But it does have a decent selection of computer shops.

Aside from electronic shops, Ratu Plaza Mall in Jakarta also has a few restaurants and a Lotte Mart Department Store that is located on the basement level.

There are a few benefits of shopping at Ratu Plaza for electronics in comparison to large branded department stores within the city. First of all, you might be able to find cheaper prices because most of the shops are small, private retailers which have more freedom to set prices where they want them to be. Secondly, it is often quiet which enables shoppers to take their time while negotiating discounts on products such as computers.

Unlike many of the larger malls in central Jakarta, Ratu Plaza doesn’t have a cinema. If you want to watch a movie try to check out Senayan City which is only a few minutes away.
