The facade of the Resto

It serves fast traditional (oxymoron) food without MSG. There are also no man-made coloring, preservative and flavoring.

The spread is long

The service is fast in comparison with the slow service in Indonesian restaurants.

I was told by the manager that they will be opening a branch in Malaysia soon.

Friendly service

Generally they fulfill the requirements of the practical and urbane food buff which are: fast and friendly service, right ambiance, taste is above average and price is reasonable.

Nice ambiance

Mind you they even have otak-otak!

Do drop by if you are in Surabaya. Check out the following pictures.
