Kaum, meaning “clan” or “tribe” in Indonesian, is an authentic Indonesian restaurant from the Potato Head Family. Before launching the first two outlets in Hong Kong and then Bali, the team behind Kaum embarked on an exotic culinary expedition, travelling across the archipelago to learn about the indigenous cooking methods, exotic ingredients, and authentic flavours of Indonesia’s tribal communities.

The culinary collective also developed engaging relationships with many ethnic tribes and responsible small-scale producers around Indonesia, recognising their craftsmanship and the quality of their distinctive local produce. As a result of these efforts, both the menu and ambience at Kaum showcase genuine flavours that accurately reflect Indonesia’s heritage.

The flagship location of Potato Head Family’s Indonesian dining concept Kaum and home to diverse and original Indonesian cultural programming. Already open in Hong Kong - where it was included in the Michelin Guide for Hong Kong & Macau 2017 - and Bali, Kaum Jakarta is ready to welcome diners in Indonesia’s capital.

"Kaum Jakarta restaurant in Central Jakarta has been named Restaurant of the Year at the inaugural Jakarta’s Best Eats Awards" - The Jakarta Post

"Elsewhere, the classic Bebek Betutu is another easy favourite with its tender yet crispy meat. Luckily, nothing is too plebeian for Kaum. Even the common Batagor finds its way in the menu as a great option for starter. Equally not to be missed are their traditional desserts, such as Kue Lumpur, Lapis Surabaya Selai Nanas Madu and Klappertaart, which end the meal effortlessly with bliss and a quick trip down the memory lane." - Manual jakarta

"Potato Head Family brings Kaum to Jakarta, after opening restaurants of the same name in Hong Kong and Bali. Kaum serves a menu of forgotten Indonesian ingredients and cooking techniques, with family style presentation" - Harper's BAZAAR Indonesia
