Nasi Bancakan Wassalam Abah Barna

If you're looking for an authentic Sundanese dining experience in Bandung, this place is highly recommended. They serve a broad variety of dishes with semi self-service style: no menu list provided, just pick your selected food from the buffet and put it on your vintage tin plates. Some waiters behind the trays will help you explain the dishes names if you're unfamiliar with Sundanese food, and warm your food upon request. After you finish selecting, show your food to the cashier and pay.

They do not only serve typical 'warung nasi Sunda' food such as nasi liwet, pepes, ayam kampung goreng, empal, perkedel, tahu tempe, sayur asem, tumis daun singkong, tumis jengkol, pete bakar, various kinds of sambel etc, but also some refreshing beverage and dessert choices: es goyobod, es cincau, es cendol, kue balok, etc.

Expect a rather long queue especially in busy lunch hours; it's seriously hard to decide which food you're going to pick because they all look tempting and taste as good as their appearance. You can sit at regular tables or enjoy your meal in lesehan area (limited space).

Price is slightly above average compared to another warung nasi (we spent about Rp 250k for 5 people), but definitely worth the experience.
