I took my rawon (soup with beef sliced meat) along with perkedel and salted egg. It was great, we ate there 2 days in the row.

Very good Rawon, a local delicacy. Open until past midnight. Try the "Rawon Lidah" it's a perfect match with the black broth.

Right portion of rice, meat, soup and dressing. Umami soup combined with tender and juicy meat served with bean sprouts and sambal

This is my first time trying this well-known local culinary, and I'm very satisfied. Great black soup indeed, served with juicy beef dish. Soup is tasty, but perhaps a bit too oily. Good portion and taste, reasonable price to me. They also serve other dishes like Nasi pecel or curry. Spacious place with fan only, decent ambience.

It is a straight forward resto. No menu and price list. Just we come and only 1 menu (rawon), 3 options empal, otak, paru. The rawon is quite okay. Empal tender and juicy. Paru also nice. I like the sambal, really well blended with rawon. Most of time I found sambal rawon but destroy the rawon taste itself. But now the sambal is just nice. It is located in front of the mosque, and it is closed around 40 mins during sholat jumat.

This place is for those who are starving at middle of the night. They open after 6 PM till 2 AM. It has various menu on it list. It has Rawon, Mix Rice (Nasi Campur) and Krengsengan. Basically all of it's menu is great, but my favourite is nasi campur with spicy meat. Perfect

Rawon and pecel is their specialty, but when i tried nasi campur krengsengan, it soon become my favorite here..it contain fried noodle, egg balado, and krengsengan with flavorful tender meat which carries a perfect taste..dont forget to add perkedel..Nice..
