UNSILENT in Lampung earns its high ratings with a fantastic live music atmosphere, making it a top spot for a night out. But the food is a wild gamble. This review uncovers the venue's split personality: an electric vibe perfect for drinks and chilling with friends, contrasted with disastrous dishes like rubbery steak and spoiled tofu. Learn what to expect from this "blind box" dining experience and how to avoid the pitfalls before you go.
My friends in Lampung kept telling me to come to this place, UNSILENT, saying it's a holy grail for young people to nongkrong, and the 4.6 stars on Google looked pretty impressive too. Once I walked in, the atmosphere was undeniably great. There's air conditioning indoors and a huge outdoor space. When the live music starts at night, the whole place's vibe goes through the roof, Mantap!
But... after I sat down and ordered, my patience started to be severely tested.
Eating Here is Like Opening a Blind Box, Not for the Faint of Heart
This place was a real tale of two extremes. The environment and music are genuinely good, perfect for young people and families to come and chill, and some guests even get on stage to sing with the band, which creates a great sense of participation[1].
But when it comes to the food, I just can't. My friend bravely ordered a 100,000 Rupiah steak, and it took almost an hour to arrive[2]. The moment we cut into it, we all fell silent... Anjay, this wasn't a steak, it was like cutting a rubber tire[3]!
In the spirit of "giving it another chance," I ordered their signature Tahu Cagar, which I used to quite like. But one bite almost sent me to the afterlife... The tofu had clearly gone bad and turned sour[4]. The quality control is seriously worrying. However, my companion's seafood fried rice and cheese fried bananas were reportedly decent[5], so ordering here is purely a game of luck.
The coffee was a mixed bag too. My friend's Espresso Double Shot[6] was supposedly super strong, great for a wake-up call. But my Kopi Gula Aren[7] was... emmm, let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement.
To be fair...
Although I've been trashing the food, I have to admit, if you're not here to eat, but just to listen to music, drink, and nongkrong with friends, then the experience is still on point. The atmosphere is lively, and everyone is very relaxed. But if you're coming with a "foodie exploration" mindset, I'd advise you to be kind to yourself and pick another place.
A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls, You're Welcome!
Finally, for those who plan to go, let me highlight the key points. If you want to go without any disasters, just follow these tips:
- 🎯 Know Your Purpose: You come here to listen to music and drink, don't have any unrealistic fantasies about the food. The live music starts after 9 PM, which is when the atmosphere is at its best.
- 🍔 Ordering Strategy: If you absolutely must eat, go for safe bets like fried rice. For steak and tofu dishes, promise me, just run![8]
- 🧘♂️ Be Patient: The serving speed is a complete mystery; waiting one or two hours is the norm[9]. Whatever you do, don't come on an empty stomach, or you'll go crazy.
- 🦟 Outdoor Mosquito Protection: Want to sit outside and soak in the vibe? You can, but please bring your own mosquito repellent. Otherwise, you'll be the mosquitoes' all-you-can-eat buffet[10].
- 🚗 Parking is a Gamble: There are very few parking spots out front, only about 7[11]. During peak hours, be prepared to find a spot along the roadside.
- The Live Music at night is electric! Guests even get on stage to sing with the band, making it super interactive [1]. Perfect for friends and family to chill.
- Just here for drinks and music or to nongkrong with friends? The vibe is still on point—lively, yet super relaxed.
- A friend said their Espresso Double Shot was super strong. An amazing pick-me-up [2] and a total lifesaver for night owls.
