Curious about the viral Tadah Seduh in Medan and its near-perfect 4.9 rating? This guide reveals the secret to a flawless visit. While the spacious, Instagrammable ambiance is a huge draw, the key is knowing what to order. Stick to the amazing and affordable Indonesian dishes and specialty coffees for a guaranteed great time. Learn which menu items to avoid (hint: Western food) and make your next group hangout a foolproof success at this popular hotspot.
This spot in Medan has almost 1300 reviews on Google with a scarily high 4.9 rating[1]. At first, I thought it was just another overhyped spot, until I sat down and ordered... Oh man, it was half a pleasant surprise and half a shock. So today, I'm here to break it down for you all, how to eat at Tadah Seduh without hitting any landmines!
First, let's talk about the ambiance. They definitely spent some serious money on it. The space is huge, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's very well-designed. Any random photo you take looks like an Instagram masterpiece[2]. It's especially perfect for bringing the whole family or gathering a bunch of friends to Nongkrong. I feel like the brand also wanted to create a space for people to slow down, and they've achieved that.
Let's get straight to the food. If you want to play it safe, order what I recommend: the local dishes and coffee are basically foolproof.
You have to try their signature Kopi teh Tadah Seduh[3]! Coffee mixed with pulled tea, what a concept! The taste is wonderfully unique, Mantap! The latte is also good, the beans are strong, not one of those half-assed milky coffees[4].
For main courses, I highly recommend the Indonesian-style ones, like the Nasi Ayam Taliwang[5], which is full of flavor from the spices. For snacks, just order the Tahu Walik[6] without a second thought. Who doesn't love fried tofu? Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, Anjay!
But! And this is important! If you're thinking of ordering Western food, like pasta or the cordon bleu, I'd advise you to think twice[7]. Seriously, the taste is hard to describe, the seasoning is weird, and the batter is thick. Don't have high hopes for the cakes either; the quality of the chocolate feels just so-so. The prices are really cheap, though. Western dishes are only around 30-40k Indonesian Rupiah[8], so I guess you get what you pay for 🤷♀️.
Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls & Tips
Alright, as usual, here's the TL;DR guide I've put together for you. Save it now!
- ✅ What to order: Focus on Indonesian food + specialty coffees. Be cautious when ordering Western food and cakes!
- 💰 Price: Super cheap per person, you can order whatever you want without feeling the pinch. Can you believe a bowl of Indonesian instant noodles is only 12k?
- 👨👩👧👦 Who should come: Family gatherings, friends for Nongkrong, and couples on a date are all welcome. The place is big enough, and they even have a meeting room that can fit 20-30 people[9].
- 🙅 Who shouldn't come: Digital nomads looking to WFC (Work From Cafe). The Wi-Fi speed here is... 'touching'[10], so it might not be suitable.
- ⏰ When to come: It gets super crowded on weekends, so be prepared to queue[11]. If you want some peace and quiet, come on a weekday. Parking is also tight on weekends, but luckily there are staff to help guide you[12].
