Why Travelers Love The House
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Recommended for international and local tourist. The atmosphere is rich with Javanese culture, the traditional décor and music to the staff’s attire. The menu offers a wide variety of local dishes at very affordable prices, all served in a cozy, dimly lit setting that feels both quirky and authentic. It can get quite crowded, especially at night, but the experience is worth the wait. Perfect place to enjoy good food, culture, and vibes in one spot. Super hot restaurant with lots of heritage stuffs, such as pictures, carriage and so on. The foods they serve is yummy and taste with Indonesian flavor. The cost performance ratio is really high since the portion is really big. However, since there are too many customers all the time, be patient with your orders since it takes around half an hour based on my visit this time. The staffs are really professional to serve you all the time; however it is still traditional in payment by cash only. Not credit, debit or online transfer here. To sum up, a wonderful restaurant to revisit again. Enjoy. Very good food at very affordable prices! Totally understand the queue outside. Not even a fan of mi goreng but really enjoyed this one, despite it being a little salty. Chicken and egg mixed in bamboo was a little dry but the sambal goes too well with it - we even asked and paid for extra sambal. Beef was very tender and the stir fry was more sweet than savoury. Kiwi drink was so good and refreshing - do stir before adding the syrup as there is already sweet concentrate at the bottom of the drink. All this for 118k. Splendid.

Various choices with lovely price Very local and affordable The only thing that might worthwhile to mention is that you need to endure the smoking sitting in the smoking area or you have to floor seating with you shoes off

Visited this place back in 2018. Just got a chance to post this and share our experience back then. What we remembered was that inside, this restaurant had heritage and exotic design and stuff. We sat on the floor (lesehan), but tables are available as well. We ordered menu bareng for 4, ayam koteka and dawet jumbo. The food was yummy. The sambal and the sate especially. Love the dawet jumbo is so perfect for the weather in Jogja. Overall, we had a nice experience while visiting Jogja. 😊
