Let me start by saying that I have never had Indonesian food before so I cannot compare Bandung to other Indonesian restaurants or to authentic Indonesian cooking. However, I found Bandung to be a great place to eat, would highly recommend it, and will eat there again.
I went with a group of five people for an early dinner and we were seated immediately. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and tips about the food.
Their specialty drink menu was fantastic and since we were there before 7pm they were half price. I had the Long Island Thai Tea which was a fun twist on the usual thai iced tea, but not as deadly as a long island iced tea. My dining companions hat the Matahari and the Pink Monkey, both of which were excellent and got passed around the table for everyone to try. In fact we liked the drinks so much we snuck a drink menu out with us so we could recreate them at home!
Three of us had the rijsttafel which was excellent. The price is $24.95/person and if you want to share one there is a $10 sharing fee. We had originally planned on sharing one between the three of us, but our waiter told us that it was probably enough food for 1.5 people, so instead we ordered two and shared it among the three of us (they didn't charge us the $10 sharing fee for the third person).
I would say two people could share one if they ordered an appetizer/dessert to accompany it.
The dishes were flavorful and we had a lot of fun trying each one. If you are looking for food that is very spicy I would ask them to kick it up a notch. I found everything to be well spiced but I don't like super spicy food, so keep that in mind.
My other two dining companions ordered the nightly special - Mahi Mahi and the Bebek Bakar and both enjoyed their dishes.
