Madura Kitchen is a family run Indonesian restaurant at 97 High Road in Willesden Green. The cooking draws particular inspiration from the island of Madura while also covering familiar dishes from Java and the wider Indonesian archipelago. Food is prepared to order in a relaxed setting, with bold spice, sweet soy and sambal bringing the menu together.
The signature nasi bebek pairs fried duck with a dark Madura sauce, rice, cucumber, tomato, basil and mango sambal. Beef rendang is slowly cooked with coconut milk and spices, while rawon offers braised beef in a deep, earthy broth. Grilled chicken, beef curry, crisp beef with chilli and lamb cooked with sweet soy or red chilli provide further substantial choices.
Starters include chicken or lamb satay with peanut sauce, vegetable spring rolls, prawn tempura, fritters and battered tempeh. Nasi goreng, fried rice noodles and fried egg noodles turn eggs, vegetables and chicken into complete meals. Bakso combines meatballs, vegetables and noodles in beef broth, while Javanese noodles add chicken satay, peanut sauce, sweet soy and pickled vegetables.
Vegetarian dishes use tofu, tempeh, eggs and vegetables with balado chilli or sweet soy seasoning. Pickles and extra sambal let diners sharpen and intensify the main dishes. Banana fritters, pandan pancakes with coconut sugar, sweet tea, soda gembira and cendol provide cooling or sweet finishes to a generous survey of Indonesian comfort food.
