"A great find in Delft! The food was heel lekker, simple yet flavorful. You choose either rice or noodles and add veggie and meat options. Every side veggie dish we tried was delicious. The “spicy” wasn’t too intense but had just enough kick for any palate.
The lady working there was kind and took the time to explain the dishes, making it easier for us to choose. The other staff members were friendly as well. Good food, good price, worth a visit if you are in the area."

"Excellent food. I've had little Indonesian food before, but the tempeh, shrimp - noodles were tasty. As the proprietor said, even the spicy was just "European spicy" but excellent nonetheless"

Where to eat in Delft by a local for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Whenever I’m in Delft and I’m looking for a quick yet reasonable dinner, I stop by Toko Idola. This small Indonesian toko doesn’t look like much, but its staff is incredibly friendly and the food is delicious. It’s more of a take-out place, but you’re close enough to the canals that you can bring your food with you if you wish to sit outside elsewhere.

Bij Toko Idola kan je even een hapje eten of een maaltijd afhalen. Dit Indonesische restaurant wordt gerund door de familie Tedjawardana: vader en moeder staan in de keuken, zoon Edo runt de winkel. De meeste gerechten zijn Javaans, soms wel met een Hollandse twist.
