Welcome to Cribs, the only Indonesian restaurant nestled in Cebu's vibrant Escario Building on N Escario St. As you step inside this inviting eatery, you're ensconced in a warm and friendly atmosphere that perfectly complements the rich, aromatic flavors of Indonesian cuisine. With wooden tables and an al fresco area, Cribs offers a delightful setting to indulge in an array of traditional dishes.

This culinary gem is renowned for its authentic Indonesian flavors, with dishes crafted using time-honored techniques and the freshest ingredients. The menu boasts a splendid variety of options, catering to both spice aficionados and those with milder palates. Popular choices include the sumptuous Beef Rendang, a dry beef curry that melts in your mouth, and the flavorful Soto Ayam, a comforting chicken noodle soup that will warm your soul. For something heartier, the Nasi Goreng (fried rice) is another must-try, though it’s worth noting that many guests have commented on its delightful spiciness!

If you're in the mood for noodles, the stir-fried options are equally enticing. From the Deluxe Indonesian Stir Fried Noodles topped with a sunny side up egg to the tantalizing Sambal Shrimp & Tofu, there is something for every palate. Each dish is crafted with great attention to detail, ensuring a burst of flavor that transports you straight to the streets of Indonesia.

For those with a sweet tooth, Cribs does not disappoint. The Es Mango Sagu Mutiara and Dadar Gulung (coconut pandan crepes filled with caramelized coconut) are delightful choices that round off your meal splendidly—a perfect blend of sweetness and comfort.

Don't just take our word for it; customers rave about Cribs' offerings. Daniel Dominguez describes it as a haven for Indonesian food lovers, emphasizing their mouthwatering rendang and nasi goreng. Eizen Barleta, a fan of spice, recommends checking out their extra spicy dishes while enjoying the cozy wooden ambiance.

The only Indonesian restaurant in entire Cebu. Offers mouth-watering and tasty beef rendang, as well as nasi goreng and satay. I've been an avid customer since 2022.

If you’re into extra spicy Indonesian food, then Cribs could be your best bet in Cebu. Their dishes tasted authentic, and you can see the work they put into preparing them. They have wooden tables and chairs, and even an al fresco setup. Aside from the Indonesian meals, they have Dutch-inspired snacks. If you’re ordering a spicy main dish, I don’t advise having lemonade as your drink. The spicy and sour flavor don’t match. Cribs is one the few restaurants that are still open as late as 11 PM in the area.

This place has, no doubt, really good food. We loved everything that we tried (still do) and we tried most of the dishes on their menu. We visited many times as we were staying in a nearby hotel. It's easily one of our go-to restos when we are in the area. The only thing we dislike the MOST about this place is how loud the staff can get. There are usually an older woman and two younger women working in there. This has happened to us more than once -- when the older woman was taking our orders, we were having a hard time communicating with her because the other two girls by the till were too obnoxiously loud. The place is not so big so when the two girls were talking so loud (almost yelling at each other and talking about nothing related to work by the way), we could barely hear the woman taking our order and ourselves as well. We had to stop and wait till they were done with their chit-chat. The device that they use to receive online orders is also so loud, it seems as if it is on maximum volume, which is so unnecessary considering the area of the place is quite small. It goes off everytime they get an order and it goes off all the time so it can get really loud and bothersome by the minute. The atmosphere could greatly improve in this place if they take note of these things and do something about it. On the aspect of food, these are all a must-try: nasi goreng, mee goreng, chicken satay, beef and chicken rendang, and their watermelon basil lemonade.

I was in Cebu Business Park area for an errand, it was lunch time and I was too hungry. I found this place after crossing a wide street from a nearby hotel. It's my first time to try a cooked Indonesian meal and I liked the delish, savory beef rendang. I also ordered curry puff as I just can't forget the first time I had this flavorful pastry 5 years ago. I also opted to try the hot Indonesian milk tea, though it's blazing outside. Overall, the experience was great and I would like to try satay, nasi goreng, mee goreng and sambal dishes on my next visit.

This is the only place around this area where you will get Indonesian food. The beef satay we had was super fresh. And the peanut sauce that came with it nicely complements it so well. As a dessert, we had white chocolate Macha tiramisu. Surprisingly, the matcha was super good quality.

As an Indo-Malay food enthusiast, this place is perfect for me! It might not be super authentic, but the food quality is excellent so I highly recommend Cribs. They started in Sugbo Mercado long before they opened this resto. Mee goreng, Beef rendang and satay have always been my fave. I'll definitely come back to try the other dishes on their menu.
