Located in the elite Setiabudi district, Akira Back Indonesia features exquisite culinary creations courtesy of founder and celebrity chef Akira Back. Akira Back Indonesia is Akira Back’s first foray into the Indonesia market, having opened a successful group of restaurants in the United States. Chef Akira Back’s path into the kitchen was an unorthodox one, having started as a professional snowboarder before following his passion in the culinary business.
Chef Akira Back began his culinary journey in the Kenichi restaurant group before moving on to open the wildly successful Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge in Las Vegas. Having worked alongside famed Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, Chef Akira Back has earned a string of prestigious accolades throughout his glittering career, including a Michelin star for Back’s Dosa.
Visitors to Akira Back Indonesia will appreciate the immaculately appointed interiors. Featuring expanses of polished hardwood floors, elegant dim lighting and state-of-the-art open kitchen, the space is elegant and understated. The restaurant is divided into three sections – the bar in which visitors can enjoy lovely potations by the restaurant’s mixologists, the open dining space, which overlooks the stunning Setiabudi cityscape and the private dining area perfect for hosting an intimate gathering.
Akira Back Indonesia’s famous entrée is a must try – the tuna pizza. The thin homemade pizza dough is baked to crisp perfection and topped with paper-thin slices of premium-quality tuna before being garnished with aromatic truffle oil and freshly-cracked black pepper. For the mains, the wagyu short ribs come highly recommended. Slow cooked for 48 hours, the meat is seared beautifully and served with a reduced umami sauce.
