I had the pleasure of dining at a wonderful Nasi Padang restaurant during my recent trip to Jakarta. The moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by the cozy and warm ambiance, with friendly staff welcoming us and guiding us to our seats.
The menu was extensive, offering a wide variety of dishes, and I was spoilt for choice. I decided to try the traditional Nasi Padang, and it was a gastronomic delight, with the flavor and aroma of perfectly cooked rice blended perfectly with the savory, spicy, and aromatic dish.
The accompanying dishes were equally delicious, from the succulent beef rendang and the spicy sayur asam to the crispy ikan balado. I particularly enjoyed the Sambal, which was bursting with flavors and adding an extra kick to the dishes and the meal.

For you softcore, the signature dish you definitely need to sample is the grilled chicken. Yumm with a hint of sweetness typical of...

What is most disappointing is during my visit today on Friday 11.50 am. It was not marked as close, but nobody can serve us to dine in even for takeaways because everyone from the kitchen is away for lunch and friday prayer's break at the same time.
And we are asked to wait until 01.00 pm if we still want to eat there.
I have to drive my guess away and search for another option for lunch. This is so embarrassing and wasting time remembering we went 30 minutes drive to reach...
