Discover Kebon Kita, a hidden urban oasis in Tangerang perfect for pet parents! This lush garden restaurant offers a stunning green escape to relax and "nongkrong" with friends and furry companions. While the atmosphere is the main draw, be sure to try standout Indonesian dishes like Nasi Goreng and Bebek Goreng. It's the ideal spot if you value a chill vibe over a perfect culinary experience, but be prepared for potentially slow service and inconsistent food quality.
Friends in Tangerang, are you feeling a bit drained by the hustle and bustle of Jakarta? Anjay, last weekend in a hidden corner of Serpong, I dug up a real "urban oasis"! Seriously, the place is a bit tricky to find. I almost drove past it even with GPS, but after going through the unassuming entrance, I literally went "Wow" out loud...
So Green It Cleanses Your Eyes, So Chill You Won't Want to Leave
This place is called Kebon Kita, which means "Our Garden" in Indonesian. They didn't get the name wrong; the whole place is a huge open-air garden, filled with lush greenery everywhere you look. Sunlight filters through the leaves, and it feels like the PM2.5 instantly drops to zero. It's so comfortable to Nongkrong here, you feel completely purified[1]. They even have their own hydroponic greenhouse where they sell fresh vegetables, which is a pretty cool concept[2].
My friends and I ordered a table full of Indonesian food. It's not exactly cheap per person, but a few dishes were truly Mantap!
- Signature Indonesian Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng)[3]: Full of 'wok hei', rich in aroma, it's a safe bet you can't go wrong with.
- Fried Duck (Bebek Goreng)[4]: The portion is decent, you get half a duck. It's fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is spot on.
- Signature Lemon Tea (Kebon Kita Tea)[5]: This is a must-order! The lemon aroma is super refreshing. Having a glass on a hot Indonesian afternoon instantly revives you.
Don't Rush Over Just Yet, I Have to Be Honest
The atmosphere is genuinely great, but it's not without its flaws. Girls, listen up:
- 1. Inconsistent Flavors: The Indonesian dishes are generally on point, but the Western food is a bit of a gamble. The Chicken Stroganoff my friend ordered was pretty average, and as for the fried coconut balls (Klepon Goreng), promise me you won't try them lightly[6].
- 2. Service is Hit-or-Miss: The food comes out a bit slow. We waited almost half an hour for a fried rice, so impatient people might go crazy[7].
- 3. Environmental Variables: Although it's lush and green, it is outdoors, after all. Sometimes there's live music, but it's so loud it feels like you're at a club, and you have to shout to have a conversation[8]. Also... that day I caught a whiff of a neighbor burning trash nearby, which kind of ruined the vibe.
