Roemah Helena — Restaurant in Bandung City

we arrive here at 9.00 a.m on saturday. when we arrive the place seems to be quite packed full since all the seats on the front is filled. we were told there a waiting list of 7 people, and the staff told us to order first to secure our spot and they will help us for a place to sit. when we ordered the cashier told us estimated time for our food is around 30 minutes.

after we pay we were told we got a seat, it was pretty fast. here’s what we ordered: Nasi koening Helena 8/10 (regular nasi kuning the rice taste perfectly seasoned) Nasi Lemak Helena 9/10 (the chicken is very tasty they put a little of the chicken sauce on the rice and it a great addition, minus point because theres no ikan bilis 😅) Gohyong Helena 6/10 ( it was very far of our expectations, they come drench in a clear brown sauce which taste sweet and sour, i dont mind the sauce i think it goes well with the gohyong. the problem is the gohyong is mainly made with tofu 😅 which i think is very different that what most gohyong is, since it usually made with chicken and prawn) Roti kaya panggang 7/10 ( i thought its like the usal kaya toast, which was made with butter on the middle. turns out its not, soo im just a little bit disappointed 😅)

we order 2 of their drinks that was average. their price is on the cheaper side, but i think with the quality they gave it was worth it :D

i like the atmosphere and the vibe there, it felt like ‘Bandung’. especially with the old building style, the table and the seats which was short and small gave a sense of traditional and...

hari senin kemarin tepatnya sehari sebelum puasa dan akhir dari longweekend sempat mampir kesini. kesini grgr udh mentok gatau mau sarapan apa karna beberapa rekomendasi tutup. bersliweran di tiktok dan ig akhirnya memutuskan untuk bfast disini. pertama sampai bener2 bingung karna gada waitters/greeternya pokonya mah gada petugas restonya liat orang ngantri ikut ngantri LOL🤪. beberapa saat ngantri tbtb ada waiter nyamperin antrian, beliau announced hanya tersedia kalau tidak salah 4/5 menu saja yg ready. udh agak bete karna udh nunggu beberapa lama tapi ternyata banyak menu yg sold, akhirnya memutuskan untuk tetap antri. dari antrian sampai kasir sekitar 40menitan. setelah kami memesan beberapa menu kasir ngasih tau kalau estemasi makanan sekitar -+ 50menit. di hari itu memang tempat ini sangat amat ramai dan menurut saya kurang kondusif, hanya ada 1 pegawai yg standby di area dining padahal di area kitchen/gatau itu tempat apa pokonya orang ramai lah ada yg bikin minuman ada juga yg platting makanan dan itu tempat pickup makan dan minumannya juga ramai pegawai. setelah menunggu hampir sejam akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk datang ke tempat tadi. oiya disini self service jadi makanan dan minumannya ambil sendiri, kita di sediain alarm gt jika makanan sudah jadi alarm tsb akan bunyi. saya memesan 3 makanan dan 2 minum. setelah nunggu hampir sejam karna sudah lapar dan udh bete nunggu juga akhirnya saya memutuskan ke kitchen itu, ternyata beberapa pesanan saya sudah jadi hanya ada 1 dish yg belum ready untuk di serv. akhirnya saya bawa makanan tersebut ke meja. saya memesan nasi gr kari, mi goreng telur (kl gasalah lupa2 dikit), roti bakar srikaya, es coklat dan es teh manis. fyi makanan yg di sajikan semua dalam keadaan DINGIN wkwkwkwkwkwk super duper emosi. karna menurut saya dengan service yg selama itu sangat tidak worth it. nasi goreng karinya bener2 bumbu indomie kari di oseng sama nasi HAHAHAHA🤣. kerupuk alot dan hanya ada telur on the top. roti bakarnya alot bgt ya karna udh di suhu ruang terlalu lama, minimal anget lah ya shay. mie gorengnya gabisa masuk bgt di mulut saya rasanya manis asin, trs ada daun jeruk diiris tipis dan banyak bgt udh gt mie nya lodoh bgt🥲. sebenernya es coklatnya enak, coklatnya tipikal yg pait dan kentel cocok di saya cuma sayangnya pas sampai meja sudah watery jadi rasanya hambar. saran aja buat team helena, kalau memang belum sanggup untuk role yg serame ini lebih baik marketingnya jangan terlalu jor jor an. karna saya yakin sekian persen dari mereka yg dateng pasti korban dari marketing haha. semoga owner dan team helena bisa improve lebih baik lagi soalnya tempatnya menurut saya enak adem dan di tengah kota, tapi sayang untuk service dan product yg disajikan sangat amat...

Not so sure what with the hype. You need to wait for about 1hr for the food/beverages to ready no matter what you order. At least they're smart enough to sell fried food (gorengan) separately, so customers can munch gorengan while wait for whatever your order in 1hr. What I ordered : -nasi goreng kari 19,5k taste like nasi kebuli with our regular rice (not basmati rice) . The taste is good. Good for ppl who doesn't like basmati rice . -nasi kuning 19,5k. Taste above average but definitely not worth wait 1hr. It's your average nasi kuning with tempe orek, thin slices of egg, kentang mustafa. -kopi susu keju , an above average kopsus -es cendol, above average.. but pretty standard for bandung.

Atmosphere, cute retro style but if you not lucky, get drenched in rain or...
