SAMBELANO NUSANTARA VEGETARIAN in Riau Islands

"Everything was deliciously spicy, except one time they used sour mangoes on the mango sago dessert. Staff service was excellent and everything was great. Definitely will keep coming back here. Wish they add more menu variety though."

"Absolutely loved the food here! We ate from this restaurant 3 times during our stay in Batam. Everything was very tasty, good value for money and spicy! As a non-vegetarian myself, I felt the meals were very fulfilling, didn’t feel like anything was missing. Please try Jengkol, Tahu and Tempeh side dishes. Nasi Rames and Any of the Nasi Penyet dishes are tasty!"

"Lovely vegetarian Indonesian restaurant a short distance away from Batam’s Harbour Bay ferry terminal. The dining space is bright, nice and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Food was delicious (all is allium free - no onion, no garlic). We ordered the rice set, the “mock fried chicken” and the “mock prawn and petai/stinky bean). I deducted 1 point for the food (4/5) because the petai given were so little and looked not so fresh. Our total bill came to be about IDR 100,000 (2 rice dish, 1 bean sprout stir fry and 1 hot tea). Quite value for money. Another suggestion is for the restaurant to pay attention to the cleanliness and maintenance of their bathroom. When we were there on 5 Feb 2026, the toilet was wet, the flush was not working and the basin’s faucet was dripping water. It’s a pity given the place looks nice and modern. That said, we’ll be back for the food."

"Spice lovers will love this vegetarian restaurant. Undergoing renovations for around 3 weeks in November (wef 12 Nov). Takeaways and Grab available."

"I really enjoyed the food and the service of the restaurant. The food was amazing. Their chilli was exciting and flavourful. Very Indonesian food that is vegetarian. I am not vegetarian but i will be back for more of their food. Hope they will be selling their chillies soon. My family enjouyed the food too even though they are not used to the flavours"

"Thought the crew did not understand English, their service were ok and food tasted superb, chilli packs a punch, satay and all dishes tasted great but pekedel was the best! We ordered Grab delivery to bring back Singapore even!"

"Very nice food. But not for those who can’t take spicy food.Especially kids, I have a teenage son who can take light Mala but can take their spiciness."

"Review: Great Vegetarian Spot in Baloi! ​Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) ​I recently visited SAMBELANO NUSANTARA VEGETARIAN and had a solid dining experience. If you’re looking for a comfortable meat-free meal in Batam, this is definitely a spot to consider. ​What I Liked: ​Accessibility: The location is very easy to find and access within Ruko Baloi Kusuma Indah. ​ Ambiance: The indoor seating area is comfortable, making it a nice place to sit back and enjoy your meal. ​Service: The staff are genuinely friendly. A special shout-out to Ms. Amel at the cashier, who was particularly welcoming and helpful! ​ Value: Generally, the prices are quite reasonable for the quality of food you get. ​ The Food: ​I tried the Nasi Udang Petai. It was "alright"—tasty enough for a satisfying lunch. A great tip for petai lovers: if you feel the serving is a bit light, you can add an extra portion of petai for only 3,000 IDR. ​A Few Things to Note: ​Payments: They seemed to have a limited amount of cash for change during my visit. To make things smoother, I’d recommend bringing small notes or just paying via BCA to avoid any hassle. ​Service Charge: Keep in mind that a 10% service charge is added to your final bill. ​Overall, it’s a friendly, comfortable spot with good vegetarian options. I’ll likely be back to try more of the menu!"
