Pecel ini enak banget.

In Indonesian, demonstratives like ini (this) and itu (that) usually come after the noun.

• pecel ini = this pecel
• rumah itu = that house

So Pecel ini is the normal way to say this pecel.

If you put ini first, it usually changes the structure:

• Ini pecel. = This is pecel.

Indonesian often leaves out the verb to be in simple descriptive sentences.

So:

• Pecel ini enak banget. literally looks like This pecel very tasty
• but it naturally means This pecel is really delicious.

This is completely normal in Indonesian. You do not need a word like is here.

Enak is a very common Indonesian word. In food contexts, it usually means:

• delicious
• tasty
• good

It can also mean something like pleasant, nice, or comfortable in other contexts.

Examples:

• Makanannya enak. = The food is delicious.
• Tidurnya enak. = The sleep felt good / It was comfortable to sleep.

In Pecel ini enak banget, enak means tasty/delicious.

Banget is an intensifier. It means:

• very
• really
• so

So:

• enak = delicious
• enak banget = really delicious / very tasty

It is extremely common in everyday spoken Indonesian.

Banget is mostly casual or informal. It is very natural in conversation.

If you want a more neutral or formal style, you could say:

• Pecel ini sangat enak.
• Pecel ini enak sekali.

All three mean roughly the same thing, but the tone is different:

• enak banget = casual, conversational
• sangat enak = more neutral/formal
• enak sekali = natural and common, sometimes slightly more polished

Yes. All of these are correct:

• Pecel ini enak banget.
• Pecel ini sangat enak.
• Pecel ini enak sekali.

The differences are mostly about style:

• banget: very casual, everyday speech
• sangat: more formal or standard
• sekali: common and natural, often a bit less slangy than banget

The sentence can be broken down like this:

• Pecel ini = this pecel → the subject/topic
• enak banget = really delicious → the predicate

So the pattern is:

noun + demonstrative + adjective + intensifier

More simply:

• Pecel ini = what you are talking about
• enak banget = what you are saying about it

Indonesian does not use articles the way English does. There is no direct equivalent of a or the in most sentences.

So:

• pecel can mean pecel, a pecel dish, or the pecel, depending on context
• pecel ini specifically means this pecel

Context usually makes the meaning clear.

No. Banget is often used with adjectives, but in casual Indonesian it can also intensify other words and expressions.

Examples:

• capek banget = really tired
• bagus banget = really good / beautiful
• suka banget = really like
• dingin banget = really cold

So in your sentence, banget is just strongly boosting enak.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

• Pecel ≈ peh-chəl or peh-chel
• ini ≈ ee-nee
• enak ≈ uh-nahk or eh-nak
• banget ≈ bah-ngət or bang-et

Put together:

• Pecel ini enak banget ≈ peh-chəl ee-nee uh-nahk bah-ngət

The exact vowel quality can vary a little by speaker and region, but that pronunciation will be understood.

Yes, very natural. Pecel ini enak banget sounds like normal spoken Indonesian.

A native speaker could easily say this when reacting to food:

• at a food stall
• at home
• in conversation with friends

It has a friendly, natural, everyday tone.
