One of the legendary culinary must try in Surabaya. There are several choices of menu. Nasi Campur and Nasi Rawon one of the best. The location has a parking area and the place is clean. Prices adjust to the value of a well-known restaurant. Gonna miss this food

One of the best traditional restaurants in surabaya that offers authentic dishes such as pecel (vegetables salad with coconut paste), nasi campur (mixed rice), rawon, yellow rice, fried duck, etc! The service is fast & nice. The foods are so tasty, although you can find a similar taste with cheaper price at the street food.

Take out. The east java spice is quite different with west and central. The mix rice. Still spicy but has different use of spices. The tofu has cumin. Which west/central use more corriander . It give more curry aftertaste. The pork satay still using coriander with dominant sweet flavor. All the chicken, Beef tendon, Tofu, and big size glass noodle is a whole new different level

They've been around for ages, and the food reflects just that. A combination of several elements, each perfected over time, that really hits the spot. They don't only offer the infamous nasi campur (mixed rice), but also offer dishes like rawon soup and oxtail soup. Place looks quite old but is clean and well-maintained. Comfortable to have lunch in.

Authentic food of Surabaya, it is truly a legend. Here is the original place, now it has few branches around the town. Nasi campur, nasi empal, nasi rawon, absolutely tasty and recommended, and 100% halal. Place has enough seating, and clean too. Parking is just on roadside.

This is one of the legendary chinese restaurant in Surabaya, and it's HALAL. Located in strategic place in Surabaya, this place is crowded during lunch time. I came here for the first time and really enjoyed the meal. We ate rawon, nasi campur, and fish ball. They were all very tasty and delicious. Recommended meal to try if you're not Surabaya people and have a plan to visit Surabaya.
