Seven Wonders of Flavors at Le Meridien Jakarta

Embark on a rich culinary adventure as the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan stretches along Le Meridien Jakarta's seven distinct dining venues. Each venue offers an authentic and immersive iftar experience, showcasing a diverse selection of flavours and traditions that celebrate the essence of togetherness and indulgence from 1st to 30th March 2025.

“We would like to provide an unparalleled dining experience that stands out from others this Ramadan,” said Refly Saputro, Director of Sales & Marketing. “What sets us apart is the diversity of our offerings across seven unique venues, each providing a distinct culinary journey that caters to different tastes and preferences. We aim to create memorable moments for our guests, making this Ramadan truly special.”

First, indulge in a culinary journey across the archipelago at Samara (Sajian Makanan Nusantara), located in the Puri Asri room. Featuring comfort food from Sumatera, Java, and Jakarta, this venue promises a nostalgic journey through the rich culinary heritage of Nusantara priced at IDR 198,000++ per person with a special “Buy 5 Get 1 Free” promotion.

Craving the vibrant flavours of street food? Marché Le Meridien offers a redefined “pasar” experience. Discover the fiery heat of Nasi Tempong, the comforting familiarity of Nasi Campur Tegal, Nasi Goreng Kampung, and Mie Goreng Jawa, all culminating in the refreshing sweetness of Es Dawet Ayu. Nestled poolside at Le Méridien Jakarta, this unique dining destination blends the rich, soulful flavours of Indonesia’s beloved street food with an elevated twist. Enjoy this experience for IDR 238,000++ per person with a “Buy 10 Get 1 Free” offer.

Imagine stepping into No Na Ma, where the ambience immediately transports you to the heart of Japan. The Shokunin Iftar Buffet is a feast for the senses, offering a delightful array of Japanese delicacies. As you walk through the buffet, the aroma of freshly prepared dishes fills the air. The Noodle and Curry Station beckons with its variety of steaming noodles and rich, flavourful curries, each bowl a comforting embrace. Nearby, the Fresh Cut Sashimi station showcases the artistry of Japanese cuisine, with expertly sliced pieces of fish that melt in your mouth. The Agemono and Tempura section offers a symphony of textures, with crispy, golden- brown bites that are light yet bursting with flavour.

“This year marks the first time we have opened No Na Ma as one of the iftar destinations at Le Meridien,” said Cindra Dewi, Director of Food & Beverages. “Of course, this is a unique choice because breaking the fast with Japanese food is not common, but we have received a lot of feedback from regular guests to keep the buffet open during Ramadan.”

Moreover, the sushi selection is a visual and gastronomic delight, with rolls that range from traditional to innovative, each piece a testament to the skill of the chefs. This buffet is available for IDR 238,000++ per person, with a special “Buy 2 Get 3” offer for reservations before 10th March.

The vibrant and aromatic world of Indian cuisine comes alive at Ramzan Ode to Iftar at Handi Restaurant. The experience begins with Pani Puri, a beloved street food that offers a burst of tangy tamarind water with every bite of the crispy puris. Next, the Dahi Balla provides a refreshing contrast, with soft lentil dumplings soaked in creamy yogurt and topped with a medley of chutneys. The Chaat Galore section is a carnival of flavours, with spicy, tangy, and sweet notes dancing on your palate. The Ramzan Set Thali is a feast in itself, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options that showcase the diversity and richness of Indian culinary traditions.

“As you savour each dish, the sweet Narangi Kulfi offers a creamy, citrusy delight, while the refreshing Rooh Afza drink cools you down, leaving you ready for more,” said Cindra. You may enjoy this offering from IDR 450,000++ per person.

Additionally, Al Nafoura at Le Meridien Jakarta invites you to embark on a Middle Eastern culinary journey with its Lebanese Iftar Oasis. The centrepiece of this experience is the Lamb Ouzi, a traditional dish where tender lamb is cooked to perfection with fragrant rice and a blend of spices, creating a symphony of flavours that is both comforting and exotic. The Shorbe Adas, a hearty lentil soup, warms your soul with its rich, earthy flavours. And for dessert, the Turkish Ice Cream offers a unique treat with its distinctive texture and elasticity, a delightful end to your meal.
