Came here only for their famous DENDENG BATOKOK! Must have! So yum! Happiness on a plate!
Other food I can recommend is their Ayam Pop. The crunchy fried chicken with soy sauce. Used to eat their Ayam Pop back then circa 2000. It’s good tho. But now I’m more into their Dendeng 😋
Always crowded in lunch time. Yet the service is fast and staff were very friendly!
Tables are close to each other, you may sit with other customers. Not only do you get to try a spice sensory carnaval of flavors, you meet knew people you may not have with out this Sumatrian Nasi Padang experience. If this is your first experience with Nasi Padang, the staff will help you with a smile!
Kinda hard to find a parking lot. Limited parking area.
