Kembali Ke Alam Citamiang — Restaurant in Cisarua

=== HONEST REVIEW ===

Ambience: Plenty of seating available, accommodating around 20 people. Free-flow snacks are provided. No drinking water available. The staff mentioned it was being refilled, but even after 20 minutes, it was still unavailable. Arriving in the afternoon after a long, traffic-filled drive, I was dehydrated and needed water. When I tried to order a refreshing drink like iced tea, I was told I couldn’t until I got a seat. The only option was bottled mineral water (IDR 15,000), but it wasn’t cold, so I had to order ice separately (IDR 6,000). The area near the toilet had a strong unpleasant odor, even with the toilet door closed. It was uncomfortable and left a bad first impression. On a Saturday at 2 PM, I was 17th in line, even though many tables and chairs inside were empty. When asked, they said to be patient as they call each guest one by one. If there’s no response in 5 minutes, they send a WhatsApp message. If there’s no reply within another 5 minutes, the booking is canceled. The intent to relax and enjoy nature was disrupted by ongoing construction work.

Service: The parking staff were quick and helpful, with no extra fees since they use a parking system. The waiters were friendly, helpful, responsive, and informative. However, they were a bit stingy. I asked for Wi-Fi and was told I couldn’t use the “Back to Nature 5G” network and had to stick to the 4G one. The 4G speed was only 1 Mbps, making it unusable. Out of curiosity, I tried the 5G network, and the speed was 80 Mbps. Cellular service (Telkomsel) was also poor in the area, with only 4 Mbps available.

Food & Beverages: The coffee was quite good ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The iced mint tea had a strong mint flavor but was overly sweet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The lamb fried rice had a noticeable smell despite the generous portion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The creamy spaghetti had a faint eggy smell and a little bit too salty, which was unpleasant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall: Not worth the hype or the...

We came on weekdays for lunch. It was cloudy and sometimes a bit raining on and off. The stairs are quite slippery and the restaurant is not accessible for wheel chair. The food is just fine and the price is average cafe price. The scenary actually really nice, especially since it was cloudy so it was quite cool. This restaurant is very smokers friendly! It allows people smokes all over the place! They also provide shisha. So if you want to enjoy scenery while smoking all the time then this is your place. Since I was looking for great scenary and FRESH AIR, then this restaurant would be my last choice. They have very limited "non smoking" area. I was disappointed to come all the way with so much traffic jam, narrow street and all the troubles just to have nice scenery with smoke all over. The toilet is dirty and smelly. But this place packed with people. Probably you will like it, I think the river and forest looks nice but the restaurant it's ...

Nice place for heal your mind, in the middle of forest and river side. We came in the afternoon weekday, little bit crowded, and there’re some best spot table that always occupied, so with the help of one waiter Aa Hasbi for taking that table soon after playin in the river we can seat there. The food mostly Indonesian and has good taste. The waiters were very polite, especially A Hasby who served us. Please note that it would be nice to separate smoking area here as a lot of customer smoke and not ideal for children and elderly visitor. Also its green area for some people who looking for fresh air. But overall we...
