The Nasi Goreng with toppings is delicious and easily the best Indonesian food you can get outside of Indonesia. Really authentic food that tastes just like its made in Indonesia. Servings are huge, so if you’re not too hungry, heat up half and save some for later or share it! Many of the negative reviews here comment on one of the owner’s attitude, which I also experienced but he mostly appeared to be cheeky and not outwardly mean. Don’t let those reviews turn you away from getting a takeaway nasi goreng from this toko, you’ll only be dealing with him for 2 minutes for an absolutely delicious meal!

We buy giant packs of Tempeh and yummy soya beans here. They also have delicious Indonesian take away. You can choose to take it home cold so you can heat it up there which is our favorite option. They also have a ton of vegan options.

Pre prepared food. Some dishes are really good and some are not so great. It's better to buy items A la carte than ordering the meal (expensive)

Makassar sells tasty and well prepared take away meals. But the real winner here are their snacks. Their home made indonesian snacks are the best in the Amsterdam area. Definitely try their: risolles, kroket and martabak chicken. Note: expect a line during rush hours. One of the owners / personnel (one of the old guys) can be snarky and grumpy, but the rest is helpful and nice. EDIT: things have improved quite a bit with some new additional staff around. And so the review improved.

Probably nothing wrong with the items, but really really rude owners. The old man humiliated me in front of other customers by speaking really loudly when I said I couldn't speak Dutch. Haven't gone back since and to be honest a little bit traumatised to go to other tokos.

Get your Indonesian snacks here. The best place to get them in my opinion. Toko Makassar is really well known in the Indonesian community. I especially recommend the penada, risolles and perkedel jagung. I'm getting hungry just writing about it haha
