Decent taste, quite disappointed with the dine in bcos I had ordered from them a few times for takea
Decent taste, but quite disappointed with the dine-in experience as I had ordered takeaway from them a few times before. My friend's meal had a bug(?) in it, and they only offered to refund her meal. The supervisor seemed unapologetic about it, and we didn't even make a big fuss. Luckily, we didn't suffer any food poisoning from it. The cleanliness of the outlet definitely needs to be looked into, especially the tables etc.

The location is easily accessible. The food is okay, average, but the main issue is that the rice is too dry, and the food served was not warm, it was a little cold. Service is alright; the food took some time to arrive after ordering. They should provide more sambal, as it's spicy and nice. The price is acceptable. Overall, it's still a decent place to dine in, but they need to make a lot of improvements to stay competitive and retain regular customers.

I ordered GrabFood. I ordered one ayam bakar, one ayam penyet, and sup sayur asam, but when the order came, I only received the food and not the soup. Very disappointed, as I was looking forward to the soup.

Looks rundown. The tables weren't very clean, but okay. We gave it a try and ordered ayam bakar and ayam penyet. We requested thigh meat instead of breast meat, and the staff nodded. Then, to our surprise, breast meat was served, and it was so dry... drier than the Sahara Desert. I don't usually waste food, but I had to waste this whole thing because it was just so horrendous. :'( NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!

The space looks hilariously run down, but it turns out to be a positive because they funnel most of their budget into the food, serving some of the best duck and chicken I've had in my life, at a pretty decent price. Highlighted dishes: bebek bakar and ayam bakar. Haven't tried all the fish yet, but ikan lele bakar was pretty great for me.
