What regulars say

  • The rawon is properly black and the beef is tender. Come at 11 so it hasn't sold out.

  • We ordered 40 boxes for our neighbourhood arisan. On time, and the sambal came separately.

    Ratih Wulandari, homemaker in Gubeng

  • I eat here every Friday after prayers. It's busy, but the queue moves fast.
