Satay Sarinah - a hidden gem serves great Indonesian food

Satay Sarinah sits in a strip mall of in Alexandria, Virginia resturants featuring various  international cuisines. Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted and shown to a table.

The menu features beef, poultry, lamb, and seafood dishes at affordable prices.

Appetizers to try: lumpiah (Indonesian spring rolls), lemper (sticky rice pillows stuffed with lemongrass flavored chicken wrapped in banana leaf) . Entrees to try: lamb satay, rendang, nasi goreng jawa (spicy Javanese fried rice), ketropak (a vegetarian dish featuring tofu, bean sprouts, and rice noodles).

The avocado chocolate smoothie is lsited in the beverages section, but I've ordered it for dessert. It is a nice treat.

The staff will politely offer suggestions if you are unsure what to order. Service is quiet, efficient and quick.
Single diners note:  the staff and management makes a special effort to look after single diners.

The bathroom is clean and well maintained.

Satay Sarinah is not within walking distance of a metro station, but can you can visit via metro (Van Dorn Street) and bus or via car.
