurant located in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in NYC. There are many Thai restaurants here, so we thought we were trying something different by trying Indonesian. Actually, I found the food we had here very similar to Thai food, so I was disappointed. I was not overly impressed by the quality of the food either. Everything we had was just OK.

Dress

Casual - jeans and a t-shirt are fine.

Cost

The food is quite affordable - appetizers were around $5, and most entrees were $14.

Service

The service was pretty fast. We were in a hurry to get to a show, and we had no problem meeting our schedule.

Reservations

The restaurant is pretty small, but there were still a few tables open the entire time we were there.

Items Ordered

Perkedel Jagung

Corn fritters with shrimp of Corn fritter with veggie

These were pretty good. They were like fried patties with shrimp and vegetable. I couldn't really tell that they were corn and not potato. They came with a sauce that was a bit sweet. There was also a small salad that was actually quite tasty with a mild sweet dressing.

Sate Ayam

Indonesian barbeque chicken with peanut sauce

This was a pretty typical chicken satay with peanut sauce. The salad was the same as the one that came with the corn fritters.

Ayam Black Bean Sauce

Stir Fried Chicken and vegetables with Black Bean Sauce

The stir fry was ok. The Chicken was a bit weird with crispy pieces. There wasn't as much vegetables as I would have liked. I liked the bean sauce, but it was very salty.

Kari Sayuran

Indonesian vegetables curry

The curry was not very spicy. It had a nice strong coconut flavour. There were a number of large tofu chunks in here, but otherwise it was fairly liquidy.
