" One of the best out there! Every single dish was amazing and to make our visit even more memorable the staff were also 10/10 from the time we entered to the time we left we felt valued! Our waiter, was very attentive and answered all the questions we had regarding the dishes. Food tasted authentic and full of flavour in every bite. Definitely a must try for spicy food lovers "

Kamrul AliCustomer

" All the dishes we tried were really flavorful and prepared with great care. We especially enjoyed the yellow rice and the beef rendang, which was packed with flavors and super tender. The staff was really attentive and friendly and the place was elegantly decorated. The atmosphere in the restaurant can be quite lively. "

SophieCustomer

" Absolutely stunning food! Indonesian restaurants are rare unfortunately - and I didn’t find such a great one in Europe so far. This restaurant opened only some days ago, but it’s already perfectly organized. Besides the great dishes the surrounding and the welcoming staff make the experience perfect. We have been here 2 times and all dishes are so super tasty. Staff is extremely friendly and concerned on allergies etc. Wish you open a second branch of Toba restaurant in my neighborhood, soon 😉 "

Kate DCustomer

"a month ago It was my first time trying Indonesian food and was amazed by the taste! The restaurant is full of Indonesian customers and they were mostly returned customers too. So you know this is authentic Indonesian and must be really good. I had high expectations at the start already, and the food even exceeded my expectations. I particularly like all the tempeh dishes (forgive me I can’t remember the name) One was deep fried fritter, the other one is in coconut soup. And make sure you try the cassava cake for dessert, there is nothing like this in London, exceptional taste 👌🏻 👌🏻"

Cinvi TongCustomer

" Really good quality, authentic Indonesian food. The flavours are mouth watering. Their grilled king prawns was amazing. Pancakes were also lovely - very different. Thank you! "

This review is based on 2 occasions visited and I have to say both times.. 10/10. First of all the service was second to none, Moudy looked after us both times very well, very attentive and patient. The whole waiting staff was simply amazing, from entry, a warm welcome and seated. They refilled our water whenever our glasses were empty. Second the food was amazing, the lamb shank is a must have to be honest, one of the best we’ve had, authentic! The beef randang was also very good, the flavours were excellent. The manager, Vanessa was a star and approached us at multiple times to ensure we were comfortable and didn’t lack anything. We cannot thank her enough. Finally Chef Pino, as humble as he is, also approached us and made sure we enjoyed the food. They all made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Very pleasant experience and their customer service is simply above amazing. Overall, we will visit again for sure.

" For those who love delicious spicy Asian food - look no further! Toba showcases traditional Indonesian food that deserves a bigger spotlight in this city! I must point out that the prices were very reasonable considering the location. Me and my dining partners tried a wide variety of dishes and we could not fault any of them. My personal highlights were the Rendang, lamb shank curry (Gulai Kambing) and the Balinese chicken (Ayam Betutu). Also, the service was very attentive and with beautiful décor to match. I will happily return on a frequent basis! "

Pat NguyenCustomer

" I've been fortunatant enough to dine at over 1000 restaurants in over a decade of blogging, in that time I've rarely given a place 10/10 (unlike every influencer today that's gives everything a 10) This was one of my favourite food experiences I've had. If you are reading this, stop and book a table now. I was in Indonesia for over month in 2021 and have a deep love for the food and culture."

Halal Food GuyCustomer

" Definitely a must-visit Indonesian restaurant in London. I ordered soto betawi, urap, and salted egg chicken for the main dish and overall it is 4.5 stars for the taste. The salted egg chicken is not the best (the taste is more cheesy rather than salted egg-y), but the other was literally legit & the taste is on-point for Indonesian taste buds. The staff are also friendly and welcoming. I did not reserve a table at that time but they tried to accommodate it at the bar table which is also fine. Price-wise, it's a bit more premium but comparing it to the overall dining experience, I will surely come back to try another menu."

Nela NavidaCustomer

" Love love Toba London! The authenticity of the Indonesian food, the ambiance, the cleanliness, and the friendly staff. Try the satay, the lamb and the yellow rice guys! I wish more variety of Indonesian dessert to come. Vegetarian options: They have the tempe, corn and vegetable fritters. We tried the tofu & kale curry based and it was so good. Try yourself! "

Devi TriannaCustomer

" Went to Toba for the second time last night. Without a doubt, this is THE Restaurant to go to for an authentic Indonesian food in London. Everything on the menu was delicious. Also, they elevated the food presentation to suit fine dining. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner on both occasions, we will be back, no doubt! 😋 Make sure you try this restaurant next time you're in central London! "

Novida BarnesCustomer

" An elevated Indonesian dining experience. It's fantastic to see succent juicy satays, gulai kambing (lamb stew), and gudeg (jackfruit) done authentically and perfectly. Execution of upmarket service can be improved (i.e. we didn't get enough time for dessert due 90min rez allocation, slow water refill with staff being so busy, confusion with bill etc.) but overall this has to be one of the best Indonesian restaurants in town, if not all of Western Europe. A joy to visit and shall be back for that dessert and brunch."

Sani ArioCustomer

" I was really impressed by this place! Don't be fooled, it punches above its weight class! Hidden in the backstreets of Picadilly Circus, Toba is a small and cosy restaurant serving delicious Indonesian food. Chicken Sate and Beef Rendang were amazing! And make sure to save space for dessert 🙂 "

Alex BjerkholtCustomer

" A must visit Indonesian restaurant in London! The whole menu is halal with wide ranging of Indonesian foods signature. The Gulai Kambing (Minangkabau-style Lamb Shank Curry) is a top-notch 👌🏻 Dietary restrictions: Halal "

Faza Fawzan BastariantoCustomer

" Excellent place. Despite being a sharing concept, the plates were regularly sized so after 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts we were stuffed. But fear not, we’ll be back to try more of the mains! Staff was super friendly and happy to give menu recommendations or explanations. Paid £45pp without alcohol."

AlfredCustomer

" Food was delicious, both starters and mains. Good portions, very tasty. The menu includes many options for vegan and vegetarian choices. Some dishes do not include rice, so needs to be added separately. Loved the chicken skewers and tempes - absolutely recommend "

Loran AniseedCustomer

" We had a lovely weekday lunch here at Toba. Service was attentive and they took allergies seriously. The food was brilliant. Our party was familiar with Indonesian food and we were all impressed with the refined presentation and preparation. Lovely, lovely place, I will be returning again and again "
