An elegant new restaurant has opened in the dynamic Senopati area offering bold Pan-Asian flavors centered on a wood-fire grill.
Kama Cuisine & Libations by Raya has opened its doors in the vibrant neighborhood of Senopati, South Jakarta. This exciting addition to the city’s culinary scene promises to ignite every senses and satisfy deepest desires for exceptional food and beverages, and interior design.
This concept is a passion project brought to life by husband and wife Feisal Hamka and Noi Aswari and their partners under their holding company, Raya. The word kama is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “desire,” “love,” or “pleasure,” and encapsulates Kama’s essence of living, eating, and celebrating life.

Kama’s interior is a masterpiece by the renowned Jakarta-based design firm Gondo & Jules incorporating a warm and inviting atmosphere accentuated by the use of fire colors—blue and red. This fusion of design elements creates a sophisticated and inviting ambiance complementing the restaurant’s amber-colored décor in 2 floors, accommodating 57 seats on the first floor and 59 seats at the bar area.
