Arak Junction

Your go-to for Indonesian eats with a generous side portion of fun, Arak Junction is diverting diners in the direction of foodie heaven.

Boasting a prime spot in the CBD, Arak Junction is in the perfect position to catch after-work drinkies and mid-evening munchies. It's cool, casual and colourful with an abundance of engulfing armchairs and sofas, all illuminated by a ceiling of fairy lights and some party-ready neon tubes. Drenched in a deep purple glow, Arak is at once seductive and playful, enticing diners over for a dinner that has plenty of disco potential.

Indonesia might be one of the closest countries to our isolated island, but the plates at Arak Junction bring the vibrancy of Indonesian culture within touching distance. The menu dabbles in shared dining with an immense plate of beef ribs served with yellow noodles and veggies, the meat feast that is the Nasi Bali and a grilled lamb shoulder with rice cakes.

As for individual plates, no Indonesian menu is complete without the classic nasi goreng, mie goreng or nasi Padang. For something more off-piste, opt for an Indonesian rice porridge, some deep-fried fish or a round of chicken bao buns. Wash it down with their regional Bintang beer or tropical cocktail. After all, your night has only just begun.
