Indonesia's economy is heating up as consumers spend more, and the Apartment restaurant is looking to serve up some home cooking.
Located in south Jakarta, the Apartment has attracted diners with its unique areas, representing different rooms in a house.
Diners can chat on a king-size bed or have a quiet bite in the library.
The restaurant, 11 years in the making, drew 4,000 customers last month, and owner Budiman Gani said he was looking to expand.
[Budiman Gani, "Apartment" Restaurant Owner]:
"Yes, we are going to expand. We are thinking of other provinces that may be suitable for this kind of dining concept, probably Bali. And it doesn't stop there, because I just came back from Australia and I have seen the F and B (food and beverage) scenery there and there is big opportunity, so we are exploring to that direction as well."
Serving modern European cuisine, customers raved about the dining experience.
[Robert, Customer]:
"I like the menu, the atmosphere, it's comfortable and not too crowded."
[Dessy, Customer]:
"I want to try the living room and bedroom in my next visit."
Indonesia, heavily reliant on tourism, was hit badly by the 2002 Bali bombings and the global financial crisis.
But recovery signs are emerging, as the government said Wednesday the economy expanded 5.4 percent in the fourth quarter, with private consumption rising.
