Food here was actually insane. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The Soto betawi stood out the most it was so good and you can tell they put effort into it. Portions were solid and the service was fast and friendly. Easily one of the best spots I’ve been to, I’ll definitely be back.

A cozy little spot and was blown away by how good the food was. I had their special nasi bungkus nangka with rendang. it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Also tried a mixed seafood noodle dish (can't remember the name), but it was absolutely delicious. Portions were generous. Definitely coming back to explore more of their Indonesian menu. Highly recommended!
