Located on the lively Ráday utca, this welcoming eatery is popular with both locals and Budapest’s Indonesian community — always a strong endorsement. Its modest, homely setting (plus an outdoor terrace in warmer months) provides a simple backdrop for the star of the show here: the food.

With traditional recipes prepared fresh and served with genuine warmth, the restaurant offers an authentic Indonesian dining experience. Acoustic music and attentive service add to the charm, making it a reliable choice for those who appreciate flavourful cooking.

Plataran is the most intimate of Budapest’s Indonesian dining spots, appealing to those who prefer a quiet, refined setting. Using fresh local ingredients where possible, the kitchen prepares authentic dishes with care and attention.

A highlight here is the Nasi Tumpeng, a festive platter that showcases several specialties on one plate — perfect for sampling the variety of Indonesian cuisine. While the menu is not extensive, the quality, attentive service, and calm ambience make this bistro well worth a visit.
