Vegetarian Handi

Unclaimed

Had an incredible variety of vegan delights at this small restaurant located on a side street in China town. The owner was particularly friendly and recommended a variety of other vegan restaurants for our travels around Java and Bali. We came back the next day for a packed lunch for our journey! Everything is vegan and well priced and delicious. I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant!!

I found this place over 1-2 years ago while searching for vegan spots in the Glodok area on Google Maps. Seeing all the great reviews, I was interested in checking it out. Unfortunately, it was around Chinese New Year, and the area was packed with visitors and vendors. Since I came by bike, I was a bit hesitant to enter a crowded place while carrying my bike. Time passed, and after maybe two years of knowing about this place, I finally came to try the food at Handi Vegetarian today. ? The food served is a buffet of Indonesian Chinese dishes. There are about 15 different options to choose from. I was a bit confused about what to pick, but I ended up going with charsiu, stir-fried mushrooms, and sautéed bok choy. The taste really suits my palate. The prices are still reasonable for Jakarta. Bapak Handi, the owner, is very friendly and communicative. This is one of the reasons I’d love to visit again someday. Of course, another reason is to try more of the other tasty dishes they offer. Wishing Pak Handi and his family health, success, and happiness always. If the Universe allows, I’ll definitely come back. ไม่เผ็ดไม่อร่อย (Not spicy, not delicious) ?

Humble store with friendly boss who speakes excellent English. Food was all delicious, but for me, I would say the price is high. It's my fault for not enquiring about the price but when the bill came to 92k I was a little shocked... I guess I just ordered many items, but I can say that in Taiwan (a much more expensive country) the same meal would be somewhat cheaper. Maybe I can suggest more transparency around the costs, for example I didn't order tea, so when the tea was brought I assumed it was complimentary, however later I discovered it was added to the bill.

Mr Handi was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with him very much, we will return one day for sure. We had tempeh, rendang and vegan chicken with rice and it was all delicious. This place should be on your list for sure when you’re looking for tasty vegan local food in Jakarta.

A really nice vegan place in the local market, with homemade food. The owner is really kind and speaks well English!
