Makassar parents, looking for a place where you can eat in peace while the kids play? Almaz Fried Chicken is your answer! This clean, three-story spot features a fantastic indoor playground to keep little ones entertained. While they burn off energy, you can savor the unique Saudi-style Fried Chicken, flavorful Spiced Rice, and a variety of special sambals. It’s affordable, family-friendly, and even open 24 hours, making it the perfect destination for a stress-free meal anytime.
Taking the kids out to eat is always like going to battle, they're either running around like crazy or crying and flipping the table... Until I discovered this place in Makassar, Almaz Fried Chicken, which instantly became my holy grail! A magical place where my little monster can burn off energy and this mom can finally eat in peace!
Don't think it's just your average, run-of-the-mill fast-food joint. I was shocked as soon as I walked in—it's a whole three stories, sparkling clean. There's no greasy fried chicken smell in the air; instead, they play very peaceful Islamic recitations (murattal), and the whole vibe just makes you feel so Chill. The best part is, there's actually a decent-sized kids' play area on the second floor[1]! Toss the kid in there, and the world is instantly quiet. I can finally sit down and have a proper meal 🙏.
Now, let's talk about the food. Their signature dish is the Saudi-style Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng Saudi)[2], and it's completely different from all those other flashy options out there! The spice flavor is super rich, the kind of flavor that marinates all the way to the bone. The skin is fried to a perfect crisp, and it's still juicy when you take a bite, Mantap! Pair it with their special Spiced Rice (Nasi Kebuli)[3]—the rice grains are perfectly separated and full of flavor, it's the pure joy of a carb bomb. Sambal lovers will be ecstatic; they offer several kinds of special Sambal[4]. My favorites are the garlic and onion ones, they've got a real kick, Anjay!
Gotta be honest though, the chicken leg I had this time was super juicy, but a friend told me they sometimes get drier pieces. Maybe it depends on the chef's luck that day? But overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I'm willing to take the gamble for that play area!
TL;DR & Pro Tips ✍️
