Escape to Oma Huis, a charming retro food court in Cikajang with a cozy European alley vibe. This pet-friendly hangout is the perfect spot for Jakarta's pet parents to chill with their furry friends. Explore various food tenants serving delicious Nasi Kuning and juicy burgers in a photogenic, semi-open courtyard. With its nostalgic tunes and community feel, it’s an ideal place to unwind and escape the city bustle.
The Cikajang area in South Jakarta is where the titans clash, but every time I passed by number 74, I was so curious about this little retro building. Today, I finally went in to check it out. Wow, stepping inside felt like being transported to a cozy European alley, instantly shutting out the hustle and bustle from the street outside.
Ambiance and Food, All in One Go
This place is actually a food sharing space (Food Court) called Oma Huis, but it's not the noisy, chaotic kind you might be imagining. The whole space is semi-open. There's no air conditioning, but the air circulation is great, and with old nostalgic songs playing, it's super chill. Every corner is super photogenic. A casual snap can look like a retro masterpiece, and it's absolutely stunning when the lighting is good[1].
It brings together several popular online spots, so my indecisiveness is kicking in!
I went straight for Oma Cakalang on the first floor. Their signature Nasi Kuning Oma[2] is truly Mantap! The yellow rice is fragrant, sticky, and flavorful, served with shredded smoked fish. The portion isn't huge, but it's just right for brunch.
My friend ordered a Burger[3] from Burnt on the second floor. It was huge, the patty was juicy, and the taste was on point. I also spotted Abadi Noodle[4]. I heard their"mie karet" is one of the best in South Jakarta, so it's already on my list for next time!
It feels like more than just a place to eat; it's more like a community living room. I saw on their notice board that they have activities like collage workshops and cycling meetups[5], which is so lovely.
But Hold On, Let's Be Real
Although the vibe is a 10/10, I have to be frank.
First, since it's a collection of multiple tenants, the food quality can be a bit inconsistent[6], so you need to choose carefully. Some items, like the burgers and smoothies, are indeed on the pricey side, which might hurt your wallet a little.
Secondly, there are some definite drawbacks with the facilities. There's only one restroom[7] for the entire place, and the queue during peak hours is seriously Anjay... Also, the spiral staircase to the second floor is extremely narrow[8]. Girls wearing long skirts or high heels, please be extra careful going up and down!
Pro Tips to Avoid Pitfalls, You're Welcome!
For those of you who want to check it out, take note of these points:
- Parking: There are only two or three parking spots out front, but they offer valet service[9]. Just hand your keys to the attendant. Sometimes it's free, sometimes it's 10,000 IDR, which is very convenient.
- Best Time to Visit: Since there's no AC, definitely avoid coming at noon if you can't stand the heat! It's best to come after 4 PM or in the evening. Enjoying the breeze is the most comfortable[10].
- Opening Hours: Heads up! They close super early. The doors shut at 8 PM[11]. If you're planning to have dinner or hang out for a while, you need to time it right.
- Bonus for Pet Owners: Most importantly! This place is a pet-friendly space[12]! You can bring your furry friends along to chill. Just remember to bring a leash and pee pads to keep the place clean~
