Searching for the perfect group hangout in Palembang? This spot is your answer! It's famous for its gigantic Nasi Kebuli platters and juicy Iga Bakar, all at super affordable prices. With spacious seating and generous portions, it's ideal for family or company gatherings. This place is all about amazing flavor and value for money, but be sure to book ahead as it gets packed on weekends. It's a true local gem for satisfying, budget-friendly feasts.
Every time I want to Nongkrong with friends, finding a place is such a headache… Either the place is too small, or the prices are way too high. Pleasing everyone is practically an impossible task. This time in Palembang, I actually managed to dig up a gem of a place, the perfect cure for all kinds of group gathering indecisiveness! It has over 360 reviews on Google, all with a perfect 5.0 score[1], can you believe it?
The star of the show is this gigantic platter of Nasi Kebuli[2]! The moment it was served, the aroma of the spices just hits you, Mantap! The rice is prepared so well, with none of those unground cardamom pods or cinnamon sticks to bite into, which is a dream for someone who's all about the details. There were a lot of us, so we went straight for the Paket Family[3]. It came with both chicken and lamb, and the portions were no joke, the owner is so generous.
You also have to order their new Iga Bakar[4], it's grilled to be so juicy and succulent. A friend who was with me also recommended the Kare Kambing[5], saying it's super yummy. I'll definitely have to order it next time. The whole environment is quite spacious, with plenty of parking[6], so you don't have to worry about bringing a large group and not finding a seat. It's perfect for family or company gatherings.
To be honest, this isn't one of those trendy, Instagrammable little shops; it's a place that's genuinely focused on flavor and portion size. The prices are truly pocket-friendly (ramah dikantong)[7], with individual meals starting from just 38k IDR, so you get maximum value for your money. But the only thing to complain about is that it gets super crowded on weekends! If you want to go, it's best to call and book in advance, or you'll be waiting forever.
A Quick Guide for the Lazy, You're Welcome 👇
- ☎️ Book in Advance: It's always packed on weekends, so if you don't want to make a wasted trip, give them a call (0821-8025-7930)![8]
- 🍽️ Choose a Set Menu Based on Your Group Size: They have set menus for 4, 6, 12, or even more people[9]. Figure out your headcount and order a set; it's way more cost-effective than ordering a la carte.
- 🎉 Chance for a Freebie: I was scrolling through their IG and saw they have a content creation challenge where you can win a free family set menu[10]. Savvy friends, go for it!
- 💰 Look Out for Discounts: They occasionally have limited-time offers like 10% OFF for lunch[11]. Follow their official account—every little bit saved counts, right?
- The Nasi Kebuli's intense spices and perfectly clean rice are a perfectionist's dream [1].
- The new Iga Bakar is juicy and glistening, and the friend-recommended Kare Kambing is a foolproof choice [2][3].
- 360+ Google reviews, all a perfect 5.0 [4]. Prices are truly pocket-friendly (ramah dikantong) [5], from 38k IDR. What a steal
