Kila has been with us since the very first service — one of the faces that has been here through it all. On the floor, she brings a warmth that guests notice and the team relies on.

With a menu that changes as often as ours does, knowing the food inside out matters. Kila does — every dish, every change, every new direction the kitchen takes.

Another one for the year. Kindling has been named No. 1 Restaurant of the Year on Indonesia’s 100 Best Restaurants 2026 on .id by .id.

We opened just over a year ago with a team that believed in what we were building. Every service since has been a quiet act of commitment — from the kitchen to the floor, from the first course to the last.

To our team, and to every guest who has walked through this door: thank you for making this mean something.

Juni has been in this kitchen before it was this kitchen.

From Bali to Menteng — she came with Chef Vallian, and the protein section has been hers to shape ever since. Some people grow into a kitchen. Juni grew with this one.

Kindling has been named among the Best 30 Restaurants of the Year in Jakarta & Bali, receiving the Gold Award at the inaugural Prestige Gourmet Awards 2026.

We don’t take this lightly. Behind this are the people in the kitchen and on the floor. Every service, every plate, every detail that could have been overlooked and wasn’t. To the team who shows up and earns this quietly, every single day — this is yours first.

And to our guests who have made Kindling part of their evenings, you are not just the reason we do this. You are the reason it matters.

Slow-roasted duck with white corn, tamarind, and black garlic — part of our curated menu for Asia’s Finest Table by UOB 2026.

The duck has been with us since the beginning. It returns here in a different form — the tamarind pulling against the richness, white corn for something quieter in between, black garlic underneath it all. The same dish, and not quite.

Roasted halibut with Gillardeau oyster, leek, and gingerflower sauce — one of the dishes we put together for Asia’s Finest Table 2026 by UOB.

The oyster brings a salinity that the halibut holds up against well, with the gingerflower arriving at the end to draw everything into focus.

One of the dishes we created as an alternative to our rice course for our regular guests.

Glutinous rice cooked in a stock of conpoy, crab, and dried shiitake, paired with picked mud crab, soy-pickled cucumber, and a sabayon of oyster sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, and spiced butter.
