This place is phenomenal! I spent 13 years living in Surabaya, Indonesia so I can attest to the fact that the food is not only authentic but also delicious. The tahu isi reminds me of what I got to eat in my childhood! More than the food, Ibu Maria was so unbelievably kind!! I live hours away, but I will be driving back!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Amazing Indonesian food in the Midwest! Came all the way from Chicago for this :) Rendang (not pictured) is the fave! It comes with vegetable curry, rice, omelette, and chilli. Es Cendol is a fave too! Fried tofu definitely is a highlight as well.

As travelers, we've had food from all over the world, but Indonesian is a bit harder to find in the states. We were happy to have found Wisanggeni and surprised further at how good they are. My husband and I ordered the duck and beef main dishes, chicken satay and lumpia. For drinks he ordered the iced coco drink and I the lychees tea. Everything was amazing and the flavors were bold and brought my flavor palette back to life. There's a little corner in the restaurant that they sell Indonesian snacks/foods/drinks to bring home. They even had some cool T-shirts for sale by the register that I really enjoyed but I couldn't find and prices for them. My only complaint was the prices ....they felt a smidge higher than they probably should have been. That and the tavern next door had an outdoor tent that was really rambunctious the day we went- blaring music and people yelling/cheering outside really kind of brought down the mood. That's not the restaurants fault at all I know, but regardless it was unfortunate. If you or a friend/partner are looking for something different to try and have a bit of extra spending money, I'd really suggest this place. (Just maybe not during 'Game Day')
