“ Best food we had in yogya. Buffet home made indonesian food . Delicious food, specially the spinach omelette, clean place. Definitely would recomend it! ”
“ The food is great Indonesian cuisine and it is self service is good. Price was reasonable at 180k for 9 persons. Food was hot and the dont forget to try the spinach fritters was crispy. Avoid the chicken as it was dry and hard ”
“ It's not the best food what I ate, but it's good option for vegan and vegetarian who want eat cheap. 4 type of veggies, rice + juice (a lot of water) cost just 28k. ”
“ One of the best buffet places in Yogyakarta City. The taste of the food is quite delicious and like home cooking. Indeed, the price is a bit more expensive than other food stalls, but it is worth it for the taste and pleasure you get. The location is near Prawirotaman street which is the center of foreign tourists in the city of Yogyakarta. The variety of food is quite large. One of the targets that runs out rather quickly here is Kentucky chicken. It's best to come to this place somewhere between 10.30-11.30 am, where the food provided is complete and the restaurant is not yet full of visitors. The indoor space is quite limited. The outdoor room is quite large and can accommodate many people. The toilets are clean and the parking is spacious but the fee is standard. The service is friendly. Payment can now be made using QRIS. ”
