Guestbook
“ Nestled in a backroads of Cilandak this restaurant deliver more than expected! Delicious unique traditional meals that you rarely find in other places. All the ones that I tasted were excellent! The service was great, very friendly and accommodating. It’s not hard to call for service even when you are in the indoor dining area since they have bells you can use to call for service. From the outside it doesn’t seem to it’s an upscale place but once you get inside you’ll very comfortable and the ambiance is that you usually find in an upscale contemporary establishment. I saw they have another location in Bogor that are more close to nature. Will be sure to visit when I have the chance ”
“ I came at 11am, the place was still empty. They have two areas, outdoor and indoor, the indoor one, has ac and for non smoking costumer. Small room but nice. The food is good, tasty and from what I see the cleanliness is good. Price is affordable. Its good to come here with small group or just by yourself. Overall this place is cute with good food. ”
“ Tansu Cilnandak is a family-friendly dining spot with delicious food across the menu. The honey fried chicken is especially delightful, and the Ketan Susu are savory and delicious. It's sure to become a favorite spot for Sunday morning breakfasts. The staff is friendly and very helpful, the prayer room is clean, and there's both indoor air-conditioned seating and outdoor options. Overall, highly recommended. ”
“ Food is great but not extraordinary. I like their nasi burih, it kinda feels like overcooked tasty rice lol. Their sambal is also great, not too spicy imo. We also ordered nasi with empal, everything was too salty and we couldn’t really taste the spice seasoning. And their kaya toast is good! The coffee drinks are so light, which is not really what I want when I order a cup of coffee. The sweet drinks are a bit too sweet but that’s expected when you order drinks in Indonesia. Unfortunately the outdoor seating area is not air conditioned, so it was pretty warm and humid. They also have limited parking space which corresponds to the limited seating area. ”
“ If you’re searching clean Musholla nearby, here’s the perfect place. The drinks are quite pricey tho. ”
