Tempted by a 4.9 Google rating? This Senopati spot is a visual stunner with its retro-luxury decor, making it perfect for photos. But the food is hit-or-miss! To ensure a great experience, stick to the must-try dishes like the Singaporean Chili Oil Noodle and Fettuccine Truffle Mushroom, and definitely grab their affordable croissants. A huge plus: the restaurant is fully Halal-certified and features a spacious prayer room, making it a fantastic and inclusive hangout spot.
I went because of its high 4.9 score on Google, thinking that getting a score like that in the super competitive Senopati area must mean it's something special. The moment I walked in, to be honest, I was truly stunned by the decor. This bling-bling vibe with a touch of retro luxury, every snapshot looks like a professional photo, and the ambiance is maxed out[1].
The place has two floors. The downstairs area is perfect for a quiet date, and if you want to Nongkrong and gossip with your girls, you can go upstairs, but the space is a bit enclosed, so it can get a little noisy when it's crowded. Overall, it's the kind of place you see and just know, ah, it's 100% photogenic, perfect for taking pictures and checking in.
Highlights: The Hits and Misses Are All Here
I originally thought this kind of place was all about the ambiance, but I was pleasantly surprised by the main courses!
👍 Safe Bets:
The Singaporean Chili Oil Noodle[2] was surprisingly delicious. The broth is very savory, the flavors are well-balanced, and the portion size is generous. And that Fettuccine Truffle Mushroom[3], the creamy truffle sauce is incredibly rich, Mantap! Their real strength is actually their baked goods; the various Pastries and Croissants[4] are very flaky and crispy, and they only cost a little over 20k, which is a great deal.
👎 Things to Avoid:
But! Girls, take my advice, don't just order randomly. That hyped-up Poured Tiramisu[5]... how should I put it... it was a bit of a letdown for me. There's almost no coffee flavor, it's just a blob of sweet cream, Anjay... totally not worth the price. Some of the other main courses were also mediocre; it feels like the chef's performance is a bit inconsistent. Oh, and that Aglio e Olio[6], if you can't handle spicy food, definitely don't touch it. My friend was hit by a spiciness so intense they started questioning their life choices.
The Editor's Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls
Finally, here are a few practical tips for you girls:
- 1. Parking: If you're driving, there are very few parking spots out front. Just use the valet parking; it's 20k Indonesian Rupiah[7] and saves you the hassle.
- 2. Muslim-Friendly: The most praiseworthy thing is how friendly this place is to our Muslim friends! Not only is the entire restaurant Halal-certified[8], but there's also a super spacious and clean prayer room (Musholla)[9] on the second floor, with direct elevator access. The attention to detail is top-notch!
- 3. Ordering Strategy: Come here to take photos, Chill for a bit, or have a small get-together with friends. For pastries, go straight for the croissants. For main courses, you can try the Singaporean noodle and the truffle fettuccine. As for everything else... just leave it to fate, haha. 😜
- Blown away by the bling bling & retro luxury decor. Every shot is 100% Instagrammable, pure blockbuster vibes![1]
- Their croissants are unbelievably flaky, crumbling perfectly. And only 20k-ish – what a pleasant surprise![2]
- Muslim-friendly! It's Halal certified, with an elevator-accessible super spacious prayer room on 2F. Thoughtful![3][4]
