Discover Naughty Olive, a visually stunning restaurant inside a North Jakarta trampoline park that seems like a family paradise. Its gorgeous, photo-worthy ambiance and fun DIY pizza-making for kids are major draws. However, this article reveals a big catch: the experience is often marred by inconsistent food quality and frustratingly slow service. Find out if the incredible atmosphere is worth the gamble and get essential tips on what to order and when to visit before you go.
Girls, this time I'm really at a loss for words…🤦♀️
I came across this viral restaurant inside a trampoline park in North Jakarta, and just looking at the pictures, it was so beautiful it left me speechless. High ceilings, filled with greenery, and at night you can even see the colorful lights of the trampoline park below—the atmosphere was totally on point. I thought it would be a great place to Nongkrong with the kids or for a date, and the photos would definitely be Mantap!
😇Heaven and Hell Are Separated by a Thin Line
The moment I sat down, it still felt great. The ambiance is undeniably amazing, the design is very strong, and any casual snapshot turns out looking great[1]. It's especially perfect for a romantic dinner for couples or a family gathering with kids.
Their signature set menus also sound very tempting, especially the Mom & Kids Package[2], which lets kids make their own pizza and DIY ice cream—it sounds so fun. For that alone, I almost impulsively went for it.
When it comes to the food, the reviews are extremely polarized. For example, the Chicken Quesadilla[3]—many people say it's the best dish there, and the combination of cheese and chicken is indeed pretty good. But! The other main course I ordered was a bit Anjay… A fried rice that cost almost 100k was so salty it was overwhelming, and it had a burnt taste; the chicken chop was also incredibly dry and tough, felt like it had been sitting out for a long time[4]. The portion size is also a gamble, like opening a blind box. Some say it's like a kid's meal, while others say they were stuffed[5]. Mine was… emmm… barely enough for a bite.
🫠Seriously, I Don't Want to Wait Anymore
Alright, now it's time to rant. The biggest problem with this place is the service! It's infuriatingly slow! I'm not kidding, waiting over an hour for a dish during peak times is a common occurrence[6]. Going there on an empty stomach will make you wait so long you'll start questioning your life choices. Moreover, the professionalism of the staff is inconsistent; people have experienced them bringing the wrong dish, having a sour face, or even being pushy with sales[7], which really ruins the experience.

Finally, for the girls who are going or thinking of going, here's the real talk in a nutshell:
Overall, it's a restaurant where the great ambiance and creative concept are let down by the food and service. Their brand slogan is “Taste Matters,” but from the looks of it, it’s more like “Ambiance Matters.” 🤷♀️
- To go or not to go? If you're going purely to take pictures, or for the fun of letting your kids make pizza, then it's okay to go. But if you're going for the food and service, I'd advise you to think twice.
- When to go? Definitely don't go on weekends! It's often booked out for birthday parties, and you won't get a table without a reservation[8]. Going on a weekday afternoon would be more Chill.
- What to order? Ordering randomly is risky. You could try the chicken quesadillas, which have consistently good reviews, or just stick to drinks and desserts.
- Check the bill! Some packages have a hefty service charge and tax added on, so remember to check carefully when you pay[9].
- Don't even think about working here! The WiFi signal is so bad it's practically non-existent. For all the girls who want to WFC (Work From Cafe), just give up on the idea[10].
