Best place to buy Indonesian food in Queens. Its not a restaurant, they have food in refrigerators. Very good quality and taste. A monthly must have for is since we came from Singapore.
Friendly staff. Complete indonesian food ingredients
Authentic Indonesian grocery store but the HIDDEN GEM is Each week on Tuesday Warung Selasa makes homemade Indonesian food and serves it inside this small grocery store from 10am-4pm. Check her instagram for menu (changes weekly) and also send her a message on instagram or call to make reservation for dine-in or for pick up. The food is AMAZING!! The BEST Indonesian food I have ever tasted!! She makes her own Sambal sauce which was delicious - everything was so good. This is definitely the definition of a HIDDEN GEM!!!! We drove 2 hours for this experience & it was well worth it!!!
Came here today cause this place made it into the New York Times “25 essential dishes to eat in New York City”
Great selection of Indonesian coffee and desserts. On Saturdays they have delicious prepared meals like rendang (spicy coconut beef), tempe (tangy fermented tofu), sweet chicken egg rolls and many many more. Pre-covid once a week they would set up two tables in their tiny space and serve home cooked meals.
The place is a hole in the wall but so interesting. The people were friendly and welcoming. Note: to get the food hot show up esrly Tuesdays and Thursdays. They bring thwir food fro. Philly on Saturdays. They have optikns to buy in the freezer. The food is good. Worth the trip.
This store has so many Indonesian food products - freshly made on the Saturday, and wide variety of cooking ingredients 👍
Very interesting restaurant inside Queens, as it only has one table. It was even featured on Great Big Story. This place has the most authentic Indonesian food in the US. The food is halal, and you can even buy Indonesian snacks here.
The food in the fridge was super bad. I dont know how long they have been. The rice was super dry like uncooked, totally inedible. The noodle just clumped together and tasted bad. They also apply 3% surcharge on cc/debit.

Good hole-in-the-wall place to pick up your Indonesian dry or packed spices, ready prepared food to take home (entree, desserts, sweet and savory snacks), and more... Oh also daily specials of nasi rames.If they dont have it, they can tell you where to get/find it.You should at least visit this place once to really find out what they carry.
Friendly staff, great food. A little disorganized and many things don’t have prices and names clearly labeled. Thursday food pop-up is usually halal, and always delicious. Get all your sambals and ready made spice mixes here.
I accidentally found this hidden gem and wow. The ladies were so nice and friendly, food is so delicious and authentic. Love the supermarket as well. I could find everything I need for Indonesian supplies.
Great place with many varieties of Indonesian products and ready to eat food. The owner is a very friendly Indonesian lady. Would recommend to friends.
All about Indonesian are here. Food (ready to eat/cooked), snacks, seasoning, cookies, cake, stamp, eucalyptus, viva eyebrows pencil, many more. Including fresh food evwry thursday
So...this place has obviously become popular due to some YouTube channel and fb videos making its rounds on the internet. Just so everyone who hasn’t watched the videos yet, this place is a grocery store in which they have 2 small tables at the back of the store in which they sell food.The food is very good in terms of tasting like a “home cooked” meal. It tastes very similar to my mom’s cooking. So if you’re wondering if it’s authentic etc, I’d most definitely say yes.Additionally, I believe the food is on a rotational basis...meaning it’s not always the same menu. So keep that in mind. You’re pretty much going in for a plate of indo food which consists of rice, meats, veges etc, which seems to be $10 per plate. Definitely worth popping in and trying!!In terms of the grocery store itself, it’s a standard no frills indo grocery store...so if you’re expecting something like wholefoods, you might as well turn around and walk out.
Delicious spicy food!
My favorite feature of Indo Java is every Tuesday is the Warung Selasa pop up by Chef Dewi. While having an ever changing menu of one Indonesian meal on Tuesday May be frustrating for some, I say “in Dewi I trust.” In other words, whatever she is making, that is what I am having and I know from experience it is found to be excellent. Find her Sunday Instagram post to see what she is planning to serve. If you see her Duck dish, beef tendon dish, Tripe dish, or Giant Meatball (baksa) with noodles, dm her to save an order. Don’t expect to waltz in and be guaranteed an order. They are almost all accounted for with pre-orders. She is amazing and has been noticed by the New York Times, CNN, and Andrew Zimmern if you needed any convincing. She also started selling yummy snacks and desserts to add to her repertoire
Has fresh cooked food boxes from local Indonesian restaurant. Many bamboe spices, specific to indonesian cooking. The BEST indo-cafe instant coffee mix is here! Takes cash and redit card.
Indonesia groceries store.They also have some ready cook food
Interesting little place selling unique ingredients and prepared foods. Tried a steamed rice with tuna bundled in banana leaf. Bought Indonesian sambals.
This place is probably the best hole in the wall in the whole city. nestled in the back is a tiny prep space where a women who graces us only once a week, with a single plate of food, resides. theres no thrills here but its not why you come. although youre in a tiny grocery store in a part of the city that has literally no greater incentive to visit besides a plate like this, you automatically feel at home is youre lucky enough to grab one or two of the four, and i literally mean four, chairs. i cant even describe how rich and generous the plates are but it doesnt compare to the glowing personality she serves with it. she will chew your ear out and i will listen to her wholeheartedly because she is willing to share her knowledge (and by that i mean some secrets)
INDONESIA 🇮🇩 Eat the World NYC review:Warung Selasa, or Tuesday food shack, is by now legendary in Elmhurst, especially amongst the Indonesian community. East Javanese chef Dewi has created a thriving scene for expats of the nation and lovers of Indonesian food in New York. Recently, a West Javanese chef has started cooking on Thursdays, making it easier to enjoy the wonders of this back-of-the-grocery popup eatery. Any day you decide to visit will be full of hospitality and delicious food, there is no experience quite like it.
This spot is a hidden jem! Dewi the chef is super friendly and accommodating but most importantly she makes amazing Indo Java cuisine from all regions. Follow her on Instagram @warungselasa since she posts every Sunday what shell be cooking on Tuesdays.
The best palace for Indonesian grocery plus they have a secret hot food restaurant in here too!
Ibu Ria the store attendant, runs a nice Indonesian Warung stocked full with good assortments of Krupuk, snacks, treats, spices, cakes, teas and herbal jamu.
I was told by my friend Lia of PJ that if i want a kue go to Indo Java either on a Friday or Saturday. It was a saturday and she was right. I finally found the kue.The bolu kukus taste as expected. The bika ambon look and taste id say about 80% of the bika ambon i knew in Tanah Kusir, Jakarta.I was so happy that i bought all the bolu kukus and the bika ambon and hopefully they will have other kue next weekend and more supplies. And another thing, I like the folks running this store. They make you feel welcomed.
Friendly staff, reasonable price!!!
This is the place to go to when youre homesick of Indonesia. Lots of variety of snacks, appetizers and foodies 👍
I like it because i can find a lot of indonesia items here eventhough I think its not as much items as before anymore.
Love this market. Nice selection of instant noodles, kitchen staples and snacks.

Best place to buy authentic INDONESIAN spices and ready made food .
Drove all the way from providence to get some good stuff here, recommended 👍🏽
Great spot! Every Saturday they have new prepped meals coming in if youre too lazy to cook.
Convenient place to grab basic Indonesian groceries and pre cooked meals.
Great place for Indonesian products. Great place for lunch on Tuesdays!
Watch out and check your receipt before leaving the store. Just got charge for items I didn’t purchase. Very deceitful.
Lots of Indo snacks and food to choose from. some rare finds as well. Sure will go back to get more.
Great store very friendly staff I learned a lot and my wife got to get a lot of food from her home country.

For those who miss cooked and raw Indonesian dishes, and/or the ingredients and seasonings... Great place to get your Indonesian food fix
The place to find Kapal Api Coffee, Bottled Tea and white crackers....
Small Indonesian Warung, with everything your heart desires if you are looking for ingredients for Indonesian cuisine. The aisles are extremely narrow, however, so go to the store without a backpack!
The owners are super nice. Here they sell a lot of spices, tea, snacks, special Indomie flavors that are hard to find in America, pre-made meals, Warung Kamis serving fresh meals, and also frozen items like meatballs and tempeh.
A place to shop for necessities if you miss Indonesian cuisine
Come here, look at YouTube The smallest restaurant in NYC Hope you can stop by here 👍👍

2022-06-21Dewi is one of the nicest people Ive met! I had a prepared meal and she took the trouble to make it a little spicier for me, the way I like my Indonesian food. Everythings also reasonably priced, with a good array of snacks and delicacies. Call ahead if you have questions on which meals are available on a given day. She typically has more options on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

2022-05-22I regularly visit this place on the weekends to pick up the fresh made tempeh that they sell its only available on the weekends and its definitely worth a trip. On the weekends they serve a variety of Indonesian hot food a lot of it which is vegetarian and vegan.

2022-08-10After reading this, youll want to always come here. Im born and raised, and a resident of Lower East Side Chinatown, and been coming to IndoJava, the main Indonesian bodega since 2019, after Fung Bros food recommended it. IndoJava bodega has almost all kind of main dishes, sambal, and different type of kue. Every Tuesday and Thursday, IndoJava cooks delicious lunches that you can have inside the shop or take out. The shop is small and cramped but a lot of essential ingredients

2020-12-09I came here on a Wednesday afternoon. They have pre-cooked food in the refrigerator and cooked savory and sweet snacks in the back. The options were limited by the time I got there. I ended up getting the fish head curry and prune layer cake. The curry came with two huge heads which I had in two meals. Not bad for $12. The curry was absolutely delicious. The cake was good and moist. I also bought their homemade sambal sauce which is dangerously spicy, but I love it! They also sell kaya jam, which I was so excited about. Kaya toast is a popular breakfast item in Malaysia and Singapore. Been having this every other day! I will definitely come back to try their other pre-cooked meals.

2021-08-08Friendly, considerate staff. Not many vegan or veg options, but I always buy the stuffed tofu when they have it. Probably the only place that has a stuffed tofu dish. Every other place I go for tofu, its usually prepared the same way like any other restaurant, which isnt necessarily bad, but I want something different sometimes.Customers come regularly for the meat dishes, so I assume it has to be decent.Great small store that has been around for some time.5 stars!
