About @Cinta

Carlton’s spice-chasers are quietly dropping pins for this cozy Pelham Street fixture—an absolute masterclass in affordable, unapologetic Indonesian comfort. @Cinta deals in serious flavor density. Think fragrant mounds of coconut-steamed rice laced with salty teri (anchovies), flanked by deeply savory Iga Bakar—succulent grilled beef ribs carrying the perfect charcoal char. Those seeking legit archipelago heat treat the fiery, highly addictive sambal as a strict non-negotiable for dunking juicy ayam bakar and crispy prawns. Grab a table under the eclectic chandeliers among the cultural memorabilia. Order the perfectly balanced, peanut-sauce-drenched chicken satay with lontong—and let the bold, traditional bumbu do the heavy lifting. Fast, fiercely authentic, and incredibly kind to your wallet.

  • Signature Iga Bakar: Succulent, intensely flavorful grilled beef ribs served with traditional sides and conical rice.
  • Authentic Spice & Flavor: Traditional archipelago staples like Nasi Bakar with anchovies, paired with a famously fiery and addictive sambal.
  • Cozy & Wallet-Friendly: A relaxing, clean interior accented with cultural memorabilia and chandeliers, offering exceptional value and student-friendly pricing.
