“ One of the best traditional Betawi cuisine. Even simple dish like gabus goreng (fried snakehead) and genjer oncom are very delicious. Free refill for rice and sayur asem. The sayur asem is superb. And yes you can refill fo your heart contents. The sambal is very hot and top notch! Love it! The fried chicken dipped in sambal is extremely delicious and very very hot it burns your tongue! You really need to eat them with rice. Or else your tongue will feel a bit numb because they were mostly salty. If you are on carbohydrate diet, skip this restaurant. Downfall: the price is expensive for traditional Indonesian restaurant in Indonesia. But overall, 5 stars is the best description for the quality and quantity (free refills) of the food. ”

“ my go to betawi food in east jakarta ”
“ Their food is so good! The fried shallots, the fried small squids and their stinky beans are all awesome. They have good sambal as well, but eat it just a bit if you can't really eat spicy food. Most of their dishes are salty so eat it with rice and kerupuk if you fancy one. ”
“ Betawi's village cuisine. Taste allrigt. A bit pricry for such food but there is not much restaurant in Jakarta that sell such food, so you should give it a try at least once. Parking is easy and spacious. ”
