Kebon Sirih is the northernmost administrative village of Menteng district of Jakarta.

Kebon Sirih is located to the south of Monas - a historic administrative center of Jakarta - and to the north of Menteng Residential Area - a heritage garden city.

Despite its close location to the center of Jakarta, which also the center of administrative government of the Dutch Indies, the layout of the area was not as organized as the rest of Menteng Subdistrict because of the existing kampung settlements.

Many colonial buildings, old houses, and landmarks are located in Kebon Sirih, some of which are Cut Meutia Mosque (a former real estate office), Gedung Joang '45, and Tugu Tani.

Being strategically located, many modern hotels and retails are built in Kebon Sirih, especially in Jalan KH Wahid Hasyim and Jalan Jaksa.
