Located in Cipete, this restaurant serve indonesian soul food. Yes, it is traditional and feels homey. The place it self is not too big. There are a lot of traditional furniture which emphasize its traditional concept. For the food it self, it taste pretty good. I love their rawon, taste pretty authentic. The portion is just right. Other food I try is Nasi Jamblang and bitterballen

Huge range of Indonesian food, including many that are difficult to find in Indonesia. Good taste and quick service, but the wait staff are rather uninterested and do not greet guests or come over to ask if you're ready to order.

Homey and cozy for an intimate meet up with friends. Food are great!!! A great place to taste local Indonesian food in one place. This place has sooo many local food options and all of what we ordered were amazing! The rooms were pretty and cute too, not sure if they have an air conned room though. It was quite hot even in the evening. I will definitely come back :)

Cute lil joint in cipete area serving various javanese food. I ordered setup kolang kaling (very sweet) but the portion was small for something charged at Rp30.000. Bukan untuk kaum mendang mending hahahah
