Finding halal Indonesian food in Singapore is easy. Finding authentic Indonesian flavours that taste like they came straight from Indonesia is much harder.
At Warung Leko, our food is inspired by the bold and comforting flavours of Surabaya, East Java, home of our famous Iga Penyet, Indonesia's iconic smashed beef ribs.
Founded in Surabaya in 2006, Warung Leko is widely recognised in Indonesia for specialising in slow-cooked beef ribs served with fiery house-made sambal. Today, with more than 40 outlets across Indonesia, Warung Leko brings the same authentic Indonesian comfort food experience to Singapore.
Where to Find Warung Leko
Warung Leko Singapore is located at 162 Rochor Road inside Bugis Village, just a short 2-minute walk from Bugis MRT Exit A. If you are visiting Bugis Street, you can easily spot our restaurant near the popular Art Lane area.
Situated in one of Singapore's busiest dining districts, the restaurant is popular with office crowds, families, tourists, and diners looking for authentic halal Indonesian food in Bugis.
Lunch and dinner periods can get busy, especially on weekends, so reservations are recommended for larger groups.
What to Order
Iga Penyet – Indonesia's Famous Smashed Beef Ribs

Our beef ribs are slow-cooked for hours until fall-off-the-bone tender, lightly deep-fried for a crisp outer texture, then served with spicy Indonesian sambal.
Rich, tender, spicy, and deeply comforting, it is the dish that made Warung Leko famous across Indonesia and continues to be one of the top choices for diners in Singapore today.
Beyond the signature ribs, popular dishes include:
Tahu Telur – authentic Surabaya-style tofu omelette with savoury peanut sauce
BBQ Chicken – smoky grilled chicken with Indonesian spices
Ayam Penyet – smashed fried chicken served with sambal
Sup Buntut – comforting Indonesian oxtail soup
Spicy Stir-Fried Dancing Fish – crispy whole tilapia served with bold spicy sauce
Iga Hotplate – grilled beef ribs marinated in a savoury-sweet Indonesian spice blend, grilled until smoky and tender
Sayur Asam – traditional Indonesian sweet-and-sour vegetable soup made with tamarind broth, filled with assorted vegetables

The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Indonesian comfort food, making every visit a chance to discover something different.
