South Jakarta’s latest upscale dining spot turns familiar flavors into fine art, a homey haven for both soulful meals and polished MICE gatherings.

TAMU welcomes guests with interiors steeped in warmth: wooden accents, soft textures, and earthy tones that evoke the comfort of home. Yet beyond its nostalgic charm, the restaurant’s brightly lit inner hall is purpose-built for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), making it a versatile venue for both intimate gatherings and professional events.

The culinary philosophy is simple yet profound, “nostalgic yet dynamic’. It’s a concept that honors tradition and surprises the senses. Each plate is a dialogue between memory and innovation, designed to spark recognition and delight. Signature dishes that reinterpret childhood favorites include Itiak Lado Mudo, duck breast that’s refined into a delicate smokiness and presented as artful sharing portions served with green chili, sauteed mushroom and crunchy flakes. Udang Bakar Madu (Honey-Grilled Prawn), premium tiger prawns grilled over open fire into charred perfection, then brushed with a glaze of local honey accompanied with mango sambal. The sweetness of the honey balances beautifully with the gentle heat of the spices, giving a flavor that’s both bold and comforting.

Among many, TAMU also introduces dynamic twists on classics such as Konro Pipi Sapi with beef Consommé, braised beef cheek paired with steamed pumpkin on top of peanut sauce and also Gurame Goreng Sambal Mangga, deep fried battered gourami fish served under a blanket of thinly sliced mango sambal. TAMU playfully reinvents appetizing salad with Rujak Ikan, yellow-Tail sashimi served fresh accompanied with slices of jicama, watermelon, pineapple and pomegranate.

Attentive yet unobtrusive service guides diners through the nostalgic inspirations behind each dish. The curated wine and cocktail list from the bar on the second floor complements Indonesia’s bold flavors, bridging local heritage with global sophistication. TAMU is more than a restaurant—it’s a cultural ode. By weaving together the comfort of Indonesian heritage with contemporary artistry, it sets a new benchmark for upscale dining in South Jakarta. Whether for soulful meals or polished corporate gatherings, TAMU delivers warmth, wonder, and a taste of memory reimagined.

No Big Deal, Just Jakarta’s First Solera Whisky

OSMO, Jakarta’s newest cocktail bar, redefines the classics with a playful philosophy of “bastardized” drinks and introduces Indonesia’s first Solera Whisky program. Its debut menu, No Big Deal, transforms everyday micro‑moments—like pressing “Skip Intro” on Netflix or ticking off a grocery list—into signature cocktails that feel both familiar and surprising. Highlights include creations such as OSMO’s Grocery List (turmeric and honeysuckle tequila with pandan and lime), Skip Intro (shiso vodka with yuzu and green tea yogurt), and interactive twists like Up. To. Me., where guests choose their own flavor path. Complementing the drinks are inventive bar snacks—Sate Padang, Smoked Duck Dry Ramen, Crispy Fire Shrimp, and Cireng Oncom—that reinterpret comfort food with a modern edge.

Beyond its menu, OSMO is designed as an inclusive yet elevated space where guests are at the center of the experience. The venue blends contemporary architecture with communal seating, curated R&B and Afrohouse soundscapes, and a signature shot ritual inspired by Balinese tradition. Founded by Agung “El Hombre” Satria—an award‑winning bartender with international acclaim—under the TOMA Group, OSMO cements Jakarta’s growing reputation as one of Asia’s cocktail capitals. With its blend of global perspective and local originality, the bar positions itself not just as a neighborhood destination but as a platform for cultural exchange and future international collaborations.
