1 - 10 people
Multiple dates availableEvery Saturday Lunch, MAKAN turns our dining room into a Padang Restaurant. The Indonesian Padang Restaurant Concept is built around one beautiful idea: sharing many small dishes together at one table. Originating from the Minangkabau culture of West Sumatra and named after the city of Padang, this dining style celebrates abundance, generosity, and togetherness. Where rice is always the centre piece, surrounded by a variety of side dishes The experience is not about ordering individual main courses, it’s about exploring variety together, tasting a little bit of everything, passing dishes around the table and creating conversation through food. The small-plate concept reflects the Minangkabau values of hospitality and community. A Padang meal feels festive — the table becomes full, colourful, and alive. It turns dining into a social ritual where food connects people. In essence, a Padang restaurant is not just a place to eat — it is a shared culinary journey, where many flavours come together just like the people around the table. Please note that our regular menus are not offered during this service.
