tl;dr : Authentic Indian restaurant that also serves as a late night bar/club. If you’re looking for a great Indian restaurant in Jakarta that serves an authentic flavor at an affordable price, look no further. This is your spot.

Located at the back of Plaza Festival, this hidden gem is slightly difficult to find but you’d be so glad you did find this place. Every single item that I had over in this place is just amazing. Indian food might be intimidating for some of us that aren’t familiar with the dishes and I hope that this review will encourage everyone here to give it a try. For newbies, you should try out their taugadi kebab/ chicken malai tikka. They bring out the whole grill itself on the table and serve these perfectly grilled chicken thighs on the traditional kebab skewers. I am impressed for sure. Add some of the tangy green chutney and grilled onions to complete the experience. Thirsty? A classic drink to have is mango lassi whenever you’re eating Indian food. This slightly tangy yogurt drink will help neutralize the heat you get from spicy Indian food for sure. Moving on, I tried their naans (garlic, butter) and two different types of curry ( butter chicken and mutton curry). Huge portion size with generous amount of chicken and mutton. Mutton is notorious for its gaminess and tough texture but D’Bollywood managed to reduce that gaminess and made it unbelievably tender! Clearly, this is a restaurant that has mastered the art of cooking mutton. The mutton curry is slightly spicy, but when combined with the naan, it’s excellent. For those that aren’t good with spicy food, just stick to butter chicken. This dish is slightly sweet and tangy from the tomatoes used in the preparation process and will suit the tastebuds of everyone, including kids. Finally, I also tried their mutton biryani and once again, their mutton is amazingly tender. However, the thing that really stood out was how rich-tasting the biryani rice was. As told by the owner, they added some ghee to the rice after cooking it. Even though the basmati rice is fluffy, it’s not dry thanks to the ghee. This dish was definitely my favorite. As for desserts, Indian cuisine definitely goes all out and will satisfy anyone who loves their sweets. I am one of them. Gulab jamun is a fried dough that’s dipped into a super sweet spiced syrup (cardamom and saffron). Personally, my favorite Indian dessert is the kheer, a rice pudding made with milk and sugar. Unlike the usual white kheer you find in other Indian restaurants, D’Bollywood uses saffron in their kheer, resulting in a yellow looking kheer that’s much better than the original kind.
