Srengenge Wetan — Restaurant in East Java

When one of the customers asked whether they use something in a dish they served, the waiter said "no", then being asked again by other customer and he said "yes", then he got complained because of it. It is unclear wether it is a yes or a no. Then he decided to ask other person about it and it ended up with a yes, they used the "thing" that was asked. This is really dangerous for certain customers, because they might not be able to eat it due to allergy, religion reason and other things. This can't be accepted by me because I do appreciate other people conditions. The other customers decided not to eat the dish, even though there were other dishes that being ordered, the customers decided not to eat them all due the cloudiness from that waiter. Those customers ended up not eating anything while other customers on the same table eating the dishes. It ended up with an awkwardness between them. For me myself, the food served really not special. Other resto offers much tastier I think. The good thing about this resto might be the way they show all the food directly before being ordered where people can pick which they want, but again this means the food are all open where people can even touch them. This is not a good time for it I think because it could easily help the covid-19 to easily fly between people because the food could easily be touched and I believe many people wouldn't want that. Probably better if they change the system for now because of the condition right now. Again for me, the food is not really special, but other people...

Visited Srengenge Wetan, located right in the center of Banyuwangi city. We chose this place for dinner after our full-day trip to Menjangan Island, as we wanted a proper sit-down meal—and it turned out to be a great choice.

Overall, the experience was very pleasant. The food was really good—not necessarily the most mind-blowing we had in Banyuwangi, but given the price point, prime location, and proper restaurant vibes, wonderful services by the waiter, it’s definitely worth a visit.

We ordered Ayam Geprek Koro Pedas, which was excellent—the chicken came out crispy and the sambal was spot on. We also tried Plecing Ayam Kampung, which was flavorful and paired nicely with the Plecing Kangkung. Another side we had was Tempe with Sambal, which was okay-ish, nothing too special. But then came dessert—Cucur! It was absolutely amazing. A little oily, but that’s probably what made it even more indulgent and tasty.

All in all, I’d say Srengenge Wetan is definitely recommended if you want to enjoy local Banyuwangi cuisine in a more proper...
