Went there for afternoon lunch. They have a very nice place, open air in the middle of Jakarta. However the service they provide is TOTALLY NOT RECOMMENDED. The staff (except the hostesses) they were very rude and lack of training how to do sequence of service. Cz to me, we are not paying for cheap price, imagine per pax is almost 250-300k we deserve kind of nice service. But not here. We sat upstairs at level 2 outdoor. We wanted to sit at the chair with cusion but the smell is like toilet. like omg And then we moved. Got a nicer table. Surprised the staff bring our food and put in our rudely without any word to mention what dish was that, for whom will be, he just put randomly at the table and pounding. not one time but few times! Ga pny adab dan mulut. Meal for my little brother were coming late. Almost 1 hour just for very regular udang goreng. When I asked the waiter, he answered without saying sorry, just ask us to be patient with rude tone. When I asked the estimation time, again he just asked to be patient. Can you imagine that?! Cz if it’s going to be very late I would just cancel the order.

You know what, that was not worth it at all even the food was just so so. Nothing special. Just the ambience...

Assalamu'alaikum,

This restaurant used to be called “Talaga Sampireun”. I don't know why the name changed, alhamdulillah google maps stated the previous name of this restaurant. I had come to 3 other Talaga Sampireun restaurants, all of their food was delicious, the restaurants had great ambience, facilities (toilet, playground) were also clean and in good condition.

This branch was not disappointing either, the food was great! Service was fast, even on holidays. What I liked the most from this branch was the outdoor non-smoking seating areas and its prayer room. So far the other branch's outdoor seating area allowed smoking, so it's horrible for me and my family, thus we chose to eat at the indoor ones. However in this branch, we could eat outside happily without breathing in the smoke.

The prayer room was beautiful! Just look at the photos! It's also clean and tidy. The prayer mat also smelled good and felt soft (seemed like it was cleaned regularly). The room was not damp nor smelly. There's also a curtain to cover the entrance to the women's prayer room.

I hope that more restaurants ban smoking and provide outdoor seating areas free of smokes. And provide prayer rooms as clean and beautiful as...
