About Awang Kitchen

Awang Kitchen is an Indonesian restaurant in Elmhurst, Queens, at 84-05 Queens Boulevard, serving Jakartan flavour. The restaurant began in Awang's own kitchen, where he cooked for his family to cure his homesickness, and from those beginnings it grew into eight years of catering for the Indonesian community in New York before finding a permanent home on Queens Boulevard. The menu is built around the dishes of Jakarta. Beef rendang leads a list that includes ayam goreng kremes, bebek goreng sambel ijo, soto Betawi, bakso, tempeh mendoan, gado gado and tongseng, the kind of dishes that anchor an Indonesian table. Alongside the Indonesian dishes, the restaurant also serves sushi and bibimbap, a reminder of the neighbourhood's mix of cuisines. On Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant hosts karaoke nights, when the dining room turns into an evening of singing and food. The restaurant has been covered by NY Eater, the New York Times and Indonesian press. The restaurant's story is one of homesickness turned into a business: cooking that started at home for family, then for the wider Indonesian community, and now for anyone who walks through the door on Queens Boulevard. Awang Kitchen is open seven days a week, Monday to Sunday from 12:00 to 22:00. Orders can be placed for delivery through Grubhub, and the restaurant can be reached on +1 347-492-9264 or by email at [email protected]. Its website is awangkitchen.com. For anyone in Elmhurst looking for the flavours of Jakarta, Awang Kitchen offers a menu that began at a family stove and grew, through eight years of catering, into a restaurant that serves the Indonesian community of New York.
