Betawi Restaurant in Karama: Cheap Indonesian Cuisine
This Betawi restaurant was a bit difficult to find at the beginning, but we were accompanied by newfound friends who have already been there. It’s actually just a small restaurant tucked inside a street in Karama. Despite the size, they serve a variety of dishes from Indonesia and the prices are actually not bad!

Their main meals cost a minimum of 25 AED (excluding drinks). This is a good deal especially for those who are looking for unique finds in the city. Here’s the food that we ordered.
