Lesehan
About
Lesehan serves Java from Jl. Bangka, Handil Jaya, Kec. Jelutung, Kota Jambi, Jambi 36125, Indonesia. The venue sits in Jambi, a city on the island's eastern side, well away from the main tourist centres of Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta.
With 402 reviews and a 4.3 out of 5 average, Lesehan has built a following in Jambi. Reaching it from the larger cities on Java means a long journey across the island, while Surabaya and Semarang lie closer than Jakarta or Bogor. The Jambi location places the venue within its own regional setting rather than the resort towns of the west.
Jambi lies on Java's eastern side, and the surrounding area is known for its inland landscapes. Travellers heading there from the main cities should plan the journey as a separate trip rather than a short detour.
Indonesian meals are commonly served with sambal chilli paste, and street stalls sell noodles, satay and tempeh. Most of the country has a tropical monsoon climate, with rain heaviest between November and March, so the drier months suit travel better.
