Jay's BBQ

Jay's BBQ is an Indonesian grill restaurant on Stationstraat in Amstelveen. Smoke, spice & soul is the promise: hand-marinated meat, fresh off the grill.

From Lemongrass to grill
Many guests still know Jay's BBQ as Restaurant Lemongrass, which served refined, traditional Indonesian dinners at the same address for years. The team decided it was time for a new, bolder chapter: no more crisp tablecloths, but comfort food, flames and a relaxed atmosphere. The strongest family recipes were given a bold twist along the way.

Grandma's recipes and plenty of patience
The dishes at Jay's BBQ are rooted in grandma's old recipe books, from the soto ayam to the dark ketjap marinade for the satay. The chicken thighs marinate for at least 24 hours. The oxtail is first slow-cooked in the oven for hours before it hits the grill, where the meat gets a smoky, crispy crust.

Mix grill, loaded fries and halal meat
The Jay's BBQ menu includes the Mix Grill, satay with peanut sauce and loaded fries with chicken thigh, shrimp, oxtail or lamb chops. Grill plates and specials are served only at the table in the restaurant. All meat at Jay's BBQ is 100% halal certified, and if you skip meat, you can go for the gado gado or a soto ayam without chicken.

Jay's BBQ is open in the evenings from Tuesday to Sunday and also caters parties and corporate events on request. For dessert there is a homemade cake of lapis Surabaya, brownie and spikoe, and to drink, a glass of cendol.
