Bakmie Nirwana — Restaurant in Jakarta

The first impression was it feels like home 😁 Yes, because it is located at residential complex Permata Buana. I found out that you can also park outside the gated residential complex and access through a small door on the closed gate.

Once you're sitted down, they will provide you with a glass of hot water for you to dip the cutleries (this is very thoughtful, kudos to Bakmi Nirwana)

I visited Bakmi Nirwana because of a few good reviews from friends, I tried ordering it via GrabFood but never got a chance because they are usually sold out quite quickly.

So this time around, I happened to be within the area and decided to make a quick de tour to Bakmi Nirwana.

And I did not regret it at all !!!

The noodles were al dente, the texture reminds me of Bakmi Naga noodles. They were seasoned nicely so it is not necessary to add any condiments to the noodles.

I ordered the Standard portion of Bakmi Campur which means I get two different toppings which are diced chicken and minced pork meat, they were quite nice complimenting the noodles.

One thing that surprise my tastebuds were the Fried Meatballs (Bakso Goreng), at first I was quite disappointed considering how small they were at Rp 9K per piece. But once I took the first bite, I would paid even more to get this kind of Bakso Goreng (please don't jack up the price 😁)

The meatballs are dominated with shrimp instead of minced pork, you can easily tell. And every bites you took, you can tell that it is high quality ingredients and deep fried perfectly, making you wanting for more.

I ordered two myself and I can easily eat another 3, but considering I am having breakfast so I tend to keep it light 😁

Overall, it is highly recommended. The place is well kept clean, the wait staffs are attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back!

Almost forgot, they also provided you with two different sambal, red and...

Popular Bakmi spot for breakfast at Permata If you’re in Permata Buana in the morning, there’s a popular Kota-style Bakmi spot that has become a breakfast favorite. The place is well-known not only among locals but also among cyclists, who often stop by for a quick carbo-loading session after their ride.

The signature here is the Bakmi Campur (IDR 40K) — a perfect mix of pork and chicken that really captures that authentic “Kota” taste. Don’t forget to ask for fried pork fat (ampas) as a crunchy condiment; it takes the bowl to another level.

To round things out, order some sides: • Baso Goreng (IDR 11K) — freshly fried, crispy, and absolutely addictive. • Siomay (IDR 10K) — a simple but satisfying starter.

Best part? They serve free hot tea, making it the ideal breakfast pairing with your noodles.

👉 Overall, it’s a casual yet legendary stop if you’re craving comforting bakmi with that classic Jakarta...

It's one of my favorite noodle places, the flavor of the noodle is really good, and it cooks to perfection. But that's when in their old place at the house.

This is the first time visiting this noodle place in their new place. What a disappointment, the noodle actually is still good, but when it was served, it is warm, not hot.

The soup, too, is all warm. Nothing is hot. Maybe it took a long time sitting in their kitchen.

Or they just keep cooking the noodle in the kitchen and just wait for orders to come in, and they just add the topping according to the orders.

Hopefully, this is just not the best time for me. I will be back...
