Dija Mara

Creative Southeast Asian Flavors, Excellent Cocktails, and Warm Service Dija Mara delivered a fun and memorable dining experience, elevated by friendly and attentive service from Alison and Kaitlen. The menu is full of bold Southeast Asian-inspired flavors, creative presentations, and unique cocktails that make it worth seeking out. We started with the roti, which arrived hot, thin, and crispy, paired with a rich lamb jus that made for an excellent combination. The pork belly was another standout—beautifully roasted and well-seasoned, with a flavorful peanut sauce, fresh mint, and just enough spice to keep things interesting. The beef rendang was excellent as well. Rather than being overly saucy, it let the curry spices shine through, while the addition of mango provided a pleasant contrast of sweetness and texture. Not every dish was a home run. The yu choy was unfortunately overcooked and became somewhat soggy, though the sauce itself was delicious. The roasted eggplant was good, but the generous amount of crumble on top overwhelmed the eggplant, which should have been the star of the dish. The fried chicken was enjoyable and expertly cooked, though it wasn’t quite what I ex

Widely recognized and deservedly so, there's not a bad thing on the menu. Everything we had was absolutely fantastic and service was excellent. If you're even remotely considering eating here, just do yourself a favor and reserve already.

This Balinese/Indonesian restaurant NEVER disappoints. They are a small (may 15 tables) restaurant listwd on the Micheline guide with exceptional food. Reservation highly recommended. The cocktails (lychee martini and Gypsy water) were well-balanced and deliciously crafted. The food, however, completely stole the show. We began with the Roti with Lamb Curry Jus, which was rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful. The smoky Pork Belly Skewers were a standout- tender, charred to perfection, and packed with bold flavor reminiscent of Jamaican jerk pork (yaad style) . The Mie Goreng (noodles) with spicy lamb had the perfect level of heat and depth, while the Beef Rendang featured incredibly tender short rib beef paired with quail egg over rice, creating one of the most satisfying dishes of the night. Every plate was thoughtful, flavorful, and memorable. This is the kind of restaurant where you immediately start planning what you want to order on your next visit before you even leave the table. If we had more space in our dtomach, I would have kept ordering 😌🤭

We are having dinner at Dija Mara and quite disappointed with the food. We ordered crudo, beef rendang, nasi goreng and grilled pork belly. Although the presentation is wonderful, the balance in taste is a disastrous where we found the crudo and the beef in the beef rendang too salty. Also the grilled pork belly and the beef are way overcooked where they are really dried. The pork belly is really burnt that we feel we’re eating charcoal. The atmosphere is pretty nice except that the lighting is too dark in the corner.

We walked by shortly after they opened and they welcomed us graciously even without a reservation. It’s very clear though that it’s best to make a reservation for the future, as this is a very busy restaurant. The staff were very kind, and the food service was quick! Food was excellent and filling, and in my opinion, the prices were fair. Overall a great time. Just a note, I think I would try a different skewer in the future because while the tuna was good, I think it lacked a little flavor compared to the other dishes we ordered.
