Pondok Sate Djono Jogya — Restaurant in Jakarta

If you like kambing and innards cut, also do not need a 5-star resto vibes, this is one of a place to go to. From my perspective, this is one of the best lamb satay in Jakarta, in terms of taste and portion. However, the place can be categorized in more expensive price range.

I ordered: Lamb satay: The cut is quite big but still tender. Around 200K for 25 satay (8K each). There is a big fatty cut in the middle (gajih/tetelan). Lamb Head Soup: Similiar to common light goat soup, but replace the meat with meat and innard from a Goat Head. If you do not like jeroan (innard), maybe can skip this. The broth is delicious and a good combination of goat broth and light seasoning, suitable to complement the rice and soy souce. Tahu sumedang: just a regular deep fried brown tofu served with spicy soy sauce.

The restaurant itself is quite hot, no air conditioning available. The barbeque smoke can get inside so be prepared to smell like smoke after you get out.
