Pisang Bakar
It looks like a candle on a candelabra. It is grilled banana, wick and all.
Namaaz Dining · Jakarta · since 2012
Indonesian
Flavour.
The first Halal fine dining in Indonesia.
A molecular gastronomy tasting menu by Chef Andrian Ishak. Around seventeen courses, two to three hours, and one rule: what you see is not what you taste.
Tuesday – Saturday · 7 pm · 29 seats
Why Namaaz
Namaaz means prayer. Every evening one small seating is taken through Indonesian flavours you know by heart, served in forms you have never seen, finished at your table by a kitchen that works like a laboratory.
What you see is not what you taste
Every course is
a small surprise.
Scroll on. Each plate looks like one thing and tastes like another, and every one of them is Indonesian.
You see · a bar of soap
Not for washing
A stamped bar crowned with foam, served on stone. Taste it before you judge it.
You see · planets
Spheres
Spherified flavours set out at the chef’s counter, each one a different burst.
You see · jewels
Under the spotlight
Pearls of colour lined up over a pale roll, lit like a stage.
You taste · home
Sambal Terasi
The one dish that looks exactly like itself, because some flavours should stay true.
