Definitely reserve ahead - it was packed even on a weeknight! That said, once seated everything was very smooth.
We ordered the large rice table and it was more than enough for 2 people. Lots of bold flavors.

I recently dined at this Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food, in particular, left a lasting impression.
We opted for the satay sampler set for one person, and to our pleasant surprise, the portion size was generous enough for sharing. We left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied.
The taste of the dishes was outstanding, with each bite bursting with authentic and flavorful Indonesian spices. It truly felt like a taste of Jakarta right here in Amsterdam.
What made this dining experience even more enjoyable was the exceptional service provided by the restaurant staff. They were all incredibly friendly and kind, making us feel genuinely welcome.
In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of delicious Indonesian cuisine. From the ample portions to the true-to-original flavors and the warm hospitality, it's an experience that's not to be missed.

First time trying Indonesian food. On all the guides for Amsterdam it said to try it, so we booked at Sampurna. It was absolutely delicious, we loved every dish. Especially the chicken and goat skewers, Ayam paniki, cucumber salad. The service was really warm and friendly too.
Absolutely amazing all-around experience. The food was phenomenal - traditional, authentic, aromatic flavors that complimented each other nicely. It took us 2 days to get a dinner reservation because of how popular the restaurant is. It is located on Singel alongside the flower markets, a lovely and quaint location.
We ordered BATARA RICE TABLE for € 30,50 p.p., which consisted of 14 different dishes that we shared among 5 people (and still had some left over!) This was an incredible way of experiencing lots of different Indonesian dishes and provided a lot of variety.
I would absolutely recommend visiting this restaurant for an authentic Indonesian food experience!

Great food! We had the rice table. Our server explained how it worked and all the dishes. It was all delicious and more than enough. Nice cocktails. Small space with tight seating, but great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Prior to arriving in Amsterdam we were told that we need to try Indonesian/Surinamese cuisine. Sampurna came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Dishes were packed with flavor (predominantly coconut, peanut, mango, and spicy). We were lucky to be seated as a walk-in but would recommend making a reservation as the restaurant was packed, even on a week night. Food was delicious and so fortunate for the experience. (We had the vegetarian meal for two, plenty of food)
Ordered sate solo, the 1-person version of rice table (rijsttafel).
1. too sweet. Waiter said black sauce was intended to be sweet. But he did not offer me the option to switch to peanut butter sauce.
2. Half of the skewer meat was burned, making them inedible.
3. Beef stew was too salty.
Of all the small dishes, only the chick dish was normal salty, not overly sweet.
Overall very bad experience.

Very good Indonesian Rice Table. The server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We got the “Sampurna Rice Table” which was explained was their specialty and the best way to experience an Indonesian Rice Table. It was good. It’s a small restaurant and reservations can be difficult to get, so plan accordingly and book well in advance.
