Albany Highway’s go-to for unapologetic Indonesian street food serves up serious chili heat alongside deeply comforting warung classics. Crisp, smashed ayam penyet arrives buried under a mound of crunchy kremesan, matched with a fiery house sambal that doesn't compromise on spice. Regulars balance the burn with slow-simmered Soto Betawi or sticky, charcoal-grilled iga bakar ribs. Running straight through from lunch to dinner without an afternoon break, the dining room hums with Indonesian pop, full tables, and glasses of icy cendol.

Frequently Asked Questions
How spicy is the sambal?
The sambal served with the signature ayam penyet and grilled meats is authentically spicy with an Indonesian level of heat. If you have a sensitive stomach or low spice tolerance, approach it with caution.
Does rice come included with the main dishes?
Yes. Dishes like ayam penyet, iga bakar, and fried meats are priced individually and do not automatically come with rice. Steamed rice must be ordered separately as an add-on.
What are the opening hours, and do they close between lunch and dinner?
Ria operates daily without an afternoon break, remaining open continuously from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day of the week, making it convenient for late lunches or early dinners.
How busy does it get, and how do queues work?
Peak lunch and dinner periods can get very crowded with queues. When arriving during busy times, put your name down with staff at the counter, or aim for off-peak hours to avoid waits that can reach 15 to 30 minutes.
Where can I park when visiting?
You can find parking spaces along the street side or use the adjacent Woolworths parking area, though finding a spot directly outside can sometimes be challenging during peak times.
Is there a discount for paying in cash?
Yes. Ria provides a 5% discount when paying for your meal with cash.
