Makan-Makan in Freiburg im Breisgau

Very nice restaurant, great food, friendly and attentive service, good value for money, full marks after a lovely evening for four!

Spring rolls, tempeh goreng and ayam goreng. The food was great and the portions were large, I can especially recommend the tempeh :)

Lovely food, tasty and nice portions. The staff very friendly. Good value for money.

We've been to the makan several times before, but today was the first time since they moved. The restaurant is really nice, you now have a lot more space and in the summer you can sit outside. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly.

One of the best restaurants in Freiburg, definitely worth a visit. Service also 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars! 👍

Tried lunch menu (rice, chicken, fried vegetables and some fritters on the side), nasi goreng (baked rice) and small portion of gado-gado. The taste of Nasi Goreng and Gado-Gado was dominated by Kaffir lime leaves. Unfortunately, I didn't like the kaffir lime leaf stems in the peanut sauce 🫤 The chicken at Nasi Campur was served in a red sauce that I couldn't compare to any Indonesian dish myself, even though I'm Indonesian and have traveled domestically from west to east. The taste of the sambal was dominated by tomatoes and very finely blended, it was almost like tomato juice. The atmosphere was cozy. The taste of the dishes was pure. Service was top 👍 I didn't find the taste authentically Indonesian, but it was certainly a very mild introduction to Indonesian cuisine.

Very nice staff, cozy atmosphere and incredibly good food! Price/performance is top, we spent a very nice evening here. Food tastes great, as if you were in Indonesia. We'll definitely be back!

This is a wonderful Indonesian restaurant. There are not many around, sadly. The food is delicious, comparable to the best I've tried. We come from Basel regularly.

My husband and I deliberately drove from the first canton of Gallen to Freiburg to eat Indonesian food. We drove quite a distance just to be able to experience the taste of Indonesian cuisine again, so we decided to spend the night in a hotel in Freiburg so that we could have dinner and lunch at this restaurant. I'm originally from Indonesia and miss Indonesian food. I searched for information for a long time and finally found the information from the internet and this restaurant got a high rating. I was a little disappointed because no one was directly told when the kitchen closed, so we couldn't order the dessert we wanted. They forgot to give us crackers, but the boss was nice and gave us a free dessert because they forgot to give us crackers. And then at lunch the boss gave me extra sambal, I really respect that. I know very well what rendang and peanut sauce taste like, but I am quite disappointed with this because it was far from my expectations. I won't say anything about the other dishes because I think they're enough, but I was pretty disappointed with the rendang and peanut sauce. Just before you eat rendang, you can already smell the scent of the rendang if it is really delicious rendang. As for the peanut sauce, Indonesian peanut sauce doesn't taste good at all to me, even the color is pale. If it's the ingredients in the dish that are a hindrance, it seems impossible considering that you can easily get them in Asian markets these days. Due to the limited ingredients, it doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the Indonesian taste, but at least don't rely on the beaten path in terms of taste. So that people who don't know can know that Indonesian food is full of flavor and not just flat. *Ayam Goreng, starter plate, Nasi Goreng (with shrimp, chicken, egg and vegetables), Nasi Campur Ayam, Dadar Gulung and Pisang Goreng are good

I had dinner with two colleagues at 6:30 p.m. - with a reservation. The food was very tasty. At 8:15 p.m. we wanted to order desserts. After looking at the clock, the waitress told us that it was "too late" for that. Our table was reserved for new guests from 8:30 p.m. Super!! We were not informed about the time limit either when making the reservation or otherwise. The nice evening was over, the mood was subdued and we were slightly sour. That was our annual department lunch - we would have liked to have stayed seated with dessert and drinks. At least they could have asked us much earlier - when clearing away the main course - whether we would like another dessert. There will be a star deduction for the sudden end of the evening without prior information. This makes it uncomfortable and gives it a fast food feel.

Our spring rolls and the main course were great 👍🏻

Despite a good recommendation, we didn't like the Makan that much. The fact that we had to wait 45 minutes for our food and the drinks took forever may have been due to the nature of the day or the service situation on this particular day, but the food itself - with the exception of the excellent spring rolls - was not as impressive as we had hoped. Our memory of Indonesian cuisine in our home country was simply different. All in all, grade 3.

Always delicious, highly recommended

Always very tasty, fine food and authentic ambience. Highly recommended. Unfortunately currently closed. There's a message on the door about moving.

Super friendly team, harmonious atmosphere, Friendly atmosphere, super tasty food, That was really missing in Freiburg! Unique. Was at the internal opening banquet and definitely have to come back for dinner. Compliments for this great restaurant. It's really an enrichment of Freiburg's gastronomic scene!!!

We spontaneously decided, including prior online reservations, to eat here on the holiday (Reunification Day), also to get to know the new location. It is now much more spacious, pleasantly bright, and somewhat simply furnished, which in turn fits very well with the overall ambience. We had Nasi Goreng - one with shrimp, one with chicken and pre-made spring rolls. All very tasty. The hit was our desserts Pisang Goreng with passion fruit ice cream and, as a surprise, Klepons, which Jonas personally served us. Mega I haven't eaten since I was a child :)

I am a big fan of Makan Makan and have often visited the old location on Lehener Straße. Two days ago I had the opportunity to try out the new, larger location - and I was thrilled! The ambience is really successful - modern and cozy at the same time, with a lot more space, but the charm and family atmosphere have remained. But what's more important: the taste is just as excellent as before! My personal favorite dish is the Babi Ketjap. The pork belly is braised in an incredibly aromatic Ketjap sambal sauce and comes with refried beans and fragrant rice. Another highlight are the grilled chicken satay skewers with homemade peanut sauce, colorful vegetables and fragrant rice are a delight. The peanut sauce is particularly creamy and harmonizes perfectly with the juicy grilled skewers. For lovers of Indonesian cuisine, Makan Makan is an absolute must

The food was delicious, the service was great, despite the restaurant being full. Tables a bit close together but it was still a great visit.

Recently moved to Freiburg and finally an Indonesian restaurant nearby! Great service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. We love being there and are glad that Makan exists! Keep it up! PS: Put 'Bubur Ketan Hitam' on the menu as a dessert! I would celebrate that.

Went to the new store for the first time last night and (like the old store) we were thrilled. I can particularly recommend the vegetarian/vegan dishes - both the starter for 2 people and the tempeh dish were great. Very large portions and completely justified prices. We will come back! :-)

We ate here because of the good reviews and the Neotaste membership. Positive: The food itself was delicious. At the beginning we had a starter plate that contained several small, mainly fried, dishes. That was delicious. For the main course we had the dishes 'Jackfruit' and 'Udang'. We liked it too, although everything tasted very similar. I'm not sure if it was the cilantro. The portions were very large. You were definitely full :) The location itself was really cozy. In the evening the beautiful fairy lights came on, which looked very nice. Negative: As I mentioned before, we came here via Neotaste. This means that we have booked one visit or one (of two) free meals for the evening (between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.). At the beginning you have to mention that you are here via this app. We were told straight away that Neotaste no longer worked today. It was 7 p.m. The validity period only started at 5 p.m. In any case, the waitress kindly let us go through, although we still asked ourselves why the restaurant was participating in Neotaste if it didn't want to comply with the conditions. In any case, it really dampened the mood right at the beginning. Even though all the tables outside were occupied, there were only two waitresses in charge of the area (I think also inside). Unfortunately, this was noticeable in the waiting time for the food and drinks as well as in the mood of the guests and the waitresses. They were never rude, but they did look very stressed and sometimes helpless. You could tell how hard they were trying, but the hectic pace and the slightly irritable nature of the guests made the atmosphere quite depressing. You had the feeling that you wouldn't want to order another drink so that you wouldn't put any additional stress on the waitresses. I think if that was an exception, you can recommend the restaurant. The food was good, the location was nice and the service was friendly. There should only be several of them :) However, it didn't work at all with Neotaste.

We found this unique style Indonesian food speciality restaurant on a day trip to Freiburg. The food was great ! All of my friends liked what they ordered. I had the “Ayam Goreng” I it was amazing - watch out for the red chilli sauce you (very hot but great fun). Lemonade is also refreshing on a summer day

What can I say...very tasty :) Thank you for that.

Everything perfect, the superior nasi-goreng and the superb chicken curry... For 4 people with drinks and a beer, leaving full and super satisfied for €105 Truly recommended

The food is authentic and very tasty. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Gladly again!

All dishes were very enak (Indonesian for delicious)! My wife is Indonesian and she was impressed by how authentic the food was. The nuts in the homemade tasty peanut sauce were e.g. B. not completely pureed. My jackfruit dish was also very well balanced. The owner and the waitress are very friendly and helpful. We learned that they will soon be moving to a larger location so that they can treat more guests to the delicious food at the same time 😊 We will be back!

Food was fine. Establishment bit small.

This is a nice little restaurant run by friendly staff. We would be happy to come back.

The taste is really authentic and the portion is also okay

Very tasty, very friendly. I can highly recommend it and will definitely come back.

The food was absolutely delicious. Can recommend it wholeheartedly :) They totally responded to our wishes, which didn't have to be the case in the situation😊

Super nice conditions with which you can laugh a lot. Super tasty food and the price is okay. Very popular so it's best to reserve. Nasi Goreng was awesome

Small and very fine. Reservations in advance are good.

Perfect. Great restaurant. Great food and everyone was very friendly

Very tasty, I can only recommend it!

Lovely little restaurant with nice staff & excellent food. They have proper spicy sambal will totally go back

All in all, a real insider tip for Asian restaurants. It's probably no longer so secret, as reservations are absolutely necessary for the few places available. It's better not to come spontaneously when you're hungry. When you make a reservation, there is a time slot, but you will be treated very nicely and with the best Asian delicacies (also vegetarian and vegan). The sauces for the varied and very tasty starter dishes range from brilliant to really Asian spicy. Tip: Don't take the small table at the entrance, where there is a draft and everyone walks past you.

The Makan Makan seems very small at first, but in terms of service and food it can keep up very well with the larger ones, which is certainly not always easy given the variety of dishes compared to the throughput of guests per evening. The starters were extremely good and the main courses were in no way inferior in almost all cases. Only the tempeh could have been a little juicier. Even as a good eater, I had to have the rest packed up; the combination was too good to just pick out the morsels and let the rest go back. The homemade lime iced tea left us wanting more. The service was very friendly and always kept eye contact with the table in case someone needed something without feeling like they had to maximize consumption. The atmosphere is very cozy and overall very quiet despite the dining room being full. This is an ideal place, especially if you are planning a meeting where there will be a lot of talking. One point deducted for the somewhat low tables in the atmosphere but overall definitely worth 5 stars. I'm extremely impressed and it's definitely not the last time I've been there and can therefore recommend the Makan Makan in Freiburg without exception

Friendly, courteous and welcoming ambience! Cosy comforts with all the yummyness you need for an evening out… Unfortunately , the bakso was not available that day but the soto ayam as starters, followed by a huge portion of Nasi Padang for two and desserts that reminded me of home — was absolutely perfect! Be sure to make reservations as space is limited but the hospitality sure ain’t!! As a Malaysian whose roots are Indonesian, they made my days

We had a memorable meal: the flavors took us back to a holiday in Indonesia several years ago, it was outstanding 😊. And matched with attentive and friendly service. Well worth a visit.

Horas :) Fried chicken with yellow spices but the spices don't taste at all, soy sauce pork comes out with tomato pork. It's a shame, even though I was already happy that there was an Indonesian restaurant in Baden-Württemberg. After talking to the chef, the reason is because everything is cooked according to typical North Sumatran recipes. Maybe it would be good if the name of the restaurant was added - North Sumatra behind it :)

Highly Recommended! Authentic, fresh and high quality food, rounded off with great craftsmanship! Will definitely visit you again.

We were recently in Indonesia and are sooooo happy to have found MAKAN MAKAN. Really authentic cuisine and super tasty!

Nice restaurant with a nice vibe. The service was very friendly. I like that the menu has different items than what you generally get in most Asian restaurants. The preparations were fresh and well prepared, also tasty however we found it a bit bland. For example the sambal (as far as we know is supposed to be spicy) was more like a tomato sauce. We had to order the spicy one separately and it came as an addition rather than a replacement of the mild one and even the spicy one was only very mildly spicy. Every dish that had sambal in it came with the bland mild one again. Why not just exchange the sambal with the "spicy" version for the people who specifically order it? Similarly the dishes themselves seemed to lack spices, I assume the taste is heavily adjusted to German spice (in)tolerance, because as far as I know Indonesia is known for spicy food. So the food was tasty and at the same time a bit disappointing. The mixed starter plate was very tasty though, by far the best dish we had.

Very small, very tasty! Reservations!!

Ein wunderbares Restaurant im Herzen vom Stühlinger, das ein Geschmackserlebnis verspricht. Wir waren jetzt schon einige Male da und es war immer top. Wer einmal etwas anderes ausprobieren möchte ist bei diesem Indonesier genau richtig. Nur das Platzangebot ist begrenzt, daher lieber reservieren.

Geschmackserlebnis, freundlicher Service und auch super zum Mitnehmen. Es gibt nur wenig, was Take Away auch noch daheim gut schmeckt.

I really like the food, it is similar to the original taste. I hope that more Indonesian menus will be served in the future.

Service was very good. Would go there again if I am around.

Sehr gutes Essen und sehr nettes Personal War auch preislich ziemlich fair 👍🏼

The food was so delicious I ate here twice during my stay in Freiburg.

Niesamowicie mała knajpka z fajnym klimatem i genialnym jedzeniem. Jest to jedna z niewielu restauracji która trzyma poziom od początku. Będziemy tam wracać już zawsze.

Niezwykle swiezo, pachnaco i smakowicie, czego chciec wiecej? Po prostu uczta dla podniebienia :-) Brawo dla kucharza, bo odwala kawal dobrej roboty! Wlasciciel lokalu oraz serwis tez bardzo mili. Goraco polecam :-)

Unique Indonesia flavors in the town, the spiciness had modified for German and personally I prefer more spicy but still OK. The space is really small and tables are limited, will be better to make a reservation in advance for dine in.

Kleines, aber feines Restaurant. Die Frühlingsrollen sind ein Traum. Mie Goreng auch sehr lecker. Schön das hier frisch und nicht mit den üblichen 0815 Soßen gekocht wird. Super nettes Personal, alles Tip-top!

Muy buena la comida y buen precio. Volveremos mas veces.

Ich gehe hier einfach gern hin, es schmeckt so gut und es wird immer sehr ansprechend angerichtet. Saucen und Frühlingsrollen sind zum Beispiel selbst gemacht. Nicht aus der Dose oder dem Tiefkühlschrank.

This is authentic Indonesia restaurant in Germany. Sate was wonderful and teh sambal is very spice. It's recommended to make reservation before

Kleines, von Aussen unscheinbares Restaurant, hat aussen 3 Tische. Aber sehr leckeres Essen. Sehr netter und super freundlicher Kellner. Wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch, denn es schmeckt außerordentlich gut.

Sehr zu empfehlen! Super lecker und der Service war sehr schnell und freundlich.

Super Essen, Personal und Ambiente. Sehr klein, dafür gemütlich

I came twice and it was closed!

Leckeres, authentisches Essen und super netter und aufmerksamer Service.

Tolles Restaurant, toller Inhaber und das Essen ist einfach nur ein Traum. Wir gehen regelmäßig und sind jedes Mal mehr als zufrieden.

Wow what a gem! We did a day trip to Freiburg specifically to try this Indonesian restaurant. We visited it twice because the menu is quite extensive. It was so delicious. Cozy atmosphere and five star customer service. They even offer Nasi Padang (min. 2 person). Highly recommend the lamb curry, tofu opor, kopi susu (amazing coffee!), herbal tea (super delicious tea!), mixed appetizer (spring roll, tahu isi, bakwan), and tuna curry. The freshly made sambal was also very lovely. Truly a fantastic restaurant in Freiburg and recommended for everybody!

Zum mitnehmen bestellt, schnell fertig, sehr freundliches Personal und das Essen war sehr lecker

Sehr gutes und preiswertes Essen

Sehr lecker!!! Super frische Zutaten und schön abgerichtet. Leider muss ich noch alles von der Karte ausprobieren ;-)

Ich hatte mich sehr, sehr gefreut, endlich wieder indonesisch zu essen. Das Bakwang war auch genau so, wie ich es kenne, muss aber ehrlich sagen dass mir der Rest nicht so gut geschmeckt hat, meinem Mann ebenso nicht. Die Bedienung war aber mega freundlich und ist auch an uns, dass wir nicht direkt was gesagt haben. Vielleicht hätten wir einfach was anderes bestellen sollen :)

As an Indonesian, I was very impressed with this restaurant. The food was VERY delicious, the portion was filling, and the service was good, even though the food took a bit of time to arrive. Out of the Indonesian restaurants that I have tried in Germany, I would say that this is one of the best ones. Hope to come back here again someday, hopefully soon!

Exceptionally tasty food, beautifully presented and authentically Indonesian. A real treat, in a small street side restaurant

Unglaublich geschmackssintensiv und frisch zubereitet!

Essen absolute Spitzenklasse. Der Service war ebenfalls top!

Super leckeres und authentisches Essen. Hat mich sehr an meine Zeit in Indonesien erinnert. Gut abgeschmeckt, nicht zu scharf und klassisch angerichtet. Der Gastraum ist etwas klein, also rechtzeitig reservieren! Wir hatten einen super schönen Abend und kommen sicher wieder.

so lecker vegan💚 immer wieder gerne!

Klein aber oho, übersichtliche Karte mit guter Auswahl. Lecker auch vegan. Netter Service
