About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
NUSA means island in Indonesian.
Our chef Wayan comes from Nusa Penida, a beautiful island off the coast of Bali. At our beautiful harbourside terrace, you will find an unique atmosphere. A little Bali feeling with an original Bali temple in the Caribbean.

Our concept:
Guests can order a 5, 7 or 9 dishes rice table. There is a choice of 16 delicious, freshly made dishes. We have a number of classics on the menu such as sateh and rendang. Indonesian soups and desserts are also on the menu.

Of course, we also have tasty vegetarian dishes.

Wayan cooks everything fresh in her own kitchen, with an emphasis on healthy and nutritious food. The rich spice mixes give an enormous explosion of flavor in the food. We cook pure nature therefor WITHOUT msg, vetsin or asinomoto (flavor enhancers).

Selamat Makan!

    Excellent rijsttafel (rice table) restaurant in Aruba. The options for 2 people to choose varying numbers of dishes, rather than paying for the entire menu, was thoughtful and wise. We are very experienced Indonesian foodies, and can testify that the beef rendang and duck dish and pork skewers were delicious. The peanut sauce was so superb that we requested a pint of it to take away so we could "cook" with it on our boat for as long as it lasts! The staff were just lovely, professional, and warm.

    The restaurant was very pretty, I had made a birthday reservation which they seemed to have misplaced. We were early so did get a table but with no reserved table and no table check once we were served I can’t give it 5 stars as it wasn’t 5 star service. The food was good.

    We had the rice table (rijsttafel) which was delicious. The staff is very friendly and the owner checks in with every guest to make sure everything is up to standards.

    We had a good experience at their first location downtown last year and we went back for walk-in meal and they were no longer there! We were disappointed, but a quick search on the web we found that they had just moved location, to a waterfront location. Great food, service and location!

    The outdoor seating is delightful, nice view and not too warm. I don't know how it would be when there is no breeze or a strong breeze. The menu is focussed on the 'rijsttafel'. We chose the 5 dish option. My dining partner doesn't eat meat, there were plenty of vegetarian/fish options. I added the duck as an extra dish. Everything looked enticing and was delicious. Just the right amount food. Adding some homemade sambal kicked the spice level up, nice to have a choice. Friendly service, right price/quality ratio, will go back!!

    Très bon rapport qualité prix, pas réellement épicé à l’indienne mais nourriture excellente. Bien situé dans le port.
