Pancious - Lippo Mall Puri — Restaurant in Jakarta

Written on May 1, 2024.

Located on the underground floor of the south mall. They specialize in pancake dishes, along with dozens of varied delicacies of pasta, steaks, burgers, etc. Surely, this establishment is in the "costly" category.

Nevertheless, the value for taste and portion is in the "great" setting. The portion is not too small, but, not too big, either. It is on the spot.

Up on the table, the default condiments provided are tomato and chili sauces, as well as chili flakes. Upon request, they will add parmesan cheese. Also, if you order an iced tea, they will provide liquid sugar for you to add to your likings. One of the best parts of this restaurant is that the iced tea drink is refillable!

I ordered the mozzarella fried chicken over a pancake and a waffle, which tasted great! The chicken pieces were juicy and savoury, while the pancake and waffle combined soft and semi-crunchy textures, providing a well-balanced eating experience.

All the while, the staffs were friendly and resourceful. The service and food were up to the franchise's standards. They also have a membership program where you can collect points and redeem them with selected dishes.

They only accept cards and...

Me and my family took my dog out with us for Christmas. Keep in mind that this restaurant has a semi-outdoor area. We asked before hand if we could bring our dog in and the waiter agreed without specifying anything. But the disappointment hits when we entered and he said our dog should stay outside the “border” as it’s the restaurant’s rule. I personally think that’s ridiculous. A mall that’s pet friendly is filled with non-pet friendly restaurants. We purposely picked the table closest to the border (it’s at the very edge and there’s a small gap to fit our dog’s carriage there so people won’t notice). If the reason they’re rejecting pets (specifically dogs) is to prevent religion issues, it’s understandable but keep in mind of the table’s location and we were very polite (no noisy kids and our toy poodle is small and quiet). Please reconsider the existence...

Good and friendly service, good food and comfortable place to hang out.

Creamy Mushroom soup, it was nice, not too salty not too creamy the taste is just right. It was topped with garlic bread croutons and you can see the mushroom chunks in the soup.

Truffle Fries. Just a normal fries with a side of truffle mayo sauce. The fries lack a bit of salt so you need to dip in the sauce, but not too many dipping sauce so it’s a bit disappointing for me.

Honeycomb Salted Caramel Waffle. The salted caramel sauce is so nice combined with crunchy honeycomb. We ordered the additional waffle but i think 1 is just right for it. Honeycomb gets a bit sticky in your teeth so be a bit careful.

Overall, nice restaurant but the price is a bit too pricey...
