Thinking of visiting Lampung's hyped-up D'RAJASH RESTO? This spot boasts a grand, photo-worthy ambiance perfect for big groups. But is the food truly "kingly"? While the Mie Tek-Tek and seafood platters are safe bets, the experience can be a gamble, with some dishes like the 80k fried rice falling flat. This review weighs the impressive atmosphere against inconsistent flavors, high prices, and slow service to help you decide if it's worth the visit.
Girls, I just got back from Lampung and have to talk about this super hyped-up place, D'RAJASH RESTO. The entrance looks super grand, and their slogan even dares to call themselves the "King of Delicious Food" (Rajanya Makan Enak!), which totally maxed out my expectations! I felt like I'd be letting myself down if I didn't go in to Nongkrong for a bit.
The ambiance is truly impressive, but the taste is like opening a blind box 🎲
Once you step inside, whoa, the space is huge, with a modern design and a deep blue color scheme. Any casual photo you take looks great; they've totally nailed the atmosphere. The menu is also a heavyweight—Indonesian, Western, Japanese food… it feels like the owner wanted to fit the whole world in there.
There were a lot of us, so we ordered a whole table of food. Honestly, the portions are really big[1], definitely enough to fill you up. Among them, the Mie Tek-Tek[2] was genuinely good, fragrant and full of that wok aroma, a safe bet. If you have a big group, ordering a seafood platter is also a decent choice; the flavor is on point[3].
BUT! Here comes the twist… some of the dishes really make you go anjay… My friend's pasta was supposedly as bland as drinking plain water, and my so-called 80k Rupiah signature fried rice actually had a burnt taste[4], I mean… did the king's chef fall asleep? 😂
Either your wallet or your patience is going to get hurt
To be honest, the prices are on the high side for Lampung, and as for value for money… let's just say 'Kaum mendang-mending silahkan mundur' (Those looking for the best bang for their buck should probably back away)[5]. The most frustrating part is the serving speed; we waited for almost a full hour for all our food to arrive[6], we were so hungry we were about to start chewing on the table. Impatient people, enter with caution!
An honest-to-goodness guide, a must-read before you go!
So, is this place actually worth visiting? Here's my advice:
✅ Who should go?
Family dinners, company outings, or gatherings with friends where the ambiance matters more than the food. If you're looking for a grand setting and a good atmosphere, this place is more than enough.
❌ Who should skip it?
Foodies with extremely high standards for taste, and seriously hungry people who are starving.
💡 Ordering Guide
Go straight for the Mie Tek-Tek[7] and Seafood[8], you basically can't go wrong with those. As for the other dishes… just treat it like opening a blind box.
‼️ Important Pitfalls to Avoid
- Cashless payments only[9]! Remember to bring your e-wallet or card.
- No outside food allowed, you can't even eat a birthday cake inside[10], so don't make a wasted trip!
- The parking fee is a bit random, seems to be 5k without a ticket[11], so be prepared for that.
- Killer vibes at this Lampung spot! The deep blue modern design is super photogenic, perfect for Nongkrong.
- "King of Delicious Food" (Rajanya Makan Enak!)? With a menu from Indonesian to Western to Japanese, my curiosity was definitely piqued!
- The Mie Tek-Tek has amazing 'wok hei'—a foolproof order. The seafood platter is also decent [1][2]. Guess the king's chef was awake!
