damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Warung Selasa yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Dining space is limited to just one or two tables, so per Atlas Obscura, 'if there's a wait for a table at Warung Selasa, customers can kill time' by browsing the surrounding Indonesian grocery aisles rather than standing in a traditional line. Coverage of Dewi Tjahjadi's operation notes she originally served two customers at a time on a single folding table when she started cooking in 2016.
Because seating is so scarce, demand is largely managed through preordering: Dewi posts the week's dish on the @warungselasa Instagram and customers message or WhatsApp her ahead of time to reserve food, per Eat The World NYC.
