Have you ever worked in an office? Have you ever felt hungry while working in an office? Have you ever felt the urge to not eat in front of your damn computer or in the cramped office kitchen while feeling hungry in an office? It happens to all of us. That's when we throw down our keyboards at 12:30 PM and run for our lives, or at least to the nearest feeding station.

We have already praised the home delivery service of Sumatra, one of only two Indonesian restaurants in Budapest. The other one is upscale Nusantara in Buda, so the only option for those craving some archipelago fare while working in downtown Budapest is this little basement joint in Ipoly utca, about five minutes from Nyugati tér. We got really scared when it refused to open for weeks after the Christmas holidays, but apparently the Hungarian owner and his Indonesian wife/girlfriend were just holidaying in the latter's home country. Luckily Sumatra reopened this past Monday, so let's celebrate this by pointing out that they don't just do terrific home delivery - they also have a mean business lunch.

Except for the location, which is a tiny bit outside the range of those who work inside Nagykörút and can't manage to stretch their lunch break to more than 45 minutes, there is hardly anything to complain about at Sumatra. It's fast, tasty and cheap, and what else could a hungry office rat ask for? Maybe a one way ticket to Borneo.

Lunchtime at Sumatra is from 12 to 2 PM, and consists of a limited choice of dishes displayed behind the counter. Regulars however would never order a single dish, they go for one of the great combos. Our favourite is Indonéz Demokrata (pictured above, and you can guess the English translation), which features a big pile of rice, a couple of prawn crackers and three small portions of the mains of your choice. We usually settle for the ayam cincang sambal (chicken in a not very hot chili sauce), the rendang (spicy beef) and the kalio ayam (chicken curry), but there are always at least four other choices, including some vegetarian options. And the whole thing costs just Ft 890, probably the cheapest authentic asian meal you can have in Budapest. Throw in a portion of satay (skewered chicken with peanut sauce), and you will not just have a pleasant afternoon back at the office, but can be pretty sure that hunger won't set in again until you are safely back at home.
