Rumah Makan SURYA Masakan Padang — Restaurant in Jakarta

Taste** There is a saying: judge the padang by its rendang. And for the most part it has its own trueness. So, I googling, like most of us doing in this day and age, and found that rendang in surya is rendang darek. Rendang darek, fyi, is rendang with blackened curry, because it has junten, pepper, chilli, and its hotness is more moderate than rendang pesisir, with redder curry, and more chili, i guess. So back to the resto food, its rendang is very moderate, there is lack of spiciness, and for me lack of savoury also. The good thing about the rendang is the meat is very tender. I'm also have fried paru or fried cow ling, it is very crispy, but again the level of savory is still under my tastebud level. For comparison, The rendang from bopet mini that located near the area i think more tasty.

Coziness** This resto is one of the legendary padang resto in town. They first served their dished in 1960, so it has traditional padang resto outlook. I came in the morning, and i dont see any air conditioner, I imagined it will be a bit hot in the afternoon.

Price** Rendang and paru with rice, and i got charge 52k, a bit much maybe for a padang resto, but for its taste and nostalgia, i think price tag will always be the last to...

The second location in Benhil to visit for Minang food!

Yet despite its modest appearance, it has a non-smoking room and an air-conditioned seating area.

When eaten with dendeng, sambal ijo is quite delectable. Unfortunately, they didn't have dendeng batokok with sambal merah when I came here for dinner the previous weekend. Nevertheless, everything was still delicious, especially the rendang. They offered hot rice with it, and it was so tasty.

You can either sit at the table and the waiter will bring up all the options, or you can come to the counter and choose what you want.

Since it is a restaurant on the side of the road, the main drawback is that parking can be problematic if it...

The place has the best Ayam Pop in Jakarta. I believe.

So, if you want to have a Nasi Padang with big group of friends or even just for yourself, this one is one of the best place you can go. Especially if you're around Benhil area.

Actually, Benhil has a lot of Nasi Padang place. But I believe this one is the most cozy. And the taste is also amazing.

They have a section with air conditioning. So it's gonna be more comfortable considering Jakarta is so hot everyday.

Speaking of menu, I don't think there's failed menu. Ayam pop is the best one I have. Their gulai otak, kikil, rendang, and tambusu are also great.

It's a bit on a pricey side, but...
