Restoran Garuda

"The Ultimate 2 a.m. Jakarta Fix You stumble out of CGK at some ungodly hour, jet-lagged and hollowed out, craving something that feels like a warm embrace from a stranger who actually knows how to cook. Nasi Padang is Indonesia’s ultimate comfort food — bold, spicy, unapologetic, built for appetites both local and weary. Most of the soulful little warungs demand a native gut and perfect timing and while the bigger chains are safer for tourists, but good luck finding one that’s still alive after midnight. That’s where Restoran Garuda on Jalan Agus Salim earns its keep. While its daytime rival Sederhana shines as early as breakfast, Garuda stays open, steady, and unpretentious in the middle of the city’s late-night food chaos. The rendang is dark, rich, and properly fierce. The ayam pop arrives juicy and fragrant. And the keting — that addictive, chewy, spice-laced whatever-part-of-cow-it-is, the star of every Padang joint, is executed to perfection here, served piping hot, no matter if it’s 2 a.m. or 5. It’s not the most refined plate in Jakarta, but for reliability when your body clock is screaming and your stomach is louder, Garuda delivers. Four stars for being there when it counts."

"The restaurant, conveniently located on Jl. H. Agus Salim, is renowned for its variety of traditional Indonesian dishes and its consistently delicious flavors. One of the standout features of Restoran Garuda is its strategic location in the heart of the city, which makes it easily accessible. However, this prime location also means that parking can be quite challenging, so it is something to keep in mind when planning your visit. Restoran Garuda is known for maintaining a high standard of taste and quality across all its branches, and this location is no exception. The consistency in flavor and quality is something patrons appreciate, ensuring that you can expect the same delightful culinary experience whether you're here or at another branch. A must-try dish at Restoran Garuda is the jengol, a flavorful and aromatic specialty that tantalizes the taste buds. This dish, along with other menu items, showcases the restaurant's commitment to authentic Indonesian flavors and culinary traditions. Each dish is crafted with care, using fresh ingredients and traditional recipes that have been passed down through generations."

"Ok tasting, food were lukewarm which is disturbing. The famous skinless chicken was frankly crap and absurdly priced"

"Visited during weekend lunch time. The place is not full, but they seems to order a lot of online orders. The buffet is clean and orderly with menus that looked fresh. I ordered nasi rames with beef rendang. The beef is lean and the rendang spices taste good. Price was quite high for such place. Cutlery is old and service was a bit slow. Even just payment takes sometime."
