Discover Piro, a spacious, kid-friendly restaurant in South Tangerang perfect for family outings. With a huge playground and fish pond, it’s a paradise for children, allowing adults to relax. But be warned, the food is like a blind box! While the Indonesian dishes, especially the Sop Iga, are fantastic, the Western menu can be a hit-or-miss adventure. It’s the ideal spot for a relaxed family day, as long as you order strategically to ensure a delicious meal.
Every weekend, trying to find a place in South Tangerang (Tangerang Selatan) for a family outing is a huge headache. Either the place is too small for the kids to run around, or it's just a pure children's playground where adults can only sit and play on their phones. I stumbled upon this place, Piro, with a 4.6 rating on Google. The pictures showed a huge space, and I felt like I had finally found a savior!
The moment we arrived, whoa, the parking lot was insanely huge, which instantly put me at ease. As soon as my kid saw the children's playground and fish pond inside, their eyes lit up, and they broke free from my hand and dashed right in. I thought to myself, perfect! I can finally have a peaceful afternoon to Nongkrong. The environment is truly impeccable—spacious and comfortable, with an air-conditioned indoor area and an outdoor section for friends who smoke. It's the standard setup for an Indonesian family gathering. 👌
The Food is a Bit of a Mystery
Sitting down to order, the menu is a fusion of Western, Asian, and local Indonesian cuisine, enough to give you decision paralysis. Playing it safe, I started with a few recommended dishes.
The Sop Iga (Beef Rib Soup)[1] arrived, and the aroma was incredible. The meat was stewed until tender, and the broth was rich. This dish was absolutely Mantap! 👍 There was also the Nasi Ayam Piro (Piro's Special Chicken Rice)[2], which came with two kinds of sauces. The flavor was on point, the kind of can't-go-wrong comfort food.
But! Here comes the plot twist! I tempted fate and ordered the Fish and Chips[3]... How should I put it? The texture was very strange. Both the batter and the fish had a weird taste, with a slight fishy smell, a completely different story from what I'm used to. Anjay, opening this mystery box was a bit too thrilling. A friend who ordered the fried calamari also said the texture was like chewing rubber[4]. It seems the quality of their Western food is a bit inconsistent.
Time for Some Honest Truths
Honestly, the food quality here is a gamble. The Indonesian dishes are generally a safe bet, but as for the Western food... just leave it to fate. The portions are also quite delicate[5], just right for a girl, but guys with bigger appetites might need to order more. The prices, however, are very fair. Coffee and other drinks are mostly under 30k IDR, so the value for money is good.
However, there's one complaint I have to mention: the environment of the prayer room (Mushola) really needs improvement. It's mixed in with the staff break area, and the smell of smoke and noise make for a really poor experience for those who need a quiet place to pray[6]. I hope the owner can improve it.
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Money, You're Welcome!
Finally, here are a few practical tips for you:
- Target Audience: If you're bringing the whole family and your main goal is to entertain the kids, this place is an absolute paradise. Adults can eat and chat in peace while the children have a place to run wild.
