Minahasa - Chicago

One of my favorite spots in the city. It’s so nice to see an Indonesian restaurant and after visiting nearby Singapore and Malaysia I can confirm it’s pretty authentic! I’ve had the rendang and (pictured) nasi goreng. Excellent food!

Ayam chicken bites spicy (nice heat). rice a bit dry by evening time, thus best as a lunch place. nice to have something unique

Had the beef rendang and yellow rice. Fantastic food and really excited to find authentic indonesian food in Chicago.

The food is amazing, the only complaint is that my friend ordered the Soto Ayam and the broth was cold upon arrival.

Minahasa is located in a nice plaza full of other restaurants and cafes. Haven't had too much Indonesian food but the Nasi Goreng was pretty good. The quantity was sufficient with a nice blend of ingredients and enough spice to give it a kick without being overwhelming. It was a bit on the pricier side ~16. They give a shrimp chip and a Kopi coffee candy with each meal which is a nice touch. Also the egg rolls are hugeeee so keep that in mind if you get them
