3-4tahun yg lalu langganan kesini tpi by kurir.. baru 2 bulan terakhir kesini lagi langsung ke resto, menunya gak sekomplit dulu, padahal nyari sayur asemnya untuk harga disini standart ya.. bahkan bisa dibilang murah buat kalangan atas, nasinya kurang ya klo sekelas resto, kiranya bisa ditingkatkan, terakhir kesini malam2.. gtw buru2 atau gimana jamur anak saya gak ada rasanya walau hanya sekedar garam, dan sayuran steak nya sudah sedikit asam jdi gak ku makan semuanya, sambalnya mending pilih yg paket selera... sambal pencit enak... sambal tomat segar bisa ditingkatkan lagi mbak mas nya ramah.. resto bagian bawah bersih tertata rapi, yg atas lampu kipas bisa di cek lagi kebersihanya.. yg ku salut lagi banyak kucing disekitar resto dan tepat di samping pintu sudah tersedia dryfood.. kerenn...sukses selalu

Good place for having a hearty meal with your friends and family. Nice choice for those who like traditional indonesian 'sambal' (sauce) foods. It has plenty of menu choices and specialty in its sambal taste, which made you won't regret coming here. The place is comfy and have a nice vibe with two floor and terrace table. Its also provide a little mosque for you who want to have prayer in the 3rd floor.

Tempatnya berada didepan Giant Express Cifest-Villa Mutiara Cikarang. Makanan dan minumannya cukup variatif. Ada paket hemat juga sehingga lebih effisien jika makan besar bareng teman/keluarga. Parkiran luas, ada sistem lesehan atau duduk dikursi. Suasana nyaman. Harga terjangkau.
