Dailah’s Expansion to Jakarta
The successful Dailah restaurant in Bandung, known for its authentic taste of the archipelago, is opening its first outlet in Jakarta and is located at Jl. Brawijaya III No. 9, South Jakarta. The restaurant, open since July 1, 2024, hopes to serve the nostalgic culinary heritage of the archipelago, which can take diners on a journey of mouth- watering authentic delights. Jakarta, as the center of business and culture, offers a bigger doorway opportunity to introduce the Dailah concept to a wider and more diverse audience. Dailah Jakarta is expected to be a destination where the unique flavors of the archipelago can be appreciated, and the cultural values contained within are preserved and appreciated.
“From the beginning of Dailah’s presence in the city of Bandung to opening a branch in Jakarta, we have always been serious about exploring the richness of Indonesia through culinary and cultural heritage, not just as a calling as an Indonesian, but because of our interest in the legacy of our ancestors who were so rich, with various deep philosophies, each region has its own uniqueness. It’s all interesting to explore. By opening a branch in Jakarta, we hope to further expand our mission, and create connections.” said Dinez Montana, one of Dailah’s founders.
With their presence in Jakarta, Dailah hopes to spread the message of the importance of cultural heritage through food. Dailah believes that every dish is a reflection of cultural identity and heritage, be it the culture of a city, a community or a history. The opening of Dailah in Jakarta is an important step in Dailah’s journey to connect people with their cultural roots through food, which is not only rich in flavor, but also rich in stories of Indonesia’s diverse cultures.
