Came here only for their famous DENDENG BATOKOK! Must have! So yum! Happiness on a plate! Other food I can recommend is their Ayam Pop. The crunchy fried chicken with soy sauce. Used to eat their Ayam Pop back then circa 2000. It’s good tho. But now I’m more into their Dendeng Always crowded in lunch time. Yet the service is fast and staff were very friendly! Tables are close to each other, you may sit with other customers. Not only do you get to try a spice sensory carnaval of flavors, you meet knew people you may not have with out this Sumatrian Nasi Padang experience. If this is your first experience with Nasi Padang, the staff will help you with a smile! Kinda hard to find a parking lot. Limited parking area.

Delicious Nasi Padang and Redang Daging on the recommendation of my taxi driver. Restaurant is popular and busy when I arrive, but there are many staff and they are happy to assist me. Bowls of water are placed by the table for you to wash your hand if you need. A glass of hot water is also served. They always seem to serve with extra rice that I should have rejected. Now I feel so full. I got the Redang Daging and an egg. Paid 41k

My favourite food and restaurant since my childhood. This restaurant is so popular in Chevron children since 90's batch. Until today, i still love their food. Specially dendeng lambok, cincang, sate padang and avocado juice from this restaurant somehow have the old memories for me.
