    Such an incredible environment with even better food and the staff are exceptional! They didn’t rush us, even though we were running slightly late due to waiting for a family member and they provided excellent quality care and service. Highly recommend.

    Impersonal experience with robots that deliver your food, and cocktails that tasted foul! The only lasting impression was their fried Asian broccoli!

    Right from the getgo everything was wonderful, we were greated warmmy and shown straight to our reserved seats. All the food chosen by my (Indonesian) friend was absolutely fantastic. I had a sabal cocktail which was unusual but magnificent.

    Kata Kita have created a totally unique style of enjoying Indonesian cuisine. My friend and I chose the "feed me" option, every single item was delicious. Every member of staff that we spoke to were very friendly and helpful, 10/10 for customer service and 10/10 for food and value for money. We will definitely be visiting again to try some of the other menu items

    We come here every fortnight for the meltingly tender beef short rib, but most of all for the wonderful, kind service from Bayden. He is what makes this place a joy to visit.
