Surprisingly for the capital of the largest Muslim country in the world, the number of Arab or Middle Eastern restaurants in Jakarta is quite low. I've counted about 25 of them, and I've tried 15. It may seem like a lot, but since Jakarta is so spread, you're not likely to have more than just a few near where you live.

The good thing is that within these, most of them are decent and affordable. In particular, I advise you to try one of the Yemeni restaurants that offer the best value-for-money and the most authenticity.

Here are my favorite Arab or Middle Eastern restaurants in Jakarta:

1) Al Nafoura (Lebanese)

2 Al-Jazeerah (Yemeni)

3) Turkuaz (Turkish)

4) Sinbad (Syrian/Yemeni) - Review not posted yet, the restaurant is located Jl. K.S. Tubun Raya No. 2 in Slipi (Tel: +62-21 530 8366)

5) Beirut Lebanon (Lebanese)

6) Hadramout (Yemeni)

As usual, I will update this list as I discover new restaurants. You're welcome to comment as well. Also in case you are looking for Arab bars and clubs, there is a very popular one on Jalan Sudirman called De Leila.
