Pantja means five in Sanskrit, and in the case of Pantja, located near Jakarta's central business district, the name is an indication of the establishment's dedication to food, drink, music, hospitality and design. The restaurant's farm-to-table mentality cultivates relationships with local farms and extends into the cocktail list, where Kabir Suharan homes in on classic cocktails made with local ingredient twists, such as a margarita made with curry leaf, a Kingston Negroni made with Pandan, or the low-abv Bamboo Cooler, made with an oolong tea cordial and lime juice to lengthen the traditionally stirred drink. The design of the space is no less commanding – from its eye-catching exteriors to the imposing brick archway that defines the main room, and the long main bar that mixes materials with dynamic materials and movement. Overall, the experience of sitting inside the place is as powerful as the drinks.
