Parents in Makassar, rejoice! Almaz Fried Chicken is your new go-to spot for a stress-free family meal. This place serves up incredibly crispy and juicy fried chicken, uniquely paired with aromatic Nasi Kebuli (spiced rice). The real game-changer is the indoor mini playground, allowing parents to relax while the kids play. It’s a clean, family-focused haven where even picky eaters are happily fed, making it the ultimate dining destination for those with children.
When it comes to eating fried chicken in Indonesia, I thought I'd seen it all... until I walked into Almaz Fried Chicken in Makassar. The place doesn't blast TikTok hits, but instead has quiet Murottal (Quranic recitations) playing on a loop? Anjay, this vibe is a bit different! 🤯
Fried Chicken with Spiced Rice, I Ship This Pairing!
Don't be fooled by its ascetic BGM, the flavor is heavyweight! I ordered the signature Fried Chicken with Nasi Kebuli[1], and it's a match made in heaven.
The fried chicken skin is so crispy it crunches, but the juices inside are perfectly locked in. The spice flavor hits you right in the soul, and every bite is super flavorful. Paired with the Nasi Kebuli (spiced rice), the taste is very balanced. The spices are just right and don't steal the show, perfectly complementing the aroma of the chicken. Mantap! 👍
The portions are generous too. One set meal is enough to fill up a guy, and the value for money is great[2].
The Ultimate Spot for Kids, Freeing Up Your Hands is No Longer a Dream
This place is practically tailor-made for families. The environment is unbelievably clean, and the best part is, there's actually a mini playground inside the restaurant! Fellow parents, you know what I mean, right? You can finally free up your hands and let the bocil (little kids) burn off their energy, while we get to Nongkrong and eat in peace. 😭
Plus, the parking lot is huge, and it's equipped with a prayer room (musholla). All the facility details are on point[3]. No wonder I saw so many local families coming with everyone in tow. Even kids who are usually picky eaters have a great appetite here[4].
To be Honest, There's a Small Complaint
Although the food and environment are close to perfect, the service can be a bit of a hit-or-miss. Most of the time the staff are quite friendly, but when it gets crowded during peak hours, you might find yourself being left hanging for ages with no one attending to you[5]. So, friends who plan to visit, you'll need a bit of patience.
