Sarang Oci, Indonesian restaurant in Kelapa Dua, Indonesia.
Sarang Oci is a two-story restaurant in Kelapa Dua, a district of Jakarta, Indonesia. It offers both indoor and outdoor seating areas spread across the two floors.
The restaurant was founded to bring traditional Manado cooking from North Sulawesi to Jakarta at a time when this regional cuisine was rarely found in the capital. That focus on a single regional tradition shaped the identity it carries today.
Sarang Oci serves food from Manado, a city in North Sulawesi known for bold and spicy cooking. Dishes like Cakalang Rabe Rica, a spiced skipjack tuna, and Sop Brenebon, a hearty bean soup, give a direct taste of how people eat in that part of Indonesia.
The restaurant is open daily and can accommodate both small groups and larger parties across its two floors. If you want one of the private rooms, it is better to book ahead rather than arrive without a reservation.
The name Sarang Oci roughly translates to "nest" or "gathering place" in the local Manado dialect, which hints at the role the spot plays for people from that community living in Jakarta. It is not just a place to eat but a familiar stop for those who grew up with this food.
