Nasi bogana or nasi begana, pronounced as nah-see boh-gâna, is an Indonesian-style rice dish, originally from Tegal, Central Java. It is usually wrapped in banana leaves and served with side dishes.[1]

This rice dish is a type of nasi rames or nasi campur — terms used for dishes that have rice and a variety of side dishes.[2]

Nasi bogana is very popular in Indonesia and is sold all over the streets of Jakarta, the capital city, for 12,000 to 20,000 rupiah each. It is sold in almost all Sundanese or Javanese restaurants and sometimes in warungs or wartegs (Warung Tegal), a traditional outdoor restaurant or café.[3] It is considered a convenient dish as it is wrapped in banana leaves and is usually ready to bring and eat at any time. It is a type of fast food that is brought to workplaces to eat.[4]
