Pantja means five in Sanskrit, reflecting the establishment’s focus on five key elements: food, drink, music, hospitality and design. Located near Jakarta’s central business district, the restaurant embraces a farm-to-table philosophy, building strong relationships with local farms. This approach extends to its cocktail menu, like Margarita-infused with curry leaf, a Kingston Negroni featuring pandan or the low-alcohol bamboo cooler, crafted with oolong tea cordial and lime juice to add a refreshing twist to the traditionally stirred cocktail.

The design of Pantja is equally striking. The room is striking from the outside to the striking brick archway that separates the main dining area. The long, central bar blends a mix of materials, creating a sense of movement and energy.
