Serba Nikmat Grilled Fish Restaurant — Restaurant in Ciputat Timur

There are two main dishes of Gurame here. Grilled with spicy soybean-sauce. And, grilled with yellowy Padang-style sauce. Both have their plus and minus.

If you like sour and savory taste, choose the yellow sauce. But, you'll lose the taste of the fish as the sauce dominate the taste.

If you prefer a traditional and sweet taste, choose the soybean-sauce. This one taste like ordinary grilled gurame almost anywhere. But Serba Nikmat grilled it perfectly, and you can sip the sweet taste of gurame fish even without the soybean sauce on it.

There is also Padang-style fried-egg. Best served while fresh from the pan.

Visiting here is a little bit tricky, positioned behind a minimart on a small road. Better to park in the minimart and walk about 10m to reach...

BEST. IKAN. BAKAR. EVER!!!!! Buset ingin berkata kasar saking enaknya. Awalnya makan-makan sini hanya untuk makan2 ultah berempat atas rekomendasi bapak yang sudah pernah kesini sekian tahun lampau. Parkirnya gak sulit, bisa numpang di area alfamart sebelah jalan masuk ke resto. Masuk ke tempat makan di sebelah kanan dengan beberapa meja, ada ruang dapur yang dipakai untuk persiapan dan memasak. No worries, letaknya terpisah dari ruang untuk makan, kok.. Jadi jangan khawatir badan 'bau asep' selepas makan.

Yang bikin spesial, di sebelah kanan-kiri diantara area dapur ada kolam ikan gurame. Jadi no doubt/no debat tempat ini fresh banget!

Buat menu, mereka ga neko2. Ikan bakar plus nasi bakulan, lalap, sambel kecap dan sambel ulek. Side menu ada gado-gado sama telur dadar. Ideal banget buat yang selalu dapet jawaban terserah tiap nanya mau makan apa. Ajak kesini, beres. Gausah bingung.

Anyhoo.. what I love about this place is how they seasoned the fish. Gada gosong-gosong paitnya, bumbunya gurih kelapa, rempah-bumbu khas Minang/Sumbar tapi sejauh kumakan di pulau jawa, dia harmonis banget. Beneran definisi bumbu ga pelit. Dagingnya lembut banget pas diambil, tebel dan juicy. Gada rasa amis2nya, yang ada rasa manis ikan seger, ketemu kelapa dan rempah. Kalau dibanding resto mahal fancy lain, ini definisi humble authentic food.

Hidden gem? Bisa. Karena dia sebenernya udah lama berjualan, menunya selektif, rasa otentik, limited seats, agak sedikit efforts nyarinya.

Plusnya? Walau akses masuknya sempit, tapi kursi roda-friendly. Hehehe.. anggota keluarga ada yang pakai kursi roda,...

The exact location is before UIN, right beside Bakso Boejangan and Alfamart shophouse (huge parking space, so if you drive you can park there easily).

You have to entry through tight alley, but it's literally only 4 step to reach the place from the entry way. It's actually spacious inside, there is natural pond and several table which you can dine in comfortably here.

They main dish is grilled fish - Gurameh Bakar (the sauce is similar with padang sauce), enjoy it with Telor Dadar + Lalapan....
