Pondokan Bambu

Papua


Follow the reggae music into this funky warung bedecked in jungle wall murals on Sentani's main drag. You'll be wowed by the spicy, tender BBQ chicken and refreshing smoothies (yes to the jackfruit!), and an attached cafe also serves Vietnamese-style and syphon coffee using beans from all over Papua.
